Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Weather at none against iWeather's shown. Tiny Weather also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). iWeather's advantage is chart position (#176 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
