# WeatherSTEM vs Hokie Ready

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hokie Ready at 92% against WeatherSTEM's 32%. Hokie Ready also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). WeatherSTEM's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

WeatherSTEM holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of WeatherSTEM's written reviews are positive against 92% of Hokie Ready's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
