### 5/5 — Good media!

*2026-08-09, version 7.0*

Aside from their recent turn slightly to the Left, Salem News Channel remains the most solid Godly, conservative, truthful network on the planet.

### 1/5 — Why even have an app

*2026-06-26, version 7.0*

The app sends notifications, and when you click on the notifications, it opens the app which immediately redirects you to social media. Just show the story on your app, or get rid of the app. This is absurd.

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2026-06-13, version 7.0*

Love it!

### 5/5 — 'If a nation expects to be ignorant & free...it expects what never was & never will be"-Jefferson

*2026-05-27, version 6.9*

💥 Rare source of ENLIGHTENED REASON in   Progressively polluted milieu .

### 1/5 — App never works!

*2026-05-01, version 6.8*

I love listening to The Mike Gallagher show but it never works on this app. I will click the app, click his show and it’s just a black screen with a white arrow and it NEVER plays. Doesn’t even deserve the one star in my opinion!!

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2026-04-05, version 6.7*

I tried your streaming channel today. I watched for two hours. Pleasantly surprised.

Breaking News, Live TV, Video On Demand, TV guide, and Chromecast to HD TV.

Every show is rated PG-13. News, current events, panel discussions, topics that matter to normal people.

(So I recommended SNC to all my siblings. Even the libs.)

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-02-25, version 6.7*

Too many

### 5/5 — Ms

*2026-02-22, version 6.7*

Excellent!!! The others should learn from SNC, you are the only one that I can go on any time and watch any show I missed! Thank you so much!!!

### 5/5 — Program line up

*2025-11-06, version 6.4*

Second to none. Keep up the good work!🇺🇸✝️✡️🙏 Salem news network. Excellent line up of hosts
Thank you 🇺🇸‼️❤️

### 5/5 — A unique viewpoint

*2025-10-23, version 6.4*

I have just added the Salem News app to a new iPad I  acquired, and am enjoying catching up with Mr. Hewitt daily on YouTube. The mix of current events, fascinating interviews, and book reviews provides me with all I need to feel competent about a conservative political philosophy in our modern world. 
   For example, I was very excited about Hugh’s interview and review of Leland Vittert’s autobiography, “Born Lucky”. I proceeded to order the book from Amazon, and being a retired school teacher, plan to share multiple copies with friends and family because that is now my calling. To promote reading as a way of enriching life is my burning passion. This week Hugh interviewed Bret Baier about his new book about Theodore Roosevelt, “To Rescue the American Spirit”.
My son, Zeb, is working in Fargo, ND at North Dakota State University, and he very excited about the museum that will opened in honor of Theodore Roosevelt’s life in 2O26. I could not have had a better recommendation for a book to share than the enthusiastic interview and review by Hugh. I immediately ordered a copy for myself and sent a copy to my son.
   I, as many others, view Hugh as a national treasure, that daily provides a positive alternative to the progressive spin of the legacy media. I feel honored to share my review.
