Cane allows you to pull up past hurricanes and replay them in animated reproductions of the storm. This app gives you options unlike any other tracker out there! The 2 most incredible features that Cane provides are: 1) The ability to pull up past storms side by side with other storms 2) The ability to fly through a hurricane in an animation as if you were flying in an airplane along the actual hurricane path. This animation is so stunning that it has to be seen to be believed! Cane leverages all of the data available from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) and other sources to give you as much information as possible at your fingertips. Cane keeps you up-to-date with the latest information on active hurricanes from the NHC. Cane gives you the full history of each storm, along with its current details and projected track.

See your whole day's weather in one glance. Nimbus lays the day out as a 24-hour clock. Midnight at the top, noon at the bottom, every hour in a fixed place. Rain, temperature, clouds, wind, UV, humidity, and tide each get their own ring. Heavy morning rain is a dense arc at 8 o'clock. A clear afternoon is open space. No hourly list. No scrolling. One picture. The clock tells you when. Nimbus also knows where. Your day isn't spent in one place. It moves from home, through your commute, to work, and back. The forecast moves with it. - Weather along your route, matched to where you'll be at each point of your commute. Not the forecast at home, guessed at from your driveway. - Rain only when radar confirms it. Never a forecast percentage dressed up as fact. - Your whole day mapped home → commute → work → commute → home, in one strip. - Drag to scrub any hour for exact figures. - Severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are part of Nimbus+, $0.99/month. Everything else is free. No account. No tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cane App at none against Nimbus's 1. Cane App also leads on iOS requirement (14.1 vs 26.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
