ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weather ⁰ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather ⁰ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Hyper Local Weather'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

Hyper Local Weather ships an update every 2 months, Weather ⁰ every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
