Verdict

The call

ClassicWeather and Weather ++++ both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of ClassicWeather's written reviews are positive against 37% of Weather ++++'s. ClassicWeather also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 190). Weather ++++'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
