KOAT Action 7 News App Reviews

We transfer money over €4 billion every month. We enable individual and business accounts to save 4 million Euros on bank transfer fees. Want to send free money abroad or transfer money abroad for free? Free international money transfer!

Organized and has updated info. I like the organization of the app and the news they have is pretty updated.

COVID-19. I have greatly appreciated the live updates that KOAT has provided daily from The White House. Unfortunately, no other news site I subscribe to sends me these alerts. I have great respect for this station and their transparency during this time. Thank you!!!

KOAT app. I generally only listen to the news so this is based on that experience. The ads are the most annoying. They haven’t changed in the year or so I’ve been using this app except for the station ad, which serves my point. we are well into spring and the weather ad is for winter weather. Other than that and maybe it’s a problem with my carrier or device”s” but if I minimize the app and then try to pull it back up (1) the news shuts off so (2) I have to listen to the lead in ad AGAIN! Other than that my issues with it (new broadcast) freezing, repeating and jumping around are likely internet related. BUT in spite of the aggravation I do like having it available

Alerts. Alerts should be saved for actual alert worthy news. Not news that’s been out for a week and non-news worthy articles like resolutions! Thinking of turning off alerts.

Alerts. When the app first started alerts were just ALERTS. Like breaking news or weather, not every day stuff we can watch later on TV. It’s annoying to get UPDATES that aren’t urgent or emergency types. Otherwise, I love the app.

Good station, poor app. I love channel 7 news, but this app is awful. When you tap open a story it automatically starts playing a video with a six second ad in front of it. You can’t turn it off! Sometimes I just want to read the story and not be blasted by some commercial. The KOB4 app doesn’t do this.

Behind the times reporting. Having lived and worked in la, Scottsdale,london(Bournemouth) and cork ire. I use this background as a foundation to evaluate..,,, Most importantly, you have young reporters which MUMBLE and seemingly are not capable to pronounce words with clarity and not in a monotone presentation I am nearing retirement age but have been in the media business for some 30 years since university You need to revamp your venue

Morning crew. We love the whole crew but primarily watch the morning show. They get us going for our day. They are so personable and we feel they are delivering solid information.

Too many ads!!!. I love to keep up the news but every story you hit has an advertisement if they were a little shorter that wouldn’t be bad but I see the same ad every story I look up

To many glitches and mistakes. App almost always sends you back to the top of the page after reading an article. You then must go look for your place again. Lots of articles are not done correctly, if a link is included it hardly works. And omg too many ads!! An ad for every video really?? I like to read and hear about local news. But this app is no bueno for that.

Best News. Love my KOAT, look forward to watching all the news crew, they make you feel a part of the KOAT family by sharing personal stories and making you laugh along with them. And of course there always on top of the latest news.

Ads. Way too many ads during their news shows. Way way to many ads on their web site. I want news, not dang commercials!!!! Also lead ins to news and commercials are way to loud. There is a federal law regarding decibel levels. Very irritating and not needed.

KOAT News App. We are from Las Cruces, New Mexico and our kids live in Albuquerque. We always have enjoyed this app to let us know what is going on throughout the state especially Albuquerque. Thank you Ana and Robert Mangino.

No ability to choose to watch video. My main issue with this app is that every story automatically comes up with video and most of them don’t have the written narrative below the video. There are times when you can’t watch a video due to the location you’re at, maybe in a doctor’s office, in bed with a sleeping spouse, etc. all stories should have the ability to read the complete story rather than watching a video. Because if this I often go to another local network’s site because they have the written story in addition to the video, every time.

Daily news events. I love KOAT and it is my preferred channel especially the news coverage. I love the personalities of each news anchor and the rotation of news casters. The one thing that I wish would change is hearing the same news stories over and over and over and over .....................................again Do we not have enough news to report afresh daily? Thank You

KOAT App Errors. I use your app everyday. You really need to have someone review a lot of these articles before you post. There are misspellings quite frequently. Spell checker is an awesome tool. Also lately I’ve had problems with the live streaming in the AM. I get tired of fighting with it and go to CBS.

News app. To many adds: to read a story you have to scroll so many times just to read the article. Most of the time it will just be a short part of the news!

Weather. As much as I appreciate the morning weather forecast with Eric Green,Silver City is so often blocked from view. Can the graphic be moved to the right a bit to have Silver City visible, or, move Eric to the left a-bit? Other forecasters stand away to the left more. Thank you for considering.

