  • Conspire4Fun Tired of Crap (@Conspire4Fun) reported

    I would like a personal apology from @rolandemmerich for wasting 2 hours of my life with one of the worst movies I have ever seen. #moonfall was a joke and I think I am going to ask @hbomax to prorate my bill to get a refund for that time. #trash

  • TheHENOOB HENOOB (@TheHENOOB) reported

  • ludwikc Ludwik C. Siadlak (@ludwikc) reported

    What's going on with @hbomax? Every time I extend my MacBook display to iPad, the screen on HBO Max goes blank. Sound and controls work, but there's no video. I understand DRMs, not letting people do screenshots, etc, but that's too much. Don't ya think?

  • GoatWater2 Soule (@GoatWater2) reported

    Austin Butler as Elvis is currently on @hbomax Great performance. I can't say enough. Sorry but as I am saying this..I can't help but think of a joke Eddie Murphy said about Elvis 🎼 we gotta win this race

  • Chaster_Ram Chaster Ram (@Chaster_Ram) reported

  • SirWestmoore ɘяoomtƨɘWяiƧ ➐ (@SirWestmoore) reported

    @Jeanna350 @HBO @hbomax Makes no sense as to why HBO doesn’t have it on it’s app. Some sort of licensing issue now or something perhaps?🤔🤔🤔🤔

  • LanzatellaMel Mel Lanzatella (@LanzatellaMel) reported

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax The new episode was SUCH a mess. Scattered, difficult to follow what was even going on in that stupid useless "battle" and I mean, what an awful choice for the antagonist, which should be bad guy but INTERESTING @ least! Just awful. SO disappointing.

  • DarthSlade DarthSlade (@DarthSlade) reported

    @hbomax please fire your UI designer. This is one of the worst user interfaces I have ever used.Good lord just trying to get back to the home sidebar and getting caught in a loop of swiping left through the carousel. It is bad. How did you not test this?

  • desishae5 destini (@desishae5) reported

    Whoever decided to make #TheTimeTravelersWife a series should NOT have or needed a better writer and director! The whole plot is horrible and @RoseELeslie character Claire is beyond awful! After 3 episodes I turned it off! If you enjoy the movie DO NOT watch the series! @hbomax

  • CakeKunyakorn Ck Kunyakorn (@CakeKunyakorn) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Forever showing the loading icon and nothing else! On my Samsung TV Q95T. This is the first time I use HBO and it’s not a good experience. Very frustrating to be paying for something that didn’t work. Gotta cancel the subscription right away.

  • ShhhSmokey Lil Sig (@ShhhSmokey) reported

    Having to buy a VPN because @hbomax won’t allow you to watch new shows in Spanish @HouseofDragon . So you have to show that your in a different country lowering the picture quality to be able to understand SMH.

  • meanwhatchyasay Joe (@meanwhatchyasay) reported

    Real question, is the @hbomax app on streaming devices the absolute worst app to have to sign in to? Goddamn I do hate poorly designed software. @HBOMaxHelp, your app on streaming platforms is ****.

  • Afae39 Anastasia F (@Afae39) reported

    Hey @hbomax I can't for the life of me get CC/subtitles to turn off no matter what I do. I've googled, tried everything I can find, and still they show up. Can you help?

  • jdluk87 Luca (@jdluk87) reported

    Off Twitter for a while now, had to come back for this. @PrimeVideo new UI on Apple TV. You had to copy the worst animation from @hbomax app when moving from tile to tile ah? -.-

  • SoxLifeNW Brett Davis (@SoxLifeNW) reported

    @hbomax Well, Flight attendant was blatantly obvious how it would end. Plus, its a terrible premise (unless only doing like 3 seasons). HQ is just a badass. They are not the same
