QWeather downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
74/100
faster than 88% of Weather apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about QWeather
From the 41 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users praise the app's clean interface and lack of ads but criticize significant accuracy issues with rain and temperature forecasts. Frequent bugs regarding missing widgets, subscription status resets, and forced location permissions are also major pain points.
Mixed but leaning positive (56% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for few ads. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
