    @hbomax when will the apps stream good quality videos? It doesn’t matter how much speed you have, every few minutes gets horrible blurry crap. Learn from Netflix , YouTube and even Amazon. I don’t have problems with them. Wake up HBO . I’m thinking of cancelling this garbage.

  • OJQueen Ollie (@OJQueen) reported

    @bakingjason @HBO @hbomax Licensing/Legal issues.

  • Economicopoly Economicopoly (@Economicopoly) reported

    @ActingTheGom When Sky loses @HBO content (effectively all the quality on "Sky" premium channels) theyvare in trouble. We will hopefully have @hbomax as subscription here and at that point the ad filled satelite tv model surely in perenial decline? What you use for terrestial, free sat?

  • JuanCar12136319 Juan Carlos (@JuanCar12136319) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp why is it that all the apps(TV , PS5 , PS4 , phone) show horrible blurry videos that only get good image like 20% of the video. Have enough speed and don’t have problems with Netflix or any other streaming app except HBO . I feel HBO doesn’t care.

    @hbomax Hello, I got a notification on my email saying that my account was updated. I didnt update anything. I tried resetting my account, but I don't get any reset link. Can you help me.

  • mad_mac_89 madds mackelson (@mad_mac_89) reported

    @hbomax Why is your app so terrible. It's barely functional

  • TheAmazingCStew The Great One (@TheAmazingCStew) reported

    Bro @hbomax fix y’all’s app. It makes no sense how dysfunctional it is.

  • JimmyMerritello Jimmy Merritello (@JimmyMerritello) reported

    @hbomax please fix the IP address geo location in your Android app. My network is completely unchanged and every legitimate API I know of for this shows correct: Chicago. Been broken for over a week.

  • MLGutierrez Michelle R Gutierrez (@MLGutierrez) reported

    @hbomax I think instead of so eagerly trying to correct every individual concern on Twitter, it would be in your best interest to JUST FIX THE APP!

  • Ayoo_Porter Senku Ishigami (@Ayoo_Porter) reported from Memphis, Tennessee

    Hbo max so ******* pathetic .. @hbomax .. fix your ******* service

  • Mike_Clark12 Mike Clark (@Mike_Clark12) reported

    @hbomax it is absolutely ridiculous how unusable your app. I cant even get one single show to play without it crashing. And this is habitual, not just a one time thing

  • SmBcmStrngrs Collin (@SmBcmStrngrs) reported

    @hbomax ******* fix your ****** app on @Roku

  • JuanCar12136319 Juan Carlos (@JuanCar12136319) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp keeps talking about new movies and series when you should be talking about software upgrades. The apps sucks big time . Blurry most of the times . Ask Netflix how to fix it .

  • freedug FRΞΞDUG (@freedug) reported

    Dear @hbomax , can you fix your dumb app so I don’t have to re-log in every couple of weeks pls? Thanks!!

  • KingContreras Virus Contreras (@KingContreras) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve done all the steps in your support page and the app it’s still buggy and doesn’t work, the audio in most of the series and movies it’s horrible, the lag it’s awful and I did check with my internet provider, this is my first month, I want my money back, this sucks

  • ChrisB21215 Chris Belin (@ChrisB21215) reported

    @hbomax browser is the worst. You guys really need to fix it. To much lag and hanging. Sometimes takes forever to open.

  • Dave4R3al Dave 🎧 (@Dave4R3al) reported

    Man @hbomax is the worst streaming app of all time. Can’t even get a minute into anything without it buffering or crashing.

  • FearlessFrank4 Fearless Frank (@FearlessFrank4) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @TheAmazingCStew Why can’t u fix your **** instead of replying w the same tweet to everyone.

  • DanMoffTarkin Dan Flashes’ Very Complicated Shirts (@DanMoffTarkin) reported

    @bakingjason @HBO @hbomax It’s a rights issue. I don’t know the ins and outs, but I know that’s what tanked the Shyamalan-produced reboot that was in development for TNT a few years back never got off the ground and why it’s not streaming anywhere.

  • TeamWaff TheteamD3V (@TeamWaff) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Can you guys fix it

  • berniesbro94 Spence (@berniesbro94) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @hbomax why does your streaming always need to buffer? Every time I watch it’s stop and go nonsense

  • GwenRosemann Gwen (@GwenRosemann) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I always have problems with this app. I haven't been able to watch it. Have to restart it 3 times and if I'm lucky the show I'm trying to watch will start.
