    @duddersj @hbomax The worst part is that they could just rip the files from the DVDs and post those on HBO Max, and it would be a vast improvement.

  • JoanMos67129782 Joan Moss (@JoanMos67129782) reported

    @FinnDawg1981 @hbomax It’s amazing how awful you have to be that not even Colin Firth can make you seem appealing. The acting and directing is fantastic, though.

  • cpthammer81 Cpthammer (@cpthammer81) reported

    @hbomax so eve. Are you going to fix all these issues, language defaults to Spanish every single time it loads, that's if it loads which can take up to ten minutes to reach the menu and then it freezes at least 2 or 3 times through a show? #hbostealingmymoney

  • AcidSugar1414 AcydSugar💜 (@AcidSugar1414) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Sorry I don’t trust Twitter with my issues. Is there a more official spot to leave feedback/bug reports? (2nd time asking)

  • Cheatsy76 Cheatsy (@Cheatsy76) reported

    @TequilaDanKC @hbomax Lena Dunham is the worst.

  • KHowlett1981 K (@KHowlett1981) reported

    @hbomax Your Apple TV app ******* SUCKS. The UX is terrible, impossible to navigate, if I want to find anything beyond the first screen, I have to use the search function because of how broken the other functions of the app are

  • inhumaninterest 𝕄𝔼𝕀𝔻𝔸𝕊 #𝟘𝟘𝟘𝟛𝟚𝟜 (@inhumaninterest) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Looks like it’s working now, it was on AppleTV. Received an error screen when I tried to play anything

  • ABallesteros219 Αλέξανδρος (@ABallesteros219) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve tried all of that. But I’ve read that Samsung smart tvs have the worst problems with HBO streaming. Why is that?

  • EndinStealth Endin (@EndinStealth) reported

    @OscarB_nice @WestworldHBO @hbomax I know everyone has a different opinion, and that's good, but to me 2 is the worst of the 3.

  • ajarch611 Ashton James Archule (@ajarch611) reported

    @hbomax @hbomax are you broken 😵‍💫

  • IncredibleJohnY IncredibleJohn (@IncredibleJohnY) reported

    The android tv app for @hbomax is absolutely terrible, very buggy

  • chanurn DuckDuckHo (@chanurn) reported

    @pepesgrandma This is a terrible move @hbomax. You are going from the best programming and must have service to the same garbage as failed CNN+

  • ABallesteros219 Αλέξανδρος (@ABallesteros219) reported

    @hbomax never works on my tv. Idk why I pay for the service when all@it does is buffer and kick me off. I can literally never watch my shows on here. What’s going on? I’m about to cancel.

  • NattEp8S1 Natt 🏳️‍🌈 ♒ (@NattEp8S1) reported

    Idk what's up with my @hbomax account but I pay too much for it to act like it doesn't want to work...

  • IncredibleJohnY IncredibleJohn (@IncredibleJohnY) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Making the video and audio desync, like it cuts into the episode whereas the audio is behind because the audio follows the proper cut, if you want I can list an episode where this problem occurs, I can also record this with my phone, like film my TV.

  • projectLeasa Leasa Epps-Eisele (@projectLeasa) reported

    Omg @hbomax I’ve been trying to watch something for reference for the past 3 days and the App is NOT WORKING. All my other streaming works! I emptied the cache, deleted and reinstalled. Ahhhhh!

  • driptechniques Johnny Unique (@driptechniques) reported

    @emob_ @hbomax I have issues with that app on my ps4 all the time.

  • philssomm25 Phil (@philssomm25) reported

    @hbomax Please fix your app

  • Agent_Dell Agent_Dell (@Agent_Dell) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp NOT necessary,i already restarted my router and disconnected every single wire then re-connected everything after 5 minutes and yet the problem still persist,and NO I don't wanna DM you as people need to know exactly what's going on with y'all's app

  • t_cadman TCadman (@t_cadman) reported

    @CampaignLegends QUOTE AND REPLY TO HIGHLIGHT Martin Stein He was very rigid but so very excited about science and being able to help. He was a good opposite to Jax. They worked together in their own way. #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow @hbomax

  • eddieb187 eddieb187 (@eddieb187) reported

    @hbomax Latest update to your Roku App has broken Dolby Vision. DV titles now play HDR10 only Please update your Roku App to fix this Thank you

  • bukerwest1 odiseawest (@bukerwest1) reported

    @hbomax Ur app always issues on Samsung tv. Fixed that

  • mantix_one goldinmyte.eth 🔺 (@mantix_one) reported

    yo @hbomax is the worst app ever created. It has great content, but it simply does not work around half the time or so. If you can't access the great content, it's garbage.

  • Agent_Dell Agent_Dell (@Agent_Dell) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have great internet and NONE of the other apps I use causes this buffering problem at all,Netflix Amazon Prime Hulu Paramount+ Disney+ Tubi Tv all work fantastic,but yet HBOMAX app is working like the equivalent of 💩💩 yet I'm paying a premium price,no thanks!

  • NotSickamore Sickamore (@NotSickamore) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp y’all might have the worst UI ever. I click episodes and it’s the wrong ones. I click play next episode and it’s the same one. Can’t browse other episodes from the screen, have to go all the way to home… cmon fix your TV UI

  • cappy4219 Crime against Nature (@cappy4219) reported

    Does anyone know why I can’t find Our Flag Means Death on @hbomax on my @hulu App? Have seen the first episode would love to the see the rest and it’s just not there. Google was no help. #OurFlagMeansDeath

  • Crossdive1 Off The Cut (@Crossdive1) reported

    @hbomax No thanks, The Matrix Resurrections was a car crash and an affront to the original trilogy. In my mind it’s not even canon. Why not offer us something we actually want instead? #RestoreTheSnyderVerse and #ReleaseTheAyerCut come to mind!

  • dam_wally Oh_Dam_Wally (@dam_wally) reported

    Hey @hbomax fix your streaming app. It's 2022 why is my app always buffering??

  • Captain__Blast Captain_Blast (@Captain__Blast) reported

    @hbomax @hbomaxmovies @HBOMaxHelp why can't we watch Harry Potter 3? It's been over 2 weeks and I'm still seeing an error

  • AcidSugar1414 AcydSugar💜 (@AcidSugar1414) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I don’t need basic troubleshooting, but thank you. Where can I report issues for the Apple TV app though?
