Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Weather at 4.7 against Icon Weather App's 1.0. Tiny Weather also leads on ratings volume (151 vs 1). Icon Weather App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Weather sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Icon Weather App asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tiny Weather holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Weather has 151 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Icon Weather App's written reviews are positive against 97% of Tiny Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Icon Weather App ships an update daily, Tiny Weather every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
