    Quick question.. what did you watch in 2020? I was a huge fan of Search Party and Flight Attendant. @hbomax is doing it right, I think it might be time to say goodbye to @netflix... you can't raise prices while lowering quality =/

  • HomeSmoking Home Smoking (@HomeSmoking) reported

    @hbomax @wbpictures Can y’all please make the fast forward and rewind feature work better? It takes way too long to skip through if you need to. And can you also make it so that when an episode of a show is finished you can just skip to the next one if you choose to? On a Samsung TV at least?

  • TishPetty CT Petty (@TishPetty) reported

    @hbomax D+ movie. C- maybe cause of the actors were good. Story is terrible. Character development is terrible.

    @HBOMaxHelp I have tried resetting my password 5 times now but it won’t work. I have gone through the email link and everytime I try to log in after it says wrong password. This has been going on since yesterday. There is absolutely zero help on your website

  • PRIGomerPyle Leonard Lawrence (@PRIGomerPyle) reported

    @Dolby @hbomax @DolbyCinema Don't believe the hype. This is a complete snooze fest. It's a total waste of great talent. Nothing happens and at a snail's pace. The only redeeming quality of this film is that the cast and crew got paid to work during Covid.

  • Danny_Bandit Dantastik (@Danny_Bandit) reported

    @hbomax your app for PS4 ******* sucks...fix it

  • jd_is_lost JD \(^o^)/ (@jd_is_lost) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I really wish you folks could sort out your general volume leveling issues.

  • number1gator Steve (@number1gator) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Tried on a Amazon Fire Cube and then tried on my MacBook where it did the same. I tested watching ballers and it didn't buffer. Also since I gave up on the little things I started watching Netflix and its fine.

  • DarleneW42 Darlene Woodman (@DarleneW42) reported

    @hbomax Season 3 was some of the worst television I've ever seen. Did they run out of ideas? Six of the episodes should have been put into one episode. It was tough to watch. I kept hoping for a breakthrough. Just awful, and I loved this series! What a disaster.

  • salsaviolinista Maya Ginsberg (@salsaviolinista) reported

    .@hbomax @HBOMaxHelp Why is #possessions so badly dubbed? If you choose Spanish, you get English subtitles with bad dubbing over the French. Choosing English gets you nothing. Please fix so we can watch with original audio and subtitles.

  • lacexwarrior kelsey culhane (@lacexwarrior) reported

    @optimum @hbomax Internet has been down for almost entire days and now you’re ignoring my messages/tweets on Twitter. I call every day and nothing gets solved and it is affecting my work. I have had other customers dming me that they were also ignored while others got support. Come on....

  • MyComedyStore MyComedyStore.com (@MyComedyStore) reported

    @hbomax when your big movies first launch I can only stream the audio for the first few days. The screen is black. All other movies work on your app.

    @WhittierCollege @hbomax @fionnatejada Literally the worst movie 🎥 I’ve ever seen

  • PaOfKalEL enjoyinh the season (@PaOfKalEL) reported

    That was the worst...talk about blue *****. Like are you serious? Thank god I didn’t put for this...besides my HBO lol. Don’t y’all *** do that again. Out here with these bad movies...#TheLittleThings @hbomax #hbomax

  • number1gator Steve (@number1gator) reported

    @Slidepiece @HBOMaxHelp Have the same issue, how did you adjust it to 1080p?

  • alexu2020 Alex (@alexu2020) reported

    I'll never understand how @ATT @hbomax can have such terrible app for the PS4.

  • 2ndClassClown Gene Parmesan (@2ndClassClown) reported

    @wbpictures @hbomax Awful. Just awful

  • JeanLucMeisel Sir Jean Luc Connery, FIREBALL IGG (@JeanLucMeisel) reported

    @wbpictures @hbomax What a terrible movie. It was senseless. What cop drive out to the middle of the desert and follows a criminals demands to dig holes all night. Just ridiculous.

  • off2cdwzrd Off2cdwzrd (@off2cdwzrd) reported

    @Seth91370410 @hbomax It's called a psychological thriller. No gunfights. No explosions. No car crashes. No fist fights. No special effects. No broken glass. No need for suspension of disbelief. Just people using their wits, instinct and emotions. And some moral ambiguity for good measure.

  • leofutebol14 Leomar López (@leofutebol14) reported from Pembroke Pines, Florida

    @hbomax HBO Max is the worst idea of att, it doesn’t work. Meanwhile AT&T always is looking the way to still money of the customers inventing International phones never done, just with the intention ti get some profit. AT&T is a nasty company create to still.

  • Ninidoozle Michelle Smith (@Ninidoozle) reported

    @hbomax Every device I’ve tried watching this movie on has the same issue. The movie keeps freezing. 😖 Not happening with other shows on Hbomax

  • adriandean1977 Adrian Wooldridge (@adriandean1977) reported

    @hbomax Don’t waste your time. The movie was terrible and drug out.

  • Lakers_887 dubya (@Lakers_887) reported

    @hbomax Truly terrible. I wish I could get those two hours back of my life

  • Seth91370410 Seth (@Seth91370410) reported

    @hbomax Denzel was great but this movie was awful- slow and hard to watch

  • WJS_2718 Jeffery S. (@WJS_2718) reported

    @Ganjaseuur @wbpictures @hbomax I agree... the entire movie was awful. I don’t know how they call it a thriller

  • chadehess4 Chad Hess (@chadehess4) reported

    @hbomax figure out your streaming service. Tried streaming Wonder Woman 2 opening weekend and doesn’t work. Now it’s happening with The Little Things

  • AutisticAt4eist Castle: Jedi Curmudgeon, Anti-theist, Autistic. (@AutisticAt4eist) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp You folks need to seriously consider switching away from whatever company is currently doing your closed captioning. I have yet to watch anything on HBO Max without at least three errors in the captions, some affecting context. All the DC Animated movies, as example.

  • sch00l2pris0n ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ (@sch00l2pris0n) reported

    @hbomax Also it’s super unclear how to get in contact with customer service through the website... LIKE what IM ACTUALLY SO CONFUSED BY THIS YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH MONEY BUT YOU COULDNT AFFORD A WORKING SIGN IN PORTAL?!?!?!!

  • BfoxyDc TheBearJewDC🇺🇸 (@BfoxyDc) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @hbomax you are the worst app. No. I don’t want to go online and sign in with a ******* code. I paid my monthly subscription and I want to watch content on my TV!!!!!
