    @HBOMaxHelp why don’t you fix your ps4 app. It has been crap since launch and now it won’t even load. It’s a widespread issue if you would check Twitter.

  • loves2napp Ian Cox (@loves2napp) reported

    @OkieSpaceQueen @hbomax I had some trouble with it on our Roku a couple of times, but after restarting it, all good.

  • FernetBroncho MF Broncho (@FernetBroncho) reported

    @loves2napp @OkieSpaceQueen @hbomax It's pretty consistent for me but yeah I have issues with Roku crashing most of my apps

  • EffWebsite CaitlynJenner4CAgov 🇺🇸 ✡️ (@EffWebsite) reported

    @iDreaminFlowers @wbpictures @hbomax Yep. It’s awful they do this.

  • nlw820 Nancy Wood (@nlw820) reported

    @hbomax @Roku What is with the ongoing issues with compatibility between the two of you on my Roku Express? It’s the only app I use that consistently has trouble loading and crashes.

  • _Skraight Drake. (@_Skraight) reported

    @hbomax please fix your subtitles, they are HUGE and take up half the screen when trying to watch a movie.

  • generationclips genera+ion clips out of context (@generationclips) reported

    @szarng @hbomax Tell me about it, bestie! At this point, @hbomax should also be paying the fans because we’ve been doing their work for almost two months now ! Sorry for taking over your tweet but we had to take that opportunity to promote 😭 #renewgeneration

  • boltonrocks MSizz (@boltonrocks) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve tried everything from the help page and wasted an hour of my day off. To reiterate— how do I get my money back!?’b

  • BeccaSayre becca (@BeccaSayre) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp PS4 app throws the CE-34878-0 error. Everything's updated and I deleted/re-installed and restarted. Only your app is broken -- I assume the update broke it. What's up?

  • juliet_warriner Juliet Warriner (@juliet_warriner) reported

    Why do I never have any problems with my other streaming services, but for the past month @hbomax will just continually buffer every time I use it, no matter which tv it’s on ?!🙃😩 we pay too much for this app to be so bad

  • feoh POKE 756,224 (@feoh) reported

    @hbomax Love the service, it's fantastic! Just want to let you know that the @Samsung smart TV app has some rather serious bugs. I need to reboot the TV frequently when running it and it has trouble exiting cleanly. Thanks!

  • TimboDrake_ Black Air Force Activity (@TimboDrake_) reported

    Rush Hour 2 on @hbomax has delayed sound fix this ****

  • ntotten Nathan Totten (@ntotten) reported

    @mgonto @hbomax strategic advantage. So they reason, it’s slow today, but they will fix it and eventually it will scale or make it easier to build new products or whatever. Maybe it will, most likely it won’t. But they have to play the game and “align” with other teams.

  • malaynadawn malaynadawn (@malaynadawn) reported

    @hbomax — your rewind still is infuriating and doesn’t work like every other streaming service does.

  • Axellent33 🇺🇸🤘🏻Axel Robertson🤘🏻🇺🇸 (@Axellent33) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp please fix your Xbox app. It keeps freezing and crashing. It has been since I first subscribed. I’m not paying a subscription for a subpar app that doesn’t work

  • TAzaz808 TheAzaz808 (@TAzaz808) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp hbo max im just trying to watch looney toons then i get a grey screen then an error this has happened 3 times now once like a week or so ago last night and just now help

  • ToinettesPouf Toinette’s Pouf (@ToinettesPouf) reported

    Dear @hbomax, I was all set to subscribe to your service for @DCTitans but with that awful parody of an 8 year old boy residing in the UK? Forget it. Are you proud of promoting public bullying of a child? Unacceptable.

  • jtodd315 Joseph Todd (@jtodd315) reported

    @NaneaT17 @hbomax Same, its the worst when it just keeps repeating like 3 sec in mid movie

  • Esssahn CampariZaddy (@Esssahn) reported

    Hey @hbomax ? What happened? There’s always been interface issues but lately nothing works like it used to. Ps4, chrome cast, iPhone etc etc. just frozen screens, buttons that do nothing, crashes, can’t stop/ff/rewind/paise, & the list goes on and on.

  • playpiece playpiece 🥪 (@playpiece) reported

    @hbomax your new (mandatory!) app update is too large for Samsung TVs?? There needs to be a fix, that’s ridiculous.

  • JustJoe88 Joe Vasquez (@JustJoe88) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have been having issues with pausing, rewind and fast forward for weeks on my Amazon Firestick HBO max app. I don’t have this issue with any other app. What can be done to fix this?

  • bridgetsaraa Bridget (@bridgetsaraa) reported

    @hbomax FIX YOUR FAST FORWARD AND REWIND FUNCTIONS

  • RsflyFreda Resourcefully Freda | Freda 🇺🇸 (@RsflyFreda) reported

    If @BlakeMoynes doesn’t work out on #TheBachelorette he can try out for #FBOYISLAND on @hbomax

  • KANYEISMYDAD Don (@KANYEISMYDAD) reported

    wtf is the issue @hbomax????

  • ToddRightNow Todd Right Now (@ToddRightNow) reported

    @hbomax is the worst streaming platform of them all. You’re lucky if you can load a show before it crashes, freezes, or buffers forever.

  • Jay93942791 Jay (@Jay93942791) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp A fire stick the delay is awful it seems to be off a couple of clicks

  • SKIPW94 (@SKIPW94) reported

    Can y’all fix the app @hbomax
