    @hbomax Fix your app

  • mehgiga some random clever name (@mehgiga) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the worst player. It keeps crashing my amazon fire tablet. If its not the main tab on my pc(kickass pc at that) it constantly buffers. Junk player.

  • ScottChappell6 Scott Chappell (@ScottChappell6) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I hate to add to an increasing list of people having an issue with your app, but I am definitely one of them. We like to watch certain shows as we fall asleep, but every time we start, two episodes in it errors and crashes. Are you ever going to get this fixed? I use Amazon.

  • jordan_campagna Jordan Campagna (@jordan_campagna) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I got an email that my account info has been changed. I have HBO through Hulu. When I log into the HBO Max website, the account info is NOT ME but my Hulu login still works. What do I need to do to get my account back?

  • iterology John Glass (@iterology) reported

    @encyclophoebia @hbomax yep getting this also, this is an error on their end.

  • AurumReign 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓬𝓾𝓼 | 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝐹𝑜𝓇𝒸𝑒 (@AurumReign) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hey...ya been a loyal pre-subscriber since the very beginning. Lately I've noticed the app for PS5 constantly crashes every 15 minutes or so and has to be closed for no reason. Also, the scrolling is atrocious and moves on it own! Wtf FIX IT!! Bout to cancel!

  • duker3313 duker (@duker3313) reported

    @Susapalooza3 @hbomax **** is awful. Literally always buffering.

  • RowenHusky Rowen Husky (@RowenHusky) reported

    Also @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp seriously put in some health checks on your load balancers to never show this default ES docker page to people. Instead show a simple friendly service outage message. Otherwise you're going to confuse and scare the hell out of non-tech people :P.

  • ezjacob Ezbon Jacob (@ezjacob) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @logan_stratton @HBOMaxHelp it’s been almost a month what’s the status of fixing this issue?

  • aabrahamm_10 ABRAHAM (@aabrahamm_10) reported

    @hbomax My HBO is not working on my computer

  • Nycsuperhero13 Nycsuperhero (@Nycsuperhero13) reported

    @hbomax why does your service keep cutting out? Nothing is wrong with my internet provider but it seems like paying full price keeps trying to give me commercial breaks and just glitches out instead. Fix this

  • kkgardner1 Rikki 🌈🤍🌈 (@kkgardner1) reported

    @hbomax what the hell did you do to you rewinding & fast forward section??? It has a mind of its own and doesn’t work correctly!!!! Please fix, it’s super annoying!!!!! #HBOMax

  • AurumReign 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓬𝓾𝓼 | 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝐹𝑜𝓇𝒸𝑒 (@AurumReign) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Nope. None of these work. It's an internal error with the app coding and UI needs revamped. 🗑

  • RowenHusky Rowen Husky (@RowenHusky) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @AliGraysAnatomy This isn't a user issue. It's your infrastructure. Please notify your SRE/devops teams! Also make sure they put in a better health check and error page on their ELBs in the future!

  • MunkinArts Tom Kies (@MunkinArts) reported

    @ATTHelp Nothing really to start, just letting you know the transcoding seems glitchy. It eventually went out of sync again. Maybe it's y'all's issue, maybe it's on @hbomax's end. Good luck.

  • hartstm Hart St. Martin (@hartstm) reported

    @TrishaLea84 @hbomax As I tweeted later: Don’t get HBO Max. Their app doesn’t work and they don’t care. They don’t have to. They’re HBOMax.

  • AliGraysAnatomy Alicia Gray (@AliGraysAnatomy) reported

    @I_Have_Joy @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp computer? so weird. it's probably a glitch. seems like more than usual lately.

  • frescoshrimp FRESCO (@frescoshrimp) reported

    @GameOfThrones @WiCnet @hbomax Ruined by the last season. Can’t rewatch knowing how terrible you closed the show. Could have been the best show, but completely squandered.

  • TheSideHustle switch the I and N on the keyboard (@TheSideHustle) reported

    @hbomax Fix your issues and I’ll watch

  • endymion001 endy001 (@endymion001) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp are there any known issues with audio sync? It always seems to be half a minute off, and it’s the only app on my Roku with the problem.

  • eRobin eRobin (@eRobin) reported

    @westratenick @hbomax It’s awful. Never fast forward or reverse and you’ll likely be okay. So annoying.

  • mehgiga some random clever name (@mehgiga) reported

    @hbomax the worst player on the market....great content though. Work out the bugs please its 2021...

  • blondej00nie ☻⁷ (@blondej00nie) reported

    .@hbomax y’all’s platform is SOOO bad pls tell me you’re working on it bc i’ve about had it i’m one more crash away from cancelling my subscription this is ridiculous

  • ahsain_ Nene 💜 (@ahsain_) reported

    There is NO REASON for your app to be as terrible as it is. FIX IT! @hbomax

  • endymion001 endy001 (@endymion001) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks and they didn’t help, no. The audio is maybe a second off but it’s noticeable.

  • RoadTripWithOur RoadTripWithOurDog (@RoadTripWithOur) reported

    @hbomax "If you did not reset your password, please click here." I did not reset my password. I'm now locked out. And the "click here" sends me on an endless loop with no actual person to help. Very unhappy my information is stolen and #HBOMax is absent.
