### 2/5 — Pricey

*2025-10-28*

So you buy the service and then have to pay for shows you want to see? Not loving it

### 1/5 — When it works

*2025-05-26*

Was able to watch for about 15 minutes and then crashed and now it says playback unavailable

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-01-14*

I just watched the Tucker Carlson interview with Dennis Quaid where they discussed the documentary Grid Down Power Up.  This was the only streaming service that offered it, so I downloaded it. The documentary was great, but even better, there are TONS of other documentaries that the left will never honestly talk about.  I’ve already watched several, and can’t wait to watch them again with my children in a few years when they’re old enough.  I highly recommend SalemNowfor for all their amazing content.  Monthly subscription is less than most at $7, and it’s content is so much better than all the junk offered by other streaming apps.

### 1/5 — No casting?

*2022-09-03*

Who makes an app these days that won’t let you cast to your smart tv. Like seriously guys it’s 2022. I’m sorry but I don’t like watching movies on my iPhone. I have a tv for a reason. I was so looking forward to watching Uncle Tom.

### 1/5 — Can't Activate

*2022-08-27*

I have tried multiple browsers trying to activate the app on my Samsung TV with no luck. There is no option to activate a device using the Apple app. The help section on the website offers no options for troubleshooting so I came here to find other people are having the same option. I'm not watching a two hour movie on my phone.

### 2/5 — Although the movies are good app not

*2022-07-10, version 8.1.0*

I have never seen an app that constantly flips my cellphone sideways when I am wanting to know what a movie is about,but Salem Now app is great at it and I intensely dislike it!!
Also, they have some "free videos" but their free videos can be seen in other places also , so that free stuff is not worth it. 
Any of the good movies they have cost between $13.00 and $12.00 depending on whether you rent it of buy it. Amazon Prime doesn't even  charge that much for their so many nights rentals. 

But the  biggest  complaint I have with this app 
is if you watch a trailer and then go out of it there is NO arrow on the upper left side to take you back to the home page. It doesn't happen every time I watch a trailer but it does happen alot. I literally have to delete the app then put it back on to get it to show the home page.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-16*

Can’t sign in. Just sits there loading nothing.

### 2/5 — Samsung won’t activate

*2022-05-12, version 8.1.0*

Tried 3 browsers. My Samsung TV won’t activate. Please help

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoying it the content

*2022-03-07, version 7.204.1*

So much better than scrolling YouTube.

### 5/5 — Enlightening.

*2022-01-15*

In a world full of complicated deception it’s refreshing to have the simple truth available at SalemNOW.
