Not being able to get my Newsmax channel

Nobody in customer service at Newsmax knew how to fix the problem. . systems were down when I called earlier that day Someone was supposed to call me back when systems were up. No call from them. . I had to call again. They gave me the wrong channel numbers for my service provider. Still can't get Newsmax+ on my living room t.v.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I cancelled their service because they can not fix their streaming problems.

Original review Feb 14, 2024
HORRIBLE, FRUSTRATING STREAMING SERVICE..I signed up last month with the TRIAL INTRO to Newsmax Plus streaming service. No problems at all with it so I decided to get the subscription which is stupid to pay for a news service but I like the news people and thought I would give it a try.

NOTHING BUT problems after signing up. Every time I wanted to watch NewsMax Plus I would have to go to a log on page and enter my complete e-mail address with my password. All I wanted to do was click on their logo and watch TV. I complained to to their customer service department and the response was,"it seems to be a problem they can't figure out but to please be patient." After two more weeks of this, every day, I cancelled the service.

I'll watch RSBN at no cost or even Faux (Fox) News, if I have to. I would think they should have put the HORSE BEFORE THE CART but not in this case. And if I am going to be a test site at least don't charge me for the service.

I cancelled and got refunded for February. The subscription rate is $4.99 per month PLUS all your time to connect to the service.

Their comment section moderation is ridiculous

Newsmax - Their comment section moderation is ridiculous
Newmax's comment section moderators seem to ignore the leftist trolls who consistently post the most asinine tripe, yet they will flag and ban conservative commenters accounts at the drop of a hat. Way to alienate your core audience Newsmax! You really need to drop Insticator and find a REAL comment section moderator.

Newsmax2 sucks!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Ever since I started paying for the Newsmax app, it has been horrendous. Im constantly having to sign onto the app. It takes forever to load sometimes it just goes off. Now here I am waiting to hear the results of super Tuesday and theyre running some repeat crap that I am not interested in. Im really starting to become furious with this whole thing and ready to cancel my subscription. If they dont straighten it out soon. I am not getting what I paid for.

Moving Company Fraud

Hello,

My name is Sara Swanson and I am reaching out to you regarding fraudulent third party moving companies who still have my fiancé and Is belongings. My fiancé and I moved from Arizona to Illinois to start our new beginning.

We went through United Choice Movers LLC and INITIALLY they were very responsive and asked me to walk through every single room telling them the belongings I had. United Choice Movers quoted me at 3500 dollars to move all my stuff from Arizona to Illinois. They proceeded to tell me it was this cheap because I received a Black Friday deal. They made me pay a total of 1,000 dollars before the movers even showed up.

I chose this company because POD and UHAUL said my belongings would not get delivered for weeks. United Choice Movers told me that I would receive my belongings the day I arrived in Illinois which was December 15th 2023. This date was stated on the contract I signed with the company, which is no longer accessible to me.

The contract I signed stated that the moving company would be in Arizona on December 10th or 11th. I received a call on December 8th at 1:30pm MST that the moving company was coming the next day at 11:00 am.

They told me they would always give me 24 hours in advance. My fiancé and I had to frantically pack last minute boxes due to their failure to follow the contract. Next day, the moving company comes and it is not United Choice Movers. They contracted out to Master Moving LLC.

Seven guys showed up and all of them were from Russia or Ukraine, except the main guy who was from Wyoming.

He proceeded to tell me his name was Noah and come to find out, thanks to True People Search and Facebook, his name is Hunter. He loads all of our stuff up and comes inside and tells us we had more stuff then quoted for. This was after I went through the list several times with Vincent and Joe from United Choice Movers. My 3500 dollar quote turned into 10,500 dollars.

So what am I supposed to do? Tell them to take all my stuff off and find a different company? This is right before Christmas and all I wanted was for things to go smoothly. My fiancé and I have been through enough in the last 2 years and this was why we were moving in the first place.

So Noah aka Hunter tells us we will have our stuff delivered on Friday December 15th PER THE CONTRACT and we arrived Thursday night December 14th in Antioch (northwest of Chicago) and I called the company who then proceeded to tell me I have to call a different number who then finally gave me my so-called drivers number.

