Weather Light is two apps in one: the weather where you are, and a flashlight. Tap the sun and the flashlight turns on. Drag a cloud over the sun and the light strobes. That is the trick people loved in 2013, and it is still here. THE WEATHER Weather from Apple Weather, the same data as the built-in Weather app: the temperature now, how it feels, the next 24 hours, the next 10 days, wind, humidity, pressure, UV, sunrise and sunset. Severe weather alerts from your local authority, when there are any. RAIN RADAR Where it is raining right now and where it will in the next two hours, as a loop over the map around you. WIDGET AND LOCK SCREEN A home screen widget with the temperature and the next hours, and, if you want it, the weather on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. THE FLASHLIGHT The camera flash, one tap away, in an app you open anyway. It turns off when you leave the app so it never drains the battery by accident. IN YOUR LANGUAGE 26 languages, Celsius or Fahrenheit, light or dark. FREE A small ad pays for the app. The one-time purchase from 2013 that removes it still works, and restores on any of your devices. Your location is used only to fetch the weather and is never stored on any server of the app. Weather data: Apple Weather. Radar: RainViewer.

"MeteoTrend is a clean, reliable weather app for phones and tablets. Get accurate, up-to-date forecasts for your current location or any city worldwide — with the detail you need to plan your day and the week ahead. WEATHER AT A GLANCE Open MeteoTrend to see current temperature, sky conditions, and a scrollable 24-hour hourly forecast. Below that, explore detailed metrics including wind speed and direction, gusts, barometric pressure, humidity, UV index, visibility, precipitation, cloud cover, wave height, water temperature, and geomagnetic activity — all shown with your chosen units. Sun and moon information is displayed when available: sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and current moon phase. PLAN AHEAD Review a multi-day forecast on the home screen. Tap any day to open a detailed view with forecast periods and characteristics — helpful when you need hour-by-hour context, not just daily highs and lows. SEARCH, RECENTS & FAVORITES Search for cities worldwide and open full weather details for any result. Your recent searches are kept for quick return visits. Save locations to favorites, reorder them as you like, and open them anytime from the side menu. LOCATION YOUR WAY Grant location permission during onboarding for forecasts where you are. Prefer not to share location? Search for a city manually, or rely on approximate positioning when supported. MeteoTrend does not require GPS hardware — it works on tablets and devices without built-in GPS, including many Amazon Fire tablets. PERSONALIZED SETTINGS On first launch, set your preferred temperature, pressure, and wind units. Later, open Settings to adjust all unit types (including time, height, precipitation, and distance), change language, and review app information. The UI supports multiple languages and right-to-left layouts where applicable. Pull down on the home screen to refresh and fetch the latest forecast data. DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY USE Navigation is simple: a side drawer provides access to favorites, settings, about, rate, and share. Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are available in-app. Your preferences, favorites, and recent searches are stored locally on your device. WHY METEOTREND? • Current conditions with large, readable temperature display • 24-hour hourly forecast tiles • Rich weather characteristics and sun/moon cards • Multi-day forecast with per-day detail screens • Global city search with flags and live temperatures in results • Favorite locations with drag-to-reorder • Customizable units and multilingual interface • Pull-to-refresh on the home screen • Works on phones and tablets Whether you are checking the forecast before work, planning a trip, or monitoring weather in several cities, MeteoTrend brings current conditions, hourly trends, and extended outlooks together in one straightforward app. Download MeteoTrend and stay informed — wherever you are, and wherever you look."

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MeteoTrend at none against Weather Light's 1. MeteoTrend also leads on ads (none vs shown). Weather Light's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
