Newsmax

Not an inclusive station. Rob Schmitt, 2 thumbs all the way down.

If you lean to the Conservative side of politics, Newsmax programming is great. They offer six hours of terrific opinion-based news shows weekdays from 4-11pm EST. Programs lack Fox’s big-dollar visual bling, but the evening hosts are witty, outspoken, and entertaining. On the downside, Newsmax plays lots of commercials—seemingly more than any other cable news network—but this has improved and evenings aren’t as commercial-heavy as the daytime. I used to DVR the evening programs because commercials were so frequent, but now they are limited enough to make live viewing tolerable. For those with moderate-to-right viewpoints, Newsmax is definitely worth watching. Folks to the left might still benefit from checking out Rob Schmitt or Rob Finnerty. They both offer light-hearted and often humorous perspective on events as seen from “the other side.”

Trash and not even news. You would think that a news outlet would deliver accurate information instead of lie about what they want in every other sentence. I’m not even talking about the opinion stuff, they genuinely get information wrong constantly to the point that their content is misinformation.

NOT YELLING ONLY WANT TO SAVE PEOPLE MONEY. IN 2023 I WROTE A REVIEW ON NEWSMAX DO TO CONTINUED INTERRUPTION OF MY SERVICE. TODAY FEB 6, 2025 EVERY 5 TO 10 MINUTES THE STREAM STOPS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REOPEN THE APP. APPARENTLY THEY'VE NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE CAUSE OTHERS HAVE REVIEWED SAYING THE SAME AS ME. UNLESS THIS GETS RESOLVED QUICKLY SINCE I DON'T FEEL 2023 IS TO QUICKLY I'M CANCELING MY NEWSMAX PLUS SUBSCRIPTION AND WILL PAY A BIT MORE FOR SLING TV SO I CAN GET RELIABLE FOX NEWS STREAMING.

They used to make an attempt to be factual but now with the phony debunked American Moments and 1000 commercials it's dumb.

I really love the shows on NEWSMAX PLUS, especially Greg Kelley, Chris Plante, etc. But the little of bit of juice you get between the commercials is not worth the squeeze. I just cancelled my subscription because I don't think anyone should have to pay to watch commercials. And the commercials seem to consume so much more time than the actual shows. Sorry, I will miss my shows, but NOT the never ending commercials.

I call BS on Newsmax’s initial stock purchase offering. It was originally capped at $100,000,000.00 and is only open to people worth a million or with an income of $200,000.00+ who will receive a 25% discount and a 7% dividend. (In other words, only wealthy people can invest early to get discounts and dividends.) So, all of us middle—and low-income people who represent 95%+ of Newsmax’s viewing audience must wait for the Initial Public Offering (IPO) to buy our stocks at full price with no dividend. They have extended their cap to $150,000,000.00 and now to $200,000,000.00 for the initial wealthy purchasers. In their advertising of this issue, they say it is an SEC rule. If so, they shouldn’t have extended the cap so that middle and low-income buyers would be able to purchase shares at a reasonable price. Another option for Newsmax to be fair would have been to establish a co-op (representing a wealthy investment) whereby all people could pool funds to get the appropriate share of stock with the discount and dividend. I planned to purchase $2,500.00 of their stock but have decided to stay out. Because the wealthy receive their $200,000,000.00 worth of IPO shares at the 25% discount and dividend, which will lower the opening value of Newsmax stocks, only providing immediate profit for the <5% wealthy of Newsmax viewers who will be the shareholders on opening day selling to make an immediate 25%+ profit.

I used to love newsmax but I'm really getting tired of paying money for a channel that crashes all the time. It's always kicking back to my home screen, freezing up, or buffering. Going back to Fox News channel

Newsmax has been our go to new channel for years however, during the last few months, the TV app keeps bugging out with a message that “We ran into a problem, we are sorry.” It then reverts back to the “Watch Live Now” button. It is the worse in the evening. The app only lasts 5 minutes and then boots you out of the app. We are cancelling our subscription. If they know they have a problem, they should communicate with their subscribers.

Love, Love,Love the" American Moment"short stories. Lots of great information with little to No opinion. Real stories from our combined history as Americans. Easy to form your own opinion on past real world issues and situations. This was real news real history. Not fake history as told by political hacks. Thank you NewsMax

App frequently crashes

I like news max plus but the app keeps crashing constantly. I was on hold for almost two hours with them. Finally I got to speak with someone and he said they were aware of the problem and are working to get it fixed. That was over a month ago and it still keeps crashing weather in at my home in Oregon or my other home in Florida; same thing. I had to switch to Fox to watch the Trump inauguration because it kept crashing every three minuets , so irrigating. So at this point we have no choice but to cancel our account and go back to Fox!

Contacted customer service to ask for a refund of my subscription that was just charged, but was completely ignored and instead got multiple spam emails I didn't sign up for. I know their policy is no refunds, but their policy is also actually to show the news as it happens. However they only have reruns on the weekend. That's bad enough but I adjusted. However they showed Trump's Victory Rally on 01/19/2025, but cut it off a few minutes into Trump's speech and went back to rerun the previous events as if Trump wasn't actually giving a speech. As a result I have cancelled my subscription and will subscribe to Fox News instead since I don't have cable. It should be noted that little old OAN showed ALL of Trump's Victory Rally speech to the end and even beyond. Newsmax is a huge disappointment and I cannot recommend them at all. Don't waste your time and money.

Newsmax you were doing so well! It was a 5 star for a few years. Running all the 'america in history' segments over and over throughout the hour has got to stop! Please go back to more hard news and consider limiting the small segments to 2 an hour or maybe 3 an hour, excluding adds of course. You have to make money. Newsmax was 5+ stars before they added small history segments that repeat over and over!

Newsmax started out great, but I believe they’re going downhill. They have a commercial that says we are not trying to tell you what to think. Then Gretchen comes on and says.” People think news just happens,well it don’t. News isn’t news unless someone like me is there to explain it to you.” That sounds a lot like trying to tell me what to think. Then you have Greg Kelly saying the pot smokers are THE Problem with this country and belittles us every chance he gets. I don’t think they realize how many conservative redneck pot smokers are out here. I am looking for a replacement now.

Greg Kelly was so nasty about Pete Hegseth that I cannot watch his program anymore. Greg is supposed to be a great Christian but he did not act like one on this occasion.

The free Newsmax show on our Samsung TV is horrible. Most of the time it plays long clips of Teddy Roosevelt, JF Kennedy, the old space program, and other boring stories (after watching the first time, it gets boring). $4.99 per month is too expensive. We'll subscribe when it is 0.99 cents per month. Ugh.

I can't get newsfuckingmax to quit showing up on my email all the time.

I'm not really happy to spend money to watch any news but in today's world this is what we have, like it or not. I'm especially upset that the captioning doesn't work most of the time. I'm disabled and deaf and I need captions to understand what's being said in your broadcast. I'll give it some time for newsmax to fix this issue but by reading these reviews I seriously doubt that anything will change. Just report the news without all the opinions of the folks that are reporting said news.

I cannot watch Wake Up America week days anymore. How many times does Sharla say “yay” in an hour? This is very unprofessional and sounds uneducated.I was looking forward to the new co-host Mark, but it seems he is not an allowed to talk or contribute. Fox Business is a much better choice at this time.
