Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Taiwan Weather at 4.4 against SG Weather's 3.5. Taiwan Weather also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). SG Weather's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SG Weather sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Taiwan Weather asks for nothing beyond the download.
Taiwan Weather holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taiwan Weather has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of SG Weather's written reviews are positive against 47% of Taiwan Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SG Weather ships an update every 5 weeks, Taiwan Weather every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
