KSBY Microclimate Weather holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KSBY Microclimate Weather has 1.7K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of KYTX Radar's written reviews are positive against 42% of KSBY Microclimate Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KYTX Radar ships an update every 4 months, KSBY Microclimate Weather every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
