    @skrutsick @hbomax @HBO Yea pirating is a tough thing cause you wanna support the people who created it but hate supporting the awful corporations running it all.

  • kmichaelrussell Kurt Michael Russell (@kmichaelrussell) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Xbox Series X. This is the only show in which it's a problem.

  • DebraDouville debra douville (@DebraDouville) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp still having issues “seeing” the dragons on my Amazon fire stick 4k. I’ve done everything from turning tv off, clearing data and cache, uninstalling and re-installing and still. The images don’t show. I can view everything else but the dragons. Please help

  • urstrulyGS Srikar (@urstrulyGS) reported

    @soundu0018 @hbomax Quality taggaledu 🔥🔥

  • KimmyWho Kimmy Delgado (@KimmyWho) reported

    @hbomax anytime I try to use your platform in doesn’t work. I select a show, it starts show and within 30 seconds it is rerouting to my tv’s home page repeat times 30. Along with all the content you’ve deleted lately I should be at least be able to view what is available.

  • wawasense Wawasense (@wawasense) reported

    @Xfinity @MasterClass @hbomax Does Xfinity Stream ever actually work??

  • HappyAccident31 James Holden (@HappyAccident31) reported

    @Aertho1 @ventsurlonde @hbomax Having technical difficulties is not the same as paying for something and not receiving it. The whole app works except it was having problems playing one show probably the high demand since it’s a new show. You see it all the time with streaming services

  • GeorgeJetson104 George Jetson (@GeorgeJetson104) reported

    @hbomax your app keeps freezing and no it’s not my internet. I have no issues streaming other providers, just yours

  • pineapplechaos бандит (@pineapplechaos) reported

    @hbomax house of the dragon premiered Sunday and any attempt to watch it so far has been pointless. Do you guys know when or if it will properly work?

  • KettleCorn1234 NC Momma (@KettleCorn1234) reported

    Hey @HBOMaxHelp - why is your streaming service terrible? Get this bug fixed!

  • Colleen_Quinn ✨Colleen 📚👩‍👧♌️✨ (@Colleen_Quinn) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @hbomax with signing in with your service provider? It keeps prompting me to make an account. I just want to see the dragons 🐉 🔥

  • alexh0y nah (@alexh0y) reported from Pembroke Pines, Florida

    @hbomax making the worst decisions known to man

  • kmichaelrussell Kurt Michael Russell (@kmichaelrussell) reported

    Hey @hbomax fix your subtitles on Hard Knocks. They are consistently terribly out of sync, even on demand.

  • dunleymm M Dunley (@dunleymm) reported

    @hbomax the app is running poorly on both ps4 and Xbox series x. Frame rate lags, skips, and gets hung up constantly, across all shows/movies. Please update the app to fix these issues or I will unsubscribe.

  • dunleymm M Dunley (@dunleymm) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No, none of those things are the issue. I have done the troubleshooting. Your app is running poorly on multiple platforms, even more than just PlayStation and Xbox. Something is wrong with the app and it’s functionality. I can get better quality by pirating.

  • pleasegive10mil wakanda1966 (@pleasegive10mil) reported

    @GRRMspeaking @HBO @hbomax My Venmo is wakanda196610million. As a kid I might have thought I could grow up and fix the problems in society, but now I just want to write because it is what I enjoy. However I am not making any money from it, and wish I could do what I love so much for a living.

  • Aertho1 Aertho (@Aertho1) reported

    @HappyAccident31 @ventsurlonde @hbomax Imagine that the cable company tells you that they'll be out to fix it in a month, but charges you for the whole month. We do see it all the time with streaming services, but that's due to not putting the infrastructure in place to deliver the product they've already sold.

  • JusteSharlene Sharlene (@JusteSharlene) reported

    Something has got to give with @HBOMax’s terrible UX… I can’t rewind ANYTHING without it freezing. Why am I shelling out 15 of my hard earned dollars a month for THIS!!!??

  • EpicPseudonym 🦇 Kayla 🦇 (@EpicPseudonym) reported

    @hbomax and @hulu fix your apps. I have the correct passwords.

  • mrkpring Kristopher Pring (@mrkpring) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Well now that that useless comment from “HBOMaxHelp” is out of the way… I’m just curious if anyone actually knows why the show is missing that last few minutes in that one particular episode #CloseEnough. Music rights? Controversy? The issue is on every platform I’ve checked.

  • Merlynizawizard Merlyn Florez (@Merlynizawizard) reported

    @hbomax So much coming, only to remove quality content? Do you guys plan on buying illumination? Cause it's despicable

  • Merlynizawizard Merlyn Florez (@Merlynizawizard) reported

    @hbomax Kinda like how you guys have thrown so much quality content into said dragon fire?

  • eriksmith_ Erik (@eriksmith_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thx for the nice buffering 3 dots. U suck… u suck so hard.. so so poor LITERALLY EVERY OTHER APP… no issue

  • ConnerCherwa Conner (@ConnerCherwa) reported

    @blasian1nvasion @HBOMaxHelp Damn I just went into the app real quick to see if I was having the same problem and my whole HBO max app is messed up might just be an error on their end

  • kroschro kro (@kroschro) reported

    HBO Max streaming sucks. Can’t go more than a minute without glitch. @hbomax

  • vahid_ntz Vahid 👺 (@vahid_ntz) reported

    Young Justice cancelled. This is the worst day of my life @hbomax ya moms a ***

  • KevinKindelber2 Kip K (@KevinKindelber2) reported

    @hbomax I am a big Guillermo del Toro fan. Haven't seen Mimic since 97, it says you have the Director's Cut, which is right below the Theatrical Version, under the Extras Tab,yet it's the same as the Theatrical Version, hopefully you fix this as I hear the latter is far superior

  • bandicot Benson (@bandicot) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My issue was resolved by opening a different show and disabling subtitles. Fire TV cube.

  • joelasala Joe LaSala (@joelasala) reported

    Though I have to say the @hbomax version was terrible. Cuts off so much of the picture. Had to switch to my dvd. Physical media wins again

  • lizdecoster Liz De Coster (@lizdecoster) reported

    @YrBusinesslady @hbomax Also a negative in the @hbomax column is their terrible both-sides January 6th documentary. Terrible choices across the board.
