Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Weather + Radar & Rain Alerts at every 3 days against Weather ۬'s every 5 weeks. Weather ۬'s advantage is ratings volume (272K vs 31K) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Weather ۬ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Weather + Radar & Rain Alerts sells 18 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 — 4.5 for Weather ۬ against 4.6 for Weather + Radar & Rain Alerts. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather ۬ has 272K ratings behind it against 31K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Weather ۬'s written reviews are positive against 62% of Weather + Radar & Rain Alerts's.
Weather ۬ ships an update every 5 weeks, Weather + Radar & Rain Alerts every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
