  • vincebikesny Vince NY (@vincebikesny) reported

    @noneck @hbomax HBO Max is the worst app for tv devices. The subtitles rarelywork at all on Roku.

  • Billy_Rehfeld Billy Rehfeld (@Billy_Rehfeld) reported

    Anyone else have trouble with @hbomax . Legit never have problems with Hulu/Netflix/Prime/Showtime etc but always have connection problems with HBO

  • TerraNikol Terra Nikol (@TerraNikol) reported

    @hbomax what's up with the app not working? Ughhhh I'm about to cancel this ish again.

  • ari_jones Ari MK Jones (@ari_jones) reported

    Y’all, @hbomax has too much money for these #WereHere captions to be this terrible! The cadence, the spelling, the word choice… this is an accessibility issue.

  • HobbesOgH Hobbes II (@HobbesOgH) reported

    Why is the @HBOMax app so awful?? It has no memory of what I watch.

  • chrissalvano Chris Salvano (@chrissalvano) reported

    @hbomax yo your streaming service rarely works: constantly buffering and giving me “this title not available” in the middle of a show. I never have this problem with other streaming services. What gives?

  • ST1401toEndor 🎄Matt, But Now With Trees🎄 (@ST1401toEndor) reported from Woodcrest, California

    Seriously, hands down the @hbomax app for Apple TV has to be one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. It’s unfortunate because I love the content on HBO Max, however their shoddy application on the Apple TV makes is so hard to enjoy what you’re watching.

  • _ProJecTPatt_ Duke Silver (@_ProJecTPatt_) reported

    @Billy_Rehfeld @hbomax I actually always have problems with Hulu , but never anything else

  • awol_mojo Paul Awalt (@awol_mojo) reported

    @VIZIO @hbomax Hey check it out, I was using my HBOMAX app and used fast forward, app wouldn’t work, and AGAIN I HAD TO RESET MY VIZIO TV & SOUND BAR TO FACTORY SPECS JUST TO GET THE TV TO WORK AGAIN. AGAIN I SAY TO YOU BUY ANY ORHER BRAND THAN A VIZIO TV & SOUND BAR.

  • BiPoLar_LeLe Hot Girl Big PUURRR 🐶🦄🤪 (@BiPoLar_LeLe) reported

    @hbomax fix that app man

  • adawadaj If you know, you know (@adawadaj) reported

    HBOMAX FIX YOUR ******* APP! Goddamn how many people have to complain!? Always says it can’t play titles; buffers during movies; sound randomly goes out. Y’all literally have the worst streaming app I’ve ever seen. I literally go to any other app & it works perfectly @hbomax

  • ScrawnyUtah ~ * t R i § t A * ~ (@ScrawnyUtah) reported

    hi @hbomax pls fix the bug that makes closed captioning turn on for everything I watch despite turning them off every time. It is very annoying and has been a known issue for many months! (Embarrassing 4 u!) :]

  • TheCreative14 Chris Boyd (@TheCreative14) reported

    @hbomax stop being lazy and fix the PS4 app !! It can’t output clear video

  • Ineeidem Hypertiro🇮🇹⚽️ (@Ineeidem) reported

    @hbomax I'm having trouble with the app. Who do I contact?

  • vanMathuysen Chris van B (@vanMathuysen) reported

    @hbomax @YouTubeTV why do I regularly have to sign out & back in for my HBOMax subscription (purchased through YouTubeTV) to work despite the fact I’ve had a continuous subscription? Also worth noting: sign out/in doesn’t even work every time, sometimes takes multiple attempts.

  • sweetjesusradio Sweet Jesus Radio (he/him) (@sweetjesusradio) reported

    @JessVJessV @hbomax That sucks. I've never had that issue

  • goddess_leilei Lebo Malatse (@goddess_leilei) reported

    @hbomax is trippin! It won't play @insecurehbo and I been trying to watch for 3 weeks!!! I can watch everything else but my girls!!! Someone fix this.

  • billyjackhyde billyjackhyde🚀 (@billyjackhyde) reported

    @hbomax Why are subtitles suddenly on by default? It’s obnoxious, and instead of helping me fix it, your cust service tried to convince me it’s always been that way. It’s not isolated, people having this issue are posting all over the HBO Max subreddit. Let’s get an actual fix!

  • frankbadini frank badini (@frankbadini) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'm having the same problem with season 4 Gomorrah- no Italian with subtitles... the first 3 seasons were fine.. it's the middle of November- when will this glitch get fixed?

  • EllenBooraem EllenBooraem (@EllenBooraem) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I did all of those things many times over, before giving up and canceling my subscription. The problem is Max. No problem with Now or even early Max, even with 10 mbps internet. Upped to 25 mbps and Max still doesn't work. Why not offer replay speed options like everyone else?

  • JessVJessV Valca Mirel (@JessVJessV) reported

    @sweetjesusradio @hbomax You don’t have any issues at all? You’re the 1st person I know.

  • chrissalvano Chris Salvano (@chrissalvano) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Samsung smart tv and a MacBook. Problems on both devices.

  • Persian_hugs Liam sparling comedy (@Persian_hugs) reported

    @hbomax hi I pay for no ads and there’s ads in my content can I get some help this is pretty disappointing

  • thePSJ1022 Paul Salamy Jr (@thePSJ1022) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thank you. I did this after I was having multiple issues all evening. Seems better but this happens too often with the app

  • eyetea_ Tay (@eyetea_) reported

    How the damn Zeus app work better than @hbomax ?!?!

  • david_beason Raphael Beason (@david_beason) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yea, the connection is fine, (I can watch Sopranos just fine no issues.) everything is up to date. I got the app through Roku.

  • Showboat804 Singh is King (@Showboat804) reported

  • shilohthedogx shiloh (@shilohthedogx) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp trying to watch Succession and getting error code 321 repeatedly. How can we get it working?

  • HeWhoGazesBack He Who Gazes Back (@HeWhoGazesBack) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp is the hbomax app on apple tv bugged? After 1 episode i need to restart the app multiple times to make it play something. Episodes also randomly crash and subtitles keep appearing randomly. Help!

  • Pedingo Pedro (@Pedingo) reported

    HBOMax has been out for over a year and it is still the worst streaming app @hbomax
