# ClassicWeather vs Weather ++++

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.

Both are free to download. ClassicWeather sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 6 months and Weather ++++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for ClassicWeather against 4.7 for Weather ++++. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClassicWeather has 1.2K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of ClassicWeather's written reviews are positive against 37% of Weather ++++'s.

ClassicWeather ships an update every 2 weeks, Weather ++++ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
