# Weather⁺ vs Weather Clock Widget

Weather⁺ and Weather Clock Widget both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Weather Clock Widget's written reviews are positive against 56% of Weather⁺'s. Weather Clock Widget also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Weather⁺'s advantage is ratings volume (145K vs 2.5K) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather⁺ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Weather Clock Widget sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Weather⁺ against 4.6 for Weather Clock Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather⁺ has 145K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Weather⁺'s written reviews are positive against 89% of Weather Clock Widget's.

Weather⁺ ships an update every 5 weeks, Weather Clock Widget every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
