    @okonomiyonda @hbomax Yah, maybe some weird issue with different versions of the app.

  • AndresBanus Andres Banus (@AndresBanus) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp - I do not get an image, I get a black screen with only audio. I tried other movies... and no issue. Only with WW84.

  • Dirtygrass Dirtygrass (@Dirtygrass) reported

    @hbomax Worst dog **** movie I have ever watched!

  • horstengela Matt Howell (@horstengela) reported

    @lesscrazyplease @hbomax Netflix man. @netflix doesn’t have these problems.

  • kelli__green kelli caplinger 👱🏻‍♀️ (@kelli__green) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp trying to watch wonder woman 1984 on my PC and the movie simply refuses to load. tried a thousand times and nothing. I heard it wasn't working at all on micrsoft edge. if so, are you gonna fix that or am I just screwed?

  • okonomiyonda have a SPU-ky halloween, everyone (@okonomiyonda) reported

    @MissQuickstep @hbomax Everyone has Japanese but me :) Maybe it's a problem with Safari on the iPad, and I'll try again with the Apple TV appli

  • A_MakNCHEZ Mak N' Cheeeeese (@A_MakNCHEZ) reported

    @jacquiomanning @hbomax I used to work there (it was much much tamer by then)

  • TGrizzzzly A Nebraskan in a different state’s cornfield (@TGrizzzzly) reported from Kansas City, Kansas

    Anyone else having issues with @hbomax ? And no it’s not my internet.

  • ValerieSprague 🆚 (@ValerieSprague) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hate to be that person, but keep getting stalled video and error messages and have to restart in the middle of shows. This happens on laptop and TV stream, but I have no issues with HBO on Prime or Netflix, just the HBOMax app.

  • sur4dye Bernie Tiano (@sur4dye) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The suggested steps did not work. No matter what I do, my profile retains my progress. Erase, clear data / cache, restarts, etc — movie always starts where I left off — frozen on pause.

  • GehaniNeil Neil Gehani (@GehaniNeil) reported

    @Schlaeps Not a big fan of DC films. I haven't been able to watch WW84 so far, due to some problem with the stream on @hbomax. I over heard a few people saying it wasn't very good. Not worth the hype. Will have to see if true, at least I don't have to pay the theater price :-)

  • BlackGodOsiris Osiris (@BlackGodOsiris) reported

    @hbomax Things that make me cry: WW84 Because it was fuckibg terrible.

  • FPGarvin Deep State Space Force Commander🚀 (@FPGarvin) reported

    @msbutterfly1283 @hbomax Do something more fun like cleaning grout. It's awful.

  • ePlusTony Anthony Siano (@ePlusTony) reported

    @robertquast Some entertainment value, but not a great “film” per se. My biggest issue with it though is the @hbomax app on my AppleTV 4K refused to flip it to 4K even when AppleTV+ content works fine and my bandwidth was over 500Mbps...

  • RonMackPDX Ron Mack (@RonMackPDX) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp But the rest of the movie had zero issues

  • FPGarvin Deep State Space Force Commander🚀 (@FPGarvin) reported

    @hbomax This might be the worst SH out of the recent DC/Marvel studios. I thought the first one was really good, but this one was embarrassingly horrible. Such contrived situations. 🤮🤮🤮

  • lesscrazyplease Fed Up With Republicans (@lesscrazyplease) reported

    Hey @hbomax - what’s the point of letting us download offline content before we go on vacation, if the minute we get outside the US you lock us out of the app? Is there a work-around? We just want to watch the shows we already downloaded for this purpose.....help?

  • guynms26 Al Davis (@guynms26) reported

    @RyanBurnsMN @HBOMaxHelp Same thing happening tonight to me. Audio is fine but no video only on WW84. All other shows are fine. HBO MAX needs to fix this before we all cancel our subscriptions.

  • Philibuster18 Philibuster (@Philibuster18) reported

    @hbomax Immediately went to the top of the worst movies I've ever seen list. Lame story, horrible acting, laughable plot points. Can't believe this was the sequel to the first one. .005/10

  • n4matishun Soraya Assar (@n4matishun) reported

    @hbomax Awful awful awful. Kristen Wiig was the only good part. Terrible acting. Ridiculous story. I could go in but I’m still mad. It ruined Christmas Day for us.

  • sillee89 Kendra (@sillee89) reported

    Hey @hbomax I’ve been trying to watch Wonder Woman 84 all afternoon and it keeps crashing 15 secs in. I’ve deleted and re-added hbomax to my smart tv multiple times and it’s still not working. Why????? #HBOMax #WonderWoman

  • jdp19 Mask goes over your nose too (@jdp19) reported

    @Xfinity. Hi. Not sure this is your dev work, but these are on your platform, so... please reconsider launching steaming apps before they are ready. Both @hbomax and @peacockTV have very poor UX.

  • bengalblitz Splittin_Headz (@bengalblitz) reported

    @hbomax the title in which I thought was previously held by the @espn app for worst app, now goes to you. Congratulations on surpassing ESPN for the worst app ever!!! Didn’t think it could be done, but you did it!!!!

  • averygrrl avery💝s data📝charts📈& finance💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    Is there a @HBOMaxHelp? Why is the streaming quality so incredibly low in my browser? Advertisements are streaming at 1080p but everything else is streaming at variable rate ~720p. I assume I'd get 4K if I put it on my TV...

  • kathrynao Dr. Kathryn Ananda-Owens (@kathrynao) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks for trying. Troubleshooting did not help. The problem is not on our end.

  • combat_md CombatMD (@combat_md) reported

    @hbomax the video quality is poor and lagging currently. I'm sure you will blame the isp the isp will blame the modem manufacturer. Where does the buck stop with the fact that my video looks like it came off thepiratebay?

  • macysMama3 Cristina Duarte (@macysMama3) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp we just purchased HBO Max and every time we start a show, after a while the shows freeze. Then kicks us out saying it cannot play the episode. It’s happens every day 😫 #help

  • CardVillen Louis Ville (@CardVillen) reported

    @hbomax I tried watching @WonderWomanFilm tonight but the playback was incredibly choppy and unwatchable. Server issues?

  • SoWoodsy So Woodsy (@SoWoodsy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the app is terribly (unbearably) slow on PS4 and the new Roku app doesn't even work. It just crashes over and over. Is this a known issue being resolved?
