Makes me want to break things
I work from home and for 3 years Newsmax has been a part of my daily routine. It usually streams in my living room around the clock because I enjoy the background noise and it's nice to have live updates on current events throughout the day. Since their live content was placed behind a paywall on November 1st, I've had nothing but problems. I used to watch their free live stream on YouTube but now I have to stream the Newsmax+ app on my Vizio TV via my Amazon Fire Stick. Some days the app freezes constantly. Most days it just crashes and kicks me out completely. I have tried all the solutions suggested: clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, restarting the Fire Stick, checking the Fire Stick for updates, checking the app for updates, and restarting the TV, but none of these so-called "solutions" actually work. The most frustrating part is how many times I'm required to sign back into the Newsmax+ app. After doing this 6+ times, I usually have to walk away because I am overcome with the urge to start breaking things. I also do not understand why the "Who's watching?" screen has my account listed 3 times. I only have ONE account. NEWSMAX: If you are going to charge a monthly subscription fee for people to view your live content, at least make sure your app functions properly! Otherwise, your viewers (myself included) are going to get so fed up that they cancel and find a new daily news source that doesn't make them want to tear their hair out. I don't have ANY of these problems on my Roku TV. All of the other apps on my Fire Stick function just fine. Please tell your app developer to GET IT TOGETHER.

    I've been following Newsmax for almost ten years now, they have a conservative take on these stories, and not the crap you hear from the Lame Stream. The Roku download was great, I can keep up with these stories, and Howie Carr, my local favorite from Boston is on there too. I miss him here in Florida. And there are some specials, one entitled "Dark Winter, by John L Casey, a scientist who once believed in Man made global warming, but came to his senses, when he discovered the real reason, the Sun's solar cycles, that he has tracked back through history. A much better explanation, with data, to explain this global cooling and warming. It also explains why CO2 rises with these warming spells, as they produce much more greenery on earth. And puts to rest this lunacy of a gas that makes up 0.0039% if our atmosphere as causing all these issues. Newsmax a great free app with diverse subject matter and no B.S.

    I have Newsmax on my Roku and 2 Kindle Fire Tablets. The same ISP on those devices. Why was Newsmax interrupted Tuesday and Wednesday on the Kindles while Roku's Newsmax was fine? The kindles weak "oops, there is an error" error message could not have been a serious attempt to appease anyone. Of course the Tablets are showing Newsmax fine now, but no explanation as of yet.

    This as to be the worst written app I've seen in the FireTV system. Every day I get a something went wrong message which forces me to clear all data and sign in again. And the sign in process is not user friendly for those of us serious about password strength. Most other TV apps seem to allow use of a phone or a computer via web links. Not this app...stuck entering a complex password using the Fire remote with an on screen keyboard that isn't even in QWERTY lay out. Really? Do the developers even use this app on a daily basis? First fix the crashes and then redo the login process.

    I want to love this app because I love Newsmax content .. but the paid version still shows tons of adverts and randomly freezes up on Google TV app, on my Pixel 6, and on the desktop app. I can only hope they resolve the problems they are having with the roll out and with the various app platforms.
