Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Salute2ThePOWr Matt (@Salute2ThePOWr) reported

    Wow it took @hbomax 10 mins to play a 2 min commercial and then the show works just fine, doesn’t buffer at all.

  • BuildTheIkeDike JW (@BuildTheIkeDike) reported

    @hbomax The fact that you still can’t report issues in your app when the playback breaks 10+ times in row is just a classic example of how crappy your tech is. #StreamingWars

  • aikochristine Aiko Christine (@aikochristine) reported

    Wtf @hbomax s documentary division is being closed for @discoveryplus ‘s 🤢boomers can’t help but **** up streaming. If I wanted garbage reality shows I’d watch E or TLC

  • feetknives Kimbo🐈‍⬛ (@feetknives) reported

    @Jennbob4585 @hbomax Me too. I was planning to watch it this weekend when I finally had a day off work. 🤬

  • _doofy duane (@_doofy) reported

    why can't I re-pay for my subscription @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp? I keep getting error messages

  • HItoHTX SJ (@HItoHTX) reported

    Watching We Own This City on @hbomax and it’s only solidifying why a) I refuse to move to Baltimore where the co I work for is HQd, b) why we stopped having any trust in police a long time ago & c) @BaltimorePolice is *****, *****, *****.

  • ingloriousbaxtr IngloriousBaxter (@ingloriousbaxtr) reported

    Damn, @hbomax isn’t wasting any time going to **** after the discovery merger. And I thought we’d have at least one streaming service of quality 😢

  • SupTheGamer Sup Sadness (@SupTheGamer) reported

    @NeshBearWorks @HBOMaxHelp @ShammySmalls "buzz off with that validation" You should buzz off with other people that keep thinking psychopathically Disney will buy everything when they won't and cannot. You clearly forgot how laws work mouse boy. Wonder how you felt about their behavior in March huh.

  • TinaAKAMonkey Tina Dubya 🌈 (@TinaAKAMonkey) reported

    It's crazy to me that streamers like @netflix and @hbomax wonder why people aren't subscribing. Stop canceling good stuff!!! TIME traveler's wife? Already??? And Netflix is the worst offenser.

  • Tee52349776 Tee (@Tee52349776) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m still having issues on the Firestick since the update. Many movies don't load properly - the video gets stuck on the opening HBO logo even though the audio is still playing. The whole app has to be force closed.

  • EShy є.ѕну (@EShy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @Smith22Maria Translated: As we work to spam HBO Max with Discovery content no current subscriber wants to see, we decided to also remove the better quality content that was already there on our journey to completely trash the HBO brand.

    “If there is a God, its our work on this planet to undo all his destructive work.” - George Carlin The Carlin doc on @hbomax is sensational.

  • Jake_Tuck TUCKLEBERRY FINN (@Jake_Tuck) reported

    @hbomax how is it that you have the most expensive streaming platform, yet the functionality of it is the worst out of all of them? Figure it out.

  • moviemanstan Stan the Movie Man Fully Vaxxed and Boosted! (@moviemanstan) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m trying to watch Chernobyl The Lost Tapes but can’t find a way to turn off the audio description. I’ve rebooted my TV, uninstalled the app, changed my password and followed the description in the online help but to no avail. Suggestions?

  • Olaindeach Ailean Riepsaame Uí Dhubhthaigh (@Olaindeach) reported

    @robby_dendrons @HBOMaxHelp @discoveryplus It's a shame because HBO Max did some amazing quality work and now well Discovery+ is taking over.

  • the_sea_turtle Turtle (@the_sea_turtle) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I understand that you need to adjust the library of shows, but it would be nice if you could give your subscribers a warning before a show is removed. It would help avoid this type of disappointment. Thank you.

  • djariya Don Jariyasunant (@djariya) reported

    hey @HBOMaxHelp You guys made an error and posted the Spanish dub of #TheRaid2 There is no English track let alone the original Indonesian track.

  • phool Phil Gould (@phool) reported

    . @hbomax I was so excited to see The Raid, I was willing to sit through the awful English dub. Now you've got The Raid 2, and the only sound available is... the Spanish dub? Is this a prank? I promise you we're all fine with original audio and subtitles.

  • jajatwittsbong g (@jajatwittsbong) reported

    @hbomax how does your app still suck so ******* much after 2 years? Playback issue, subtitles arent working constantly freezing. Im not paying for this **** anymore and im going to steal everything i want to watch. **** your garbage app and your bum *** engineers.

  • ClintMorro Space Monkey (@ClintMorro) reported

    @hbomax Hey @hbomax why don’t you use the money you made off of cutting corners on the last season of GOT and fix your crappy app!

  • 1_darkarmy M. James (@1_darkarmy) reported

    @hbomax someone keeps hacking into my account. When I get an email that a profile was added or code sent, the "click here if you didn't request" option goes to a generic help page with zero resolution. I keep having to change my password. Why so easy to hack HBO Max?

  • Deb_CA4now DebC (@Deb_CA4now) reported

    @hbomax Watched it. Sorry Brad and Plan B...not your best work. Drawn out, over done. Find something else to watch.

  • Durpadu Leonard (@Durpadu) reported

    @hbomax please change how parental controls work and require a pin to ACCESS adult profiles There's nothing to stop kids from seeing content if they launch the app themselves; makes PIN to switch useless

  • SupTheGamer Sup Sadness (@SupTheGamer) reported

    @NeshBearWorks @HBOMaxHelp @ShammySmalls They are NOT getting bought by Disney even if you want them and try push for that, drop that mindset already. Discovery OWNS them and just BOUGHT them and Disney's business models actually predates them with different companies. You clearly forgot how business decisions work.

  • VultureVocals Abbey V ✨Commissions OPEN✨ (@VultureVocals) reported

    @CAnthonyAssoc @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp It’s very bizarre. It may be a coding issue, but I really have no idea what happened.

  • TMI_Institute The Mortal Institute 🧢 (@TMI_Institute) reported

    @hbomax is the third episode of the Menudo documentary not subbed? My closed caption is on but its not working for this episode.

  • LizzieOlseeeen Bia (@LizzieOlseeeen) reported

    @rayofwanda @hbomax ray doing gods work

  • BIGPussy_Energy Max Sinclair (@BIGPussy_Energy) reported

    HBO max is TRASH as **** like how have y’all not fixed issues in all this damn time @hbomax

  • gregoryraynal Gregory B Raynal (@gregoryraynal) reported

    @hbomax it doesn’t make sense how AWFUL your app continues to be. It’s easily the worst streaming app I’ve ever used, and I’ve used some awful apps.
