Hi! I see you’re experiencing frequent relaunches with the Newsmax app on your Android device using WebKit browser. To help you better, could you please confirm if this happens when you open the app, while streaming content, or at some other time? Also, have you tried any fixes already like restarting your device or reinstalling the app?

In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step approach tailored for your Android device that usually resolves such app relaunch issues:

1. Clear App Cache and Data:
- Go to your device’s Settings > Apps > Newsmax.
- Tap on Storage, then Clear Cache and Clear Data. This refreshes the app’s temporary files which may be causing conflicts.

2. Restart Your Device:
- Perform a simple restart of your Android device. This clears temporary glitches affecting app behaviour.

3. Ensure the App is Updated:
- Open the Google Play Store, search for Newsmax app, and select Update if available. An outdated app may cause instability.

4. Reinstall the Newsmax App:
- Uninstall the app completely from your device.
- Restart your device after uninstalling.
- Reinstall the latest version from the Google Play Store. This often fixes corrupted installation files.

5. Check Internet Connection:
- Since streaming apps depend heavily on network, make sure you have a stable internet connection. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data to test stability.

6. Check for Android OS Updates:
- Go to Settings > System > System Updates and install any pending updates. OS updates sometimes improve app compatibility.

If after these steps your Newsmax app still relaunches frequently, it might be related to a deeper compatibility or account issue. In that case, please let me know, and I can guide you further or suggest contacting Newsmax support directly.

I have had this on Roku for two years. The app keeps crashing and debuting

Thank you for sharing that you’ve had the Newsmax app on Roku for two years and are now experiencing crashes and app relaunches. Given how persistent this issue is, let’s try some in-depth troubleshooting steps tailored for Roku to stabilize your Newsmax app experience.

### Step-by-step troubleshooting for Newsmax app crashing/issues on Roku:

1. Remove and Reinstall the Newsmax Channel:
- Go to your Roku home screen, highlight the Newsmax app, press the Options button (*) on your remote, and select Remove Channel.
- Restart your Roku device: Settings > System > Power > System restart.
- After restarting, go back to the Channel Store and add Newsmax again. This clears the app cache and installs a fresh version, which often fixes crashes.

2. Check for Roku OS Firmware Updates:
- Go to Settings > System > System update > Check now.
- Install any available updates. Outdated Roku firmware can cause app instability.

3. Manually Check for Newsmax App Updates:
- Though Roku generally updates apps automatically, sometimes the Newsmax app version on your device might be outdated, causing crashes.
- In the Channel Store, search for Newsmax and see if there is an Update option available, then apply it.1

4. Factory Reset as a Last Resort:
- If the above steps don’t help, consider a Roku factory reset. This step deletes all settings and apps and restores the device to its original state, which can resolve deep-rooted issues.
- Go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset and follow the prompts. (Note: this will require you to reinstall apps and sign back into all services.)

5. Verify Network Stability:
- Make sure your Roku device has a stable internet connection. If on Wi-Fi, reboot your router and consider switching temporarily to an Ethernet connection if possible.

6. Account and Login Checks:
- Confirm you are using the latest credentials and try logging out and back into Newsmax within the app if that’s possible. Some users report crashes linked to sign-in issues.9

If after these steps the app still crashes frequently when streaming or while navigating, it may be an issue on Newsmax’s end with the Roku app compatibility or recent updates. In that case, reaching out to Newsmax support or checking Roku community forums for ongoing outages or patches might help.3

Would you like me to help you walk through any of these steps in detail? Or if you notice any specific error codes or messages when the app crashes, please share them so I can assist further!

No place i see to remove app

Thanks for letting me know you can’t find the option to remove the Newsmax app on your Roku. No worries—I’ll walk you through the correct way to uninstall channels/apps on Roku devices, which is a bit different from phones or tablets.

Here’s how you can remove (uninstall) the Newsmax app from your Roku:

1. Go to Roku Home Screen:
- Press the Home button on your Roku remote.

2. Navigate to the Newsmax Channel:
- Using the arrow buttons on your remote, scroll right through your channel list to highlight the Newsmax app.

3. Open Options Menu:
- With the Newsmax app highlighted, press the Star (*) button on your Roku remote. (This is the options menu button.)

4. Select Remove Channel:
- In the menu that appears on the left side of the screen, scroll down and select Remove channel.
- Confirm your choice by selecting Remove again when prompted.

5. Restart Roku (Optional but Recommended):
- After removing the channel, you can restart your Roku device by going to Settings > System > System restart to clear any residual app data.

This will uninstall Newsmax from your Roku device. Then, you can reinstall the app fresh from the Channel Store if you want to try starting over with a clean installation.

