    @hbomax I’ve spent the last 20 minutes trying to watch HOTD - now I’m just pissed @Amazon & HBO It just kicks me completely out of the app but I can watch literally anything else. It’s a HOTD issue. #HouseOfTheDragonHBO #WasItGood #LostInterest

  • intriguingkept1 intriguingkeptin (@intriguingkept1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp looks like the issue is probably related to Amazon Fire TV somehow? Works fine for iPhone which is how I am forced to watch now. 😬

  • kaylin_bea kaylin (@kaylin_bea) reported

    @emma_potterhead @hbomax Second this. 90 mins with no response to the issue and no fix. Unacceptable.

  • Rando_Royale Shadowbox and double cross (@Rando_Royale) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @Chris_Ciaccia I'm having the same problem and now I gotta play technician to get it working again?

    So, @hbomax doesn’t work on my @amazon fire stick, but does work on my phone. Whose fault is that? #HouseOfTheDragonHBO

  • Monkman710 Crapgame (@Monkman710) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp 1030 pm and it still won’t work 🤬 you ruined my watch party thanks a lot 😡

  • greekfuzball Ian Chambers (@greekfuzball) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp can’t login, app won’t let me sign in… on both Apple TV and fire tv apps, so much for the @HouseofDragon premier 😢😢

  • kjmoe_ k.j.moe (@kjmoe_) reported

    @hbomax @HouseofDragon @amazonfiretv not an ideal night for your app not to work

  • ImeldaL79421578 ImeldaL (@ImeldaL79421578) reported

    @hbomax @hbomax should issue a refund to us since the app keeps crashing and we can’t watch it.

  • cusman78 Cameron Usman (@cusman78) reported

    @hbomax Why can’t @hbomax fix their streaming quality? What I am watching (E1 of #HouseoftheDragon) keeps changing color tones (contrast / brightness). Very distracting. Why can’t HBOMax have the technical quality & polish of Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney+ to name a few?

  • Josh_Dyno Josh (@Josh_Dyno) reported

    @2thewilberforce @HouseofDragon @hbomax I'm watching on my PC- I'm not having any issue with brightness. Saturation on the other hand.... why have they chosen such a bland, colorless pallet?

  • pennilarose Krystal Rose (@pennilarose) reported

    @hbomax It's not working after an hour 🙄

  • clinthughesmba Clint Hughes (@clinthughesmba) reported

    @hbomax Fix the app!!!!

  • chefboyarD83 The Beez Kneez (@chefboyarD83) reported

    @hbomax really gonna crash on Game of Thrones night
