User Reviews

Users appreciate the KRQE Weather app for its local accuracy and detailed weather info, but many report recurring issues such as delayed updates, frequent video content failures, intrusive ads especially during emergencies, and app stability problems. The radar's lack of movement also limits storm tracking. While trusted by long-time and rural users, these technical problems affect reliability and user experience.

Pros

Provides local and precise weather information useful for small towns in New Mexico.
User interface allows selection of specific weather information like precipitation, storm tracking, and severe weather announcements.
Trusted by long-time users, especially those living in rural New Mexico areas.

Cons

App often fails to update weather information in real time, requiring users to open it to get current conditions.
Videos and news sections frequently do not work; ads play but actual content does not.
The radar does not animate or move, limiting storm tracking ability.
Pop-up ads are intrusive and can delay critical information, especially during severe weather warnings.
App stability issues including crashes and failure to open, leading some users to uninstall.

Wonderful weather for small town NM! Use the radar and it will tell you correct information and precise.

Often doesn't work. It plays the ad videos, but not the weather or news. When it works it's wonderful. Can't quite believe Mark, though, when he's predicting precip: he's very enthusiastic and optimistic about rain and snow.
