Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: EverythingWeather at Free against Where Now!'s $0.99. EverythingWeather also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 2) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). Where Now!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
