while watching the programing will stop/freeze for seconds. (2 to 30) and then return and repeat ....this cycle may happen a few time up to 6 or more times....this can happen anytime of day but mostly begins around 5 or 7p each day....when it begins, it usually snowballs with more and more interruptions until becoming intolerable and occasionally may freeze permanently and must close streaming Newsman and reopen it....

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.

S
Sally Boles 2024-03-09

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!!!!!!!!

D
Donna 2024-03-01

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

S
Sandra Walker 2024-01-19

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.

C
Chris Konopka 2024-01-07

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.

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!!

P
Peter Casterlin 2023-12-01

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.

D
Deborah Phillips 2023-11-17

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.

D
Dwaine Nolte 2023-11-17

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.

R
Robert Weber 2023-11-05

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.

R
Richard Martin 2023-11-03

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.

Sheila Greenhaw 2023-09-29

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.

B
Bill T 2023-09-18

News max- on tv cuts out in mid programming and repeats this over and over- when I get back in -? This does not happen on all programs or the news… it does happen on Huckabee show and Rob Carson

V
Vicki 2023-08-28

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?

J
Jamie King 2023-05-29

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!

Jumping from program to program. Sound to one show playing while showing video from another.

R
Raymond Segorski 2023-05-20

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.

E
Edward Ogorek 2023-05-20

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!
