Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Weather ⁰ at 4.5 against C's 1.0. Weather ⁰ also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). C's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weather ⁰ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather ⁰ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of C's written reviews are positive against 36% of Weather ⁰'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

C ships an update every 5 weeks, Weather ⁰ every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
