    @WickedYetKind @HBOMaxHelp robyn, i think you have the right idea. nothing is more frustrating than paying for something that won't work. sadly, this product looks like it doesn't work. i am cancelling this weekend. i'll miss some of the shows. but what's the choice? it doesn't work anyway.

  • AmberlinTanneh1 Amberlin (@AmberlinTanneh1) reported

    @hbomax what is up with the rewind and fast forward? You HAVE to fix this. It’s making your app unwatchable.

  • kellbelle65 Kelly Hunsberger (@kellbelle65) reported

    @hbomax Nice line up this month.. Too bad that HBOMAX platform keeps throwing us out. Not sure what the problem is. None of the other streaming channels are doing this...but it isn't worth the money if you can't watch it.

  • RobSpoils Rob Spoils Everything (@RobSpoils) reported

    For some reason the @roku @hbomax app is showing a "sign in" button instead of a play button, despite it having recognized my profile, and when I click that it's telling me to contact my nonexistent TV provider.

  • NiqueG_22 Tasha Mack (@NiqueG_22) reported

    Again fix this janky app. Why can’t people rewind? @hbomax

  • mmerzer Martin Merzer (@mmerzer) reported

    @hbomax The HBO Max app through Xfinity has been broken for days. It allows us to sign in (most of the time) and select a program (Hacks or In The Heights, etc.), but it just loops back to the selection page or reports "unexpected error." Get your acts together, pls.

  • TLindsey_Coach TL (@TLindsey_Coach) reported

    is @hbomax always so laggy? wow paying $15 a month to have lag after lag after lag......its not my computer, netflix, peackock, hulu all work fine. but not HBO Max.....are you not able to play it while working in other windows either?

  • IamJohnSimon Private Figure (@IamJohnSimon) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp please fix the FF/Rewind feature 😩

  • tgrumm tara grumm (@tgrumm) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Having issues getting a movie to play in your app on Xfinity. Any ideas?

  • HireBlackPpl Robbie Sinclair Stan Account (@HireBlackPpl) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @cjrichmond15 because FF and rewind is terrible there too.

  • Okonkwo_b Adaeze B. Okonkwo (@Okonkwo_b) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @fagoraphobia Same issue here. I use the HBO max website to stream and fast forwarding is a nightmare. It slows down or stops playing altogether.

  • Gt2hvfriends Sue Johnson (@Gt2hvfriends) reported

    Why do I have to go to Twitter to determine why @hbomax is not working? Ridiculous.

  • LikePez NezLikePez🇺🇸🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈 (@LikePez) reported

    @hbomax Audio description feature activated even with audio set to "original". Your app (TV) is unusable atm. Any suggestions?

  • k_leach Kristin (@k_leach) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No update available on the app or Fire Stick. Did all troubleshooting again, cleared data, uninstalled app then reinstalled, still not working.

  • bigperm1010 bigperm1010 (@bigperm1010) reported

    @hbomax @KingJames Your app SUCKS on Samsung Smart TV. Subscribed since you started, but the last month its UNUSABLE. Complete joke and waste of money. Freezing right now during Fast and the Furious.

  • ATXgossipDani Dani at ATXgossip.com & Austin.com (@ATXgossipDani) reported

    Is anyone else having problems getting In The Heights to play on HBO Max? @intheheights @hbomax

  • thefon61 ChiTownStrosFan (@thefon61) reported

    @TiffanyInSTL @HBOMaxHelp I would like to know if this is an issue with the Firestick. I try to rewind or FF, and then the remote just doesn't acknowledge the stop/play button anymore. If I don't exit out of your app completely, the movie will rewind all the way to the end.

  • currlygurrl DarcieB (@currlygurrl) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp what’s going on with the audio descriptions? No matter what I watch I can’t turn them off. What am I doing wrong? Never been a problem before.

  • longislpatriot Eileen J (@longislpatriot) reported

    @hbomax @KingJames Your app doesn’t work.

  • vanwingera Alexa V (@vanwingera) reported

    Dear @hbomax your Roku tv app is absolute trash. It closes out after starting shows or movies to the point we don’t understand why your app costs that much when it doesn’t work more than once a week. And, it’s not our internet because every other streaming app is just fine.
