Verdict
Snow and iGetwind both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of iGetwind's written reviews are positive against 47% of Snow's. iGetwind also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Snow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
