Honk! Weather Goose is dressed for all types of weather. Raincoat? Grab an umbrella. Scarf? It's cold out there. In a pinch, just look at how the goose is dressed. Weather Goose is designed to give you the most information in the least amount of time. One glance tells you what to wear. Look a little closer and there's a lot more going on. SEE RAIN COMING Rain shows up before it gets to you: which way it's heading, how hard it'll fall, and about when it'll reach you. Turn on rain alerts and the goose will give you a heads up. YOUR COMMUTE Tell the goose how you get around (walking, biking, driving or transit) and it'll let you know when the weather might get in your way, with a Live Activity on your lock screen for the trip. THE GOOSEDEX There isn't just one goose. Dozens of them turn up depending on the weather, the time of day and the time of year. Some come to you if you're patient. Others only show up somewhere, or sometime, you'll have to go looking for. Collect them in the Goosedex and share your favorites with friends. WIDGETS AND SIRI Put the goose on your home screen, along with hourly charts and the daily forecast, or keep current conditions on your lock screen. Ask Siri for a Weather Goose rain check without opening the app. ALL THE DETAILS Hourly and daily forecasts, weather alerts, how much daylight you're getting, a look back at the past 10 days, and a running record of how the forecast has actually done. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your location is only sent to Apple, to get your forecast and the name of the place you're in. It goes nowhere else.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather Goose at 4.9 against Anemometer's 4.5. Weather Goose also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). Anemometer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Anemometer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Weather Goose sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Weather Goose holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Goose has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Anemometer's written reviews are positive against 96% of Weather Goose's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Anemometer ships an update every 5 days, Weather Goose every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