Weird Video Game. Chiming in from Española: since June 2020, halfway through the morning broadcast (our fave), some childish video game cartoon pops up, playing over the news and commercials, causing layers of irritating noise and confusion. That’s when we tune out🙁

Read or hear I. I would like to have the option to either read the article or hear it. not both. Trying to read the article with the background voice is distracting and annoying. Otherwise your pretty good.

What happened to the news?. When I went to school many years ago when it was really school about our one country & how the immigrants came with US FLAGS, we were called a “melting pot” because it did not matter where you came from, you became an AMERICAN! Since then, I have noticed the media, including KOAT, can’t tell the basic news story true or complete. What happened to the “who, what, when, where & how” of reporting? None of you mainstream “journalists” would have passed my high school journalism class! If we are lucky, we may get one of those questions answered, but everything is sound bites, not news!

Good alerts re Albuquerque news. I like the news alerts from KOAT. Not too many, not too few. It is sometimes annoying or worse when serious or sad news is delayed by irrelevant ads.

5 star review. Love KOAT, you’re the BEST. Love your news and all the professional people that work there. You’re the only station I watch as far as the news. Keep it up, you are the bomb!!!

Alerts. Don't give an alert for day-old regular news. When you give an alert it should be about something important. And it should be immediately available on the app.

Keep it news related. Economics necessitates advertising but advertising online as a news report is misleading. Frequently the only thing that’s news will be the addition of still more commercials. We really need something between the present format and watching your live reports. Please.

Radar Map. Accuracy of base map with KOAT NM Weather ap was much better than base map on this site. The old ap is no longer supported. Current map, regardless of radar, is inaccurate with current road names and is not as detailed with roads, etc. I’m very disappointed with this feature.

Just need the Cliff Notes. I mostly ONLY read the notifications. I like having my news in a nutshell because the details are just too overwhelming. I like the balanced reporting, and the weather the most.

Go direct?. So often, I’ll receive an alert about a story or breaking news ... I’ll click on the notification and am taken to the app. And then have to search for the story or breaking news. Bait and switch.

My thoughts. I like the app and the news coverage it supplies me with. One improvement would be to constantly update the home page with new stories, and eliminate some of the ads.

Not there. It would be nice if the alert that pops up on the screen actually had the story when you click on it. I click and just takes to the normal KOAT app homepage junk not what I was looking for

News without ads would be nice. Like to keep up with local news, like this station, but hate the ads that pop up with audio! Sometimes stay away for days because I detest these pop ups!!

Alerts. Most times when you receive alerts on your phone when you tap on them it takes you to an older version of the story and the new alert cannot be found.

Excellent local news. I think KOAT is excellent journalism and does a lot for Albuquerque and New Mexico. I enjoy reading their articles to keep current on local news and events.

The NEWs in your news is old.. Sad to see KOAT has gone to the dark side. 95% ads, 5% old news and then you try to report national news too instead of more local news, and do a poor job of it. ABC has OK national news reporting, but they're even worse about ads about prescription medications that only doctors can prescribe. What are people supposed to do, run to their doctors and ask them about the 20 or so medications they saw advertised on TV. AND, the stupid stories about celebrities, etc., that tap your interest (that never change) and when click them it sends you into a jungle of MORE CRAPPY ADVERTISING for JUNK!!!! Who knows what to believe. It's as if you don't see things happen with your own eyes, you can't believe it's true. It's all so corrupted and fueled by greed, it really is a sad situation. Guess I'll stick with NPR for now. Better journalism, less advertising.

Breaking News Alerts. Every time I get a breaking news alert, sometimes it’s not even breaking news at all. Like there is a fire somewhere in the city, fatal car accident on the freeway, weather or national that will catch my attention. Also there are the stupid ads that on one likes etc. Then the worst one for me is when you push out an alert, I can’t even look at the breaking news! I have to wait 5-10 minutes to see what that breaking news was. So aggravating and frustrated! That’s it for me on the negative parts but other than that the app is fine!

Too many ads!!!!!. I can’t even read a story without being bombarded with ads!! This is ridiculous!!!!

Love KOAT. KOAT has been my go to for many years. My only issue with the app is usually when you get an alert, click on it taking you to the website the alert story is nowhere to be found.

Matt Bugg. I live in California and I feel like I am kept current on everything happening in New Mexico because of your updates. It is important for me to know what is happening there as my elderly mom lives in Albuquerque. Please keep reporting fairly unlike the national networks.

Don’t download if you want to actually read articles.. I hate that I can’t actually read many of the stories. When I click on a headline or story it just gives a sentence or two and sometimes a video link. Every now and then I’m able to read the whole story but not most the time. I love watching the news cast but hate this app because I’m not able to read the stories. Maybe your developers can incorporate the actual story into the app.

