  • Goldxn_Violin Jo🌺🎬(Dr Who era) (@Goldxn_Violin) reported

    Ok so apparently there’s a frame rate problem with a lot of HBO Max shows being interloped to have a higher frame rate including Doctor Who, Billy and Mandy, Larry Sanders, etc. @hbomax wtf?

  • Carretino18 Carretino  (@Carretino18) reported

    @hbomax @mindykaling The worst of all is that they want to put it as a new version of Scooby Doo, when all it has is a Velma that is almost unrecognizable.

  • j_walny Jwall (PICKETT SZN) (@j_walny) reported

    Hey @HBOMaxHelp i want to watch the Sopranos but it wont let me load up the show. Keeps giving me an error code, but all other shows/movies are working

  • jmmiskell Jeremy Miskell 🤘😎 (@jmmiskell) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp All programs. Turns out to be an issue with the app overriding audio settings on a @amazonfiretv with a sound bar attached…only fix I’ve found right now is disconnect the sound bar. Does not happen on computer, mobile or an @Roku tv.

  • nyakenya51 nyakenya (@nyakenya51) reported

    @Wheelguy09 @hbomax Seek help.Who on earth enjoys watching fake **** garbage in 4K?

  • Beeswax51110682 Beeswax (@Beeswax51110682) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Your colleagues over at Nordic said that there are no proper subtitles for chromecast users now or in the near future and I just have to ask, why? Your xbox app is also unusable, so there is no way for me to use your service. Just feels goofy, it's 2022.

    If you’re looking for quality superhero television that isn’t schlock, let me direct you: @HBO / @hbomax Watchmen Peacemaker Harley Quinn @PrimeVideo The Boys Invincible

  • jmmiskell Jeremy Miskell 🤘😎 (@jmmiskell) reported

    Going on 24 hours of broken @hbomax app on @amazonfiretv. No audio or just buzz. Multiple TV failures, works fine on computer or phone. Glad I had planned to watch the new Carlin doc on my big screen tonight. 😧

  • soxfan1972 Steven (@soxfan1972) reported

    Why is @hbomax the worst quality streaming service? Anybody have any ideas?

  • Darallex Darallex (@Darallex) reported

    @hbomax @mindykaling Why I'm not the biggest fan of the race change I also don't care I think this show has potential and hope people give it the chance to succeed or fail on the actual quality and not just hate on it because oh my God what did they do to Scooby-Doo (continued)

  • johnmac161 John McIntosh (@johnmac161) reported

    @ChrisTannehill @hbomax Dude, how do you even have time to watch something like that. After family time and then all the off hours work you do for 670 and the various Pods. You’ve cloned yourself like the movie Multiplicity, haven’t you?

  • itsgreattreally itsgreatreally (@itsgreattreally) reported

    @Wheelguy09 @hbomax I bet you go around falsely accusing innocent black men often. You need help. Reported to @twittersupport

  • Cryptolitics Nabeel Malik (@Cryptolitics) reported

    @hbomax your app sucks.. continue feature never work well and constantly gets stuck… learn from @netflix

  • afathersbastard myfathersbastard (@afathersbastard) reported

    @hbomax Question-When are you coming to Canada AS HBO Max? Being partnered with Crave is garbage. Their service is terrible, UI is almost non functional, it doesn’t even remember where you left off. It hasn’t been updated in years. I canceled recently because I can’t stand using it.

  • sirclinksalot Gregg (@sirclinksalot) reported

    How does @hbomax have the best content but the worst app?

  • ashlybthorn THORN (@ashlybthorn) reported

    @RexChapman @hbomax Actually there are 613 original commandments The 613 refers to the 613 Jewish commandments (mitzvot in Hebrew) extracted from the Old Testament. This immense work by Archie Rand includes one painting for each one of the 613 mitzvot.

  • _krownjules American Bison (@_krownjules) reported

    haven’t been able to sign into HBO Max all week because they don’t have Verizon in Guatemala. There’s gotta be a way to work around that when traveling internationally @hbomax

  • SpiralFractal Fractal Kaleidoscope Spiral 👩‍🦼 🎤 📚 (@SpiralFractal) reported

    @realthadpittman @RexChapman @hbomax He's not talking about 'god.' He's talking about RELIGION. Major difference. And one of the BIGGEST problem w/religion is people like you, who've been brainwashed with carrot/stick dogma to accept illogical superstitious blood cult & who try to force hateful dogma on all 🇺🇸!

  • frankpedrick3 frank pedrick (@frankpedrick3) reported

    @hbomax This is terrible. So slow moving and boring.

  • QondiNtini Qondi (@QondiNtini) reported

    @MimsyYamaguchi @hbomax The wigs are truly awful. Truly.

  • gmw2200 Gary Weir (@gmw2200) reported

    @hbomax when are you going to fix the frequent crashing on LG tvs?

  • RadioElvis Elvis (@RadioElvis) reported

    @hbomax Hard pass. So awful

  • danniela_____ daniela (@danniela_____) reported

    First world problems: Just found out Germany doesn't have HBO platform. And IF I want to "enjoy" the content I have pay a TV subscription on SKY? In which century am I? @HBO @hbomax send help.

  • KwaiChangCaine Lambeau West (@KwaiChangCaine) reported

    @kevlowe737 @RexChapman @hbomax Good question. Any entity that was unaccountable or stood to profit off human suffering or vulnerability would be in Carlins crosshairs. The far left has a lot of good ideas but seems to lack the details or the know how to make it work.

  • DArcyGreen D'Arcy Green (@DArcyGreen) reported

    why does the @hbomax tv app never ever work !!

  • Notworthitmate Vibewriter (@Notworthitmate) reported

    @BrendanGatenby @hbomax This was the perfect opportunity to give us a new and exciting character. Instead, they just piggybacked on an established work lol.

  • Kilrazin Nate R. (@Kilrazin) reported

    Something I would like to work for a single day/weekend. I really wish the @hbomax app on PS4 wasn't such an utter piece of garbage. Can't play a single episode of anything before it crashes. Uninstall, reinstall, log in and out, etc. Nothing, still crashing. What a joke.

  • victoria_glu Victoria Gluchoski (@victoria_glu) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still not working here

  • paz_hall Person (@paz_hall) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Then fix your app. It actually disconnects my wifi signal when I use it, sometimes. Nothing else can do that. Even @Spotify app just crashes, it doesn’t disconnect me. It’s ridiculous that you aren’t saying- “we are working on it,” and actually doing that. You’re asking me? 🤷🏽

  • alicewhitesage Alice (@alicewhitesage) reported

    @hbomax why your platform does not work? It crashes every minute, it’s slow and does not load contents. Do something.
