So here's my take on the KOAT Action 7 News and Weather app. I've tested a bunch of local news apps and this one's pretty solid. The live video streams and weather radar are the standout features in my opinion. It's easy to use and the info is always up-to-date. But the ads can get a little intrusive and the overall design is a bit basic. Still, if you need a go-to source for Albuquerque news and weather, this is a pretty good option.

Description

Been using the KOAT Action 7 News and Weather app for a couple months now. It’s basically a local news and weather app for Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pretty solid if you’re into keeping up with what’s going on in your city.

Here’s what you can do: you can get push alerts for breaking news, watch live news streams, and even submit your own news tips and photos. There’s also an interactive weather radar that lets you see storms approaching. And it’s got the usual 7-day forecasts too. Took me a while to figure out all the features but they’re pretty useful.

Look, if you live in the Albuquerque area and want a convenient way to stay on top of local news and weather, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
