1,644 ads from 12 weather apps in the Meta Ad Library, 491 running now.
12 weather apps have 1,644 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 491 of those were running when we read it on October 23, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Weather app ads fight on trust and urgency, so they claim the top spot, name radar, storm tracking and live alerts, and frame the download as staying prepared, since nobody installs a forecast they suspect is wrong.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

Every creative, with its copy, format and run length
A screen recording of the core moment, the budget balancing, the match, the level cleared, beats a list of features. One outcome per ad.
The first line names a frustration the viewer already has. The app is the answer in the second line, not the first.
Installs are cheap; users who come back are not. Send Meta your in-app events, trial starts or purchases, and optimize toward those. "Install now" is the most used button here.
App advertisers who win run many variations at once and let spend find the winner. Vary the hook, the first frame and the person on screen before you vary the audience.
The median weather app ad here stayed up 14 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
This page shows 72 creatives. Meta lists 1,644 for these advertisers, and 491 are running right now. Sprites' proprietary marketing agent reads every weather app ad running now, writes ads for your app in the styles that work, and runs them on Meta, Google and TikTok once you approve.
