Mistral Weather vs SkyForge

Mistral Weather is a modern weather app for iPhone and iPad. Open it and see current conditions, hour-by-hour and 7-day forecast, sun and moon times, humidity, UV, wind, and pressure at a glance. A layered weather map shows animated precipitation radar, temperature, and wind. "On This Day" surfaces historical weather for today's date from the last 40+ years — a fun way to see how today stacks up. All forecast data comes from Open-Meteo, and no account or sign-in is required. Launch the app and grant location access to get a localized forecast, or skip it and use the search to add any place on Earth. Save multiple locations and switch between them with a tap. Pick your favorite layer on the map — temperature, radar, or wind — and watch weather systems move in real time. Home Screen widgets show the current forecast in small, medium, and large sizes, plus an "On This Day" widget in small and medium. Background refresh keeps widget data current without draining battery. Customize units (°F / °C, mph / km/h), adjust map defaults, and manage Remove Ads and Mistral Weather AI from Settings. Upgrade to Mistral Weather AI for a natural-language summary of today's forecast on the main Weather tab. One quick read covers what's happening right now, what's coming in the next few hours, and what to wear or plan for — refreshed each hour, powered by OpenAI behind our server. Subscribers also have banner ads removed automatically. The subscription is $6.99/month or $59.99/year, which renews until canceled in Settings. All forecasts, locations, and preferences are stored on your device. Coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo only when fetching weather; nothing else is transmitted. The app is free with a single banner ad at the bottom of the main surfaces — purchase Remove Ads for a one-time fee to remove it permanently, or let a Mistral Weather AI subscription remove ads automatically while it's active. Mistral Weather uses Google AdMob and asks for App Tracking Transparency so ads can be personalized; declining is fully supported. Mistral Weather is an independent project and is not affiliated with Open-Meteo, Apple, or Google.

SkyForge makes the weather radar the whole app — a full-screen, buttery-smooth animated map is your home screen, and everything else floats cleanly on top. RADAR THAT MOVES • Smooth, motion-interpolated radar: the past two hours, then up to an hour of forecast radar where it's available • 3D storms — heavy rain rises off the map as shaded clouds that cast shadows • Live wind streams — thousands of moving particles showing direction and speed • Temperature overlay with a color-graded legend • Show precipitation, temperature and wind together • Fronts & pressure from NOAA's surface analysis • Zoom out far enough and the map becomes a spinning 3D globe, colored with NASA satellite land cover A FORECAST WITH DEPTH • 10-day forecast — tap any day to expand a plain-English brief • Interactive charts for every day: temperature, precipitation, UV, wind, humidity, visibility, and pressure — drag to pinpoint any minute • Hourly forecast, current conditions, "feels like", and high/low • Air quality (US AQI), UV index, sunrise & sunset, dew point, and more BUILT FOR WHERE YOU ARE • Automatic radar and forecast for your current location • Save cities and reorder your list with a long-press • Dark and light map themes that remember your choice SEVERE WEATHER • Live watches, warnings, and advisories from the US National Weather Service, right at the top of your screen when they matter HONEST BY DESIGN • 100% free and ad-free • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • Your location is used only to fetch weather — never stored or sold Weather data from Open-Meteo, LibreWXR, RainViewer, NOAA / National Weather Service, NASA GIBS, Iowa State Mesonet, and OpenWeatherMap.
