Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Thermo at 4.6 against Position Weather Tools's 3.8. Thermo also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 53%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Position Weather Tools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
