# Simple Sunrise vs Whethr

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Sunrise at 71% against Whethr's 0%. Simple Sunrise also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). Whethr's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Sunrise sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whethr asks for nothing beyond the download.

Whethr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Sunrise has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Simple Sunrise's written reviews are positive against 0% of Whethr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple Sunrise ships an update every 6 months, Whethr every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
