Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BloomSky Weather at none against mySunMoon's 1. BloomSky Weather also leads on ratings volume (110 vs 1) and rating (2.2 vs 2.0). mySunMoon's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BloomSky Weather holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BloomSky Weather has 110 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of mySunMoon's written reviews are positive against 29% of BloomSky Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

mySunMoon ships an update every 3 months, BloomSky Weather every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