If you’re still not seeing the Remove channel option when you press the star button on Newsmax, please let me know the Roku model you’re using and if you’re using the official Roku remote or another remote app—sometimes UI options vary slightly.

Only have move to top Manage subscription Check for updates Close

Thanks for sharing the options showing up when you press the star button on the Newsmax app—“Move to top,” “Manage subscription,” “Check for updates,” and “Close.” It looks like the usual “Remove channel” option isn’t appearing, which can sometimes happen with certain apps or Roku channel versions.

Here’s what you can try next to remove (uninstall) the Newsmax app on Roku:

1. Remove via Roku Settings:
- Go to your Roku Home screen.
- Scroll down and select Settings.
- Choose Manage installed channels or System > Advanced system settings > Manage installed channels depending on your Roku model.
- You should see a list of installed channels. Find Newsmax, select it, and then choose Remove.

2. Try Removing from Roku Website:
- Sign in to your Roku account at my.roku.com.
- Go to My Channels.
- Find Newsmax on the list, and click the “Remove” button next to it.
- This will remove the channel next time your Roku device syncs.

3. Restart Your Roku After Removing:
- After removal, restart your Roku (Settings > System > System Restart) to clear residual data.

4. If these options don’t work:
- Sometimes apps come pre-installed or managed via subscriptions, limiting removal options. In that case, contacting Roku Support directly might help further.

Also, for subscription management, if you’re subscribed to Newsmax+ through Roku, you might want to check or cancel the subscription from Manage subscription and then reinstall the app fresh.

If the app continues crashing despite reinstall attempts, it could be an app compatibility issue that Newsmax or Roku will need to fix through an update.

You can also reach Newsmax Customer Service at 1 (800) 485-4350 for subscription or app-specific concerns.

No place do I see manage installed apps

I understand you're having trouble finding a way to manage or uninstall the Newsmax app on your Roku because the usual "Remove channel" option isn't showing up. Roku’s interface can vary slightly by model and software version, and sometimes app channels managed via subscriptions or certain updates may limit direct removal options.

Since you don’t see "Manage installed apps" or "Remove channel" when pressing the star () button or in your Settings, here are two alternative ways to try removing or managing the Newsmax app on your Roku:

### 1. Remove Newsmax Channel from Roku Website
- Go to my.roku.com and sign in to your Roku account.
- Click "My Channels" in your account dashboard.
- Find Newsmax in the list and click the Remove button next to it.
- The next time your Roku device connects to the internet and syncs, the channel will be removed from your Roku device automatically.

### 2. Use Roku’s Channel Grid Method
If the Remove option is truly unavailable in the options menu:
- From the Roku Home screen, highlight the Newsmax app/channel.
- Instead of pressing star (), try holding down the OK button on your remote for several seconds.
- On some Roku models, this reveals additional options including channel removal.
- If that works, select Remove channel.

### Additional Tips:
- If you have a Newsmax subscription through Roku, check Manage subscription (which you already see) to cancel or update it. Sometimes an active subscription influences available app options.
- Restart your Roku device after any change by navigating to Settings > System > System restart.
- If none of these work, performing a Roku Factory Reset might be required as a last resort (Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset). This resets everything and lets you start fresh, but you will lose all other installed channels and settings.

For your convenience, here’s Roku’s official guide to managing and removing channels which might offer some help: How to Remove Channels from Roku 8.

My internet is not good so this my be the problem thanks

You're welcome! Yes, poor internet can definitely cause the Newsmax app to crash or relaunch frequently on your Roku. Streaming apps need a stable connection to load video smoothly without interruptions.

Here are some simple tips to help improve your experience despite a weak connection:

1. Restart Your TV and Router:
Turning both off and on again can refresh your network connection and sometimes improve speed.

2. Check Internet Speed:
If possible, test your internet speed on another device or use a speed test website. Most streaming apps need at least 5 Mbps for HD streaming.

3. Use a Wired Connection (Ethernet):
If your Roku device supports it and you can connect via Ethernet cable, this usually offers a more stable connection than Wi-Fi.

4. Reduce Other Network Usage:
Pause or limit other internet activities on your network (like downloads or multiple streams) while watching Newsmax.

5. Lower Video Quality (If Option Exists):
Some apps let you lower the streaming quality to reduce buffering. Check Newsmax app settings for this option.

6. Uninstall & Reinstall the App:
After improving your connection, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Newsmax app to clear any corrupted data caused by previous interruptions.

If the crashes still occur once your internet improves, feel free to reach out for more help. I’m here to assist you!
