Wonderful 😕 I haven't left work yet to be home so I can check I took others word. Maybe still some updates pushing out. I'll reply with my Roku model and if it's successful or not when I get home.

Re: NEWSMAX PLUS ROKU Password Error

Try to log on to Newsmax Plus and keeps getting an error telling me it is an incorrect email or password.

NO WAY.

Did you make sure that you "highlighted" the newsmax APP, then hit the * button and click "check for updates" first.  You have to do an update first before you can get the new app to sign into

Just click "forgot password".  It will send you an e-mail to reset your newsmax password

Thank you so much! I was losing my mind trying to figure it out. I did exactly what you suggested, and I have Newsmax plus! I just paid for years subscription and was thinking oh my gosh I just threw my money away! You are awesome

Re: NEWSMAX PLUS IS A GO, they heard our complaints and fixed things

Does not work!!  I previously signed up for the "free" trial at newsmaxplus.com.  I have a user ID and password.  Tried to log in 4 times to the app.  It kept trying to get me to sign up (even though it recognized my login credentials).  Keeps pushing me over to the Roku purchase.  I went ahead and resigned up for the monthly payment.  It still kept kicking me out.  Honestly, Newsmax is doing a terrible job rolling this out.  They need to fire their development and project team.  This is absolute incompetence!!!  I really like Newsmax, but I am giving them another day, then I will have to go find another channel to watch.
