Losing Faith in Newsmax?

Generally the network is appreciated. Greg Kelly and Chris Salcedo are positive standouts as true American patriots. There are others who are noteworthy as well. Bianca de la Garza is a breath of fresh air displaying complete composure under any and all circumstances. She’s the complete package - beauty and brains. Newsmax is lucky to have her. My concern is that hints characteristic of mainstream news organizations seem to be slowly surfacing at Newsmax. I hope this is not a trend toward the beginnings of Newsmax morphing into another mainstream network ala Fox.

The price for paid subscription? Horrible service!

I subscribed to the paid service because I have always liked Newsmax. It seems, however, that the minute I subscribed service was horrible. I have to sign in at least once a day because of freezes, video cuts out, audio cuts out and sentences are often overlapped or repeated due to technical glitches. Furthermore, I'm fed up with hearing how Newsmax has has a "brand new" story (that being a paid streaming service started 4 months ago) and hearing "we can't stop talking about it"---well you'd better. It's getting VERY old. Finally, I was still willing to hang in despite issues mentioned. However, after hearing several commentators state emphatically that Newsmax believes that the 2020 election was fair and legitimate I am done! It's not that I disagree with Newsmax on this (which I do) but rather it shows that they are just one more network of non-journalists who find it impossible to be neutral (or at least present both sides.) Shame on Newsmax! So very disappointing!

Hang Up

I recently called Chris Salcedo show. I was hung up on twice. I did not even get to speak my point. I was not rude, nor did I do anything to have this happen. I find him rude and controlling. I will not ever listen to him again and will spread the word as how he may treat his listeners.

The app is very aggravating

The app is extremely aggravating. You have to clear the data resign back in every single time you go out of it. It is a lot of trouble. I have called them they gave me one month free for my trouble but it's still not fixed. So sad because I trust their news more than any other but their customer service is pathetic.

Continuous sign in

Same Here.Like the shows and anchors but have to sign in every time I turn it on no matter what TV it's on. Then more times than not, it just goes out. Do not have this problem with any other app.Very annoying.Dont want to but it's about time to cancel.

They have major issues with the app

They have major issues with the app, having to exit the app, clear data, re-entering user name and password. I have struggled with this for months, this is not my error, but theirs and in reading other comments, I see that I am not alone. I want to be a loyal customer, but they are making it difficult.

I enjoy the commentators of Newsmax…

I enjoy the commentators of Newsmax best of all. I have been watching since switching from Fox for the last 2 years. I did pay $50 for the year and the only downside thus far is the audio/video, they need to do something about this? It's aggravating when they are doing interviews and either the audio or video goes silent, and it's almost every day. Still happy about the broadcasts and subscription.

The news is great the app sucks

We subscribed to Newsmax and we just paid our first monthly payment. However, I think we are going to cancel just because you have to constantly be logging in The app crashes all the time you would think that they would get this fixed because it looks like they’re losing a fair amount of customers

The app is a pathetic

The app is pathetic. It’s as though the software was purchased from a recycled AOL store. Log in speed is about the same as using a phone line from 40 yrs ago.
In this day and age their technology resembles something you would deal with in a third world country.
Every time it’s either a glitch or you have to log in again. Can’t believe I’m paying for this crap. Have multiple apps that I subscribe to an never have this problem. Hire some top experts from Cupertino of purchase some up to date software.

serious authentication issue

The app will not remember that I am a customer. I have to re enter the password every day or two. I finally got tire of it and canceled my subscription.

They shouldn't have hired Greta van…

They shouldn't have hired Greta van Susteren or Bob Sellers, or fired Sean Spicer. I haven't been able to watch them since hiring Greta from CNN, and Bob Sellers, wherever they found him, is too much of a milquetoast, no personality, and brings nothing to the show. He became hated when he treated Mike Lindell so poorly, walking off the program on him. Sellers is just a fixture, he repeats things and agrees with the other anchor, doesn't contribute anything. These people are lost! Wrong way guys!

Every time Alex Gramer goes on

Every time Alex Gramer goes on, I have to mute of turn off the program until she is off. Her demeanor makes me sick. Not sure who likes her or is related to her but she would be good on a strip club. Her laugh is vulgar but I just turn off the program or mute when she comes on. Does someone in her family push this.
She has zero talent. mho

I would not mind paying to watch…

I would not mind paying to watch Newsmax Plus, but 1. I have to sign in too many times 2. Way too many commercials 3. The TV shows are not updated in a timely manner. Sometimes they don’t even update the shows the day the broadcast them. I think I will cancel my membership. They are not professional.

Too much repetitive history clips

I used to watch newsmax every day and I liked it, but ever since they started showing these American history commercial clips, I can't stand to watch it. I'm really totally sick and tired of watching commercials about Ronald Reagan speeches, over and over again. They show the Martin Treptow pledge over and over to the point that I have it memorized. I'm sure Treptow was a great guy but give me a break here, it's like newsmax is trying to brainwash the viewership. Give us a break over here, most of my friends stopped watching because of this reason.
