# mySunMoon vs BloomSky Weather

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.

Both are free to download. mySunMoon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BloomSky Weather asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
