ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myENV holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myENV has 305 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 34% of myENV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SG Weather ships an update every 5 weeks, myENV monthly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
