Newsmax is a news application for iOS that supports multitasking through features like picture-in-picture video playback. This allows users to watch live broadcasts or on-demand content in a resizable window over other applications, such as email or web browsers. It's particularly useful for scenarios like monitoring breaking news during work tasks or following commentary shows while browsing. Users report that the picture-in-picture feature is reliable and enhances productivity by minimizing app switching. The app also provides access to Newsmax's television channel and a library of segments for catch-up viewing. However, some limitations include the lack of CarPlay support for audio listening during drives, as noted in user feedback. Despite this, with a high rating of 4.8, the app is praised for its smooth performance and content variety. For those seeking to integrate news consumption into busy routines, Newsmax delivers a practical solution with its multitasking capabilities and comprehensive news coverage.

As a multitasker, I really appreciate the window-in-window feature in Newsmax. It lets me watch the news while working on other apps on my iPhone without any interruptions.
