Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Taiwan Weather at none against DPIP's 4. Taiwan Weather also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 8). DPIP's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 49%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
