Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: #WEATHER at 4.7 against Wind Map's 3.6. #WEATHER also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Wind Map's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

#WEATHER holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 65 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Wind Map's written reviews are positive against 60% of #WEATHER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wind Map ships an update every 4 months, #WEATHER every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
