Constantly fails to show videos, freezes, crashes, and in some cases fails to even open. Once in, you’ll find 9 ads on a page for one single story and only 5 mins to legitimate stories by this news organization. I gave it one star only because you can’t give 0 stars. ### 1/5 — Really-Really dislike the Videos *2020-12-11* Message to KRQE, am I the only one? The video story doesn’t have to accompany the written story, does it? When I use the app, the ad plays & then the story. I turn off the sound real quickly so I won’t disturb others around me. Sometimes I exit out app. Saying this: no video, reading is ok. Yep, I can read, I used to buy newspapers plus I know cursive. I’ll go elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Vids *2020-10-16* When I click on a story I want to read, the video starts playing automatically and there’s no stopping the video unless you turn it down, which is not fun every time I want to READ a story instead of watching it on a replay every time. ### 1/5 — Typical Liberal False News *2020-10-15, version 40.35.570056954* Typical Liberal False News ### 2/5 — Auto play *2020-10-09, version 40.35.570056954* Stop auto playing videos. Kind of annoying To you tech guru’s. Yes, I went to settings and turned auto play off. App settings as well. ### 2/5 — Does not obey Apple silent *2020-08-26* Have the side switch on side of iPhone to instruct for no sound. After going to this app, the video starts to play automatically, which is annoying by itself, but then the video sound starts blaring. Terrible feature. Another terrible feature is there doesn’t seem to be any new news. App front page updated once a week it seems like it. ### 2/5 — Freezes all the time *2020-08-15, version 40.35.470055363* News stories are ok and updated fairly well. However the app crashes all the time ### 2/5 — Love KRQE but HATE the App! *2020-07-11, version 40.35.420055136* Crashes CONSTANTLY and frustrates me SO MUCH because I want to read articles and move between pages on the app- but sometimes I’m lucky to spend one minute on the app. Forces me to give up and go to the KRQE web page. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — To many commercials *2020-06-30, version 40.35.340053668* To many adds. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled due to ad splash screen at startup annoyance *2020-04-14* Fairly recently tried this app, but found it too annoying to keep. Installed after a few days and instead kept the KOB-TV app The problem is: the app developer has inserted a splash screen ad that requires a “swipe up to dismiss.” Any iPhone user will tell you that swiping up on the screen pulls up the iOS utilities menu, so the ad can’t be dismissed. Clearly the developer has NEVER tested his/her app with an iPhone emulator to recognize this. I understand the need to pay for the app and business through advertising, but if KRQE is only providing an un-dismissible ad and not providing access to news, then who is going to want to use the application? ### 1/5 — Turn off auto play *2020-04-06* Please turn off auto play when opening a story. When in public or around my wife sleeping it just turns on and is most annoying. If not done I’ll delete the app and get my news from someone else as there are other local news stations. ### 2/5 — Good app. Offensive ads *2020-03-08, version 40.35.220051916* This is a good app with good local news. However, they partner with ad agencies that promulgate offensive ads that stoke fear, disinformation, and divisiveness. For this reason, I am deleting this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Krqe app *2026-08-05, version 509.0.0* Because of here merger… we have to search for the option to watch the daily local news… this app loads with no sound… no option to turn on sound… Siri says its as loud as it gets… however… there is nothing. ### 1/5 — KRQE is owned by Nextstar *2025-09-19, version 501.0.0* Nexstar supports fascism ### 1/5 — New update a disaster *2024-02-06, version 500.1.1* Can no longer open app - it hangs on a screen telling me to accept alerts, which I absolutely don’t want. Deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Biased news with no comment sections for discussion *2023-01-21* Heavily biased news written by extreme leftists who try to control the media and information narrative for the entire state. ABQ/Santa Fe and surrounding areas have the worst crime stats and yet try to act like they are progressive and leading the way of the future. The rest of the state makes the money while these areas house all the zombie criminal people. They have a big population/vote but very few actually contribute tangible services/products to the states livelihood. The problem with this news service and organization is that they are completely left leaning. They are not open to anything but their own views. These sites use to have comment sections but after so many years of reader’s debunking , challenging, discussing and destroying the news stories, the outlets removed the comment sections and now readers can’t discuss the subject matter! Which is limiting free speech and challenges to the information being reported. Not a place to visit to discuss the topics with other readers because they don’t want you to poke holes in their stories. ### 1/5 — Horrible horrible *2022-06-30, version 41.10.0* No way to stop a video, even after is finished still plays adds. Very glitchy when it does work.How can this app be rated so high virtually all reviews are 3 stars or less. ### 1/5 — Does not load live news at 10 *2022-03-18, version 41.9.0* Disappointing ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2021-10-09, version 41.6.0* Doesn’t scroll smoothly, I’m unable to quickly enable sound on videos. Pretty disappointing news app ### 1/5 — Constant problems *2021-08-03, version 41.3.1* My only all out of nearly 100 that continues to give problems. Very amateur ### 1/5 — Slow and frustrating *2021-06-07* This app is just awful. It takes forever to load and then a full screen ad in your face. Then news articles are in video where you must watch a commercial first. Look at your competitors site and see good ones! Deleting. ### 1/5 — Was good *2021-04-06, version 41.0.3* New update made the app super confusing. Will be deleting ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app. *2024-03-27* I decided to give this app another shot. They have changed it completely since I used it last and eliminated the previous deal breaker ### 5/5 — Review *2021-07-06, version 41.2.1* Great reporting of news, guys. Very professional, you dress very professionally and good looking female reporters. God bless you and the entire staff. ### 5/5 — Meteorologists on KRQE *2021-01-19, version 40.35.570056954* The meteorologists on KRQE I like best are Mark Ronchetti and Erica Meyer. They are professional and fun to listen to. Good work! And welcome back, Mark. ### 5/5 — Weather *2021-01-19, version 40.35.570056954* So glad to see Mark Ronchetti is back! ### 5/5 — KRQE Albuquerque *2021-01-16, version 40.35.570056954* Keep up the good work!!!!! Love ❤️ your station! ### 5/5 — Good info *2020-06-29* Thank you for the up to date news. I check my county and home town for the increase of the virus. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-01-02, version 40.34.260049983* Great ### 5/5 — Real Reliable News *2019-09-12* Love it. Believe it. Need it. You guys are an amazing source of news. Thank God Crystal didn’t leave us!! I am not enjoying the changes this year with Kristan C. leaving or loosing Adam A. They were amazing and your replacements are young and struggle on occasion but the news and weather are still on spot. I like that you hired young and I am sure they will not let any of us down. I am excited for their future and getting used to their adorable faces. I want to thank you all for your ability to show up and deliver the news honestly. I feel I know what is going on and an honest version and I have you to thank for that! Please with the new changes coming for our state I’d like to ask that you start referring to Marijuana as cannabis. I am a holistic healer and Marijuana is a slang term referenced in the mind as deviant. You’ll look much better, more professional, and accepting of its medical value if you use proper terminology. Keep up the great work and again Thank you! ### 5/5 — A+ *2019-09-01, version 40.33.530045673* Great help. Thank you. ### 5/5 — KRQE *2019-08-23, version 40.33.530045673* I really get a kick out of the wonderful staff you have.....keep up up the great job... I love watching. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
