  • His_Gingerness Matthew Diederichs (@His_Gingerness) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp So reading through here it's been established as a problem on Apple TV's, Samsung TV's and Rokus and firesticks and my issue is on an Xfinity Flex device and a Samsung TV. So it seems like it isn't working across the board.

  • CryptoDiscs CryptoDiscs (@CryptoDiscs) reported

    @hbomax Please fix performance of Roku #HBOMax app. Performance and navigation is horrific, slow, delayed, play one episode shows in title another episode, or vice versa.

  • JUSTBUA Bua (@JUSTBUA) reported

    @hbomax toward the end of any episode of any show I watch the “can’t play title” error comes up. What gives yo

  • jeff_ruff Jeff Ruff (@jeff_ruff) reported

    .@HBOMaxHelp I purchased @hbomax through the Apple store for AppleTV and it’s been completely booting me out of the App for the past 2 weeks? What’s the issue?

  • asdespain ArtVandalay (@asdespain) reported

    @pmayo @HBOMaxHelp It will most likely be troubleshooting your device, which will switch it to being your responsibility, instead of @HBOMaxHelp just saying “we’ll work on making it better.”

  • tito8499 seamus cronin (@tito8499) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Any ballpark estimate on the timing of the Gomorrah subtitle fix?

  • RonnyLamar22 R.L 'Amar (@RonnyLamar22) reported

    @hbomax I got hbo max on hulu but it's not working

  • blindnello Blindnello (@blindnello) reported

    Hey @hbomax, how about fixing the app so it doesn’t crash ALL the time? This has to be the worst built app, right?

  • classicang hello? (@classicang) reported

    @antonio_dmraa @CaseyJost @hbomax How bout you fix your nasty attitude?

  • jrstuhlfauth55 Jeremy Stuhlfauth (@jrstuhlfauth55) reported

    @HBO @hbomax the subtitles on Gomorrah still are not working. Do your job and fix it

  • BeachMermaid9 PrincessMermaid8 (@BeachMermaid9) reported

    @hbomax It was good but the celebrity cameos that had ZERO to do with the show were very unnecessary and James Corden as the host was awful. Also, where was Carol, Ben, Mike among lots of other people that were on the show? #FriendsReunion

  • sallybmccarty Sally Baker McCarty 🇺🇸 (@sallybmccarty) reported

    @msandreatodd @Dr_Cryptox @hbomax You have a real problem with how worked up you get over your need to be right about a TV show and all your “oh my f’ing this and oh my f’ing that.” Get some help. Seriously!

  • mpbutterworth Madeline (@mpbutterworth) reported

    Ok @hbomax the friends reunion and the new Angelina Jolie movie will not play. My money is being wasted. Please fix lol thanks

  • GradersBest prose Writers (@GradersBest) reported

    @SinSonya @TheConjuring @hbomax for sure i do help can i send you some proves Idon't know whether your dm is open?

  • Ken_Kraz Kenneth Muthama (@Ken_Kraz) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yes it still happens even if we restart the app and device. This issue has been happening since the start of the app. Also when ur watching on mobile and u try to fast forward or rewind on the time bar it lags so it’s hard to get the time u want.

  • bradley_nathanj Nathan Bradley (@bradley_nathanj) reported

    @hbomax why is your video player so trash. $15 a month should include a half decent UI. Half of the time, the next episode button doesn't work, it doesn't show up at all on the Samsung tv app, load times are horrendous, and the pause button has several seconds of lag.

  • TheDevilDiavolo The Devil 😈 (@TheDevilDiavolo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Show plays for like 8 seconds and then just cuts off!!!! Thursday NOT WORKING Friday NOT WORKING Saturday NOT WORKING It’s NOT WORKING

  • bkroseberry 🌺Common Sense, Please 🌸 (@bkroseberry) reported

    @msandreatodd @hbomax If a person truly hates a feature on themselves, wants to fix it & still look NATURAL, then fine. When people chase their youth & get so many fillers that they look unnatural, then that’s what I have a problem with. Wrinkles are much more attractive than looking fake.

  • Mik311 MikeyClassZero (@Mik311) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp i need help with my account

  • Devon_Bentonn ACTIVE SUPPORT🤝 (@Devon_Bentonn) reported

  • RubinhoISR Ruben ₿.HODL 🐝 🏰 🌮 (@RubinhoISR) reported

    @clancyRbtb @hbomax They look terrible especially Mathew Perry

  • His_Gingerness Matthew Diederichs (@His_Gingerness) reported

    @hbomax There are large reports of your service not working right now? Are you going to address it?

  • Fireburns18 Fireburns (@Fireburns18) reported

    @amarquis32 @hbomax Did you reach out to them and did they fix it? I had issues with another movie on their service and just couldn't get an answer out of them. It's like they were completely unfamiliar with the devices their app runs on.

  • sallybmccarty Sally Baker McCarty 🇺🇸 (@sallybmccarty) reported

    @msandreatodd @Dr_Cryptox @hbomax Oh my. Get help.

  • sallybmccarty Sally Baker McCarty 🇺🇸 (@sallybmccarty) reported

    @msandreatodd @Dr_Cryptox @hbomax Who cares? That’s what the story line was. Certainly not going to argue with you about whether it makes sense. Thinking something about the characters triggers something in you. Get help.
