    @ruff_bluffs Hey @hbomax and @Roku … seems like there at least 21,000 people aware of this problem. Either rod you guys have a fix for us yet? Been a few months already.

  • zackyuro92 Zack 🚀🚀🚀 (@zackyuro92) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I mostly use it on my PS5. But my parents use it on their smart TV and my friends use it on other devices. Everyone has the same problem. For $15 a month I should be able to watch The Wire without getting error message intermissions.

  • lastnightonmars Special Agent Utah (@lastnightonmars) reported

    @hbomax the Spanish version of while at war is out of sync. Is there something that can be done about it? And yes I checked and it is the only title with that problem.

    @HellerHighWat3r @hbomax Maybe Doc could help Nicole out in the sheriff’s department now that he’s human again? #WynonnaEarp #BringWynonnaHome

  • vlckow ☢ VLAD ☣ (@vlckow) reported from Bethesda, Maryland

    @hbomax Why your app freezes on my 1 year old #Samsung smart Tv? What to do? When I stream HBO channel from #AmazonPrime app on the same Tv, no problem

  • Smoore1117 Steve Moore (@Smoore1117) reported

    It is astonishing just how god-awful the @hbomax app is to use. An absolute disaster.

  • _ItsJesus Jesus (@_ItsJesus) reported

    @hbomax is probably the worst movie streaming app of all time. Constant buffering even with really good WiFi.

  • morganfahey Morgan Fahey (@morganfahey) reported

    So, the @hulu app announced a price hike, did an update, and now I can't pause or fast forward during episode playback. I don't think streaming apps should be competing to be EVEN MORE unusable than the @hbomax app. @hulu_support, can you fix this??

  • The3Rrrs RepeatRepeatRepeat (@The3Rrrs) reported

    @ruff_bluffs Hey @hbomax and @roku, seems like there are at least 21,000 people aware of this problem. Any fix to use this app on roku?

  • gerbick William McBee (@gerbick) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp For the last 24 hours, I have been unable to view and alter my subscription in my settings on: iPad, macOS and if need be, Win10. Yet I have had to explain that this is a server-side issue. Not my browser(s), not my devices.

  • itsya_mainebtch Last Night I Had A Dream That (@itsya_mainebtch) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @ThisCantBeLyf Or… y’all can yk… fix the damn app instead of asking for feedback 😑

  • cntbetamed solar power crusader (@cntbetamed) reported

    @hbomax fix your app!!!!

  • Catzlaff Cat (@Catzlaff) reported

    Does @HBOMaxHelp just not work on any TV? I have exhausted all support recommendations. If I try to watch on my TV it freezes and my entire TV restarts or kicks me back to TV main menu.

  • Daryl_VanDyke Daryl Van **** (@Daryl_VanDyke) reported

    Hey @hbomax - I really like the selection, and will tolerate the UI/UX for another few months... But the audio mastering *really* needs to get fixed. Over the weekend, "Snakes on a Plane" was a muffled even cranked, and "Once Upon a time in Mexico" has good levels. Please fix!

  • sharil_g Sharil (@sharil_g) reported

    Yo @hbomax please fix the rewind on your tv app, that **** extremely ghetto

  • Tdoherty20 Tommy Takes (@Tdoherty20) reported

    @hbomax are you going to fix this trash app or not ? I can’t pause/rewind/fast forward. Because if you do it either goes to far/restarts the whole god damn movie/show.

  • ryanmcd92 Ryan (@ryanmcd92) reported

    @brgridiron @hbomax Poor kids dad is a terrible CB, and his favorite QB isn’t even the best QB in the east

  • Len1366 DeBo (@Len1366) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @The3Rrrs Yes, every single person who has a Roku has this issue. No one on your social or customer service team is going to be able to “troubleshoot” people out of this.

  • Softball237 softball237 (@Softball237) reported

    @HellerHighWat3r @hbomax Ya, it would be funny to see them try to pull this super elaborate prank and it doesn’t even work or #WynonnaEarp sees right throw it lol #BringWynonnaHome

  • KCGreen17 Casey Green (@KCGreen17) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @The3Rrrs Read the thread @HBOMaxHelp - seems like a lot of people are experiencing issues with your app....

  • Tdoherty20 Tommy Takes (@Tdoherty20) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp PlayStation. And I’m not the only one having this issue. There is literally memes made of how bad this app is when it comes to everything I just listed.

  • nickiemprie1 nickithequeen (@nickiemprie1) reported

    @Nikilette @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax Hi! it also happen to my account for 2month and I tried contacting support service but they always gave me a robot reply so i got in contact with Elim_cr4ck on Instagram,she was the one who got me back into my account she will help you with your account

  • 2BallsAndANick H a T c H (@2BallsAndANick) reported

    @hbomax I love your streaming platform, and the content on it. All I ask is that you PLEASE do some work on your "search" system. I can't search for actors, film companies, or random inquiries like "4k" "space movies" "etc" 😢

  • ort OrT (@ort) reported

    @hbomax @Zwoltopia Big old SSL error.

  • ChareenSeiaDoon Wit killed Asmodean (@ChareenSeiaDoon) reported

    @Lysander29 @ruff_bluffs "It's a PC" @HBOMaxHelp "what model?" .... like specs? I can run Crysis pretty sure the problem with this trash app isn't on my end

  • BobbyCwell Bobby Cantwell (@BobbyCwell) reported

    @NFLFilms @hbomax Hope its better than the rest of the season. Other than the drone, its been pretty bad. I've seen every season and this will go down in my opinion as one of the worst!

  • The3Rrrs RepeatRepeatRepeat (@The3Rrrs) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Played HARRY POTTER 1 as test. 1 minute to load. Made it through about 1 minute of footage before audio cut out intermittently. Then video cut back to main roku menu- no prompting from me. App + roku fully up to date. All other streaming service apps work. Hbomax works on laptop.

    @hbomax WE need your help!!! #SaveTheRepublicOfSarah
