    @Luiz_Fernando_J @BlackMajikMan90 one thing I have against @hbomax is that we tried several times to watch the movie on Sunday and it didn't work... I've heard other people having the same problem. They need to do something and fix this issue.

  • olvera_aj AJ Olvera (@olvera_aj) reported

    @CurtisSports91 @hbomax My major problem is when I’m watching something and it constantly says “cannot play this title” and it’s annoying

  • jaxmacmullen jack (@jaxmacmullen) reported

    @brgridiron @MicahhParsons11 @hbomax While you are at it, have the barber shave that awful attempt of a beard, young buck.

  • rosecolorboy_ a rat 🐀 (@rosecolorboy_) reported

    @hbomax YALL SOME CRUTSY *** ******* FOR NOT LETTING ME STREAM AND HAVE IT BUFFER EVERY TWO DAMN SECONDS **** YALL

  • TwistNHook TwistNHook (@TwistNHook) reported

    @JohnErikFraker @CNHarder @hbomax It’s a fun comic book movie. Large portions make no sense but it doesn’t take itself seriously. Would recommend. Watched the first one on my tv and that was probably the worst comic book movie I’ve ever seen. Would recommend seeing in a theatre bc of the giant screen

  • Tyler_Hoffman14 Hoffy (@Tyler_Hoffman14) reported

    @hbomax I would like for you to freeze my monthly subscription until the app is working properly. I can't even re-sign in to my account after reinstalling the app because error codes keep popping up. Your app sucks.

  • eggheadtron young_nick (@eggheadtron) reported

    @hbomax Help #SaveManifest

  • Jperricelli Johnny (@Jperricelli) reported

    @JackWilliamRtF @hbomax is a complete joke lmao. literally unusable most days

  • MyMirrorLies CHENZO (@MyMirrorLies) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @yoo_johnnyy While you're at it @HBOMaxHelp, "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down" has a bad syncing up issue. The dialogue comes seconds after they move their lips. Watching through Roku.

  • RealGeneralZod The Real General Zod (@RealGeneralZod) reported

    @HBO @hbomax If the New Yorker liked it, it must be awful.

  • nashiscash Nash Stanton (@nashiscash) reported

    @hbomax fix your ******* app. Making people pay for a subscription and it rarely works.

  • manatarms2032 manatarms2032 (@manatarms2032) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'm not sure if this has been reported or not but the "Skip Intro" feature on Apple TV is not working. It seems to have broken several app updates ago. Currently running iOS 14.7 and the most updated version of the HBO Max app (50.40.1).

  • jleonard777 🚀🏝jeff (@jleonard777) reported

    @jiggletop @hbomax I did all that and it still was spotty, finally got it to stream but it’s still the only one that gives me issues, Peacock too.

  • tylervillle white boy rick (@tylervillle) reported

    With all the **** tweeted about @hbomax you’d think they would do something about their awful interface.

  • daisykarinaxo Karii (@daisykarinaxo) reported

    @JackWilliamRtF I can’t watch HBO max on my phone anymore cause every couple minutes there’s a pop up that says “you’re using cellular data” or something along those lines.. so annoying! Like yes it’s okay that I’m using my data. I know. @hbomax fix this

  • shawn49693445 shawn (@shawn49693445) reported

  • zachlien Zach Lien (@zachlien) reported

    Hey @hbomax and @PrimeVideo , are you both competing to see who can make the worst streaming app possible?

  • AlwaysKada 𝕆𝕦𝕒𝕚𝕥 𝕖𝕟 𝕔 ☁️⋅ 𝕠𝕣𝕓𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 (@AlwaysKada) reported

    @knowleskravitz @hbomax The way i’ve been watching all their shows ill*g*lly to avoid that terrible interface

  • CNHarder Christianne Harder (@CNHarder) reported

    @JohnErikFraker @TwistNHook @hbomax I dug it. I physically had an issue with the starfish imagery (it just made me queasy) but I enjoyed it. We watched the first one after, and agreed the second one is just better story telling

  • HammerStamp Jake (@HammerStamp) reported

    @JayBeeMcT @HBOMaxHelp @chris_notcapn Use the circle pad thing instead of the rewind button (you shouldn’t have to, your rewind button SHOULD work but that’s been getting us by until then) you can just tap it forward or backward and it stops with each push. Then hit play.

  • glass0fmilk kevin. (@glass0fmilk) reported

    @hbomax fix your subtitle options the moving all over the screen closed captions ******* suck

  • obosaruemen 𝕂𝕒𝕟𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕚 𝕕𝕠𝕛𝕚 🗯 (@obosaruemen) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp please we need a smoother experience in the app … sometimes rewinding or fast forwarding crashes the whole app… skip intro doesn’t work just a lot of kinks here and there.

  • TimbroSlice Slim Duncan (@TimbroSlice) reported

    Why is @hbomax the worst app of all time? I mean, it NEVER works!

  • CurtisSports91 Chris Curtis #⃣9⃣1⃣🏒 (@CurtisSports91) reported

    Does anyone else have insane problems loading @hbomax
