Red River Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Connect has 109 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Weather Connect's written reviews are positive against 0% of Red River Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Weather Connect ships an update every 2 months, Red River Connect every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
