SunSmart App for iPhone and Android

11 minutes is all it takes
for you to burn
on a summer's day
in Australia.

Be SunSmart in Australia this summer with
the official SunSmart app for Android and iPhone™.

The SunSmart app lets you know when you do and when you don't need sun protection, making it easier than ever to be SunSmart this summer.

With a few clicks, you can find the weather, temperature, UV level and sun protection times for the day anywhere in Australia so you can be prepared for the day ahead.

Sun protection times are based on the UV information issued daily by the Bureau of Meteorology. You can set a default Location to quickly access information for your home town. The app also offers a reminder function that alerts the user of their daily sun protection needs, when it's safe to get some sun for vitamin D and a sunscreen calculator.

Please submit any feedback and suggestions about the Android or iPhone app to sunsmart@cancervic.org.au.
