    @hbomax @velmatheseries It looks awful and cringe.

  • wardamnmegs Meghan with an H. (@wardamnmegs) reported

    @BWWMatt @ktrain_11 @hbomax The HBOMax public streaming license is prohibitively expensive. That’s the issue.

  • KillRBlue KillerBlue (@KillRBlue) reported

    @skjalfatime @hbomax @IamGabrielLuna If you don’t see the problem with that I don’t wanna waste my time explaining it, people so weak in this society that we gotta change race and appearance to original characters just to fit in with all these butthurt people. If he was black then keep him black!!

  • tryweirder Ben Greenspan (@tryweirder) reported

    @ADAMDEVINE Hey @hbomax can you fix this?

  • HelenaSimone_ Bougie ✨ (@HelenaSimone_) reported

    Sigh. When network television steals back all the good shows bc no writer or show runner will want to work with streaming no more bc y’all reversing deals ion wanna hear nothing! @netflix @hbomax @paramountplus

  • SolStar017 Sol (@SolStar017) reported

    Just saw the @hbomax Trailer for #Velma. The new one? TERRIBLE. Not gonna watch this because it literally takes a giant **** on everything that's Scooby doo. AND THEY DONT EVEN HAVE SCOOBY IN IT! and they turned the comments off! Shame on HBO, don't even hate watch it.

  • fromleu 𝐥𝐞𝐮… 💭 (@fromleu) reported

    @hbomax y'all really got to fix the NEXT EPISODE auto play... It cuts out the last 3 minutes of the prior episode??????????????????

  • aaron_lassiter Aaron Lassiter 🌵 (@aaron_lassiter) reported

    @hbomax @velmatheseries Literally awful at every point. @mindykaling is terrible and this atrocity is so clearly bad that you even turned off YouTube comments.

  • whiteywhackers whiteywhackers (@whiteywhackers) reported

    @DanDotLewis @hbomax A rather large error is the Tigers hosting the Yankees. The Tigers finished 1989 on the road. Also, the score of that game doesn't match October 1, but August 18, when the Tigers led 6-1 in the 7th. Strange!

  • kiki_istheNAME obeyKIKI⛩️ (@kiki_istheNAME) reported

    @hbomax @velmatheseries I hate littraly every single thing tjis show has to offer its all terrible. Clown *** ****** make **** nobody asked for

  • HitaxasTV Hitaxas (@HitaxasTV) reported

    @hbomax @velmatheseries This is awful. What is with the race swap going on with both Velma and Shaggy? It feels wrong. The direction of the characters in general feels wrong too. Not to mention the animation style clashes in multiple areas. This will be one I will pass on. Hate it.

  • ENEMYOFURLIES Enemy of Lies (@ENEMYOFURLIES) reported

    @hbomax @LamarJohnsonn I was looking forward to this but the app update yesterday broke the audio and forces captioning on. I really don't understand how your dev team consistently makes it worse when it has been the worst streaming app by a mile.

  • CollectiveBiz Chris (@CollectiveBiz) reported

    @steffbeenlit @HBO @hbomax Because outside of the first episode, it was an absolutely horrific, awful awful show that was just an attack on straight black men. I'm so glad it was canceled I hated with that show became. It was just a Trojan horse.

  • BWWMatt Matt Tamanini (@BWWMatt) reported

    @ktrain_11 @hbomax Very few restaurants/bars are set up for streaming because of internet connection and latency issues. Since every TV/streaming device is different and a different distance from router, it is almost impossible for them to be synced. So, it's just all a big mess right now.

  • JonHulett Jon Hulett (@JonHulett) reported

    @lesliegrace @JamesGunn FIX THIS. @hbomax guy

  • heavywaterball Dromax (@heavywaterball) reported

    @hbomax @velmatheseries This is awful

  • DrSarteschi Dr. Christine Sarteschi, LCSW (@DrSarteschi) reported

    @JonnyCinquo @hbomax I agree. It's terrible

  • nmprichards Noldude (@nmprichards) reported

    @getFANDOM @hbomax This looks awful

  • Dunn1216 Alex Dunn (@Dunn1216) reported

    @hbomax app is dogshit, one of the biggest problems is how you can't even get to the download section while offline. Lmfao.

  • MollieCahillane mollie cahillane (@MollieCahillane) reported

    @ktrain_11 @hbomax streaming services have different licenses than broadcast networks - basically bars need to pay for a commercial license to legally stream HBO Max (same thing with Paramount+ and the NWSL). it's a pretty new problem in a very quickly evolving sports streaming world

  • taeoct6 tae🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@taeoct6) reported

    @Glock_Topickz @hbomax This looks awful

  • JorRay257 Ray Reeves (@JorRay257) reported

    @hbomax @velmatheseries As HBO begins to hire folks from Disney+...the quality of programming begins to suffer

  • JoshuaGoodman52 Josh Goodman (@JoshuaGoodman52) reported

    Finally convince myself to sit down and watch The Menu on @hbomax and… the aspect ratio?? Wtf is goin on? Lol Am I tripping or has anyone else run into this problem

  • unrealtravis UnrealTravis (@unrealtravis) reported

    @ktrain_11 @hbomax This was always an issue with streaming only options. Most of the services don't offer a commercial option. God forbid you live in Virginia and the ABC enforcement shows up. They will fine you so fast.

  • CollectiveBiz Chris (@CollectiveBiz) reported

    @steffbeenlit @HBO @hbomax Plus the showrunner Misha Green was extremely toxic on set, she's a terrible show runner and I'm glad to see she isn't running a show anymore, she's burning bridges left and right

  • FlemingEdits Michael R Fleming (@FlemingEdits) reported

    @tropicostation @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp I see the same issue if I pull the film up in the HBO Max app on my iPhone.

  • PickledOnionFan daniel (@PickledOnionFan) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp hi I’m having audio/visual issues on a Samsung smart tv - they are out of sync!
