# Weather Widget® vs Weather ++++

Weather Widget® and Weather ++++ both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Weather Widget®'s written reviews are positive against 37% of Weather ++++'s. Weather Widget® also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 190). Weather ++++'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather Widget® sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Weather ++++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Weather Widget® against 4.7 for Weather ++++. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Widget® has 5.5K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Weather Widget®'s written reviews are positive against 37% of Weather ++++'s.

Weather Widget® ships an update every 2 months, Weather ++++ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
