Love Newsmax, hate the streaming service

I’m currently trying an annual paid subscription for my smart tv and my phone. I love Newsmax, but hate the streaming service so far. My schedule doesn’t allow me to sit and watch my favorites, Higbie, Schmitt and Finnerty. I got rid of DirecTV which had Newsmax and I could record them to watch a short time later (and FF through commercials and boring parts). The streaming programs aren’t available immediately after they air. Sometimes it’s not until several hours later or the next day! I’m stuck with commercials! I can’t even fast-forward through what I find to be boring or not relevant parts. Live streaming is like watching it normally but I usually can’t. The user interface and experience really sucks IMHO. I’m not sure it’s worth paying for to have to wait with that much delay and get old news by 8, 10, 12 hours, plus suffer through commercials.

Newsmax is great, the app not so much

I love Newsmax! My number one source of news period. My only complaint is the app. I have been a paid subscriber of Newsmax + since it launched and it has been frustrating for years trying to watch the news on the app on my TV. This app is the worst I have ever used hands down!! I honestly think you have lost service subscribers because of the app. It is not reliable at all. Sometimes it’ll open right up but the rest of the time I have to clear the data and then sign in several times a month when I want to watch the news. I have to do this with no other app but the Newsmax plus app! Normally when you download an app and use it, you sign in once and you don’t ever sign in again unless something changes or you log out. Fix the app!! 😤

Not needed

They can’t report the news because they always bashing the dems or fox and they are too emotional to believe.

Over Zealous is being polite

Downloaded app had to sign up on website (monthly sub), tried to cancel next day which I thought I had. Full years subscription taken 14 days later. Did not sign up for this and appalled they acted like this. No way to unsubscribe in app.

Truth+

I’ve watched Newsmax commit suicide in 2026. Just imagine getting in line being told you’re in the right line you made the right choice, get to the end of the line to watch them get in the car with MS now and leave you standing holding your flag.
just pay Truth+ watch RAV news

What happened!!!

I thought you were a Trump cheerleader. Why didn’t you show the arrival of the Chinese President at Joint Base Andrews? We missed the military band, the flyovers, and the pomp and circumstance. Instead, you had that babbling Carl Higbe blowing his big mouth about what he likes and doesn’t like.

Put your hatred of Trump aside and show these important news stories. We don’t want to see clips later, we want to see the live events.

Newsmax gets to the bottom line without all the drama!

Getting More Like Fox Every Day

Used to be Much Better. Now there’s not too much difference between Newsmax and the Fox News app. If you see an article of news you want to read, begin reading and can’t go further because you’re not a Premium Member, then it’s just like Fox News. No difference, all for profit.

I long ago deleted the Fox apps on my phone and tablets because of this And liberal biased reporting. So far Newsmax is liberal, but don’t tease me with an article then want me to pay for the privilege of reading it. Just what Fox News Does. Keep it up Newsmax and I’ll delete your less than stellar app just like I did with Fox.

Woke

Too woke for me. Articles have an anti-Trump agenda. Used to be neutral - not anymore. They will not remove me either. POS website.

Paid for newsmaxplus and can’t get it no matter how many times I try. Waited an hour in hold and tye person that answered couldn’t help

Why ads when I subscribe to Newsmax?

I love the app. However, for the last few weeks, when I open the app, I have to listen to an ad first, despite the fact that I have a paid subscription to Newsmax. Worse, even if I change the orientation of the phone, the ad cuts
In all over again and I lose listening to the segment I was watching. Can you please do something about this? If we subscribe, we should not have to listen to an ad every time we boot the app. Thanks.

What ever happened to the comment section ? It’s not after the article. Are they going to fix it ? What happened to this program ?

Fix your app!

It’s garbage on the TV and the phone. It is almost daily that “something went wrong” and we’re subscribers! We pay to miss our favorite shows and it’s beyond infuriating. I’ve commented on X plenty of times begging you guys to do something. If you want to push subscribers away,this is how you do it!

Glad I switched

Dumped Fox News app 6 mos ago due to ads being overwhelming and app unusable ……Very, very happy with Newsmax app and only selective ads that don’t interfere with my daily reading …love it!

Wake up people, these people are shilling for money.

First they offer themselves about every 20 minutes for the initial public offering. Read the small letters you have to come in at $500,000.

their commentators have no military experience except for Carl H. All they do is pump up themselves and chill for money. When a news organization becomes an IPO, run away from it. Now they will be holding the stockholders. Not the actual news.

BBC Senility

Objective reporting? The BBC has gradually lost it. They are just following the mob now with no new revelations or serious interpretation of events.

Hate this app

The most frustrating app ever. Have cleared data and shut down, restarted and re-signed in many times. Paid app that is useless because it shuts down, kicks me out and I spend more time trying to fix it than I do watching the news. It’s too bad because I love their content. Canceling my subscription.

Choked up with nothing but ads like everybody else. Why do I pay five dollars a month for a bunch

Amazing how automatically an old review from somebody else showed up in this box. Somebody tell these advertising bags of snot, to stop waving their hands around, trying to get your Get your attention. Cause that's what AI is trained these plus sacks to do. Drug dealers take your ad somewhere else. Fake doctors, take your ad somewhere else. I can't stand watching you idiots.
