    @hbomaxmovies @hbomax Hope I get a chance to watch it. Every evening all weekend HBO Max has been down when I've tried to access via ps4. Fine in the morning. Down in eve. Downdetector shows I'm not alone. You're charging high monthly fees--need to solve these problems or prorate for loss of service.

  • slabadaud Slabadaud (@slabadaud) reported

    @hbomax @hboma fix your ps4 app. It never works and always crashes. Did a 10 year old build it? For $15 a month you could put some of that towards fixing and developing your ****** software. #hbomax

  • ABLUNTINATLANTA MR. SLIMEBALL🎱👹❤️‍🩹 (@ABLUNTINATLANTA) reported

    Fix rush hour 2 sound @hbomax

  • BeyUncanny Beythoven (@BeyUncanny) reported

  • michsto2018 Michsto2018 (@michsto2018) reported

    @hbomax You have alot of nerve to be charging what you do when all I get us buffering on Roku, Firestick and my Smart TV. And your instructions for fixing the issue is a joke. Fix your servers!

  • ANoelleJay ANoelleJay, Alicia Noelle J. (@ANoelleJay) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @no1important701 Rewinding issues over here too tho

  • alishabh2 alishabh (@alishabh2) reported

    @Unit06 @hbomax It's awful to make fun or kids. There is never a need to "parody" a child.

  • ochristinao xtina (@ochristinao) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp i keep trying to load the app on a roku premiere but get an error that says "Close HBO Max. Sorry, but something caused the app to close. Please open the app and try again." I've rebooted the Roku, I've checked for app updates, and other apps work.

  • KenKnezz77 Idonthateyouyet (@KenKnezz77) reported

    @hbomax WORST STREAMING SERVICE OF ALL TIME!!!! LAG, LAG AND OH YES! MORE LAG! #BULLSHIT #RIPOFF #FUCKHBO

  • deevirgo590 Dana (@deevirgo590) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp Your tv app is malfunctioning. I have gone through all troubleshooting steps and it just continues to buffer. This needs to be addressed ASAP.

  • MDunham1967 M D (@MDunham1967) reported

    Why does @hbomax still suck? Great programming, objectively the shittiest slowest service and pic quality of all the streaming apps. Come for the content, stay for the buffering? What the ever loving ****?

  • simonIebong mina ❤️ (@simonIebong) reported

    @stopmak1ngsense @hbomax EXACTLY best catalogue by far and it’s just the worst made

  • AlexHanpeter2 Alex Hanpeter (@AlexHanpeter2) reported

    @hbomax where is it? help

  • STAYREADY_1 Stay.Ready (@STAYREADY_1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @no1important701 No HBOMax... your video scrubbing is horrible. Fix it! Everyone complains about it and it literally has nothing to do with what version, OS, etc. When trying to scrub a video to skip ahead, it freezes, locks up, etc. Whatever you're watching holds you hostage!

  • KevoWorld ✊🏿 (@KevoWorld) reported

    @hbomax c’mon fellas we gotta work on this app, we better than this 😩

  • juridiquechic k! Bert (@juridiquechic) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @chris_notcapn Don’t victim blame. What you trouble shooting? The app is trash. Start over.

  • BrittniLeigh Brittni Leigh (@BrittniLeigh) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @RealRickRage What was the fix here? Getting this same issue, reinstalled app several times

  • kryptoniansatyr Tony M Van Pelt (@kryptoniansatyr) reported

    Not sure if there’s an issue with my @Roku tv or if it’s the @hbomax and/or @AppleTV apps, but I’ve been having a lot of issues the last couple of days.

  • hannahkramer614 Hannah Kramer (@hannahkramer614) reported

    Hey @hbomax your app is super glitchy. As a paying customer, who do i speak to? I’ve done the updates, uninstall/reinstall, hard restart and still problems… UGH

  • crimsontent crimson tent (@crimsontent) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @STAYREADY_1 If your team is still somehow unaware about this universal issue they should all be laid off.

  • Synnaman LaRena (@Synnaman) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @chris_notcapn If you keep reading you will see Chris is not the only person having this problem. It should be fixed across the board.

  • realVGHistorian VGHistorian (@realVGHistorian) reported

  • NOTORIOUSKIN 𝒦. (@NOTORIOUSKIN) reported

  • xander6981 Nate Anderson 🏳️‍🌈 (@xander6981) reported

    @PageStealer @hbomax It's the worst. It keeps crashing on me and heaven forbid you want to rewind real quick because you missed something. That interface is so glitchy it's ridiculous.

  • simonIebong mina ❤️ (@simonIebong) reported

    @stopmak1ngsense @hbomax FIX YOUR ****

  • no1important701 Will Thomas (@no1important701) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Your rewind/fast forward function is broken on every version of your app. Everyone complains about it and it has never been fixed.

  • bouli_40 Bouli (@bouli_40) reported from Des Plaines, Illinois

    @HBO I’m glad you guys gave us an app to watch all these new movies that are coming out but @hbomax has to be the worst running app ever. Fix that **** yo!

  • BRiP1WZBWslUOUE Back to the 70s ,80s ,90s (@BRiP1WZBWslUOUE) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Have you ever thought about Why everyone eats meat and fatty foods, and only in America is obesity the number 1 threat? I know how to solve this problem.

  • GoodMorniiing caehlin 🔆 (@GoodMorniiing) reported

    half of the time its like 20 seconds too slow, the other half it just completely ignores sections of dialogue @hbomax pls fix ty

  • andrea9192 JR, Come Back (@andrea9192) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @MikeJonesMadden There are so many problems with the service, all it would take is a few HBO interns using the app and communicating the challenges. Everyone is pretty much experiencing the same thing so troubleshooting can take place in house. It's really bad. I'm getting rid of it.
