I can’t that he always answers my questions or makes me feel better about our current political situation. But he does some how always incorporates religious beliefs and calms me. I wish I could be as articulate as he. ### 5/5 — Great Products!!!!🔥 *2021-09-07* Thank you for the straight forward truths incorporated into your movies! Refreshing to watch documentaries and movies with a positive message! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2021-08-29* Absolutely thrilled to find such wonderful content. Movies and stories I am excited to watch. Gives me the hope that I can let go of 175 channels of tv viewing that I never watch except for news and Little House on the Prairie/ Waltons!! Thank you. Jane ### 4/5 — Excellence *2021-08-02, version 7.001.1* Excellence for access to true diverse documentaries. ### 5/5 — Okay *2021-07-31, version 7.001.1* Great programs ### 5/5 — Refreshing content *2021-07-22* So far, I have enjoyed getting Biblical documentaries and reading about racism and it’s complex history through Salem Now. Glad to support something that is not a massive conglomerate. ### 5/5 — Just started *2021-06-25* Just started, but great content. ### 5/5 — Great content *2021-05-30* Really good thought provoking topics that matter to me. ### 5/5 — Great, intelligent content. *2021-04-25* When we need it the most, because we are at a cross roads of good and evil.

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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-05-16* Can’t sign in. Just sits there loading nothing. ### 1/5 — FireTV *2021-05-16, version 6.310.1* How to watch from iPhone app to fireTV does not work. ### 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 ### 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. ### 2/5 — Samsung won’t activate *2022-05-12, version 8.1.0* Tried 3 browsers. My Samsung TV won’t activate. Please help ### 4/5 — Subscription service needed *2021-08-30* The rental and purchase prices are pretty rough. A $20 rental is great for family movie night but for a “it’s just me night” I think that is pushing it. Let’s get that subscription service going and I will be more than happy to drop many of the services I already have to contribute to the change in the service model. ### 4/5 — Content is great, price is a bit high *2021-08-22* Love the content on this app. Would rather have a monthly/ annual subscription than “pay per view.” ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — DC4902 *2022-01-01, version 7.204.1* Great media resource in these times! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-18* Their documentaries are well done and very educational. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2021-12-04* Need more Christmas movie options but we live the content Great quality ### 5/5 — Salem Now is quickly becoming a leading alternative platform up against Mainstream Media. *2021-11-25* I love watching the original content being put out, especially Documentaries. Thank you for the growing selection on this alternative platform. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-11-06* Appreciate great content that is available through this app. ### 5/5 — Patterns of Evidence Moses *2021-10-05, version 7.201.1* I love these documentaries and I love the truth your media is promoting ### 5/5 — Awesome site and app! *2021-09-26, version 7.201.1* Thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
