Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Celsius 2 at none against Foreca Weather & Radar's shown. Celsius 2 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.4). Foreca Weather & Radar's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (5K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Foreca Weather & Radar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.59 per 3 months and Celsius 2 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Celsius 2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Foreca Weather & Radar has 5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Foreca Weather & Radar's written reviews are positive against 70% of Celsius 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Foreca Weather & Radar ships an update every 11 days, Celsius 2 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
