Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: YoWindow Weather at 85% against 河川カメラ's 24%. YoWindow Weather also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). 河川カメラ's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7).

河川カメラ is free to download; YoWindow Weather costs $0.99 up front. 河川カメラ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. YoWindow Weather asks for nothing beyond the download.
河川カメラ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YoWindow Weather has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of YoWindow Weather's written reviews are positive against 24% of 河川カメラ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
YoWindow Weather ships an update monthly, 河川カメラ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
