# Weather & Radar vs Weather Clock Widget

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Weather & Radar at 306K against Weather Clock Widget's 2.5K. Weather & Radar also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). Weather Clock Widget's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weather & Radar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Weather Clock Widget sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Weather & Radar against 4.6 for Weather Clock Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather & Radar has 306K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Weather & Radar's written reviews are positive against 89% of Weather Clock Widget's.

Weather & Radar ships an update every 2 weeks, Weather Clock Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
