  • goodfella_vnt Vin Turczyn (@goodfella_vnt) reported

    @the_kalvick @HBOMaxHelp Had the same problem. I ended up switching to a chromecast the stutter went away but it buffered a lot. It's definitely not my internet as HBOMax is the only thing that ever buffers

  • pelicanbay69 Chris (@pelicanbay69) reported

    @hbomax HBO MAX SUCKS!!! Most confusing thing to try and set up ever! Not user friendly whatsoever! Says free with my directv hbo subscription. Try and get it to work. I dare you! Biggest flop of 2020. That’s saying a lot

  • Dylanstromo Fear and Loathing 2020 (@Dylanstromo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax I was trying to stream today and Harley Quinn, BTAS, and Batman Beyond weren't streaming. I kept getting an error message. LOTR and Looney Toons worked but the stuff I actually wanted to watch didn't. Help.

  • CardVillen Louis Ville (@CardVillen) reported

    @hbomax please help! I’ve been trying to watch WW84 for days but the playback on my Roku tv has been incredibly choppy since it’s trying to push 4K. Is there a way I can set a playback resolution?

  • christithe1 Christi (@christithe1) reported

    @hbomax Why doesn’t your app work? I have to exit out because the pause doesn’t work!?! I force stop your app and it works once. Asinine.

  • CardVillen Louis Ville (@CardVillen) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @RyanBurnsMN I’m having this same issue. Is there a fix?

  • ts4TBzyidvfqnbs 1984 (@ts4TBzyidvfqnbs) reported

    @TheyCallMeNels @HBOMaxHelp My setup: Nvidia Shield, LG Nano 2020 and Klipsch 5.1 WISA wireless reference speakers. My sound would randomly pop or cutout. To fix the issue, I had to uncheck Dolby Atmos and Dolby MAT. I had similar issues with Disney+ on DD+, but Dolby TrueHD is fine.

  • CreepyGnome Rod • #BLM • ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ• 😷 (@CreepyGnome) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Really? This is not new feedback this is old feedback that still has had no response or remediation to. I am not giving you the feedback again... I am asking for a status on when you are going to solve this problem that exists for 100% of @YouTubeTV users with HBO Max. @ShieldVoC

  • Gunner_McStabby Gunny (@Gunner_McStabby) reported

    @TheyCallMeNels @HBOMaxHelp I saw it in 4k quality but it is totally unwatchable. It's a terrible movie.

  • ddvelin Darin Velin (@ddvelin) reported

    @TheyCallMeNels @HBOMaxHelp I had the exact same issue. I too ended up watching it via Xbox, so missed out on the 4K experience.

  • Farewell_God Keithian Philosophy (Being qua Being) (@Farewell_God) reported

    @TheyCallMeNels @HBOMaxHelp Agreed. Quality was junk. Hard to believe At&t has never heard of #fastly or #cloudflare

  • tanmoy857 Tanmoy Mazumdar (@tanmoy857) reported from Alameda, California

    @ndkckbsn @llirentrecards @hbomax you are just trying to act relevant and it’s not working bro. if you wanna support us support genuinely or else stay away. diversity need to establish and accepted fully in real life first then we will think about a freaking teen drama show.

  • candicedunlap Yarnsoka (@candicedunlap) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp hey can you make a setting for ps4 where it doesn’t have to stream HD? Constant buffering makes your app unusable on my ps4, every other streaming app works fine. 😡

  • CreepyGnome Rod • #BLM • ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ• 😷 (@CreepyGnome) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp when are you going to allow YouTube TV subs login using their other profile accounts. Requested this features right after you released and still not implemented. Alt is allow linked HBO account which I hv to work for HBO Max content. That last one should be easier.

  • bditt34 Bditt34 (@bditt34) reported

    @hbomax Trying to enjoy this show, but the writing is terrible. Characters making insane nonsense decisions just to further the plot along. It’s a chore getting through the season.

  • hearthomesinnoh Tom, the Joseph Joestar Simp | BLM (@hearthomesinnoh) reported

    @hbomax Batman Animated: The Series. It could work.

  • christithe1 Christi (@christithe1) reported

    @hbomax And don’t give me your canned crap troubleshooting because it doesn’t work. It’s 2021. I’ve some accountability. Grow up.

  • talonwhoo Talon (@talonwhoo) reported

    @FranksFandoms @hbomax I cant wait to crash google play since hbomax isn’t available here! Lol!

  • dagazkenaz Doug Coffelt (@dagazkenaz) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp support is non-existent. You say to DM, but you don't actually help at all. Why am I paying for this service? You are charging a premium price for a sub par product.

  • nontoxicfilmbro Aaron McKim (@nontoxicfilmbro) reported

    @hbomax thanks for adding Batman the animated series, but wtf did you do to the order? It's a jumbled mess! Please, for the love of god, fix it!

  • philgt81 Phil U (@philgt81) reported

    @hbomax Terrible movie!

  • christithe1 Christi (@christithe1) reported

    @hbomax why doesn’t the pause button work on your app anymore. I force stop it and it works once then I have to exiting out of the program to stop. Ridiculous.

  • Dylanstromo Fear and Loathing 2020 (@Dylanstromo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp So I switched over to watching on my PS4. While I have you, you HAVE TO work on your streaming quality. The amount of buffering that's happening is nuts. A 20 minute show takes 50 minutes to watch, it's not good.

  • snowbirdskier Come, let us reason together... (@snowbirdskier) reported

    @hbomax I am blocking all WW1984 ads in an effort to protect the innocent who have not yet seen it and to prevent myself from being reminded of the terrible experience it was to watch.

  • HafroThunder Nick Root (@HafroThunder) reported

    @hbomax how come you're the only platform I ever have streaming issues with? Get your servers and connection issues fixed.

  • jongross08 Jon Gross (@jongross08) reported

    Extended edition Lord of the Rings > theatrical Lord of the Rings. @hbomax please fix this. I'm too lazy to get off couch and pop my blu ray in.

  • annie_ri Annie Silvia (@annie_ri) reported

    @hbomax TERRIBLE! I wish I had that time back...well, alll but last half hour because we turned it off...

  • doombuggy1 Alan (@doombuggy1) reported

    Who came up with @Xfinity UI for @hbomax? It’s terrible. Have to search for series I’m watching every time I visit the app. Take a look at #Roku’s UI for some guidance at fixing it. #HBOMax

  • A_Hobo57 A Hobo57 (@A_Hobo57) reported

    @hbomax The reviews or this movie have been so terrible that I haven't even wanted to watch it for free...

  • ImSeanMcDonald Sean McDonald (@ImSeanMcDonald) reported

    @hbomax Just Terrible.
