    @LastWeekTonight John, please use your Hollywood pull to get @hbomax to fix their app. Haven't been able to cast your show in weeks. And it's ONLY your show. I can stream everything else, but it seems like their trying to hide you 🤔

  • econliberal Francisco (@econliberal) reported

    @HBOMaxLA Take a look @WarnerMedia and @hbomax and try to see a movie with that bug, where the subtitles don't fix at all in a proper manner in the screen. Please, expand the subtitles box to allow a correct alignment of them, fix the app. Thank you.

    @hbomax better be running @gracehelbig a fat check for all this character work in Jellystone! I’m so proud of someone I’ve never met??

  • stuchbery stuchbery (@stuchbery) reported

    I think the idea of an adult cartoon about the royal family is funny but the execution of #ThePrince on @hbomax is awful. It’s not funny, smart or interesting. It’s just so so bad

  • Ogman Ogman (@Ogman) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @dka78 Your app sucks. FIX IT!

  • sl1ghtlyh1gher Name could not be blank (@sl1ghtlyh1gher) reported

    @ninjamonkey75 @Brittne63276208 @hbomax I stream through my phone and then broadcast. Haven't had that issue yet

  • BuonopaneJoe joe buonopane (@BuonopaneJoe) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi I am having trouble watching Gomorrah in original Italian on HBO max. For some reason the dubbed version is only available. I'm watching on Xfinity cable service. Any idea when this will be fixed.

  • 0ok 0ok (@0ok) reported

    @JunipersBird @KingRichardFilm @hbomax ...worst take!

  • portman65 chris savage (@portman65) reported

    @hbomax has to be the worst streaming service . The content is great but trying to fast forward or rewind is a chore that doesn’t work most of the time .

  • MoultonHawk 𝙼𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚘𝚗𝙷𝚊𝚠𝚔 (@MoultonHawk) reported

    @hbomax It’s not the portrayal of the children it’s the sick and mean ageism. I’m shocked it’s so dang mean. The mean jokes are repetitive, but the ageism is so dang awful. Shocked it got green lighted honestly. Smart idea, poor execution

  • Renae131 Renae M. (@Renae131) reported

    @thatdanstevens @hbomax @GaryJanetti This wasn’t funny. Derivative stories & satire attempts fail badly. You know when stand-up comedians milk a topic for too long causing the audience to start yawning & texting—You hit that point at about 10 sec into ep 1. Booze doesn’t help. The Simpsons & South Park are safe.

  • Ogman Ogman (@Ogman) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Just wondering how your service, on my Nvidia Shield, manages to be the ONLY app that will not play the sound through my wireless earbuds. How does your app get to be that special??? Any advice on how to fix this???

  • fabiomalmegrin Fábio Malmegrin (@fabiomalmegrin) reported

    @hbomax @hbomax your Samsung tv app has so many problems… it pisses me off… when are you going to fix it????

  • RK1RepoMan Matthew Dudley (@RK1RepoMan) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can’t get hbo max to play on my roku. Can you help?

  • LisaCampo Lisa Campodall'Orto (@LisaCampo) reported

    Why is the @hbomax streaming service so crappy? Is anyone else having problems? My other streaming services are fine. This one buffers, is out of sync, it's a mess. It always has been.😤

  • amor_monie 🌻💋 (@amor_monie) reported

    I need @hbomax to fix this damn app! It shouldn’t take 30 minutes to get my program started 🙄

  • SamBeckitt Sam Beckitt (@SamBeckitt) reported

    @Islandgirlpixie @hbomax What nonsense. These are NOT just "some children of famous people". These kids are LITERALLY the GOVT, period. THE PEOPLE have a right to challenge & mock their govt. This wouldn't be an issue if Brits let the people CHOOSE their head of state, instead of grooming them at birth.

  • LongBlackMamba the king (@LongBlackMamba) reported

    @Audreeloyal5 @hbomax I faced similar problem, and the support term never responded until I finally got help from @techexpert202 on Instagram, he’s a complete genius text him for help pretty sure he can help you

  • ShawnHeilemann Shawn (@ShawnHeilemann) reported

    @hbomax i don’t know if you all know this, but your app crashes my Roku almost every time I try to watch anything. Any advice to fix this problem?

  • SnakeTaleJohnny 𝕂𝕪𝕝𝕖 𝕁𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕤 (@SnakeTaleJohnny) reported

    hey @hbomax fix your goddamn app

  • LeishLucas lucas Leish (@LeishLucas) reported

    @Unit06 @hbomax Have you actually watched it yet? I thought it might be good fun, like Family Guy etc but it's awful. Not funny @ all. It's crass & boring. But if u like it let us know

  • AldousHaring AldousHaring (135k) top % Only Fans (@AldousHaring) reported

    @marinafang your ‘wokeness’ is actually thinly veiled prejudice. Calling The White Lotus ‘rich white people problems’ creates a divisiveness you use to only support your narrative. Uplift AAPI story telling without tearing down other peoples stories! @hbomax #TheWhiteLotus

  • NateKnows NATE KNOWS Reviews #THEFUTUREISALLOFUS (@NateKnows) reported

    @fboyisland @hbomax @NikkiGlaser So when will they make a show called FGIRLS ? .. answer never because they say that will be objectifying women but it's okay to do it with guys another example of the work double standard.
