  1. 5/5My kid loves it

    Makes getting sunscreen on my kid so much more fun! They love starting the timer and seeing Bernie’s nudge. They ask to check and see how much time is left, and can’t wait to re-apply and start the timer again.

  2. 5/5Updated review

    After reaching out and explaining the issues with location and Fahrenheit / Celsius, the creator of the app was great about fixing it. I’m now using the widget and can keep an eye on the UV, the sunscreen reminder is also very helpful.

    What’s new in Burnie 1.1? The sun is back in full force, and Burnie is ready for it. With this update, we’re making it even easier for you to enjoy the sun safely, without having to constantly think about it. Here’s what we’ve added: • Widgets for everything: Your UV level and reapplication timer are now right on your Home and Lock Screen. A quick glance is all it takes; you don't even need to unlock your phone. • Live in your Dynamic Island: A live timer that shows you exactly how much longer you're protected. No more excuses for sunburned shoulders! • Your rhythm, your reminders: You can now customize exactly which alerts you want to receive. Just a gentle nudge for peak sun hours? Or a morning check-in? You decide. • Quick log: Just applied sunscreen? Tap the widget and your timer starts immediately. It’s that simple. • Fresh new look: Burnie got a makeover. Enjoy brand-new illustrations and a cleaner, sleeker design throughout the entire app. • Better guidance: We now explain more clearly why SPF 50 is often your smartest choice and how it impacts your timer. Questions or feedback? We’d love to hear from you! You can now send us a message directly through the settings or check us out on Instagram. Have you applied your sunscreen today?

    Hey, it's Burnie! I've been working hard to keep you better protected this summer. The biggest change: I now show a live countdown timer right on your protection card. You can see the seconds ticking down, so you always know exactly when it's time to reapply. I also got smarter about the calculation - I now look at the full UV forecast for your protection window, not just the current reading. That means the number I show you actually matches the timer that starts. A few other things I sorted out: - My Dynamic Island timer now knows when to switch from hours to minutes - I show temperatures and wind speeds in whatever units your phone uses - I stopped using "near you" as a place name in your morning reminder - I'll use your real city from now on - Your lock screen now gets a UV trend indicator from me Go enjoy the sun. I'll keep an eye on the time. Burnie

  • 1.3.0

    Hey, it's Burnie! Still working hard to keep you covered this summer. The biggest change this time around is that your protection timer just got a whole lot smarter! I added a new Activity Selection feature, because what you are doing totally changes how long your sunscreen lasts. You can now tell me if you are keeping it relaxed, going swimming, or sweating it out with some sports, and I will automatically tweak your countdown timer to match. For my friends in the Netherlands and Belgium, I also added a brand new Products tab! You can now easily browse and grab my top sun protection picks directly via bol.com and Amazon. Just a heads up that these are affiliate links. That means if you pick up your gear through them, I get a small commission that helps keep the app running! Finally, I had a little fun with this update for everyone hitting up the summer stages. I tucked away a secret easter egg in the app just for you festival goers. I am super curious to see who spots it first, so definitely reach out and let me know if you find it! Go enjoy the sun. I'll keep an eye on the time. Burnie

  • 1.4.0

    Hey, it's Burnie! This update makes me a lot smarter about your skin. The biggest change: I now figure out your skin type with three quick questions, based on the scale dermatologists use. That makes my burn time estimates fit you even better. You can also import your details straight from Apple Health for a faster setup. What else is new: - I gave the products tab a full makeover: swipe through sunscreens one by one and save your favorites. - Scan the barcode on a sunscreen bottle and I'll look it up for you (Netherlands and Belgium). - Forgot to start the timer on time? You can now adjust the start time afterwards. - You now choose from which UV level I send you a heads-up, right in the settings. - Invite your friends with the new share sheet. Sun safety is more fun together. - Plus lots of small fixes and polish behind the scenes. Go enjoy the sun. I'll keep an eye on the time. Burnie

    Hey, it's Burnie! This one is for the whole family. The biggest change: I can now track sun care for everyone in the house. Add a profile for each person and I'll keep a separate skin type, sunscreen, and reapply countdown for all of them. What else is new: - A new tooltip explains your vitamin D range right where you need it. - Tapping a notification now takes you straight to the right screen, instead of just opening the app. - The products tab got smarter, with picks curated just for you. - I now speak a lot more languages, so more of you can chat with me in your own. - Plus the usual small fixes and polish. Go enjoy the sun. I'll keep an eye on the time. Burnie

    Hey, it's Burnie! Big news: I'm now on your wrist. The biggest change: Burnie is on Apple Watch. See your reapply countdown at a glance, tell me you've applied sunscreen straight from your watch, and add me to your watch face so I'm always one look away. What else is new: - I now also tell you how long your skin can handle the sun without any sunscreen. - The countdown on your lock screen looks better and shows more clearly when it's time to reapply. - Important reminders can now reach you even when your phone is on silent or in a focus. - The new Insights tab shows how well you're caring for your skin, with your full history in one place. - Little tips around the app point out handy things you might have missed. - Plus the usual small fixes and polish.

    Hey, it's Burnie! A smaller update, but a good one. The biggest change: in the EU, I've teamed up with Naïf. Look for the banner on your quick-apply card and shop their sunscreen in one tap. Go enjoy the sun. I'll keep an eye on the time. Burnie
