    @Station11onmax This is proof that @hbomax is winning the streaming wars - @netflix started to lose when it started focusing on quality over quantity

  • i_centaur IWasACentaurInAPastLife (@i_centaur) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It's a "Chromecast with Google TV" that had the issues. Seems like this is a common problem on multiple devices though, just speaking with people anecdotally

  • BryanInMo1 BryanInMo - GOP are cowardly Tr*mp ball lickers 💯 (@BryanInMo1) reported

    @hbomax I use a Roku model 4230X - the captions do not work for Mike & Molly. Please fix. Captions are spotty for some reason - some shows work, some don't. Very annoying.

  • smbvb12 smb12 (@smbvb12) reported

    @pattonoswalt @hbomax Nora from Queens wouldn't be the worst thing my junk has been called.

  • seffwithtwoeffs Seth (@seffwithtwoeffs) reported

    @pattonoswalt @hbomax My penis would be named Good Eats. Admittedly, it would work better if I had a vagina.

    @hbomax for the love of god please fix this app on Apple TV. This thing has more crashes more than a demolition derby.

  • MeanMug_Doug Doug Muggins (@MeanMug_Doug) reported

    Holy **** @hbomax has the shittiest streaming service of all! Unnecessary buffering leading to constant freezing, refreshing the page forces sign in again and the entire site is slower than frozen ****. God you guys are trash, how ******** am I supposed to watch anything?

  • nad1223 Nadia. (@nad1223) reported

    @sarahUnravelled @HBOMaxHelp Wait do you use your Hulu login then?

  • KDiesel63 Kevin DeAngelis (@KDiesel63) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi there - HBO Max is forcing me to link my accounts since it found my email address associated with HBO Go. It is not sending me a verification code via email (checked ALL mail folders). And HBO Go won’t let me change email address in profile. Help!

  • Ayahnolan31 Ashley Malanka (@Ayahnolan31) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No error messages. Just won't play any movies or TV shows.

  • Cardsfan410 Grant Davis (@Cardsfan410) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Trying to watch on my roku. If I push play on anything it'll attempt to load for a few minutes and then take me back to the previous screen. Started today. Help?

  • JaneRush924 Janell (@JaneRush924) reported

    @hbomax count your days! This app NEVER WORKS! I thought it was just me so I bought an unlimited WiFi package! STILL NOTHING! Then as I’m ranting to friends they have the same issues! Get it together!

  • CaptainAstro412 Captain Astro (@CaptainAstro412) reported

    @FernanDo61559 @hbomax Then why have such a staunch opinion on the quality of the show...? If anything I implore you to at least watch one episode, its super fun and a really good show. If you think he was the least interesting, this provides a whole lot of deepening context. Just one episode...

  • jeff_milano Jeff Milano (@jeff_milano) reported

    @MikeFechter @hbomax The quality sucks too

  • 414Pinky LeslieLauren (@414Pinky) reported

    @hbomax Remember Miranda told Steve, “You broke us” when he cheated on her? Sorry, but this show is a terrible letdown for the fans of SATC.

  • adam_ritchie13 Frank Drebin (@adam_ritchie13) reported

    @mahey_moksha @hbomax Yes there are many Indians who doesn't know proper English like spoken in america or England.. so they need a Hindi dub version there are many shows which gets unwatched due to language problem..
