  • justjoshin__ya Josh (@justjoshin__ya) reported

    Are you even watching HBO Max if the app doesn’t crash every 20 minutes @hbomax

  • cellanotchella Marcella (@cellanotchella) reported

    @hbomax Please, please fix whatever issue is preventing me from streaming the latest episodes of In Treatment. I've been trying to watch it two days now 😩

  • scbennett scb (@scbennett) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Are you planning to fix the fact that we can’t fast forward or rewind anymore?

  • AleGtraveller AleGTraveler (@AleGtraveller) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can't stream the friends reunion! All other programming is streaming fine. Can't find a phone number to call for troubleshooting. HELP!

  • goingonajournie journie (@goingonajournie) reported

    the content on @hbomax is great but the subtitles are awful. I watch w/subs to help with audio processing and the subs are often incorrect or just won’t show up at all for a whole sentence. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for people who are actually deaf or HOH

  • scbennett scb (@scbennett) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I don’t know what you did to the Apple TV app but fast forwarding or rewinding is almost impossible. It just keeps rolling and rolling and never stops. Fix it please this update is terrible. First the Mare of Easttown finale debacle, now this.

  • TADO4REAL Jose AKA Tado🗽 (@TADO4REAL) reported

    @CtCleveland @hbomax I’m having r same problem but I just press play and it goes back to what I was watching

  • NotBibby @Nann_Nigga Burner Account (@NotBibby) reported

    @hbomax so janky on the ps5 can I get a update that makes the app work with no issue

  • fscotty99 fscotty #StopAsianHate (@fscotty99) reported

    @scbennett @HBOMaxHelp I think they changed it for the ad supported version so that the new progress bar can be highlighted to indicate ad sections… but if only the scrubbing would behave fine then I wouldn’t be too mad about it, but the Siri remote functionalities don’t work now

  • Ever007Thefirst ThefirstEver007 (@Ever007Thefirst) reported

    @hbomax etc. @mcgregorvsmax2 I LIVE IN #ALBUQUERQUE NON-EXTRADITABLE AND THE NUMBER 1 DESTINATION IN THE WORLD FOR MOVIES #193FILMS HAS BROKEN THE INDUSTRY TREND AND PLANS TO DISTRIBUTE 117 FILMS in next 12 months! 5:43pm #shatteringRecords

  • DenisSulce Denis (@DenisSulce) reported

    @hbomax how is it you are the most expensive streaming app, but have the worst app for Samsung TVs? Get your **** together.

  • DylanG211 Dylan Gordon⛳️ (@DylanG211) reported

    @hbomax is anyone else having problems with the most recent update?

  • faroutspacetick Jason B (@faroutspacetick) reported

    @hbomax The PS4 app keeps giving us Service Code errors ever since it updated this morning.

  • TheDeafination Snarky Snark Mark (@TheDeafination) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No error messages. I’m watching on an Xbox one. The problem seems to go away if I restart the show I’m watching once or twice.

  • dalalondon Daniella London🇺🇸 (@dalalondon) reported

    @hbomax Nothing is streaming. Your app is awful!!!

  • RobSchnapp (((Rob Schnapp))) (@RobSchnapp) reported

    Grrr 😖 c’mon @hbomax and @LGUS Smart TV... can’t you work together?

  • FredDouglasV X (@FredDouglasV) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I could not recommend this app to anyone. Most broken, inattentive app ever made. These companies take all your money and don’t even provide refunds for the service you didn’t get. Canceling HBO max for a 3rd and final time. Joke service.

  • Jpatking ✈Jpat✈ (@Jpatking) reported from Midland, Texas

    @hbomax has the best shows and movies with the WORST APP super frustrating smh

  • n1ckam Nick (@n1ckam) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp whatever you’ve done to your Apple TV app can you undo it? You’ve taken a mediocre app and somehow made it awful. The inshow controls are useless now. Also your parental controls have always sucked and still do. Check out Netflix app if you want some tips. @hbomax

  • Freethe19426686 Freethepeople (@Freethe19426686) reported

    @hbomax No its not. Fix the ******* thing

  • curlsaa this thing (@curlsaa) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @Nikki_ellena Hey i’ve been experiencing problems on the Xbox app version, not seeing impractical jokers there

  • my_kl Michael Welch (@my_kl) reported

    Holy crap did they bust this app. It’s completely unusable if you want to rewind or fast forward. Might just have to cancel @hbomax until they fix this.

  • dalalondon Daniella London🇺🇸 (@dalalondon) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp once again can’t watch any content on X1 box. Tried to reboot twice. This is ridiculous! Such a shame it’s the only place to watch Friends. Awful app.

  • my_kl Michael Welch (@my_kl) reported

    The @hbomax app on Apple TV seems to have had a terrible update. Closed captioning switches to Spanish every time you restart it. I have no idea how to control playback anymore. The standard click left and right doesn’t work anymore. And if you pause and try to scrub with

  • StaciMonahan Staci Delesandri-Monahan (@StaciMonahan) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax this subtitle issue halfway through @GomorrahSeries really??? How did you miss such an important feature? The dubbing is soooo bad. Not watching until it’s fixed so back to Netflix we go - call them and ask how they do it

  • Burrows2018 Claude Burrows (@Burrows2018) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp crashed 4 straight times on roku, is their an issue?

  • elpadredebolsas PO (@elpadredebolsas) reported

    @hbomax @HBO the library is good but the user experience is below average. I can’t watch #Gomorrah with the crappy English overdub. Subtitles don’t work a lot of times, an episode ends and won’t automatically go to the next one. Please fix this stuff. #HBOMax #HBO

  • CraigDesign Craig P (@CraigDesign) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp third day of AppleTV trouble with your app. All software updated. I tried the sign out/sign in. Didn’t work. I deleted and re downloaded and it worked for half a day, but crashing again. Tried all the fixes posted.

  • GayTrapJew Jew (@GayTrapJew) reported

    @hbomax y’all my favorite streaming service but this error every 10 minutes **** is annoying fix it before I come piss on your servers and **** one of your engineers
