Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 天气通 at 88% against Panda Weather's 44%. 天气通 also leads on ratings volume (551 vs 56) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Panda Weather's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 天气通 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Panda Weather sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Panda Weather holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 天气通 has 551 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of 天气通's written reviews are positive against 44% of Panda Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
