  • JenniferM_RN Jennifer Minnick (@JenniferM_RN) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax We are using the app on our tv but our whole cable just went out 😞 we thought it was an app issue. Thanks though!

  • JessIsNotOK1 Jess is on the Internet (@JessIsNotOK1) reported

    @hbomax please put the behind the scenes segments on your app as separate episodes, I'm so tired of having to navigate your broken app to get to the next Last of Us episode every week. Why is your platform so expensive and so terrible to use?

  • ImPotter Space Force Vet 🇺🇦 (@ImPotter) reported

    @donkeyjunkie @YouTubeTV Same problem on the @hbomax app… i think someone loaded the wrong tape in the vcr… metaphorically of course.

  • vando88 datdudevando (@vando88) reported

    @hbomax the app keeps skipping ahead to the next episode too early. on chromecast. turning off auto play doesnt work it still autoplays early. makes shows unwatchable

  • minosoar minosoar (@minosoar) reported

    It’s impossible to use @hbomax inflight. Downloading the shows before a flight is the biggest waste of data bc still does not work offline. Are you guys addressing this?

  • landocarlesien wawaweewa (@landocarlesien) reported

    @hbomax you guys REALLY gotta fix the iOS app. So buggy, slow, and doesn’t allow you to type using a keyboard

  • MackHardRd Htown vs tha 🌎 (@MackHardRd) reported

    Why @hbomax think ppl want to see that awful house party remake? 👎🏽

  • DaleDal82933501 Wear a Mask (@DaleDal82933501) reported

    @FlowerFishFrog1 @TheLastofUsHBO @hbomax I agree horrible script and the acting is terrible. Such a boring drawn out series. I don't like any of the characters

  • tanielizabeth21 Brittany Savage (@tanielizabeth21) reported

    @PrimeVideo I would love it if we could fix the audio description issue for season nine of #Smallville. I brought it to your attention about a week ago. When I have issues with other services like @hbomax the issue is fixed within 24 hours. Let’s make accessibility a priority.

  • WarrenPrice Warren Price (@WarrenPrice) reported

    @hbomax Bug report: Your subtitles are broken, when casting from IOS to Chromecast.

  • tdog268 tdog (@tdog268) reported

    @TheLastofUsHBO @hbomax Can anyone else watch it when I click on it it doesn't work

  • Les_The_Great Les (@Les_The_Great) reported

    My HBO Max randomly plays in Spanish and I can’t figure out how to fix it @hbomax

  • metalburrtio metalburrtio (@metalburrtio) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp hi I’m trying to sign in and it won’t let me even though it’s the same email and password as before on the Mobile app can y’all fix it

  • JohnWel15604142 John Wellington (@JohnWel15604142) reported

    @TheLastofUsHBO @hbomax Hard pass. My family and I are done with this piece of crap shoe. Absolutely awful. So boring.

  • gaffney_z Z Gaffney (@gaffney_z) reported

    Is any one HBO Max is down because I can't restore my family's HBO Max purchase and @hbomax I need help

  • kgomotso__momo Kgomotso (@kgomotso__momo) reported

    @hbomax y'all have no choice but to be available in southy, abanye abantu don't want to work

  • mschipperheyn 🇺🇦 Marc Schipperheijn (@mschipperheyn) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxSuporte Thanks. But all I really need is for you guys to fix your SamsungTV app. None of these issues exist on Netflix, Prime or Disney. Seriously, get your **** together. This is not a free service. We actually use our phone to transmit to the tv as a workaround.

  • chuckheffernan Defeat Traitor Trumplicans (@chuckheffernan) reported

    @hbomax @MarlonWayans What a TERRIBLE so called comedy special! Two hours of Marlon whining about nepotism not working his way! Proves his brother was right to hire Chris Rock instead a mediocre comedian like Marlon!!!

  • Talkingforfree Too late Marlene (@Talkingforfree) reported

    @succession @hbomax They are all awful people who I can’t help but root for. Especially Roman, Tom and Cousin Greg. Does that make me awful too?

  • londiey77 Londiey (@londiey77) reported

    @rose2justice @doitmuvaaa There is a documentary on @hbomax about children like this. These kids have serious psychological issues and I agree whooping won’t do anything to children like this.

  • Hoptoad4 Patty (@Hoptoad4) reported

    Anyone else having trouble getting into the @HBO @hbomax app to watch @TheLastofUsHBO? It keeps looping me back to, "CHOOSE A PLAN" and "RESTORE PURCHASE" but won't let me choose either. Worked fine last week.

  • MLGutierrez Michelle R Gutierrez (@MLGutierrez) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @minosoar Can you please just fix the issue for everyone instead of dealing with each individual complaint? The last time I was on a flight, you had the exact same response for me. I did what you said and guess what?? NADA

  • BcdaGR81 Crim Day La Crim (@BcdaGR81) reported

    HBO max app is terrible **** keeps stopping wtf @hbomax

  • MichaelDevrie33 Michael Devries (@MichaelDevrie33) reported

    @blackadamnews @hbomax @TheRock didn't fail DC, DC failed the rock.. no promotion trailer after one of their big dc universe movies to help the hype and they put it up against marvels black panther after chadwick boseman passing that's just dumb.

  • imtheantitwitt Patrick Sean (@imtheantitwitt) reported

    Also, @hbomax is the worst ******* app out there and no, I will not be taking questions at this time.

  • pj_howard Pat (@pj_howard) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Having the same issue. Have already done all the troubleshooting steps

  • Tomge TomGeorge (@Tomge) reported

    @spaceoutlydia @TheLastofUsHBO @hbomax What is your problem? Why don't you like the show? Why so quick with insults?

  • BlackxSpiderman moeseph jenkins (@BlackxSpiderman) reported

    @peacock The fact that your parent company switches the rights to Harry Potter between you & @hbomax is ONE THING ….but to have your service skip,pause and crash while watching is unacceptable and a bad experience #notpeacock

  • Usdanishgirl Abort SCOTUS 🇩🇰 (@Usdanishgirl) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why am I getting error code: S-df8bbae6-38a3-4ed5-bbae-56d90c3fc6c4-8e42f0a6-a63d-4194-f800-615850677cf9
