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.

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?

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.

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 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

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 like a few of the shows, however this new paid streaming and phone app is a bad move. The app does not work well, the streaming service screams with commercials and only 4 shows a day are worth watching. I deleted streaming and phone app and stopped the dozens of daily text. Bad move Newsmax, should have focused on viewers

I really like newsmax, but I can't watch it. It freezes up and repeats or echoes to much. DELETE!

When it started there were hiccups and various issues w their broadcasting, thought of giving them a chance, being new. The quality actually went down, w a bunch of interruptions, technical issues, no sound bites when needed, the anchors stuttering muttering all over the place. Not sure how they managed to go backwards so spectacularly but can't stand watching all that mess any longer, unprofessional.

Mostly presents commentator theories and then talks them to death. Gene Kelly is the worst. Some so called 'reporters' don't even sound educated. Would not consider this a news station.

We were watching Newsmax live and waiting for Trump to do his rally on Saturday, January 15th, 2022 in Arizona. You had Mike Lindell on for an interview. All of a sudden after about 45 seconds of talking to him, you said, "Sorry, we have to take a break"... Seriously Newsmax? That move was deplorable and disgusting... Shame on you‼

Bob sellers really needs how to speak to an audience! He is so pathetic I had to turn the channel. If he wants to be so fair and ballanced send him to CNN or Fox or cbs but rest assured he is costing newsmax listeners.

Was searching for factual reporting during election time... hoped a news source could provide info on what's happening without a significant slant, given the accusations being thrown around and also the wild rumor mill stories popping up everywhere. I do NOT lean towards a particular party, preferring to vote for the candidates as individuals instead, which makes close-to-center reporting quite important to me. I found newsmax and, having never heard of it, decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, after viewing their stories online and on social media, it was quite clear to me that these guys are possibly the most biased news out there. Every story seems hand selected to support Trump primarily, then the GOP, and finally subtle digs at the Dem side of things. I found nothing even mentioning Independents. The lack of balance in reporting was very disappointing. The way they report on every Republican speaking in support of the lawsuits and challenges to the preliminary election results, while not even mentioning Republicans in opposition to those same things, is proof positive of the rather heavy right bias. Why not report both sides, equally? People that want a stout dose of Trump slant can use Fox News, and the Dems have CNN. Who wants to report news to people like myself that want actual truth, regardless of who looks good because of that truth?

I hardly care, frankly, what the opinions and biases of this news network are. I think the most important thing to note is that they do not have professional copy editing. It seems that very frequently there are misspellings. Here are a few examples:
"Franklyn D Roosevelt" and "Lillian Gesh" and "Warm Flourless Chocolate Tort". It's hard enough to believe that they are not concerned with spelling the names of two American icons correctly, but to confuse a law relating to damages awarded for a wrongful act and the name of a dessert is pretty embarrassing.

I switched from Fox News to Newsmax because I'm Conservstive and want the most reliable News source. I was fairly happy with this broadcast until you dropped Mike Lyndale who was a significant suppoter of Conservstive thought and what's Right! Replacing him with the Constant repetition of the Antique Road Show is sooo annoying! Please return Mike and a variety of Comnercials that support the Conservative agenda. I had a higher rating before your Commercial chang up. Please take note that a significant number of Viewers feel the same even though they don't review.

The digital edition reader implies that text reflow is possible, but when you increase text size, it is impossible to drag the screen to read all text on a page! And how many readers might really find increased text size useful/ or essential?
Also, you MUST have internet connection to read the digital edition. Not possible to down load an issue to read offline. And I paid $40.00 for this!? What an insult!
Fatal foaws for me. Would greatly improve the experience if these are fixed!

Can you inform Peter that unemployment ended September 4th so he is wrong. And he said the child tax is keeping people home I really don't think the amount with 5 kids would be enough to stay home ridiculous. Has he been to the store or bought gas lately or rent? Tell him he needs to get out of the clouds.

Whenever I am in need of a little chuckle, I tune in to NewsMax TV. The far right opinions and the conspiracy theories are completely hilarious. There is no actual news reporting; it's just a constant run of extremist opinions and bashing of the Democrats.
What I do find disturbing is the complete lack of respect for the Office of The President of The United States. It doesn't matter who is in office or which party the current administration represents; the person sitting in the Oval Office is still your President, and as such demands and commands your respect. You don't have to agree with their politics - that's a right you all have as U.S. citizens - but you do have to respect the Office. So your attempts at belittling the Presidency by referring to him as Joe Biden instead of including his title while properly referring to his predecessor as "former President Trump" show a lack of the respect that is your duty to show. By continually disrespecting the office, you are no longer deserving of the title "American Citizen"!
In summary, while I find your disrespect absolutely reprehensible, I do enjoy the constant stream of baseless conspiracy. Keep up the... work.

I downloaded this app a few days ago as alternative to the once-great, now-despicable left leaning Disney Fox News. I figured Disney-Fox would soon be CNN2. But the first words I heard from NewsMax were "president elect Joe Biden". So today I thought I'd give them one more chance. The very first word was the despicable "Biden". So I was wrong about Disney-Fox being CNN2, because NewsMax seems more in the tank for despicable liberals than even Disney-Fox. NewsMax--CNN2. Disney-Fox--CNN3. Delete. Delete. Screw all of you--

NewsMax is just another liberal Disney-Fox pretending to be conservative--

Someone recommended NewsMax to me as an alternative to the increasingly left-leaning [since their stink' Disney buyout] Disney-Fox. But, after downloading the NewsMax app and sitting back to hear some conservative news, the first term I head was "president elect Joe Biden". Who are you people? You can't be this stupid? Don't you understand that it's not your place to anoint the new president? You're as bad as Chris Wallace and Leland Bit Tard on the unwatchable Disney-Fox Liberal Weekends. Like they're chanting at the recent Trump flash rallies, "Fox News Sucks!" I guess NewsMax is working for the same criminals like China Joe and Hil-liar and Bare Rock, too. And the social media giants can kiss bottom, too, along with even the conservative news "stars" who beg us to "like" them on stinkin Facebook. No thanks, NewsMax. Nice try--
