  • WilloSF WilloVision (@WilloSF) reported

    @dmellitz @HBOMaxHelp @mgsiegler Oh gods 100%. They managed to fix playback from crashing the app but all other useful features have been next. Put back of the Apple API. What is the problem here? Somebody’s ego? It’s certainly not functionality efficiency.

  • KamenRiderFurry KamenRiderFurry (StarCaesar Fanclub Captain) (@KamenRiderFurry) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp finally has stuff I wanna watch and the apple tv controls are broken. Wonderful.

  • JamesOnTrack James Aslaksen (@JamesOnTrack) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Just got the latest tvOS update and the crazy scrubbing issue has at least been resolved. But the new 💩 UI persists, doesn’t allow skip +/- 10 secs & pauses playback while choosing subtitles, among other things. Still a downgrade vs the native API, not a “delight” as promised!

    @hbomax fix the Apple TV app, uglies.

  • gkra Gregory Ruiz-Ade (@gkra) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp By "unfortunately created issues" you mean "made using HBOMax a horrifically bad experience", right?

  • IsaacsHauntedB Isaac's Haunted Beard (@IsaacsHauntedB) reported

    @SeanNarrates @hbomax Streaming's so infuriating sometimes. It's weird cuz, I think different people have had awful experiences w/ different platforms. I wonder if location matters? I live in Hawaii & HBO Max plays perfectly for me, but Shudder has always been ******. Others have no problem w/Shudder.

  • Elvalle9561 Elvalle956 (@Elvalle9561) reported

    @hbomax I'll restart my subscription when you fix your app.

  • CabbyJr @cabbyjr (@CabbyJr) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp For some reason, this movie is not working on our TV! Other movies will stream but this one won't! We use Comcast! Any known issues with that service happening? #DoTell

    @hbomax why does your app always glitch!!!

  • trevoclark Trevor Clark (@trevoclark) reported

    @hbomax you broke the ******* Apple TV app. When are you going to fix it?

  • jubuloo the rAv (@jubuloo) reported

    .@hbomax your new Apple tvOS app update is terrible. Consider focusing on content and use the proper SDKs from companies who focus on software and UX.

    @jordannwelchh @HBOMaxHelp My account got same similar issue.. i contacted support services but they wouldn’t help me...I got referred to globaltec_consultant on Instagram and they were so helpful and reliable. Am sure they can help

  • LansburySue Sue Ellen Lansbury (@LansburySue) reported

    @hbomax Imagine paying for a service that doesn’t even work

  • DutchWasTaken DutchDutch (@DutchWasTaken) reported

    @hbomax Hey HBO! My service has been stuck in spanish with no way to change it. I called HBO Max support and they were no help. Please fix the issue!

  • Alairthephoenix Alair Abernethy (@Alairthephoenix) reported

    @starwynd @hbomax no kidding. Constant problems. CC doesn't work and when it does it's highly out of sync with the video

  • C3A___ III. (@C3A___) reported

    @hbomax bro y’all app is terrible

  • TheLabAthletiCC The Lab Athletic (@TheLabAthletiCC) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Whose “bright” idea was it to update and change the interface of the play, pause, rewind and fast-forward features on @hbomax ? It’s unusable. You can’t use it AT ALL on Apple TV’s. You go to rewind or skip forward 10 seconds and it skips and slides 7 minutes back and

  • attilathehoneyb shannon (@attilathehoneyb) reported

    @MosesStorm @hbomax So like, I was there and the BH has a plumbing problem they should really get looked at... But, other than that, great show!

  • mrloPez9208 Micheal lopez (@mrloPez9208) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It didn’t help at all

  • JisherFimbo Fimbo Jisher (@JisherFimbo) reported

    @hbomax Why is your terrible app not working?

  • TheLabAthletiCC The Lab Athletic (@TheLabAthletiCC) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp mechanics and basics of the actions. This needs fixed/patched/changed/updated immediately. It’s not hard. Idk how this even passed testing. It’s like scrubbing on YouTube, or old school phone videos, but worse. It’s 2021, please do 2021 things. Please fix.

  • eussojbad eussojbad (@eussojbad) reported

    @hbomax FIX THE DAMN APP!!!! I can’t rewind, fast forward or even PAUSE!!! Don’t ruin my only will to live

  • thirdmonster steven rogers (@thirdmonster) reported

    @hbomax New HBOmax player (Apple TV 4K) broken. Can’t pause without “slipping” fwd/bkwd on timeline. Can’t skip forward/backward by 15 sec (no option and Siri is disabled if you ask “what did he say?” She won’t backup and turn on subtitles). Aesthetically off-putting interface.

  • RandomKnowledg8 Random Knowledge (@RandomKnowledg8) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Snyder cuts banner mentioned as dolby vision and 5.1 and it plays correctly Conjuring 3 banner mentioned Dolby Vision/Atmos and playing a bad copy of dolby vision (never seen worst dolby vision content than this) dolby atmos not playing

  • stelkbusta stella lopez (@stelkbusta) reported

    @AJemaineClement @TheCW @hbomax Why didn’t you work on Shsdows season 3? Were you just too busy?

  • mynameischapel My Name Is Chapel (@mynameischapel) reported

    .@hbomax please fix your busted *** PS4 app

  • TheLabAthletiCC The Lab Athletic (@TheLabAthletiCC) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thank you very much for your reply. I hope it is fixed soon. There are bigger issues in the world, yeah, yeah I know. But my time is precious for a product a pay for expecting to work as advertised, especially from such a major company as you. So, thank you for taking the time.

  • Tee52349776 Tee (@Tee52349776) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The Amazon Firestick and Roku devices are also having problems. We are getting multiple error messages when using autoplay, as well as having problems rewinding and fast forwarding. The app also sometimes freezes when an episode ends and doesn't go back to the home screen.

  • pillowcutter Pillow (@pillowcutter) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp While you’re “hard at work” trying to fix something that you broke on purpose, will I get a refund for my subscription? Because I’m currently paying for an app that does not work.
