    Dear @hbomax and @NOWTV - why can't I download The Pitt onto my iPad to watch on a flight tomorrow? Is it a glitch with the new platform on Now TV, is it a problem with this series or is this simply unavailable for download for Now TV Subscribers?

    I’m done with @hbomax. Service doesn’t work then when I contact them for a refund they tell me they don’t do refunds. Real great business practices. #AEWRevolution

    @hbomax the only thing your Harry Potter documentary should cover is how you didn’t have a budget for light bulbs. You have 6 months. Lighten the movie. It’s so dark the trailer looks awful. It’s giving everyone too dark game of thrones feeling. Shoot the show so we can see it.

    @addievervale @hbomax maybe a stupid question but are you logged in? it still says sign in/sign up in the corner. some websites are weird and after you sign up it doesn't automatically bring you into your account, you have to sign in separately. it makes no sense 😭 i can see all the eps on my acct!

    @patrizated @SeanRossSapp @hbomax You must be one of the lucky ones all I’m getting on my android tv is a loading symbol and on my Amazon fire cube 30 seconds behind on audio looks like I’m putting up with the audio issue

    @hbomax @DCOfficial I am huge DC fan since childhood i grew up watching DC And Green Lantern is one of the core parts of DC and Justice League. After watching Trailer i do not have much hope for this project at all. It might be good. Idk what problem does James Gunn have with special effects why he uses physical suits. Especially in Green Lantern. Zack Snyder made better looking Green lantern in his backyard with his iPhone . Green lanterns are space corps why the hell they gave us grounded story.

    @hbomax I was hoping that the video quality of your sport stream on TNT would improve now you are in charge. Why is the image quality so bad compared to Sky and Amazon Prime? I am paying a lot for HBOmax with TNT sport and the image quality on TNT is rubbish compared to others

    @wbd @HBO @hbomax Congratulations! Thanks to you, the entire Harry Potter franchise has become a laughingstock. Every day there are mocking edits, and you don't care about these complaints at all! You're awful, absolutely awful!

    @aaronrift @hbomax I had a lot of problems with authenticating devices as well. My TV was the last that worked. Ruined opening match for me. PPVs looks amazing in Dolby Vision, so I'll stick with it. I'd make Dynasty $19.99 for subscribers and purchasers of Revolution. Make it right.

    @marykayfabe @hbomax @AEW Was able to get it to work on a laptop. Usually we watch on the Max app on Xbox, but it wouldn’t work. Never had that issue before. Hopefully it’s an isolated incident

    Hey @hbomax y’all need to fix your app! At the very least, add a restart option to episodic shows. Spoilers and having to hit rewind is just bad UX!

    My @hbomax audio is about 10 seconds behind the action and I have no idea how to fix it #Aewrevolution

    @hbomax you know this isn’t going to work right??? Why do you guys feel the need to do this to beloved characters for? #BlackSnape

    I really hope that if they're going to be buying @hbomax which is an app that actually works on smart tvs, that @paramountplus will revamp their app, which is the worst app on the planet. Literally only app we have issues with constantly for no reason.

    She knew what he was capable of. She asked for help. She tried to stop it. But without a crime, no one would intervene. And she was left waiting, knowing something terrible might happen. Watch “Evil Lives Here: My Child The Killer” Tuesday on ID and stream on @HBOMax. #EvilLivesHere

    On March 15th I ordered @AEW REVOLUTION from @hbomax. The stream did NOT work that night. There are still posts on here confirming that. I paid 42.19. I had to purchase the stream from Amazon so I was out another 50 dollars. I asked for a refund that night. Because I purchased

    @hbomaxhelp @MMoneyCarson Your app is super frustrating. It gets stuck at the ad break and loops without moving on. Restarting is not a great fix. It seems like a glitch at your end, how about posting something helpful about this instead of making customers troubleshoot?
