Users find the KOAT Action 7 News and Weather app helpful for regional updates but criticize persistent annoying notifications, outdated news, and automatic video ads. The weather radar is limited and the app lacks critical features like dark mode and landscape support. Editing errors and poor communication about updates detract from the experience, while repetitive ads disrupt usage. Overall, users appreciate the content but are frustrated by app functionality and maintenance issues.

Pros

Provides helpful updates on regional news and weather.
App combines news and weather information in one place.
Good for users who cannot watch news at scheduled TV times.

Cons

Persistent and unwanted notifications that cannot be fully disabled.
Lack of app updates addressing user concerns, including poor communication of changes.
Poor editing with frequent spelling errors in articles.
Automatic video playback that cannot be paused or stopped, causing annoyance.
Outdated or recycled news stories that are not refreshed timely.
Radar feature is inadequate, lacks detailed functionality and precise location pinpointing.
Excessive and repetitive ads that interrupt user experience.
No dark theme and no support for landscape orientation, making usability poor.

Recent reviews

would be great if the notifications were really breaking news, normal news isn't "breaking". To many notifications for just regular, everyday things going on.

Great news source! They are the first to alert me if news that's happening anywhere in the world, not just NM. But they cover NM and their local area very well, too.
