  • booma_rang88 Mama Odie🔮 (@booma_rang88) reported

    @hbomax why is the sound not working? Unacceptable 😒

  • mourningwren fight me, onion (@mourningwren) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp For some reason when I go to watch The Last of Us it gives me an error code. Tried everything.

  • prplchknz Purple L Chickens (@prplchknz) reported

    Is the us ever getting series 4 of #BBCGhosts ? Even if it's someone other than @hbomax, I have britbox, so that would also work. I just wanna watch series 4

  • irisphstudio IRIS Photo Studio & Weddings (@irisphstudio) reported

    @hbomax @HBO I loved the episode so much, but I have one criticism: where's all the people gone in the end? There was plenty, so how's that nobody noticed the fire and came to help? How could Joel arrive in town and leave with Ellie undisturbed? This disrupts the credibility of the scene.

  • DEcultured84 BlackQueerGrio (@DEcultured84) reported

    For the second Monday in a row trying to watch The Last of Us through my chromecast the sound changes to Spanish and I can’t switch it or put subtitles on. WTF @hbomax In both. Instances I watch @LastWeekTonight without an issue. Didn’t end up watching last ep till Saturday

  • andieguess AnnDelyn Guess (@andieguess) reported

    @hbomax please fix your service!!Spinning icon, I have fiber cable 1 GB speed, should never spin. I paid 1 year in advance. If you can’t fix it, give my $ back.

  • RastiSv SVRasti (@RastiSv) reported

    @Seanathon369 @hbomax @BellaRamsey They wasted an entire episode on two middle aged hairy men getting busy (because that is what fans who tune into a show based on a horror game wants to see) when they could have stuck to the game and focus on the source material. The show isn't terrible, but it is overhyped.

  • eclypse101 Julius (@eclypse101) reported

    @hbomax is the worst streaming service on earth. NOTHING else stops to load in the middle of a show or movie. Not Netflix, Not Amazon, Peacock, not even YouTube. Yet you all have the nerve to $16 a month? #nogood #streaming #hbomax

  • nivito Nicolas V (@nivito) reported

    @hbomax please fix the downloads and the offline mode of the ipad app. So bad

  • julyaneframbach Julyane (@julyaneframbach) reported

  • streikbaut StreikBaut (@streikbaut) reported

    @hbomax It is insane to me how often this service doesn't work. I don't understand how this is the only service that has this many issues.

  • CamilaMiraglia Camila Miraglia Tarbuch ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@CamilaMiraglia) reported

    @hbomax it’s impossible to watch anything. The only app that has connection issues. I’m tired.

  • CTalbert Talbert32° (@CTalbert) reported

    @hbomax your ****** app sucks I became a subscriber for 1 show #LastOfUsHBO but it’s plays in French I don’t speak or understand that **** and there are no options to change language or add subtitles. FIX IT NOW

  • megantheegemini Megantheegemini (@megantheegemini) reported

    Trying to get my @hbomax to work since I get it through my @ATT plan and this is absolutely painful. Been on the phone for 20 minutes just to get transferred to a different number. Really wondering if it’s worth having a plan with @ATT anymore.

  • McasspissShitty ****** McAsspiss (@McasspissShitty) reported

    The worst streaming service of all time is @hbomax. I've tried a million times and they're terrible.

  • al0ween @al-oween (@al0ween) reported

    @hbomax @BellaRamsey Shes easily the worst part of the show. If she was replaced by someone easier to look at, it would be a solid 8.4 out of 10

  • DixonDavian Davian Dixon (@DixonDavian) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @att I had HBO for life after being a 20 year customer...didn't matter, @att claims they provided it by system error...B.S.

  • harris88785 Harris Steinfeld (@harris88785) reported

    @Ryanair why are you ug so poor at communicating with your customers and also @hbomax why does your steaming service never work

  • jm4xs J. Snow (@jm4xs) reported

    my @hbomax is now unwatchable because of freezing every 6-10 seconds. what's going on? it's the only streaming service we're having issues with.

  • WhatToWatch2Day What To Watch 🎬 (@WhatToWatch2Day) reported

    What to watch today? Just watched the first two episodes of #StationEleven on @hbomax. This show was terrible and I won’t watch it anymore. Do you agree?

  • 2William william🔥 (@2William) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I am being charged for HBOMax but it does not work. I need to cancel my service.
