# Thermometer vs Live Current Weather Forecast

The clearest difference is rating: Thermometer at 4.4 against Live Current Weather Forecast's 3.2. Thermometer also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 6%) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 208). Live Current Weather Forecast's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thermometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Live Current Weather Forecast sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermometer has 4.4K ratings behind it against 208, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Thermometer's written reviews are positive against 6% of Live Current Weather Forecast's.

Thermometer ships an update every 2 months, Live Current Weather Forecast every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
