  • X0Z00 G.G Z❄️🦋 (@X0Z00) reported

    @hbomax why am I watching Rush Hour + people are saying what’s up my G and the captions say what’s up N-word w the hard R??? fix it.

  • stephensauceda Stephen (@stephensauceda) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I wait A MONTH. Same problem. I get back in touch. I tell them no matter what device it is, I get the error. I’m asked to do a bunch more steps that have no hope of fixing the problem. Change browsers, clear cookies, sign in/sign out/try again.

  • TheReal_ZMeyer Zach Meyer (@TheReal_ZMeyer) reported from Carmel, Indiana

    @peacockTV’s app on the PS4 is worse than @hbomax’s and that is an incredible feat. Pls fix

  • stephensauceda Stephen (@stephensauceda) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I contact support and I’m sent through some troubleshooting steps to try to solve but obviously have no hope of fixing the problem. Reboot my router? Sure… Finally I’m told my email has an active subscription. When it ends next month all will be fixed. Just wait. I waited. NOPE

  • pureunpicked 𝔎𝔞𝔱𝔞𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔞 (@pureunpicked) reported

    I would love for @hbomax @HBO to fix their app for the Samsung tv’s… 😰 it always crashes and I can’t open it for like 3 days???

  • kaitlinnie kaitlinnie (@kaitlinnie) reported

    @hbomax you app on Roku is complete garbage! I can’t even use it and it takes 15 minutes to log in just for it to crash. This app performs like it’s 2002. Yes I’ve reached out for help and no one is solving my problem

  • stephensauceda Stephen (@stephensauceda) reported

    Case in point: @HBOMaxHelp I’ve been having an error linking my HBO Max and YouTube TV (where I pay for HBO) accounts. Everything goes fine till I get to the point I have to verify the email address with a code. I enter the code and “Something went wrong”…

  • whatab4life Austin (@whatab4life) reported

    @HBOMaxSuporte @hbomax @HBO hey can you fix the audio sync on Rush Hour 2??? Please make it watchable!!

  • smiggiddy Mike Smith | 💻 🎸 (@smiggiddy) reported

    @AuthorWASimpson @hbomax That’s the error I’m getting. Nothing works . 🌚

  • JasonGreenSTL Jason Green (@JasonGreenSTL) reported

    Hey @HBOMaxHelp, the @hbomax app on @roku just keeps getting worse & worse. It just crashed on me five times trying to play a single episode of Sesame Street. I’d say it works maaaaybe 30% of the time during the day, slightly better at night. Is anything being done to fix this?

  • dathanb dathanb (@dathanb) reported

    @bmart517 @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax Yeah, my wife noticed that. If you force quit the app from the child profile and start it again, no PIN required to access the adult profiles. Luckily our children are too young to know how to use the remote yet, but this’ll be an issue for us before long.

  • kevyoung1214 Kevin Young (@kevyoung1214) reported

    @RonanFarrow @HBO @hbomax Ronan!! The likely hood of you seeing this is slim but retail investors need your help. AMC GameStop and a number of businesses are being shorted by hedge funds and traditional media is reporting on it. Have you heard of what’s going on in the stock market?

  • allirense Alli Teration (@allirense) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax Prime Video is the worst in my opinion!

  • stephensauceda Stephen (@stephensauceda) reported

  • michaelbartok Michael Bartok (@michaelbartok) reported

    @hbomax fix your bloated tv app! I keep having to delete other apps to make room for yours. I won't do that forever!

  • MARTINM32540810 MARTIN M (@MARTINM32540810) reported

    @hbomax @Roku I just signed up for hbomax. Do you guys realize your app on Roku sucks? I can open netflix or amazon in 2 seconds and the hbo max app takes over a minute. Go forbid I hit pause because then it bombs out. Fix this, please

  • iCavedMan Drew Hillebrand (@iCavedMan) reported

    @hbomax fix your app

  • jxpric3 Joshua Price (@jxpric3) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax It’s the worst of all of them IMO. And that includes Amazon Prime.

  • dathanb dathanb (@dathanb) reported

    @FrankMcG @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax You get a like for pointing out Amazon’s totally broken handling of multiple seasons. But HBO is still pretty mediocre (the app, not the content, to be fair) IMO. So slow and buggy on my Samsung smart TV.

  • Rjealous_5 Argelis “RJ” Plasencia (@Rjealous_5) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp there’s audio delays upon watching Space Jam 2, and not syncing right?! Please fix @RokuSupport whole thing acting up! #HBOMax #Roku

  • techguy John Lynn (@techguy) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax ESPN plus has to compete for the worst.

  • ngocbbuii bbqueen (@ngocbbuii) reported

    2 crash 2 furious !!!! @hbomax FIX YOUR APP

  • heyJTK JTK (@heyJTK) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax The interface on PS4 is also basically unusable

  • GrayMachop Machop (@GrayMachop) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax Amazon is the worst by a million miles. Looks hideous and discovery is impossible. HBO’s isn’t great, but it’s serviceable.

  • _libbsters libbathin (@_libbsters) reported

    @hbomax FIX YOUR APP SHEESH

  • edward_of_clt Eddie Herbert (@edward_of_clt) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax God I feel this. My HiSense Android tv has the app installed and I swear HBO Mac has some kind of memory leak because if I turn the tv off to stand by mode when I turn it back on my tv barely functions. @hbomax fix this!!!

  • colinrileycormi colin riley cormier (@colinrileycormi) reported

    @hbomax fix your streaming service. The set up needs some major improvements. The hmi menu is the worst and it’s constantly crashing.

  • campusevangel normal. (@campusevangel) reported

    @spacejammovie @hbomax Looks awful!

  • bonemorph 🌸bone morph🌸 (@bonemorph) reported

    Hey @paramountplus your app is absolutely trash and basically unwatchable. You and @hbomax are competing for worst possible user experience.

  • JasonGreenSTL Jason Green (@JasonGreenSTL) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No error message. The episode will start playing, then freeze or go black, then play for a few seconds without sound, then freeze again, then kick me out to the Roku home page. It’s not a network issue, I can immediately switch to Netflix/Prime/other competitors & they work fine.
