Your app freezes up & repeats after 30-45 min. Into watching. We love NewsMax but are very frustrated with these problems. What can be done to fix this?? Seems a lot of people have the same problems.

Like your station(204), but TV sound is constantly cutting in and out.

I am having to sign into news max plus a lot. Some times I get dropped and have to sign in again. I do not have this problem with other programs I stream. When you pay for something you expect better. Do you have plans to fix this and how long will it take? Maybe I should cancel watch newsmax 2 and try again another time.

By Sally Boles   1 month ago


You keep advertising your new app which I signed up but it is not working properly. I have emailed several times with no response. I would no recommend this to anyone. The programming is wonderful but if the app does not get better you will loose customers. I have to sign in every time I leave the app. The other problem is the freezing/repeating throughout programming. And then missing content when it has to catch up when it froze. It's impossible to watch. This is the only app that I have that does this. And it does it on all devices, phone, TV, kindle. This is a deal breaker!!!!!!!!

We have to enter our user name and password every time we want to watch Newsmax+ on all of our TV’s. We hadn’t had any problems until 2 weeks ago. Please help with this. If it’s not resolved I doubt that I will renew. Very annoying!

My issue is that every time I click on the app on my tv it keeps asking me to restart or delete data, this is annoying as hell. Having to keep recording information is time consuming especially when I'm pressed for time. Please fix the problem!

By Pam Hammond   2 months ago


Love Newsmax + but I’m sad tonight because it plays a few seconds and then acts like it is trying to restart. If that makes sense to you. Plays a few seconds, freezes, and the “loading dots” kick in and it plays again a few seconds…….. Help!

News max giving "something went wrong" message on two different tvs. Reinstalled app with no luck. Have to "clear data" and log in again to fix it. Getting to be a nuisance! One fix that kinda works is going to newsmaxtv.com on the web and watch there but that sucks. Will probably cancel unless they fix the problems

By W P Dowling   2 months ago


I have to sign into app everytime I use it. The connection is thru a firestick, I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled but having the same issue. Very frustrating.

The message that appears on TV screen the past two nights "Something went wrong" with 3 choices (restart app, clear data, exit app) Last night tried to login and had difficulty with that.

I just logged out of the app, went to log back in I get a message something went wrong! This has happened three days in a row now. Get it fixed or I’m canceling my subscription. When the app was free this did not happen!

By Marvin Edwards   2 months ago


I prefer to watch Newsmax but I get very put off with the glitches. Sometimes it freezes up other times I am required to log out and Re-login to restart the app. I lost the first 20 minutes of the Rob Schmit

By Sandra Walker   2 months ago


I am so disappointed in Newsmax Plus. Having connecting issues, ( saying being logged out.) If I want to watch news, I have to do a search logging in with password. Sometimes it will connect and sometimes it will not. This Should not be happening. Please indicate if this problem will be fixed soon, if not I will have to find another news forecast. To aggravating. I have read Newsmax Plus reviews, and I am having the same issues as other subscribers, so it is not my internet. Please advise. We were true believers of the old Newsmax.

By Chris Konopka   3 months ago


Started out good a week ago and now just started to have connection problems (it would play and stop every 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes every 5 minutes) and now cannot get the Samsung APP to bring up the Newsmax+ APP. Not even getting the option to reinstall.

Keeps buffering, I have strong internet and updated app. This is only app I have a problem with. I enjoy channel, please fix this issue!

By Bill Dietrich   4 months ago


I stream newsmax+ Sometimes on firetv and sometimes on roku. The sound levels on several commercials increase to a deafening level, such that I have to keep my remote almost constantly in my hand so I can hit the mute button! Some of the offenders include Dr James Dobson, Ozempic, and several others. PLEASE FIX THIS!!

By Peter Casterlin   4 months ago


I just signed up and it is pretty disappointing. Freezing, buffering, round ring of death. I have fiber to my router which is wired to my desktop. Other online streaming content does not do this. Come on Newsmax! You can do better than this.

I watch Newsmax on my iPhone. it was working fine for a few days but now it seems to pause about every few seconds I reset my Internet box and restarted it and nothing seems to work. What is the problem.

By Deborah Phillips   5 months ago


Constant buffering where it repeats the same 5 second clip over and over and over and over and then it just freezes with a buffering circle moving on the screen. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO aggravating! I've been experiencing this for two days. So angry I have cancelled my Newsmax plus account. This happens with the shows AND the ads, which can't make your advertisers very happy eithe.

By Dwaine Nolte   5 months ago


The website freezing, then playing the previous 10 seconds is only on NewsMax-TV. Not the NewsMax2. I have tried two browsers and two different Computers and it is the same. Not my network. Not my VPN. The problem is on NewsMax's end and until they fix it, I cannot get my news from them.

I can never have a one hour straight of watching newsmax without it stopping. It comes , it goes. Very frustrating. It was working well when it was free. But now we are paying for subscription, it's not working well.

NewsMax not loading on Samsung and Sony TVs and Firestick with 'SOMETHING WENT WRONG' message. App freezes when it does load. Problem occurring since forced to pay $50.00 annual fee for streaming subscribers. Also, superfluous commercials rob me of interest in programs.

I cannot get live TV. Only videos.

