Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meteo at 82% against HRTMeteo's 40%. Meteo also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). HRTMeteo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HRTMeteo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meteo has 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Meteo's written reviews are positive against 40% of HRTMeteo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Meteo ships an update fortnightly, HRTMeteo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
