KOKH WX app review: dedicated weather forecasting for residents of Oklahoma

Introduction

What we have here is a fully-featured weather forecasting app, designed to provide Oklahoma residents with detailed reporting over a 10-day timeframe across a few different visual formats, complete with Push notifications to warn you of impending severe weather conditions.

This is a run-of-the-mill weather app which runs along a very similar vein to many comparable developments within the App Store.

While the developer certainly earns no points for originality, I’m reminded time and time again of the importance of following a tried and tested formula. Mama always said “don’t fix what ain’t broke,” and the old adage rings no truer than with an app like KOKH WX.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Oklahoma

The Map section of KOKH WX doubles up as its main home page, and this is the first thing you’ll see when you first start up the app.

I would recommend that you begin by tapping the house icon in the top right-hand corner of the Map section. This will take you to the Locations section where you can use your device’s integrated GPS in order to immediately begin receiving weather forecasts specific to your local area.

You’ll also notice that you can save multiple locations within this feature. I think this is ideal for those of you who want to keep an eye on your daily work commute, or perhaps for those of you who are watching out for more vulnerable relatives who live out of town.

 

View 10 Days of Weather Forecasts

You’ll get most of your weather forecasting in the 10 Day and Hourly sections. These provide a breakdown of weather conditions such as high and low temperatures, chance of precipitation, humidity, and even things like UV Index, sunrise and sunset times, and wind speed and direction.

If you’re unfortunate enough to live in an area that is particularly susceptible to, shall we say, less-than-ideal weather conditions, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can set up Push notifications within the Alerts section of the app.

Combining this with the multiple locations that you can save really enables you to watch out for multiple areas, while always staying one step ahead of any storms, cyclones, tornadoes, and flash floods which might be headed in your direction.
