Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Weather Range at Free against Partly Sunny's $2.99. Weather Range also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Partly Sunny's advantage is ratings volume (778 vs 6) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Partly Sunny holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Partly Sunny has 778 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Partly Sunny's written reviews are positive against 100% of Weather Range's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
