I went to the NewsMaxPlus.com website and it said it was available on Roku. So I paid $49.99 for the subscription and only get the 2 version. Did this happen to anyone else? I would not have purchased the subscription if they advised only phones and computers. I have sent NewsMax a customer service request but there is nothing related on the site specifically for NewsMax+, still waiting for a reply from them.
I am having the same issue. It states that it is available on Roku but I am unable to get it.
Update! This evening I went to system update on my Roku device and the NewsMax app updated. There is now a login for your account. But, note that the app is kind of unstable and even though I've logged in it will say that I've been logged out. I go to the Account setting and it says I'm still logged in. So I log out and login again then the programming continues. I imagine it is going to be a bit unstable until they get the bugs out. So I recommend that everyone update their Roku software from the main menu.
Although I can't confirm personally, a few Roku users have indicated that Newsmax Support replied that they may be releasing an update to their channel/app tomorrow to allow Newsmax+ to be viewed on Roku devices. (will just have to wait and see on that one).
A temporary workaround is to go into the existing standalone Newsmax channel/app on your Roku device and select the personality you want to watch. (then select "episodes") I noticed the 11/01/23 episodes are there for many of them and they played fine. (I do not have the Newsmax+ account).
Until Newsmax releases such an update, you should be able to cast to your TV/Roku device, or even use a HDMI cable from your laptop to your TV (bypass Roku) and stream from the Newsmax website after login/signin to your new Newsmax+ account if you wish to stream LiveTV (the actual Newsmax+ stream, not the N2 stream).
I have the same issue today. For somereason all was well on all of my TVs yesterday but Roku is asking me to sign in again and then won't take it, I just continually get the sign in page. This is so frustrating and obvious that that Newsmax has not worked out the bugs before launching!! I may have to cancel my payment!
Having exactly the same problem! Takes me 20 minutes and multiple try's to finally get it to work. If I got to another channel then come back to Newsmax+ I have to start the process all over again.
paid for it, still cant get it
I'm curious, what have you done to resolve the issue? I'm not having any issue watching NewsMax+ at all. As a matter of fact it's running at this very moment. Can you post step by step the process you have done to try and get it running?
They are using the same app, you do have to update the Newsmax App.
Before going to live tv in the app, go to the menu at the left, down to Account Settings, enter your info, and then your Live Newsmax will work on your Roku.
I'm glad they kept their word to have it up and working today!
I Paid for the year subscription for Newsmax plus. I have updated everything, still can not get it to come on. I'm very upset. I called newsmax twice no call back

I removed the app on my Roku TV, then reinstalled. It asked me for login info and is now appears to be working!
I'm frustrated with the same problem
Perform a Roku Update, this updated my Newsmax to the new version.
Yes...but finally tonight I got the Newsmax app working. It's the same app. .not a new one. Here are the steps I used:
~ Logout of Newsmax on all devices
~ Navigate to your Newsmax channel on Roku and press the * key on your Roku remote. Select Update App and press OK (even if Auto Update is On)
~ When update is finished, press OK to open the app.
If you haven't registered before, you will need to do it now. Otherwise, just login with your Newsmax login credentials. You may have to change your password. This process worked for me on my Roku Ultra. As a side note, I had to choose a payment plan after logging in even though I had 12 days left on my free trial.
no free trial when you subsctibe on roku
when I subscribed with the annual subscription on Roku (and my bank account got charged already).....it didn't give me Newsmax+ but asked me again by giving me only the monthly option when I already had paid Roku the annual subscription. This is so confusing.
I still can’t get it on Roku and also paid $49.99 it’s enough to make you just cancel it all and forget the whole mess, My opinion is Newsmax should have never done this in the first place
I agree. I paid for Newsmax plus. Then when I try to open the app, it asks for my password. Do I put in my Roku password or my email password (my email was at the top) or my Newsmax password? Getting frustrated.
Update your Roku system and the NewsMax will update and it has login for your account. It's a bit unstable but it's bound to get better as the bugs get worked out.
I am signed up as well but the app tells me I’m signed out.. no response from Roku and Newsmax
Mine is apparently working now, what I did was to sign up via the Roku app subscriptions. Now that does present the issue of being double billed and Newsmax customer support will cancel that subscription, so I can manage my premium subscriptions via my Roku account. When I load the app to watch it starts normally and I checked my account login in the app and it has nothing in it. So far so good.
Newsmax support has been ok, but I think they are overwhelmed at the moment because of the launch, also the servers are overwhelmed for the same reason but will taper off and work normal shortly.
how long ago did you try to reach out to Newsmax customer service and how long did it take for them to return your call or email?
So you are saying that Newsmax will cancel the subscription I paid on their website and then the subscription that shows on my Roku TV/app will be the annual subscription for Newsmax+ that I will be managing for renewal?
I also bought this Muthfquers news max 50 dollars cant even answer the calling news max...!!! phone or bushiness numbers either they just hang up on me since I payed for they crooked deal...???
I didn't get hung up on but it did ask for my phone number name --- i guess I didn't wait long enough and they probably would have hung up on me - arghhh☹️
