    @red1nk @hbomax I really dont think the animation technique is the problem here

  • rmanzo77 RC 🇺🇸💪 (@rmanzo77) reported

    @mfrasmussen2856 @hbomax Very true. But I noticed all movies on @hbomax buffer every few minutes. So annoying. And it's not my internet speed as I have fiber in my area. They really need to get it together

  • SparkyPhoenix85 Drew Freeman (@SparkyPhoenix85) reported

    Seriously @HBOMaxHelp what gives???! I’m struggling to get through just the opening of this damn movie after two days of coming back to trying to watch friggin @GodzillaVsKong it’s choppy and stuttering and pausing and buffering like crazy - had NO problems with anything else!!!!

  • 6ixgod_ Rico Wade (@6ixgod_) reported

    .@hbomax I’m tired of being a sound engineer. Fix the audio between dialogue and sound effects

  • BoondyAlBoondy Alessandro (@BoondyAlBoondy) reported

    Tonight's viewing of #FalconAndWinterSoldier featured none of the buffering issues that we experienced with #GodzillaVsKong ... So that means either @Ask_Spectrum managed to get their act together, or it was actually @hbomax's fault after all! #PowerBroker

  • Clumsy_Monster Nathan Cole (@Clumsy_Monster) reported

    @hbomax what do I do when your app won’t let me watch anything and just keeps giving me longs error codes? Thanks.

  • RobertSawaryn Robert Sawaryn (@RobertSawaryn) reported

    @volcanocomics @snydercut @hbomax We need Zack Snyder to film a movie 6 years ago and compile it together into 4 hours? Synder is a movie director.. much more than 4 hours to fix that garbage

  • truckerfuck Trucker **** (@truckerfuck) reported

    @hbomax Fix the ******* line already

  • roostercw Clayton Whitehead (@roostercw) reported

    @hbomax there is a white line down the side of my Samsung tv. It only happens with your app. Look into it, please fix, thx.

  • 1776Murika YOYOYO (@1776Murika) reported

    @hbomax IM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED BY THIS COMPANY. YESTERDAY I MADE 2 SUBSCRIPTION (1 THRU AMAZON ANOTHER ON THE WEBSITE) ON A ATTEMPT TO WATCH A MOVIE WITH MY SON. FOR MY SURPRISE IT ONLY WORK THRU MY TV PROVIDER AND YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP USING THE SAME EMAIL

  • DanielWClarkDWC Daniel William Clark (@DanielWClarkDWC) reported

    @TheTayaValkyrie @hbomax If watching it on a computer/tablet/etc, try a different browser. Microsoft Edge won't work, but Google Chrome will do the trick.

  • aydako Ayda Kocak (@aydako) reported

    @hbomax buffering, picture quality, and interface suck. Big time.

  • TheTayaValkyrie Taya Valkyrie (@TheTayaValkyrie) reported

    When you can’t sleep and @hbomax isn’t working....help

  • im_so_golden 𝐵𝒶𝒷𝑒𝓈 🇵🇭🇺🇸 (@im_so_golden) reported

    @hbomax Do we know when the sidebar issue will be fixed?

  • coreyjacbcooper M0DD3RNG4M3R (@coreyjacbcooper) reported

    @ZackSnyder @hbomax Why was this part of the scene deleted? I've got a couple of theories but it would be cool to know why like did the editing software glitch on this one clip or was it a studio note or did it just not fit with the scene overall?

  • CaleThompson Cale Thompson (@CaleThompson) reported

    @hbomax Someone just used my email address to create an account. I live in Canada and cannot access any of your webpages. Please help figure out what happened.

  • LeavellMisty Misty (@LeavellMisty) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I know you are aware of the white line on your app, do you have a timeline for a fix? I, like most people want to watch Godzilla vs Kong but are too distracted by the dang line and it is only on there for this month so a quick fix would be awesome!

  • CrimsonCortex CrimsonCortex (@CrimsonCortex) reported

    @hbomax really giving us #Texans flashbacks to the Arctic blast with a problem they knew would happen but still nothing was done to prepare for it better. #GodzillavKong please fix the problem.

  • ckr1024 Chris Rosenberg (@ckr1024) reported

    Three days later, still can’t watch #kongvsgodzilla because @hbomax is the worst streaming service available and it is buffering every 30 seconds. Back to @disneyplus for movies you can actually see in their totality.

  • danny_bahr barbarian (@danny_bahr) reported

    @hbomax what’s up with Godzilla vs. Kong? I haven’t been able to stream for three nights straight because of buffering issues.

  • brodflightcrew BRodFlightCrew (@brodflightcrew) reported from Harney, Colorado

    @GodzillaVsKong @hbomax @hbomax needs to fix its streaming volume problem, the dialogue was way too low and we had volume all the way up.

  • CJPendragon CJ ✨ (@CJPendragon) reported

    So @hbomax is too expensive for me not to be able to sign in on multiple devices even when no one else is watching it. I’ve reset the password a half dozen times and still it won’t let me sign in on @MichaelAlexPen iPad.

  • gerald_joseph90 Gerald Joseph, MSW, ACM, CTP (@gerald_joseph90) reported

    @sheologian @hbomax Terrible 😞 basically erasing the individual and saying their life doesn’t matter.

  • truckerfuck Trucker **** (@truckerfuck) reported

    @hbomax fix the ******* line already!!!

  • SparkyPhoenix85 Drew Freeman (@SparkyPhoenix85) reported

    Utterly perplexed by my frustrating situation with @HBOMaxHelp trying to figure out why the HELL I can’t watch @GodzillaVsKong this weekend without CONSTANT buffering and stutters - no other movie on @hbomax is giving me this issue - already feeling duped for subbing this week :(

  • tjmatyasz Taylor (@tjmatyasz) reported

    Ok @HBO I just signed up for @hbomax and so help me god if monkey beats the lizard I’m cancelling my subscription

  • Chris88nu gokuGTX (@Chris88nu) reported

    @AmericaStonk @hbomax I have direct connection and Xbox one base system. I haven't had one buffering issue since they told me they fixed it. Hmm I'm sorry. Send HBO Max help a DM that's what I did.

  • chrono344 Brian 🇺🇸 (@chrono344) reported

    @hbomax I can’t get Godzilla vs Kong to work. Is everyone in the world trying to watch it or is the service being overloaded???
