Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • lint_ruben Ruben van Lint (@lint_ruben) reported

    Guys, I payed for the subscription because of the work and effort you put in it. But can't find Gaming Wall Street? Do I need to go back to Pirate Bay to see the docu? @hbomaxnl @hbomax

  • MoondogRick2 Moondoggie ☮️🕊️✌️☯️🧘❤️⚽📽️📺📚🎵🐕 (@MoondogRick2) reported

    @Sxottlan @hbomax That's weird. But I didn't even get that. No subtitles at all, even though they work fine on everything else.

  • Snow_Hawkthorne Zeph Davis (@Snow_Hawkthorne) reported

    @freddielm @hbomax I can’t figure out how this app decides which quality to stream in. Disney+ and my iTunes library all stream in 4K HDR or Dolby Vision no problem, but HBO Max is mostly limited to HD

  • xyz59413693 xy (@xyz59413693) reported

    @getFANDOM @hbomax Gunna have to do a little work on the prosthetics. Looked pretty wonky in some scenes. Like the picture on the right.

  • nickyturns Nicky Anthony (@nickyturns) reported

    Watching “Winning Time” on HBO Max and it’s extremely realistic, especially the part where it feels like I’m watching it in 1980 due to the terrible quality. @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp If this isn’t remedied soon I will be canceling my subscription. It’s getting ridiculous.

  • buneech Boyæn (@buneech) reported

    Why the hell is the sign in for android tv app not done on a phone or pc @hbomax? Do I really need to enter the long password with my remote?

  • CanDoNgandu Jennifer Ng'andu (@CanDoNgandu) reported

    @Xfinity @hbomax I am having playback errors with several movies. The Last Duel and Nobody. Can you help? They pop up and say there is an HBOMax playback error. Does not happen with Euphoria. Seems to have an error in the same place each time.

  • dtubin Dusko (@dtubin) reported

    @ElderheartLibra @hbomax I live in Slovakia where it is considered enough to have Czech language for most of available material. And Slovak and Czech are 20 times more different than any south slavic language - so i think you are exaggerating the problem.

  • CadwaladerMr Mr. Cadwalader Swan 🏳️‍🌈 (@CadwaladerMr) reported

    @Michaeljoh20 @DCComics @hbomax I definitely want this show, and we're going to need it to help fill out the time between films.

  • hhoneyAmelia Haddi Amelia Njie (@hhoneyAmelia) reported

    @hbomax ‘s app is the most terrible!!Please hire someone to redo your site ASAP

  • luizg_magalhaes Gustavo Magalhaes (@luizg_magalhaes) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @alvincrespo I’m also having the same issue since last week on my Xbox series X. Signed out, deleted the app, reinstalled and signed back in. The same issue remains. What’s the next step?

  • tomxairey Tom (@tomxairey) reported

    @DCComics @hbomax Worst thing about HBO Max is limited availability. Still can’t watch Peacemaker in the UK without finding a dodgy website

  • dstrbad Dejan Strbad (@dstrbad) reported

    aaand the worst app award goes to @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp merge of hbogo is total failure, lost subscription, hbomax is even worse, not working on multiple devices. @netflix can teach you guys a lot!

  • TomG1013_ TomG (@TomG1013_) reported

    @Neil_Druckmann @TroyBakerVA I just realized Joel’s watch didn’t get broken in the prologue. I hope the story of the watch getting broken is one of the stories in @hbomax series. #TheLastOfUS

  • freshlygrownshi The Black Hank Moody (@freshlygrownshi) reported

    @hbomax Fix y’all damn apps. Both the phone and Xbox apps. Like damn y’all not making enough money off Euphoria and ****. You can’t tell me y’all spent all the Game of Thrones money. Despite the ending I’m sure y’all making residual on that. Throw some at the apps. Make ‘em twerk

  • OkBuckaroo CidL (@OkBuckaroo) reported

    @DCComics @hbomax why every new show nowdays has to be limited?? If you're going to make show then why not go full lenght with it Why not 15+ ep? noone says you cant have more than 10 without losing the quality.. Disney shows proved that even with focus on quality most their shows were MID/trash

  • biIIskarsgrds mitzy (@biIIskarsgrds) reported

    @dtubin @ElderheartLibra @hbomax their issue is not that they dont understand - they just hate serbia and serbs

  • _Guppie_ Nes (@_Guppie_) reported

    @NederlandseOrde @hbomaxnl @hbomax No, I’m not entirely new to technology or technical problems, our system is running properly. There is no VPN, all systems were restarted and I went through all the motions. If it was only me, then yes, I would ask myself how come I’m the only one.

  • HannaSnuggly SnugglyHanna (@HannaSnuggly) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp You're not listening look at all of the people since last year that have the same problem I'm on HBO Max on demand on the Cox's contour Box it's set to English but it's playing in Spanish there is no other options it even says you cannot change the options when you go into sap.

  • _Guppie_ Nes (@_Guppie_) reported

    @NederlandseOrde @hbomaxnl @hbomax At this point more than 24 hours after launch it’s still not working. But I was able to speak to customer support and they will try to fix this problem (which is on their end) within 2 hours. Let’s see if it does happen.

  • weldonberger The Lincoln Projection (@weldonberger) reported

    @Clarknt67 @hbomax Is it a Roku TV or a Roku device? I had to delete all the crap channels I never use because evidently they suck up enough bandwidth just sitting there that it screws up HBO. I was having the same issue as you but it hasn't recurred since I culled the useless channels.

  • genevieverice Genevieve Rice (@genevieverice) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp We actually discovered a fix you might want to pass on to others. I had the audio track set to English when it started reading the screen even though screen reader was off. When I switched the audio track to Italiano, the screen reading stopped.

  • charnguyen Charlene Nguyen (@charnguyen) reported

    @hbomax trying to redeem my 3 month free YouTube trial offer I just received via email. When I sign in it only shows 1 month. Can you assist?

  • laurencerowe Laurence Rowe (@laurencerowe) reported

    @hbomax can you fix your TV app to move subtitles above the scrub bar when displaying it? Keep having to rewind whenever I pause My Brilliant Friend so as not to miss out on 30s of dialogue.

  • KucukEnisten Üst Kattaki Zenci (@KucukEnisten) reported

    @InsideHBOMax @hbomax @WarnerMedia ideal issue in NL :( :( : ( :( :( very bad first impression

  • bskyguy bogdan vulpan 🍥 (@bskyguy) reported

    guys, @hbomax you gotta update that #PS5 app because the quality really is bad. no 4K and even the full hd titles look like they're streaming at 720p. (and my connection speed is at +468 mb/s and wired)

  • tweetzbysteve Steve (@tweetzbysteve) reported

    @DCComics @hbomax On a serious note. Please release this in the UK at the same time as everywhere else. HBO Max need to sort that problem out.

  • _aibrahem Abdelrahman Ibrahem (@_aibrahem) reported

    @hbomaxnl So you're ignoring my complaints, on top of the technical issues, terrible customer support! @hbomax #HBOMax

  • TheProdicleSon8 michael magana (@TheProdicleSon8) reported

    @hbomax so, your app works fine on my phone, though on my Samsung tv it constantly buffers and tells me to restart the app, my other apps work fine. what can I try? lol I’m desperate

  • tigerlk59 Laura Keller (@tigerlk59) reported

    @katherinespiers @hbomax I had this same issue. Finally got transferred to someone at HBO who knew what to do. Go to accessibility menu in settings and change language from English to Italian.