Always informative. I enjoy getting my new fast and quick !

Breaking news. I wish there was an additional option that allowed me to select only actual “breaking” news. Many of the news alerts are from stories already broadcast.

Not about local news. Anytime you want to look at anything on the KOAT app you’re overwhelmed with ads. The stories that “look” important are there just to get your attention so you’ll click on an ad or sponsored article. Most of the articles on this app are at most 1 paragraph long, and the “breaking news” is a joke. Immediately after you open the app there are more ads than there is real news. KOAT sold themselves to advertising. They’re just like Facebook, they use your browsing data to create ads. I call this app a “click bait app”; it’s sole purpose is to make money instead of serving the community with honest and important news. KOAT was always my go to for news but they lost me when it became about ads and click bait!

Breaking news isn’t always relevant. Many times “breaking news” stories do not warrant being breaking. Then there is a delay to read the “breaking news.” Additionally the stories are just updated over a period so that they remain vague and the details, added in later, make the story confusing to follow. The best thing is the radar feature. I use it when I’m traveling to see what’s going on in my area.

Sound. It aggravates me beyond words that I can not mute your ads even with my phone on mute! I can’t check your website while Im at work or in any other quiet area. Please fix it!

Reporters read too fast. For those of us getting the news for the first time, the reporters speak so rapidly most of us past the age of 21 cannot understand the rapid fire presentation. Not many items, including the weather, have to be delivered as if this story is an emergency. Please slow down. Thank you.

Frustrated. I’m a very loyal watcher of KOAT but as of late I have not wanted to watch. I feel the new people are rushing through stories. After listening to new afternoon lady I have a feeling of rush and anxiety she talks so fast that it hard to understand her. And on weekends Sasha has also started to rush through stories talking so fast. I’m sad to have to watch other channels just to get the news. I hope KOAT can address this as I would like to continue watching.

App needs help. I get breaking news alerts for things that are not even breaking news or have already been in the news for a few days. One of your competitors actually has a place to choose what type of news you would like to get alerts for. Maybe that’s something you could do too?? Also, some of the news in the app is so old. I prefer KOAT but lately I have been using KRQE App now instead.

Breaking news?. App is very functional but I don’t understand what’s up with so-called breaking news alerts. Breaking news alerts are fluff 95% of the time and actual breaking news the public needs to be informed about, not a peep. Example; several months ago I got a local amber alert on my phone and nothing from KOAT. Yet, a story about a woman skydiving on her 90th birthday is worthy of an alert?

Where’d the story go?. I typically only use this app to get breaking news alerts. However, whenever there is such an alert and I try to click on it to go to the story, there is no such story listed on the feed. More often than not, I cannot find any reference on the main page to the headline in the push notification. Frustrating!

Push notifications that are NOT NEWS. I have all 3 local news stations on my phone and this is the only one that send notifications for any article they write. Some examples would be anything from travel tips to why your dog eats grass. If I wanted to brows every article they wrote I would go to their site or pick up the newspaper. I expected notifications about news. Important things going on like a wildfire or important laws being passed, murder rates and road closures.

Stop sending alerts if you have nothing new to say!. This is so very irritating! Soon I’ll stop looking and then I’ll decide why bother to have you app at all.

Frustration. My frustration is getting a pop-up notification from KOAT about some news worthy event and go to the app when there is nothing about it. I love KOAT but get frustrated using the app. The interactive weather app is great.

Favorite television station. This is my favorite tv station in Albuquerque!!

Very frustrated. Many times when reading one of the stories sentences are not finished. They are interrupted with an obnoxious ad. After the ad there is the beginning of a new sentence. I enjoy KOAT but not the app.

Rated:4+. Good reporting! Thank you. I don’t believe all the nicknames I entered are already taken.😕

Breaking news. I TOTALLY AGREE with the other person. When I try to read the breaking news I can’t do it until later on. I don’t like that!!! But do like everything else

Great app!. Have really enjoyed the app. Great for getting news quick and conveniently.

Old news. Many of the news stories are very old and not updated.

Please make an Apple TV app.. I love this app. Wish it was available to stream on Apple TV.

Blank story listings and crash. Yeah great update. It’s totally unusable now. Story listings are just a blank white page now and trying to find individual stories results in an immediate crash. I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 11.1.

Can’t find news. Almost every time I get a notification I go into app and it’s not in there soo frustrating why send a notification if your app is not up to date ?