By Robert Weber   5 months ago


Got the APP working fine on Firestick. But the APP has no pause, rewind, or DVR capabilities. So unless you want to sit in front of your TV, the APP is useless. This change was rolled out poorly with no APP for Samsung which sells a little over 30% of the TVs sold. But the main thing for me is no DVR. They like to compare themselves to Netflix, which is a joke. On Newsmax, the program is on once and then gone. On Netflix, you can quit a program and return anytime and resume watching. So, for me, Newsmax Plus is a non-starter.

By Richard Martin   5 months ago


i left direct tv because they kicked you off.....i have been watching newsmax and enjoying it however since 2 days ago you claim that I get on with amazon.... well amazon only gives me an option of newsmax2.....i am paying for your newsmax+ but theres not an app available on amazon or any other. I have NO satellite or comcast etc. YOU do NOT have a newsmax+ app available. You guys didnt think this through at all.

Often when watching Newsmax on our Firestick, we get repeating dialogue and stalls, so frequently we don't get the whole conversation or segment. Today we get frequent crashes. We have tried clearing the cache, but still having problems.

8/28/23 this morning, when I select News Max and it's show Wake Up America, the show comes up for half a minute or so, then I get bounced out of the app and have to click in again. I'm not having that problem with other channels or apps. I tried powering down the TV, my Modem and my Router. What's going on?

By Jamie King   10 months ago


We watch fox news on Xumo Play and Pluto and the network is consistently getting interrupted, freezing every few seconds and not reloading what was missed. It is very frustrating and are close to losing us as viewers if this is not fixed asap. We were boycotting Fox but had to resort to it today to watch the memorial day services. Newsmax needs to do better, you got too big for your britches, do not be like Fox or MSNBC. Fix your network issues or you will lose a huge following!

By Raymond Segorski   10 months ago


While watching Newsmax with the Pluto app, the streaming often is interupted with unrelated video segments or backs up to replay previous content or freezes briefly. These problems make it very difficult or impossible to appreciate Newsmax as a source for news.

By Edward Ogorek   10 months ago


Newsmax unwatchable. On Verizon streaming TV it keeps buffering, does not show live TV, previous days videos, freezes, interrupts whatever is showing with partial adds. All other apps function properly. What's up?

I too am having issues with Newsmax App on my Fire TV. It is showing shows from days past, it is spotty, it halts then goes back to loading, the time in the lower left states live but it is showing 9:04pm ET but it is only 6:30pm. I am seeing shows from when the Durham report came out, and Tucker leaving FOX from days ago. This has been going on for the past three days. Please advise!

Not able to watch newsmax more than 10 or 15 minutes when it cuts out and returns to main menu. This problem started today, 05/07/2023. I have tried it on three different TV's. This only is happening with Newsmax, other apps are working fine.

By Rebecca   11 months ago


Watching via Pluto and sound tracking is horrible!!! Not like that on any other show. Backtracks and repeats sentences at times. I left Fox and wanted Newsmax to be my news source.

By Will D'Amato   11 months ago


Newsmax playback is jittery when it loads. Then it gets worse and then it just freezes and goes back to the FireStick home screen. None of the Main stream media apps do this.. It runs fine on my PC. The only solution that's been working for us is to power reset our Fire Stick and then it works for about an hour before doing the same thing again. Ludicrous!

By Pamela Estep   11 months ago


Watching via ROKU TV and I get 5 minutes of Newsmax TV for every 10 minutes of “Programming Will Resume Shortly”. Love the channel but I can’t spend 67% of viewing staring at that message. How can I fix this?

By Lou   11 months ago


On all my devices, shield, fire TV and even Roku newsmax consistently skips back over and over again skips forward sometimes freezes. Why is just newsmax having this issue on my devices? It becomes so bad it's not watchable...

It’s happens to me 3 times already, lmportant topics about our government were discussed in what is happening to our society and how the corrupt left wing are destroying our citizens of this country then suddenly the network cuts out for 20 sec and comes back on with different topic. That is totally silencing us as Americans

By Karen   1 year ago


News max keeps running, even when we are not on the News max site. We are watching something else with the fire stick and you can still hear Newsmax, ehy? First time this had happened.

By Camron Wadsworth   1 year ago


I just purchased an S23 Ultra and it is not allowing me to turn on notifications for Newsmax. Most other apps are fine, but while in Settings/Apps... notifications are not an option to select off or on. Furthermore, when in Settings/Apps/Permission Manager/Notifications... Newsmax is not even available in the list for turning notifications on or off. I'm hoping that this is simply a bug with the S23 Ultra since it is a new device. Please advise.

Upon streaming newsmax on fire stick, the app takes us into 3-4 minutes of commercials. Then the final commercial gets hung up and then we have to go through all the commercials a second time. Occasionally, this occurs a third time and then we just give up and go to OAN. What is going on?!!

For the past several days, the app won't go full screen on my Galaxy phone. If I click the full screen button at the bottom right of the video, it blanks out everything else but the broadcast but won't fill the screen. I'm not having this issue with any of my other apps. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but, I got the same results.

Common dislikes about Newsmax app

- The treatment of Mike Lindell was unacceptable.

- The newscaster was rude and censored Mike's opinion.

- It is not much different from the other mainstream media outlets.
