    @HBOMaxHelp Girl 🙄✋🏾 the rewind don’t work on the fire stick, the iPad, & the iPhone

  • TooClose2Call Scottie C (@TooClose2Call) reported

    @HBO @hbomax One of the worst shows ever! Absolute garbage.

  • lasedog matt (@lasedog) reported

    @hbomax Seems to me that the folks who are familiar with the comics enjoyed the movie. I’m not a comic book person and thought the movie was just ok. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t something that I would ever watch again. I did think the giant Patrick as the bad guy was a bit corny

  • realltaxb Tristan (@realltaxb) reported

    @TheKushMeister @HBOMaxHelp @jaclynisis its funny i never had a problem… guess im lucky cause alot of people seem to be having them

  • HCHTBears Justin Fields’ second cousin 2x removed (@HCHTBears) reported

    Respectfully, the app sucks. How does every show buffer and crash? @hbomax

  • judyyalmond Judy (@judyyalmond) reported

    Quite literally just paused HBO Max and had to re-login. Fix it @hbomax

  • BJ_DeWalt Bakari Jr 🤴🏾 (@BJ_DeWalt) reported

    @hbomax fix your damn app

  • ABaumSquad A.P. Baumer (@ABaumSquad) reported

    @hbomax why am I paying for this app if it's just gonna crash every time I try to watch?

  • xi_zhutou Xitler.jingpin (@xi_zhutou) reported

    @hbomax Worst movie of all time

  • PatrickHoffman7 Patrick Hoffman (@PatrickHoffman7) reported

    @hbomax it’s really cool when I pause a movie and then your app just refuses to play it or anything else again. “Can’t play title.” “Restart the app.” Cool advice. Didn’t work.

  • SinnerEllaDeVil 🌈🌈Blue Lives Aren't A Thing🌈🌈 (@SinnerEllaDeVil) reported

    Also, award for worst ever user experience for streaming goes to @hbomax for their service never working properly, dayor night. More than 30 minutes to watch 18 minutes of a damn movie.

  • KodaFett Cody Banning (@KodaFett) reported

    @hbomax , like, are you okay? What has been up with your ineptitude the last few days? Are you trying to work as well (poorly) as @disneyplus ? Sorry, D+. It's not just an abbreviation. That's how well you work oftentimes.

  • SABAMAK2 SABA (@SABAMAK2) reported

    @hbomax has one of the worst streaming platform every. U try to do one thing and they shits themselves

  • gabkby i just work here (@gabkby) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HAL0LESS Please also fix the subtitles/closed captioning. They’re like 30 seconds early most of the time :)

  • kathleenobean Kathleen M (@kathleenobean) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why does your app continue to not work on Roku? It's fully updated, internet connection is fine...and yet we have barely been able to watch anything in over a month.

  • chief113 kod (@chief113) reported

    @HBO @hbomax This is why people don’t like critics. Terrible show.

  • SwiftWitRage St. Anger (@SwiftWitRage) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thank you for the response! I actually went through and tested my devices and the issue I mentioned is happening on the Roku devices. Is it an issue specific to those?

  • bdbphoto82 B (@bdbphoto82) reported

    @DSgamby @MollyBOfficial @hbomax Gotcha… yeah I can’t speak on Crave. It works fine on the HBO Max app directly, so I guess it’s an issue with Crave?

  • JeremyMElliott Jeremy Elliott (@JeremyMElliott) reported from Huntsville, Alabama

    I used to think @disneyplus was the absolute worst about crashing on my @roku but @hbomax has replaced it as the bane of my existence.

  • thatGIOkid Giovani Mercado (@thatGIOkid) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @SwampChompBlog This is a common problem for ALL don’t make it seem like it is the tv when in fact it is the APP!

  • unique_exemplar Josh (@unique_exemplar) reported

    Hey @hbomax I downloaded 4 movies and all 4 you're "having trouble playing this title". What gives?

  • MoltingUterus69 SHADOWCAT (@MoltingUterus69) reported

    I’m not sure we can solve any real problems but it does seem likely we can come together to collectively shame @hbomax into changing its interface and I think that’s…something

  • JDBoost PaQueMeInvitan (@JDBoost) reported from Bronx, New York

    @hbomax fix your damn UI on everything. Useless

  • cheetahgirl666 crouton (@cheetahgirl666) reported

    The @hbomax app is slow as hell and honestly the worst streaming service I have bc of how poorly the ps4 app performs 😤😤

  • carlovescar IV for Vendetta (@carlovescar) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the app constantly says “that title cannot be played right now” and I have to close and restart. Any help?

  • DSgamby Dan Sgambelluri (@DSgamby) reported

    @bdbphoto82 @MollyBOfficial @hbomax Yep. Crave owns the rights to HBO, Showtime and Starz shows. If there are apps for US networks like Netflix. It is stripped down. Molly probably has the HBO Max app but it probably won't work in Canada unless she uses a VPN and I am not sure if they are accessible to her.

  • angelamromack Angela Romack (@angelamromack) reported

    At this point, you're just trolling us with thee absolute worst app functioning. @hbomax. I JUST WANT TO REWIND 10 SECONDS, NOT START THE SHOW OVER. #SmallTownNewsHBO

  • NatahannaS Natahanna (pokie) (@NatahannaS) reported

    @VanJones68 @hbomax Well I'm looking for some healing. The inmates are not the only ones that suffer when a loved one is in an institution. The wives, moms, daughters, sons. Just bcuz they are the ones doing time doesn't mean they are alone, we are all in a prison of sorts. HELP! HELP!! HELPPPPP!!!

  • DaSageee #WLB (@DaSageee) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp your app doesn’t work on the Roku tv and its been like this for like 3 months. I need a refund!
