NEWSMAX APP UPDATED - INSTRUCTIONS HERE

 

Dear Newsmax Viewer,

We have exciting news to share with all our Roku users.

Our Newsmax app on Roku devices has been updated to give you the ability to seamlessly watch the Newsmax channel with a Newsmax+ subscription.

Here's how to get started:

If you have automatic updates enabled on your Roku device, the app updates to the latest version automatically.

If you have automatic updates disabled, you can manually update the app to the latest version.

**note:  When you click the Newsmax app, it will ask you for your Newsmax password you just set up on Newsmax+.  I found this part confusing though, because I thought it was asking for my ROKU password....

Newsmax Plus — not able to connect on all 4 Roku’s. Subscribed on one, can’t the others

You have to update the Newsmax app on Roku.

Newsmax: I subscribed for a year @ $49.99 on my desktop computer. I can access Plus on that, my iPads and phone.
i updated Newsmax App on one Roku and was required to subscribe again. I did, for 1 year. 
I have 4 Roku’s and I cannot access Plus on the other 3 Roku’s.

what’s up?

I would speak with ROKU about that.  Like yourself, I have multiple TV's with ROKU.  Once I updated the first TV, ALL my other devides updated automatically without my having to do anything at all.  I didn't even have to "update" or "sign in" to any other device.  I'm sure ROKU CS can help you.  You should NOT be paying anything more than the yearly $49.99 for all your devices.  Good Luck

Doesn’t work. Newsmax+ on my Roku tv keeps telling me that I have been signed out and won’t allow me to sign. Tried “forgot password” and entered credentials multiple times. Very frustrating.
