User Reviews

WKRC WX is widely praised for accurate, location-aware forecasts, ease of use, reliable alerts, and detailed map-based information. However, reviews coalesce around post-update UI clutter and reduced radar visibility, plus slower startup/performance. Widget issues are noted by a few, and overall it remains a strong Cincinnati-area weather app with room for UI, feature accessibility, and performance improvements.

Pros

Accurate and reliable weather forecasts.
Location-based accuracy; follows your location for precise local weather.
Easy to use and user-friendly interface.
Timely alerts and storm tracking.
Detailed weather information with a day-by-day breakdown and a live map.

Cons

Negative sentiment about updates: cluttered UI and loss/obscuring of the past-hour radar.
Slow startup and slower app performance.

Recent reviews

I have been a fan of Local 12 weather for years now and love that I have this app on my phone. When the weather is not good I pay attention to what the metrologists have to say about it. I live in Maysville and can depend on the accuracy of the weather for my area.
