User Reviews

WKRC WX is praised for ease of use, trusted local coverage, accurate forecasts, and useful alerts, especially for severe weather and travel. Common complaints center on radar reliability and performance (inaccuracy, glitches, overlay blocking alerts), app stability (crashes/loading issues), intrusive ads, and mismatches with TV forecasts. Some users note feature regressions after updates. Overall sentiment is positive about content, but reliability and UX need attention.

Pros

Easy to navigate and user-friendly interface.
Accurate, reliable local weather information for Cincinnati.
Timely severe weather alerts and notifications.
Travel-friendly: view weather across locations.
Trusted WKRC TV team and coverage.

Cons

Radar is buggy and often inaccurate; overlay can obscure alerts.
Frequent crashes and loading issues; blank screens on occasion.
Ads and commercials interfere with use (long ads, blocking rotation).
Weather data sometimes doesn't match TV forecasts (hourly/daily).
Time-window feature limitations (24-hour radar not functioning as expected).

I have double triple checked that I have the severe weather notifications on but I am in my home, hearing the sirens, watching channel12 on tv report about the tornado warning for my county and the app on my phone has not alerted me. This app is not reliable for staying safe in severe weather. I have an old phone connected to my WiFi and the different weather app on that phone alerted me to the tornado warnings. Two so far today. Earlier I was out (it’s in “follow me” mode) and the sirens went off and I got notified from a police dept text that there was a tornado warning for the county I was in. My WKRC weather app never showed any notification about it. Not cool, channel 12. Very not cool.

Your new interactive map on the updated app is awful! It moves way too fast, and is hard to track storms. I also don’t like how you can’t have storm alerts on the map while tracking a storm. Go back to the old map.
