I have to turn it off when they put their commercials on because they seem to be twice as loud has their news broadcast.

The regular Newsmax TV was so horrible to watch. It was operated by people that didn't know how to do their jobs. The promise of Newsmax Plus and how wonderful and professional it will be, fooled me in paying for subscription. Another poorly run and edited joke. I only watch President Trump rallies on Newsmax. Other than that this is a worthless joke of an operation. Poor editing, unfinished programs and even half cut commercials. I will never get my money back.

Signed up for this paid my fee, started around November, been nothing but trouble, won't let you in, keeps asking you to pay the fee. Asked customer service about it and their answer was ending my subscription! Hope I get my money back, they need to fire who ever wrote that application, they need to go back to school and learn what they are doing.

Worst App ever, don't bother subscribing the app is down more often than not. Apparently the owners were so eager to start charging its patrons they overlooked testing their f____ up app.

On 01/29/24 Nikki Haley was a guest on American Agenda. I do not understand why Katrina Szish or Bob Brookes did not ask Haley about her democrat donations and the lies she continues to put out there, etc., it was a horrible interview as Newsmax gave Haley a Big Pass! I thought Newsmax was a Red Network! I guess I was wrong!

Newsmax shot themselves in the foot when they went to a pay service virtually overnight. They had a lot of loyal viewers. Most comments I read now are other disappointed viewers that refuse to pay.

Rob Finnerty needs to let guests talk. He can't stop running over them. I believe he thinks he has a better opinion than anyone else.

Love Newsmax generaly but Rob Finnity could let guests speak instead of trying to run his own opinions over them. Alex Kramer should be moved to the weekend. She is a bit too giddy for the morning news.

Love Newsmax and I appreciate their coverage. Really struggling with the streaming service. Every time I turn around I am having an issue. Currently attempted to update my account with a new credit card and every time I click on account the screen goes blank. Guess I will listen to Fox until they get the bugs out.

As usual I'm sitting down to watch Newsmax plus my TV I started and I've got to clear & back on almost every night. Can't they fix this? It seems like there's over 200,000 people and lots of them are having problems like me. But the tech people can fix this. It's not occasionally. This goes on almost every night and I don't want to watch these max on my phone at night. I prefer watching it on my TV and I'm streaming. Can't you guys fix this thing?

Completely biased and dirty channel. For instance I remember one of the reporters saying something along the lines of everybody has some racism in them which is just a sad coping mechanism. In conclusion, horrible channel that basically call you liberal for going against their ideology.

..are otherwise, decent and moral people, still buying Trump's rhetoric?
From the About page "Newsmax has become a go-to place for readers and viewers seeking real news." And yet the recent poll overwhelmingly says that trump is the victim of a political witch hunt.
Trump will go down in history as the greatest snake oil salesman of all time, because of websites like this that perpetuate his fables.

I keep losing the app. Tells me something went wrong. Try to login and tell me password incorrect. So change the password and still wrong password. Very frustrating. I will stop payment if it's not straightened out soon.

I'm using a fire stick on my tv. I constantly need to sign in. The app randomly locks up. Strange video problems on the sign in screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and I'm still having problems. At this point it doesn't work at all.
Update: I reset my fire stick to factory defaults and it's more stable when loading the app. I still get an occasional error message but then I click on clear cache and it loads. I only had these problems on one of three fire sticks.

I watch newsmax for over 5 years, "religiously". I used to enjoy coming home after work and watching Rob Schmidt, Greg Kelly, and Eric Bolling every evening. Ever since they changed to newsmax plus it's been terrible. I instantly bought the monthly subscription and it was so terrible from buffering and not working correctly I would cancel and try to find another new station to watch. After I canceled the first time, 2 months later, I purchased another newsmax Plus subscription to see if they fixed the issues. Nothing was fixed it was the same or worse than before. The first time they did refund my money no problems but I just want to watch original newsmax. So I canceled my second subscription and I guess that's it... One good thing that came of this is I found a station that is just as good if not better the newsmax. A great conservative news station called "Real America's Voice". So I guess I can say thank you newsmax for leading me to a different station.

Watched Newsmax religiously. Overlooked the terrible app. Drops viewers all the time is very unreliable. Now to add insult to injury they want to charge for the mediocre service. I'm out, there are other sources for news. Sorry Newsmax. Bad move on your part.

App sucks. Works about 50% of the time. When starting app it sends you to. -restart app
- empty data
- exit app
Not working. Although there a lot of good host the aggravation to get to view programming is not worth it
I've decided to watch OAN. No problem with app

I've watched newsmax free streaming for a long time, but now I have deleted it from all my devices. I never thought they would follow the swamp and be obligated to cable t.v., direct, it goes to show you that nothing cannot be bought out!

I watched News Max too many commercials and not enough news. It's more opinion based than actual facts. Now they want you to pay for steaming services. I'm going to find anew news outlet

I've really counted on Newsmax. Now they say streaming must sign up to watch regularly broadcast shows. I've gone back to Fox. So very sad that money has taken first seat.

Went to Newsmax when Foxnews went WAY left. Free online streaming was really good, and then the went greedy and started charging...Then Newsmax2 started...What a dumpster fire that is! The commercials were getting to be what seemed like more than the news until N2; and now the commercials seem to take up more time than programming does; even interrupting their news shows. Watched N2 for a week or so; now done altogether. Adios Newsmax!

I am very disappointed that Newsmax went off air live for free and is now $4.99 a month. It was the only dependable news to watch and now there is nothing. I'm not paying for another television app, it's so ridiculous.

Marketed as a free news service and talked down about other news services that charged.
Now they are exactly the same. Hypocrites.
Not about informing public anymore. About the money when people are hurting the most. Typical greed.

Rage inducing seniors with utter buffoonery. Humiliating to have to endure elders screaming at the screen. Elder abuse at best.
