Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: METEO at 100% against UAV Forecast's 33%. METEO also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). UAV Forecast's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
