But! When it works, it is awesome! Love that it gives the sunrise and sunset times:) Karen ### 4/5 — What I think about it. *2023-03-23, version 5.7.301* It helps me a lot like when there is bad weather it helps a lot! ### 3/5 — Advertising *2023-03-12, version 5.7.301* To much advertising and pop-ups ### 2/5 — Your videos won’t come through. *2022-03-10, version 5.4.940* What’s the deal with an app that doesn’t work? ### 5/5 — pretty good *2022-03-02, version 5.4.940* good in general, few minor improvements but overall it’s good ### 5/5 — Videos take forever to load *2022-01-22, version 5.4.940* I always get weather alerts which is awesome especially during storms but I can rarely get any associated video to load. When I get an alert I end up going to a different site or app to see what is going on. ### 5/5 — Weather I can rely on *2022-01-14, version 5.4.940* During our recent tornadoes and winter storms the WBKO weather app alerted me before other weather apps. The data is always spot on! Don’t have to worry. WBKO weather has our back. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2021-06-27, version 5.3.901* Thank you for not Charging me I live in southern Florida and weather can change instantly and be quite dangerous it’s nice not to have to pay for my security thank you very much ### 5/5 — Kathy *2021-04-08, version 5.2.302* Love to see what kind of weather we are having even if I’m out of state ### 5/5 — Best local weather app *2021-04-08, version 5.2.302* This is one of the best weather apps I've ever had on my iPhone and iPad . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Notifications *2025-08-04, version 5.17.706* The message is usually incomplete. It doesn’t include any helpful information. If I get an alert for a new notification, I expect to see important information that is helpful. I don’t want to turn off notifications as I do want to be informed of severe weather - not that there might be scattered showers tomorrow. ### 1/5 — Not relevant *2024-09-06, version 5.15.417* Since Shane left, this has longer ads than videos. The information just isn’t there anymore! I get more reliable weather information from the iPhone generic weather app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-05-02, version 5.7.301* I liked going to the news and clicking on the weather. Then they decided you had to have the weather app. I downloaded the weather app but it stopped working, I have gotten a blue blank screen for days. I deleted the weather app and now when I click on the weather via the news it takes me to the App Store to fetch it back from the cloud. I guess I need to find another source for weather. ### 1/5 — Works when it wants to *2023-03-26, version 5.7.301* This app is not that informative at all. They hard post any videos on here about the weather for the day unlike other apps that do. Also some of the alerts don’t come completely threw or show up on the radar. If I could rate lower I would ### 1/5 — Nope *2022-12-27, version 5.7.112* I hate the new platform. To be fair, I’m not a fan of change. ### 1/5 — Got slower *2022-06-02, version 5.5.701* WBKO Weather app used to be better. Now it's slow to load. Plus app switching is also slow--almost as slow as the first run. Please fix!! Please also add a fixed floating day+date header when scrolling up and down through the hourly weather. ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-12-06, version 5.3.901* Needs a lot of improvement ### 2/5 — It was great until the last update *2023-05-13, version 5.8.500* Please go back to the radar selections that you had before this latest update. We had the option then to see the future radar, why did you take away the past radar? This was my go-to weather app until the update. ### 2/5 — Much better before! *2023-02-23, version 5.7.301* I liked the weather forecast system much better before the change. Why did you change it to this system?? Having “first alert” when severe weather was eminent was very useful. ### 2/5 — Weather “predictions “ *2022-07-27, version 5.5.701* I pretty much find that NOT a single weather forecast is dependable and both AccuWeather and Channel 13’s depiction of radar images are pretty much ridiculous and border on fictional. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I don’t write reviews *2024-08-18, version 5.15.417* I don’t write reviews ### 5/5 — Must have *2024-05-23, version 5.14.700* Best local weather app ! ### 5/5 — Recommend *2024-05-12, version 5.14.700* Love the updates and notifications I get when there are storms. ### 5/5 — Weather notices *2023-07-03, version 5.10.500* Thank you for the excellent updates and warnings for our area. I rely on you all the time to help keep my family safe!!!! Mary Jones Railton area, South Barren ### 5/5 — Amazing app!!! *2023-06-29, version 5.10.400* Helps so much with my anxiety to be kept updated so well about incoming storms ### 5/5 — Thank you *2023-05-16, version 5.8.500* Thank you for the detailed map so that we can see where the storms actually are. Your coverage is great! ### 5/5 — Most accurate by far *2022-10-12, version 5.5.701* I fish a lot on top of being outside with my wife and two boys all the time so looking at a forecast is part of my daily schedule. No other apps compare for accuracy. Atleast for the warren/Logan/ surrounding cities around here. ### 5/5 — Best App for ur area! *2022-08-29, version 5.5.701* This is my go to on weather. Only app I truly trust for KY weather conditions! ### 5/5 — Radar *2022-06-24, version 5.5.701* The live radar is showing past content can it be fixed on mobile app ### 5/5 — Weather Review *2022-04-20, version 5.5.701* Great weather report to keep us updated on a daily basis, WBKO Weather Rocks!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
