MeadoWatch uses a Community Science approach, and volunteers are essential to the success of our program. Every summer, participants are encouraged to visit trails to record wildflower phenology (the timing of flowering, fruiting and seed production) of some of the most beautiful alpine wildflowers in the world. We use this information to understand which climatic factors trigger flowering and seed production, and how climate change may alter the the timing of seed production. Currently, we are live with two trails at Mt. Rainier National Park

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MeadoWatch at 67% against WASH's 8%. MeadoWatch also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). WASH's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (959 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WASH holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WASH has 959 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of MeadoWatch's written reviews are positive against 8% of WASH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MeadoWatch ships an update every 3 weeks, WASH every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
