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! ### 3/5 — Update frustration *2024-07-20, version 6.0* The new update is so annoying with the auto playing video on the homepage! ### 2/5 — KOB *2024-02-10, version 5.03.190061430* To whom it may concern, I am a senior citizen that lives in truth or consequences, New Mexico, and I have antenna because I can’t afford cable. I have to point my antenna towards mud mountain. I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but all the channel fours have been going in and out for a week or two . I’ll just get into a program and the volume will go in and out. I wish you could fix it for us over here, thank you so much for listening.

I realize that your station has a parent company that is very biased towards certain information, however, as a local subsidiary, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to report the truth to your customers, even though it doesn’t fit the narrative of your parent organization. Shame on ALL OF YOU. If not for Steve Stuckers weather forecast, I would delete this app from my phone, as I have already deleted your station from my tv line up. This is why your parent organization is getting STOMPED into the ground by FOX. At least FOX reports the truth a majority of the time. ### 2/5 — biased coverage *2022-12-15, version 4.37.090060021* Your newscasters are judgmental, feels like a Fox News station. Report the news and keep your personal feelings/beliefs, eye rolling, and disapproving sighs off the air. ### 4/5 — Terrible app *2022-10-10, version 4.37.090059933* Why take the time to write a story that thousands of people will read and not use correct grammar and spelling? Your writing reads like a 3rd grader wrote it!! In addition please practice good basic journalism..who, what, where, when and why. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-04-05, version 4.35.740059526* I like the reporting good information ### 2/5 — Use to like *2022-01-19, version 4.35.740059526* Is it possible to turn off all the covid updates? I don’t need to see those daily. ### 5/5 — Coverage of Local News *2022-01-03, version 4.35.740059526* The most reliable local news coverage. ### 4/5 — Review *2021-12-07, version 4.35.740059526* Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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! ### 1/5 — Best state-wide newscast *2023-06-06, version 5.01.100060346* I’ve been watching the newscast for TEN minutes and all I’ve seen are commercials, some of them several times!!! What’s going on?!! ### 1/5 — Ads horrendous *2023-01-03, version 4.37.090060021* Watch 10 minutes of ads to watch couple minutes of news then back to more ads don’t get this to watch the news if you missed it. ### 1/5 — Democratic garbage *2022-06-30, version 4.35.740059526* Channel 4 news is pure democratic garbage with buy-in from gov lujan. People we need to get Lujan out of office we need to elect a Republican for the state of New Mexico that Actually has a brain instead of someone that is picking on churches and trying to sue churches dueing the pandemic, we need strong Republican leader for new mexico. Together we can turn New Mexico from blue to red! ### 1/5 — Poor app *2021-11-25, version 4.35.740059526* Constantly re loading, incessantly having to start over while trying to read news. Such a problem, I can’t even use your app to keep up to date. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — KOB is great *2026-07-29, version 7.0* Enjoy KOB the best for news! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Retired Educator and Retired military *2024-04-20, version 5.03.190061430* I enjoy your all around news, national , state, and local news with a excellent sports coverage. Keep it up newscasters. 🇺🇸👨🏻‍🦳 ### 5/5 — Comprehensive reporting *2024-02-15, version 5.03.190061430* Reporters and anchors know NM and the multicultural make up of our state. ### 5/5 — Best weather *2024-01-10, version 5.03.190061430* Eddy rocks ### 5/5 — HAPPY VEIWER *2023-10-24, version 5.03.180061313* I love this KOB app. I can open the site anywhere,, Watch the news I missed in the morning.
