    @HBOMaxHelp I need help cancelling an account I didn't even know I still had - I live abroad and cannot sign in to do this. Can someone assist/DM me? Thank you.

  • maddoxreksten maddox.psd 🐻💛⚫️ (@maddoxreksten) reported

    anyone else have an issue with @HBOMaxHelp where you can watch things just fine but certain movies will just show a black screen upon playing? only happens on fire TV & i can resolve it by playing the program on my phone first and then selecting "continue watching" upon restart.

  • AyAyRonnnnnn A-A-Ron (@AyAyRonnnnnn) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why is this app so bad? It doesn’t work on Samsung TVs because the size is too big (it is giant compared to other streaming apps) and it doesn’t work on my phone bc it doesn’t recognize the wifi connection (wifi is working just fine). Get it together!

  • grrargh1630 LeeAnne 🤙🏻🐔🏈 (@grrargh1630) reported

    @hbomax can’t get my Roku app to work. Get a network error but it’s not my Wi-Fi as all my other apps on the Roku and my phone work. HBO Max works on my phone too. I have removed and added back and updated as well as restated my Roku

  • reklaww_ Watts (@reklaww_) reported

    @hbomax are you ever going to fix the buffering issue when rewinding/fast-forwarding? Bc I’m tired.

  • Sunset_season_ Brutal XCX (@Sunset_season_) reported

    @coastbabyy @PopCrave @hbomax Exactly there’s no problem

  • bgibbons35 Brian Gibbons (@bgibbons35) reported from Port Washington, New York

    @HBOMaxHelp I have DM’d you a few times for help with your app, which hasn’t worked for days. No response yet. Please advise how I can get assistance.

  • fauciglietti Luca 🇪🇺 (@fauciglietti) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi, for the past 2 days I have been trying to sign up to the half price offer for HBOMax in Denmark. I have successfully created an account but on payment I get problem. ID: b117d4e8-acb9-4e4f-933e-64a33413cff3-hboMax-e2884ee9-60fd-4977-ab73-9953bfc1fbd2 Help? Thanks

  • RobinHan521 Robin Walther Han (@RobinHan521) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp We don’t have it anymore. Sorry. The app was very glitchy though…to the point of screaming. No problems with the Firestick. Maybe help @TheClaudiaBlack with her current issue though?

  • courtlynanders Courtlyn (@courtlynanders) reported

    @MiSsChRiS710 @hbomax This is me this morning. I'm on a Samsung TV. Uninstalled, reinstalled. Tried a number of shows and nothing will work.

  • basedmace_ #54 Bishop Sycamore (@basedmace_) reported

    @hbomax has the worst app

  • Toablarone Les Vegetables 🌲 (@Toablarone) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why did you tell me to DM you when you aren’t doing anything to actually solve this problem?

  • Veronic_Underwo VeronicaUnderwood (@Veronic_Underwo) reported

    @llcoolj @hbomax Who will help me with advice?

  • didodi_tweet Didodi (@didodi_tweet) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks for all your help. Sorry for not responding. I've been able to get it to work on other devices I use, so, perhaps it's the devices themselves. I'll keep working on them but for now I can watch the app on other devices.

  • Turtle1920 Polarizing Sideways Commentator (@Turtle1920) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have restarted everything, tv, router, consoles etc. Its not a connection problem. Every other app works perfectly fine

  • GreatCheshire Lady Emily (@GreatCheshire) reported

    @lackingsaint @hbomax I have the issue where I’ll be watching something and it’ll just immediately crash and I’ll have to restart the app and the entire episode

  • BrittHuerta dont call me brett (@BrittHuerta) reported

    @eurekaohara @hbomax What’s the tea on the broken arm? Did you actually fall? I thought it was a bit but then you had a sling

  • PositiveFemale positivefemale (@PositiveFemale) reported

    @soledadobrien @hbomax Just donated to the Black and Missing Foundation. I pray that one day they won’t have work to do.

  • grantbarrick Grant Barrick (@grantbarrick) reported

    @hbomax @WarnerMedia @ATT you are sitting on $21 BILLION in cash and you can’t afford to hire someone to fix the subtitles in Gomorrah? Lol. Tell me again how much your customers mean to you.

  • _dnov ӾN🔺V (@_dnov) reported

    I need every one involved in creating @hbomax fired. this **** is terrible

  • DJ345 Ya’ll Wear a Mask Again, Please ! (@DJ345) reported

    I cannot get the HBOMAX app to open on my ROKU Express. I would like some help @RokuSupport @hbomax

  • DianthaN Diantha Averil Nota (@DianthaN) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I only could on a MacBook from 2010. All other stat/mobile devices/browsers the purple button cannot be accessed after typing in credit card details. But hey, it’s not as if you didn’t already make a terrible impression of not having your **** together in your systems last weeks.

  • flogdartinni 🕶 (@flogdartinni) reported

    @hbomax puhlease fix your glitchy *** app💔

  • KemauryFrazier KPisces67 (@KemauryFrazier) reported

    Is anybody’s @hbomax not working?

  • Jake_Menez Jake Menez 🎄 (@Jake_Menez) reported

    @channingtatum @hbomax @magicmikemovie He should go to London and fight Jack the Stripper, a mysterious man killing male strippers so he can win the stripping contest. Willing to help with the rewrite

  • aclearaxle 𝔏𝔢𝔵✨ (@aclearaxle) reported

    @lunetlas Exactly!!! That would have been literally so cool. ESP bc hbo doesn’t release the episodes all at once it would work so well. @hbomax hire me abahahaha

  • danimal492002 dossod (@danimal492002) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The problem is you can’t download multiple shows at once & I often get booted out of the app completely. Both on my iPhone and ipad. Pls don’t tell me it’s my equipment bec when I download from Netflix, it works perfectly. I would like a credit as paying $15 p/month is silly.

  • RoseyyNicole 🍂♡ (@RoseyyNicole) reported

    @hbomax baby y'all gotta fix thus glitching **** 😭😭

  • r_mellin Ryan Mellin (@r_mellin) reported

    @lackingsaint @hbomax My HBOmax app on PS4 has been doing it for months, I just stopped trying. It was a neverending loop. I've done everything outside of factory resetting my PlayStation to try and fix it.

  • Paleophile Caitlin S., PhD 😷 (@Paleophile) reported

    If I sub to @hbomax, can I watch @tcm live broadcasts via the TCM app? Or I only get access to the TCM library (or whatever they call it)? I'm trying to figure out how to get TCM back now that AT&T ditched it (without buying a $60/month streaming package). Help! #TCMparty
