Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Weather #1 Interactive Widgets at weekly against NextWeather's every 3 weeks. Weather #1 Interactive Widgets also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 59%) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 797). NextWeather's advantage is iOS requirement (9.3 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NextWeather holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather #1 Interactive Widgets has 7.3K ratings behind it against 797, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Weather #1 Interactive Widgets's written reviews are positive against 59% of NextWeather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Weather #1 Interactive Widgets ships an update weekly, NextWeather every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