This man did not speak English and reported that he only picked up my stuff yesterday which wouldve been December 13th. The driver reported that he has several stops and he will not get to me by Friday December 15th. On December 16th I called the company and they reported that my stuff will be here on Tuesday December 19th. Well sure enough I call the company again and that date changed to Wednesday December 20th/Thursday December 21st.

I was not given any DOT/MC#. The truck that picked up my belongings was not marked. NONE of the seven males had CDL license and I know this because Noah aka Hunter told my fiancé and I he did not have one nor did any of his guys. My fiancé is a Journeyman Lineman and previously worked for ComED and asked the foreman if he had air brakes and he said yes and my fiancé said you have to have a CDL if you have air brakes and are pulling that much weight.

His response was well I havent been caught yet.

Flash forward to yesterday December 19th, my fiancé contacted the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and reported our stuff stolen/missing because the company fails to tell us where our belongings are. Mind you, there is probably 50,000 dollars worth of things on that truck. Also, priceless items like my recent deceased fathers photos and personal belongings that I will never get back if they do not show up. I am 26 years old, without my best friend/father to walk me down the aisle.

The ONLY things I have left of him are on that truck. I am reaching out to Newsmax because I have done absolutely everything in my power to retrieve my stuff and I dont know what else to do. I am sure United Choice Movers LLC and Master Moving LLC have screwed multiple people over before and I want this issue address. I am unsure how people sleep at night, especially before Christmas, knowing they are leaving us and many others in an empty house without anything but the clothes on our backs.

Please reach out to me at anytime at your earliest convenience. If you want to contact me directly my number is: 815-527-****.

Sincerely,

Sara Swanson & Spencer Mccann

Problems EVERY SINGLE DAY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Since having to pay for Newsmax I have had to sign in EVERY SINGLE DAY..AT LEAST once a week something went wrong with the server and I cant get anything, I dont even get an area to sign in, I have to uninstall and reinstall the app. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!

I love NewsMax but Im really getting tired of paying for something that doesnt work.

I dont have time EVERY SINGLE DAY to sign in or uninstall/reinstall the app so I can watch it. ALSO.because of my schedule I cant watch the evening programs ie Greg Kelly, Eric Bolling, Rob Schmidt or Greta so I try to watch them the next morning. Whomever does the updates doesnt always have the programming from the night before available to watch. WHY DOESNT THAT STAY UPDATED?

I really am seriously thinking of canceling my subscription. I have sent MANY EMAILS and get nothing in response.

Im giving it one more month (end of February) and if things dont change Im going to get rid of my subscription. This whole change over has been VERY DISAPPOINTING & EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

Technical support

The problem with Newsmax Plus. 3 weeks ago I called Newsmax Plus technical service to report that users have to sign in every time they change their Channel from Newsmax to something else then we have to sign back in if we want to watch it again they told me 3 weeks ago that they were working on it that it's happening with everyone I called them back today and they are still working on it they don't know what the problem is I told the man that the problem is with your flowchart in your programming if if you don't fix that your text cannot find it I cannot believe it's taking 3 weeks and they don't know what's happening I'm giving them till 1 week and then I'm going to cancel my service along with a bunch of other of my friends are going to do the same thing.

So your service is not so great. I hope you get it fixed I would like to stay with Newsmax Plus, but I will not sign in every time I change the channel, I will stay with OAN News Network.

No response from customer service after making a complaint in app

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
The app runs fine but needs more app settings such as turning off captioning. Every time I watch a repeated episode I have to stop and turn off captioning. No other app requires this. Sometimes they don't provide a repeated episode to those of us who can't watch live. Bring the Newsmax + app up to 2024 standards

NEWSMAX,,,Does this sound right! Each and every night we have to sign-in to be able to view this network that we paid for!

If you think this is funny I going to file a complaint against you with the States Attorney General Office and I hope many other customers do the same thing. Its been too long now and nothing being done,,,shame on you! Your Network NEWSMAX SUCKS! You had many people follow your news program and they signed-up in good faith for a network that your not able to stay signed-in!

This is wrong! Enough is Enough!

Not Happy with NewsMax+
Paid the yearly subscription and now cannot watch the full shows on my TV. They totally botched a good thing over Greed! I dont mind paying for a subscription, but it doesn't work! There is no "customer service" you will wait on hold for hours and if you request a call back - no one will call. Their BBB Customer rating has fallen to 1.6 out of 5 for much of the same reasons. The free Newsmax2 is a joke!
