Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rain Maps at every 4 days against الفصول الأربعة's fortnightly. Rain Maps also leads on chart position (#57 vs unranked). الفصول الأربعة's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

الفصول الأربعة holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 201 and 82 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of الفصول الأربعة's written reviews are positive against 70% of Rain Maps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
