### 5/5 — KOB is great

*2026-07-29, version 7.0*

Enjoy KOB the best for news!

### 1/5 — Ads constantly

*2026-07-18, version 7.0*

Constant ads when you open the app and then when you go to a post it shows a another ad EVERY time and you have to wait for it to give you an option to skip

### 1/5 — Now they show ads for illegal sports gambling

*2026-06-08, version 7.0*

I understand the need to show ads. However, you are an app for a New Mexico News station. Sports gambling is illegal in New Mexico outside of tribal lands. So why show ads for a service that is illegal? That makes me question the ethics of the rest of your operation.

### 1/5 — Just ads

*2026-05-10, version 7.0*

News stream plays for a few minutes the stops. Just ads repeating when starting to play...boycott those advertisers.

### 5/5 — Necrologue department

*2026-02-14, version 7.0*

I would love to report that my little David Neil Kinkead aka “Kneiling Dragonfly “
has finally been found, but that would be a lie or wishful thinking suppose it's time to send out an invitation to 
The plan is a funerals service for him. 

HE not SHE was born in Dallas TX ON 5/14/68 to parents Elias Franklin and Dianna Mae Kidd Kinkead formerly of Houston, TX. 

He was baptized at the Presbyterian Church in IrvingTex in August of that same year. 
David was a very intelligent little boy who loved music
I need volunteers from his circle of friends in the music scene in Abq to volunteer to be pallbearers.

### 1/5 — Not ok with video auto play

*2025-12-06, version 7.0*

Yes, I have the auto play option disabled. So why does this app sometimes hack my screen and start playing a video that I sometimes can and can’t close? If I wanted to watch the video, I’d hit play! Fix the bugs!
Update: nothing has changed after over a year. Fix the bugs! It’s a bad sign for an app developer when they can’t fix this kind of bug. That just tells me that Hubbard Broadcasting has no ethics

### 3/5 — Weather

*2025-10-02, version 6.2*

KOB’s weather on their Android app was my favorite of the local news. For some reason, the weather is glitchy on the iPhone version of the app.

### 3/5 — Local person

*2025-09-15, version 6.2*

I would to hear about local events before they happen, not after!

### 1/5 — Gone to the dark side

*2025-09-14, version 6.2*

As  lifelong NM resident, I have been a KOB news follower for as long as I can recall, perhaps 60 years…
 The reporting as of late has tilted to the left just as most media has. What happened to unbiased reporting and wholesome content? 
 Sad…

### 1/5 — Not ok with video auto play

*2025-02-14, version 6.1*

Yes, I have the auto play option disabled. So why does this app sometimes hack my screen and start playing a video that I sometimes can and can’t close? If I wanted to watch the video, I’d hit play! Fix the bugs!
