    @GameOfThrones @hbomax Truly disappointed in a show that we thought was one of the best. Chances of rewatching this is low because u know how terrible it ends. Nobody was expecting a fairytale Disney ending. But damn that was a terrible ending . Only the ending of the TV show LOST might’ve been worst.

  • ThenotfakeDavid Dr. David R. (@ThenotfakeDavid) reported

    @hbomax Normally I'd watch something on your app, but considering half the **** doesn't have sound for some reason, guess I'll find something else. Tried everything on your site to fix. About 3 seconds away from cancelling the service completely. Your SMS Chat "help" was a ******* joke.

  • pigjedi thepigjedi (@pigjedi) reported

    If the Doc. Exterminate All Brutes on @hbomax dosen't make you feel a certain way about humanity.... you are broken. I have a feeling we were all taught history very, very wrong.

  • breaver1 breaver (@breaver1) reported

    @GameOfThrones @hbomax Even HBO can’t post high resolution video on Twitter. That’s called Twitter equality of low quality video privilege. Everyone is in equally poor state.

  • WickedSkippy Nicholas Busch (@WickedSkippy) reported

    @hbomax able to watch other stuff, not able to watch Godzilla vs Kong because it stops for a second or 2 every 10 seconds. Anyone else having this issue?

  • lil_nauseous lil' lil (@lil_nauseous) reported

    Hey @HBO and @hbomax why do your websites and streaming apps always glitch? Like, always always? I pay the most for your service and am consistently let down by the quality of your streaming (which sucks because your content is great) 😐

  • WC_Shelton William Shelton (@WC_Shelton) reported

    @hbomax i am freaking begging to get your **** in order. EVERY GOD DAMN THING i try to watch needs to stop and buffer like every 12 seconds.

  • TonyBerner1 Tony Berner (@TonyBerner1) reported

    @PrimeVideo I subscribed to @hbomax and I am still being told when I try to login that my account is not active. Please advise.

  • RecIusiveRacer Angel Rivera (@RecIusiveRacer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp been getting a lot of error codes today. What is happening? Most recent service code: H-1b4bc87c-a317-47c0-ec01-a0d6688ddfdd

  • CosmicKing_Thor King Thor ⚡️ (@CosmicKing_Thor) reported

    @randomman217 @GameOfThrones @hbomax 6 movie length Emmy award winning episodes that were extremely high quality and the rest of the story was given to them by GRRM. They didn't get fired from sw, they took a $100M payday from Netflix to make shows instead.

  • JamesGi30624171 James Gideon (@JamesGi30624171) reported

    @hbomax Can you make your app suck less. It's constantly buffering and I dont have any issues with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+ or Discovery+ so maybe look into something less ****.

  • sarahbarsom_ sarah.barsom (@sarahbarsom_) reported

    @BarchieUpdates @WriterRAS @hbomax I want to know why the world this thought even exists. Like seriously, fix yourself. Why would you ship b*rchie? I am discusted.

  • AEM_Marshall aem 🇺🇸 (@AEM_Marshall) reported

    @hbomax Fix the gray line on the right side of my tv...please

  • JonBlaire Jon Blaire #FBR #Resist 🌹🌊✌💙🎶 (@JonBlaire) reported

    @donnaleeforte @HBO @hbomax They're horrible. Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, and Amazon all work great with my cable box. But the one app I get through my cable company doesn't work. Ridiculous.

  • ZELDASBABYDADDY M.C. (@ZELDASBABYDADDY) reported

    @hbomax Your app on samsung tv has a full length gray bar down the side of the picture during playback, just started this week. Very distracting. App is up to date and even tried reinstalling it. Needs a fix

  • ThenotfakeDavid Dr. David R. (@ThenotfakeDavid) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp, I'd love to watch something on your app, but half of it doesn't have sound. Tried everything on your site to fix. About 3 seconds away from cancelling HBO Max. Your SMS Chat "help" is a ******* joke. Sent my phone number, but not expecting an actual call.

  • _kalexandria k a y l y n✨ (@_kalexandria) reported

    why does your app force quit after every single episode?! fix this!!! @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp

  • ThenotfakeDavid Dr. David R. (@ThenotfakeDavid) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Forget it. I went on Reddit to figure out the issue.

  • PuertoBlack3001 PuertoBlack (@PuertoBlack3001) reported

    @GameOfThrones @hbomax Bran the broken?? Really?

  • Latashio Lastashio (@Latashio) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp have you guy's tried resetting your routers/modems SO YOUR SERVICE WILL WORK WITHOUT BUFFERING or investing in servers that aren't from the 90s? $15 a month to watch a loading bar, you guys are the tv service comparable to the elevator ride in Mass Effect

  • dekaywood Danny (@dekaywood) reported

    @marcmaron @hbomax Does it give any ideas to those who need help getting others out who are stuck in that world?

  • KAKARLLS Karl Jean 😈 (@KAKARLLS) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I just exit the show and restart it and it plays as normal. The error just shows up randomly in the middle of the show.

  • GatorEdge15 Gator (@GatorEdge15) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yes hello I have a small problem, when I watch your service on my Ps4 it takes for ever to load the next episode it works perfectly fine on my Ps5 and Roku but not on my Ps4 do you know why this happens?

  • nealskyBBN Nealsky (@nealskyBBN) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Any idea when the issue with Samsung TVs will be fixed?

  • ThatGeralT Gerald (@ThatGeralT) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Seems to be working for now. What is wrong?! I turn off wifi, works fine at home, go to work - it gives errors :/

  • kate_fried Kate Fried (@kate_fried) reported

    @marcmaron @hbomax I couldn't sleep, so I started watching it after I saw this post. Holy cow, what an insane rabbit hole. I need to tear myself away to do work, but I will certainly be thinking about this for a while.

  • BlackSabbath22 Dr. \../ (@BlackSabbath22) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still no fix for the white bar? Let's all cancel until fixed

  • bflgoldberg Ben Goldberg (@bflgoldberg) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have sent a private message. The white line glitch is still happening for me. Any update on when this will be fixed? It has been not working for about two weeks now. Thanks!

  • KnightHawk882 Knight Hawk (@KnightHawk882) reported

    @hbomax Can you please fix your buffering @hbomax
