Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 中央氣象署Q at 5.0 against EdiGreen's 2.6. 中央氣象署Q also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). EdiGreen's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 31%) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

中央氣象署Q holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EdiGreen has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of EdiGreen's written reviews are positive against 31% of 中央氣象署Q's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EdiGreen ships an update every 3 months, 中央氣象署Q every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
