WeatherGraph is a simple but powerful weather app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch which displays weather forecasts in the United States from the National Weather Service (NWS) in an easy to read graphical format. WeatherGraph uses the highest quality weather data available - the same forecast and observations used by academic researchers and meteorologists. WeatherGraph features 24 hours of observations and 7 days of forecasts for the locations you choose and has the ability to display record highs and lows for each weather station you follow. WeatherGraph also has Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets showing a graph of upcoming weather conditions and an Apple Watch app with complications showing the highs and lows and rain probability for the next 2 days. Due to the fact that all data comes from NWS/NOAA, this app will only provide weather forecasts for the United States of America.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WeatherGraph at 4.3 against JWeatherWatch's 3.2. WeatherGraph also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 36%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. WeatherGraph sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and JWeatherWatch sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WeatherGraph holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeatherGraph has 103 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of WeatherGraph's written reviews are positive against 36% of JWeatherWatch's.
WeatherGraph ships an update fortnightly, JWeatherWatch every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