Fead up. With all the political crap going on during this election year it’s hard to watch the local channels. But you people on channel 7 and ur opinion on people in the race is all liberal and that is very disgusting to me and others as well keep ur opinion and view to ur self

Partisan. Have always loved your news anchors and they run great debates. The news is Not bi-partisan and doesn’t give a Fair overview.

Loud ads. Content is fine, ads crake over your phone and the volume is way louder than the actual content. Turn your volume down before clicking anything

Happy. I’m Glad I can see the new at my leisure. Thanks

Ok. It’s not the best app but I still keep it. About 2/3 of the stories stay on the site for weeks. Not much is current

Rating “Notifications”. The notifications are not useful as the subjects are too often trivial. Then it serves to dismiss all of them when some are actually pertinent.

What’s the weather like and when will it be warm enough to go out?. The first thing I need to know is when will it be warm enough outside for me to be comfortable walking!

App!. I used your to see what's going on back home !! Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't!! 😳😥

Great Functionality. I love my city of Albuquerque! This Is a great app. I love my state as well. Thank you for the daily news I appreciate it

Update more often. Stories often stay on the app for many days. Needs more frequent updating. I find it useful though and am glad to have it.

Sad. Worst news app ever. I love KOAT but recently downloaded apps to other news stations looking for better sources of news on an app. It's true the ads are ridiculous. I cannot stand the KOAT news app. I won't even waste any more time complaining about why.

Taylor Ranch fan. Great alerts but to many ads before you get to the stories.

Keeping up to date 👍. It’s great to see what’s happening in the state NM where relatives live 👍

Breaking news. Your breaking news does no update ascfat as it notifys me . Too slow

New update. The new update has made this app horrible the news articles are in such big font that it makes it harder to even read the article the app use to be great before this new updated version

News app or ads app. I want would like to see breaking news, but all you see are ads that you can not pause and audio that is not discrete so everyone knows you are on your phone. Sad that they are like this. Going to another app.

Adds. Hate the ads! Would just like to listen to the news cast!

News?. There are news stories that have been on this app for more than 6 months. After a period of time, it is not news anymore. Please update your stories.

Where is the Capital city?. I get everything happening in Albuquerque. I need to know weather and happening here in SF.

Informative and E-Zee. A smooth and easy-to-use app. Headlines and stories updated. Good job KOAT👍

I am update. Since I have this app I know better about New Mexico. I appreciate your information. Great app!

Connects me. I moved from NM 2 years ago but live staying connected via my KOAT app!!

Koat app. I like this app to enable me to get up to the minute news and weather. But one detriment is the ads to put up with to get the news. Don’t like that.

Cutting off info. Like the app but often cuts off a section of the story as you read through items. Very frustrating!

Nice having alerts !!. Yes, having alerts and news is essential. I really like that!

Needs some work. Breaking news means breaking news not something I saw on the newscast yesterday.

News. So what useful if I just want a preview. Not very detailed local news though.

If you don’t have video, it’s not news!. This app relies too much on video. Takes too long to load and there’s always a commercial first before you can get even that.

Need to update .... This news app needs to update their news more often. I am looking at Breaking News header with news that happened 2 days ago. Other local news outlets update their mobile apps hourly.

Too many alerts. While I want to be aware of local emergencies, this app goes off way too often, often for local news that can wait until we tune in to the evening newscast. It can be a nuisance.

Late breaking news. I like that I get a breaking news alert, but when I open the app, I can’t find any information about it. Very frustrating!!

Sensationalism at its worst. I don’t need to be notified for every little thing. Also that commercial that you have to listen to before you can see the story is annoying.

Review on KOAT news app. You repeat the same stuff for more days than necessary. Like the improvements that CYFD have made. Don’t need it after 2 days. Get some new every other day except the virus updates those are exceptional.

The first news app in Albuquerque the has iPhone X support. KOAT is ahead of KRQE and KOB. I just wanted a news app that has iPhone X support.

VanillalavanderLEm. Love the news brakes. I don’t often get to watch the news. They keep me in the loop.

Best North East West and South news.. Best News every time. You guys are a permanent go to on all my devices. God bless you. Thank you for excellent news.

Annoying ads. No longer open alerts because I’m tired of having to listen to a chirpy loud ad To get to a serious new story.

More local news please. As I live out of state and want to keep up on news in New Mexico, I’d like to see more local news on the website. Usually there are headlines and then out of state articles.

Flash for breaking news. I get a flash for breaking news and i click on it and the news is something else.
