This week in iPhone apps yielded a couple of interesting new apps that provide some helpful new tools for iPhone users.

iSunBurn by Monika Morris provides you the UV index for any location in the United States. Either enter which location you are interested in manually or allow the app to access your current location to receive a quick update of your area’s UV index. iSunBurn helps turn the guessing game of sun tanning into a predictable science for beach goers this summer.

Community Leash by Shawn Grant lets pet owners everywhere band together to help each other locate lost pets. Users are alerted to lost pets close to their location. They can also upload pictures of their own lost pets to the community or even use their iPhone camera to take photos of other potentially lost pets.
