Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Nectar at Free against Weather Island's $0.99. Nectar also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Weather Island's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
