Reviews for Newsmax

Love NewsMax, my favorite way to get my news. However, the new subscription doesn’t allow me to Chromecast to my TV. I am happy to subscribe, but I have to be able to cast to my TV. Although, I do think having a subscription will significantly hurt the viewership. Bad timing on implementation of a […]

Like many others on here…….love the news, hate the app. Will gladly change to 5 stars once they figure it out. I have a Google TV and chromecast on my other TV. EVERYTIME I try to open Newsmax, it makes me login and it is quite frustrating. Never had this problem when the service was […]

I want to cancel my subscription. This new app is awful. I have to constantly re-login every couple of days. When I move my apple TV to one of my other tvs I don’t even get the sign in option, just the activate for the 14 day trial. Speaking of the 14 day trial I […]

Edit Nov 17: The Play Store app, the FireTV app, and their website CONTINUALLY crash and buffer. Checked my internet speed, the problem isn’t on my end. It’s them. Was considering paying the sub fee to watch, but I won’t be if this is what I’m paying for. ———- When the app works, it’s great. […]

Since the change over on 11/1/23 we have had nothing but problems! Cannot get Newsmax plus on our new TV. Loaded it into our phones for a trial, but Cannot cancel! This is the most frustrating app ever! If we did not like Newsmax so much we wouldn’t be going through this. Where is the […]

I used to really love Newsmax and the people on their network. (I really preferred them to Fox). Had absolutely no problems. Then they went to Newsmax+… The app is completely useless. It doesn’t work my phone, Firestick, or computer. If you were going to charge for your service, make sure it works before initiating […]

I can’t believe you’re charging me for this service. EVERYTIME I turn it on, it doesn’t work….keeps buffering or makes you restart the app and having to enter all your credentials one digit at a time. Makes you want to throw your remote through the TV screen! Giving it another month then canceling if you […]

Whoever wrote the version of this app for Android should be immediately fired! Buggy, nothing seems to work as it should, constantly having to log back in and then only being able to watch Newsmax 2. This is an excellent example of taking a wonderful app that works flawlessly and effing it up beyond all […]

I’m on an LG smart tv and it keeps saying something went wrong and I have to clear the data and manually sign in. It didn’t used to do this. Started about a week or 2 ago. Deleted and reinstalled the app. No change. Clearly I’m not the only one reporting this problem. Also, sign […]

I paid for this app for the year because I like newsmax. I have had nothing but trouble. Half the time it takes 20 minutes to log in. Once in I have often been cut off. Today I tried for 30 minutes. I am still not in. Before newsmax +, I had no trouble getting […]

This app is horrible. Every time this app is used, the app freezes with a lag-loop. The video freezes, and the audio loops back 10 seconds. When the audio reaches the video freeze point, the stream continues. Then, the cycle repeats continuously, every 20 seconds, until the top of the hour when the next program […]

I used to watch News Max morning… What happened to “download the app, it’s free”??? One of the best places for me to get the news, is now falling into the same trap all other apps are in… Paid subscriptions!!! Then the app crashes when I try to get to the subscription page to see […]

GREAT CONTENT! Which is why I give it 3 stars. The problems lie with the app freezing, restarting, and the audio being “off target” meaning the words don’t match up with the mouths. Personally, I don’t care much about the audio being “off” since I usually just listen to this app while I’m driving. But […]

The app provides accurate & unbiased news however, after reading a news story & hitting the”back” button it returns to the opening shell… not where you left off – the app didn’t used to do this, so something changed. This is most inconvenient. I notified newsmax about this software bug, and they indicated their IT […]

This is my absolute trusted news source, but the new app is absolute garbage! You guys did better when it was free. Constant delays, and when it does catch up, you’ve missed part of what was said, if the app even loads at all! That’s just part of it. And I’m paying for this???? I […]

Not happy so far. The default settings to subtitles is ridiculous. Every time I turn it on! I go to bed early, so I watch all the evening programs in the selection of episodes. Every one has subtitles! I cannot advance through commercials easily like I used to. And if this site was like ‘Netflix’ […]

I have never experienced the trouble I have put up with since downloading this newsmax app. I can’t watch a program on time without having to send a email complaining about the issues I’m having, and then like magic it comes on. They have tried on 2 different occasions to take $39.99 out of my […]

When I was streaming for free I never had a single problem with the app, ever. Now that I’m actually paying for plus I can’t watch it half the time. Literally every hour I get kicked out with some ridiculous message about the content not being part of my subscription or it just being unavailable. […]

App doesn’t work properly. I am continuously having to clear data and then I have to sign back in. No easy way to sign in. You have to put in email and password every time. Not like other apps with just a code. I paid for a year but I may have to cancel at […]

5 ***** for the programs but have to give 3 *** because I’m constantly getting “Something went wrong when trying to load the stream. (Error Code F09)” or similar messages and I’m missing important information!!! And of course this rarely, if ever, happens during any commercials. I never once had this problem when NewsMax was […]
