I can no longer watch Morning Agenda, I have to watch fox until Bianca Across the Nation is on. I can't handle another minute of ED Hill, overwhelmingly obnoxious Gene

Thank you Newsmax for moving Greta to 4:00! She had no business in prime time, she sounds more like a Democrat than a Maga person. The new lineup is way better! Now if you would cancel Jason Nichols,... See more

I hate all the commercials and how often they are repeated. Sometimes the same commercial 4 times in a roll. I turn it off and go to another network.

Virus warning

Staying away from this website. Clicked on one of their articles and got a virus message (the one where there really isn't one but wants you to pay to be able to get rid of the virus that is not there). I have learned how to get out of it. Newsmax needs to be more careful what articles they post on their site.

Dishonesty problem at NEWSMAX

Dishonesty problem at NEWSMAX. Don't buy NEWSMAX public shares, they have a dishonesty problem. They train their customer service to lie to customers with issues and say their technical staff is fixing them. But they have had the same problem for 10 months and they haven't solved it. Their solution is to teach employees to lie.

I think a company that does such a simple thing is not honest about serious issues. I would not trust NEWSMAX leaders until they change this culture. It could lead to a big problem. Some people at NEWSMAX are good, but some are bad.

I love Newsmax!!!

I love Newsmax. It’s far superior to FoxNew. I love all the anchors, especially Rob Schmidt and Greg Kelly. I even love Greta. She’s brilliant, fair, and well respected, even by people on the left. It’s the only station I watch.

Haters gonna hate.

Haters gonna hate.

There is no alternative to Newsmax.

That alone dispels whatever gripes you have.

I myself have them, but in the scope of things, they PALE in comparison to the fact that THERE'S NO ALTERNATIVE.

Get over it.

There are TWO very annoying things…

There are TWO very annoying things about Newsmax which could easily be fixed.
1) Stop the late afternoon and evening opinion show hosts from REPEATEDLY showing clips taken of The View, or MSNBC host shows, or CNN host shows. If we wanted to see that CRAP, we'd watch those programs/stations! It's almost like, c'mon, let's hate them real good. ENOUGH!

2) GET RID OF GRETA VAN SUSTEREN. Not only is her voice annoying, but she's more far left than conservative, PLUS she is constantly interrupting her guests which is just downright rude. And those stupid purported "comical clips" shown at the end of the show are idiotic!

I like having a concretive news station…

I like having a concretive news station to watch since the downfall of Fox to the dark side but, every since they started charging for their Newsmax+, they seem to have slid downhill in quality and several times on the weekend, they can't even follow their own schedule and use filler shows. They also record their segments then replay them instead of having continues programming, guess they must have a great break room and take full advantage of it. They keep touting their signups for the +service but its only reached 200K since they starting charging in November, not very impressive. And, they have the worst customer service I have ever encountered, they never reply to any of their messages to them.

I like Newsmax but I have a few issues

Wake up America does not start early enough for EST time zone.

Weekends are horrible they want you to watch shows that have nothing to do with news, I pay to watch Newsmax should be 7 days of News not 5 days.

I want to like this channel, but. . .

I like all the commentators and the content. What is super annoying is I bought the app and you can’t do anything special with it e.g. if you view previously recorded videos, you can’t fast-forward it you can’t do anything. Way too many commercials it totally distracts from the content.

I love Rob Schmitt

I love Rob Schmitt. He has great show every single night. He has personality to go with it and a snarky expression that often captures the craziness of the left.

But Bolling and Greta are establishment neocons. Last night Bolling had John Bolton on and did not push back on what he was saying. Greta often has warmongers on as well. They seem tone deaf that conservatives are sick of paying for a war on other side of world for a country that is NOT a democracy and just as corrupt (maybe more) than Russia.

I’m sticking with Rob. I watched Salcedo first time yesterday and liked him. I am going to try Carl Higbie.

But I’m done with Greta and Bolling. Wish newsmax would have principles and fire them. Bring back Stinchfield and Spicer.

If you do there vote and vote against t--RUMB, they will not count it or let you comment on there site. That's why "fake" poll has that crook/lier, so far ahead. Wait for November's vote that one will count.

NEWSMAX PLUS - SIGN IN

I signed up for Newsmax Plus as soon as it was available and paid for the full year. Almost everyday I have to sign in. It's extremely frustrating.

Newsmax TV is great when it works

Newsmax TV is great when it works. I changed from FOX to NEWSMAX when they fired Tucker. The problem is service. I am on day seven with no audio on Newsmax and day six of no response from Newsmax despite texting their contact line numerous times. It also doesn't go without notice that they don't respond to TRUST PILOT reviews.

Newsmax use to say "don't tell me what to think" but now it seems that they are not pure.

Has Newsmax been corrupted? How about you just report the news! Your app is crap but your comments are worse! Disclaimers and your opinions are starting to suck. About the tampon machine in the bathroom and you say "Newsmax doesn't condone violence" What a stupid thing to say. You sound like a liberal.

Just now, you say that "we at Newsmax, believe that the election was fair" blah blah blah.

Better get it together friends because you "were" the best thing that conservatives had going.

We are about to ditch you if you can't correct...

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!
