  • mattybstyle_ Matthew Bartelson (@mattybstyle_) reported

    Hey @hbomax is your trash app ever going to work? It's laughable at how bad this is. It's 2022

  • majikrat Jay (@majikrat) reported

    @LGUS @hbomax Who can save my LG 65” oled tv with screen burn that LG says is a known issue but don’t support it. Please fix my tv

  • decepticonfessa Decepticonflagration (@decepticonfessa) reported

    @hbomax could I pretty pretty pretty please get a His Dark Materials and House of the Dragon treatment for the Old Kingdom Series by @garthnix I will work for you for free if it means willing it into existence.

  • marie48021 Michelle Marie par·o·dy (@marie48021) reported

    @hbomax your app is terrible.

  • MartinBonnevier Martin Bonnevier Kronlid (@MartinBonnevier) reported

    So @hbomax… a few months ago I tried watching Dune, but there were so many glitches and weird rendering errors I had to stop. Trying again tonight. 20 minutes in and I am considering giving up. What’s going on with Dune?

  • BenWalkerOChem Ben Walker (@BenWalkerOChem) reported

    I just subscribed to @hbomax and it was perhaps the most painful experience of my life. A random series of unrelated pages and sign in screens and I still have to watch ads.

  • DaveOnFidalgo Dave Wenning (@DaveOnFidalgo) reported

    Anybody notice, is @HBOMax taking unusually long to load screens? My TV is wired via ethernet, router is new, everything else running fine. Every screen I watch circling dots buffer, buffer, buffer, buffer…

  • SimpyDanIII P. Roger Tallow Jr. (@SimpyDanIII) reported

    Todays fix of the day from @Xfinity is delete the app for @hbomax every day and download it again. This is the service I’m paying for

  • ho77sauce ho7 (@ho77sauce) reported

    @hbomax @HBO Your website needs work to be honest, compared to most competitive streaming websites your streaming service is lackluster. In terms of content though, HBO is on top of their game. I'm addicted. Please keep pumping out real work and sharing knowledge when possible.

  • HobbyAlmighty KG (@HobbyAlmighty) reported from Overland Park, Kansas

    @ourtradingcards @hbomax The worst. Actually ESPN+ is the worst. I fall asleep to an episode and can’t rewind it; I play it and it skips to the next unwatched one. It’s kinda nuts.

  • janoconnell janoconnell (@janoconnell) reported

    @YahooFinance @alliecanal8193 @hbomax needs to work on their app. It’s one of the worst performing apps. Watching content is like using a dial up.

  • MaggieK39779145 Maggie K (@MaggieK39779145) reported

    @hbomax @HBO Too bad xfinity tech issues won’t allow subscribers.

  • QMable Dantae !™ (@QMable) reported

    @JamesGunn It would be a mistake to drop the HBO part off the companies name @wbd. It should stay as @hbomax. It’s a great marketable name. Calling it just “MAX” doesn’t work. HBO is an iconic brand.

  • nwthelonewolf Lone Wolf (@nwthelonewolf) reported

    @sesamestreet @hbomax Crank Yankers has had 6 seasons since 2002. Sesame Street has had...53 seasons since 1969. You want to make Crank Yankers versus a formula that is proven to work see what will happen.

  • marktonna1 Mark Tonna (@marktonna1) reported

    @hbomax Please release HBO Max in Ireland and the rest of Europe. If it gets released, I guarantee you that I'll subscribe. I already tried to set it up using a VPN for about 3-4 hours, but it didn't work.

  • FlyGuyLevi_ The Ghetto Classic (@FlyGuyLevi_) reported

    @hbomax FIX YALL DAMN SERVERS!!!

  • Pokcskirk Chris (@Pokcskirk) reported

    What kind of dumbass thinks that MAX is a good name for a streaming service? David ******* Zaslav obviously, but he’s a moron that gets paid millions yearly to ruin something that’s not broken. Hey @HBO and @hbomax I’ll destroy all your goodwill for only 100K/yr, you’re welcome

  • here_wont im here so i wont get fined (@here_wont) reported

    @hbomax has the worst offline ever. What’s the point of downloads if they don’t show up

  • DocTongue Big Smoke 🤡 (@DocTongue) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I saw your app on the app store has a 2.5 rating. I don't think me supplying you with my account will fix my problems

  • MichalLangmajer Michal Langmajer (@MichalLangmajer) reported

    .@hbomax has the best content but the worst app experience out of all streaming services.

  • SuperWinterGirl Princess Winter 👸#SnydersUniverseAP (@SuperWinterGirl) reported

    @RAKSWALKER @blackadamnews @hbomax What is with people with Avatar profile pics having the worst takes? First Kam, now you.

  • AnalyzeW Analyze Your World (@AnalyzeW) reported

    @wbd @hbomax Getting rid of the #HBO branding as part of the name change is a huge mistake. #Max doesn’t represent quality, HBO does. #Warner marketing department needs a lesson in marketing.

  • tjaden71 tj (@tjaden71) reported

    @hbomax WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR WEBSITE??? First MY EMAIL AND PASSWORD WORK NOW IT DOESNT WTF IS GOING ON I PAY FOR THIS CRAP NO I DONT THINK SO

  • DocTongue Big Smoke 🤡 (@DocTongue) reported

    @hbomax I think you forgot to make your app work

  • CaesarsWolfpack 🇮🇹 Sal Scalici #SmashCancer 👊 (@CaesarsWolfpack) reported

    It would be a terrible mistake if @hbomax ditches the hbo name. Hbo is synonymous with greatness

  • DocTongue Big Smoke 🤡 (@DocTongue) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I went through all of your troubleshooting and the app still doesn't work on my TV. Every other app on my TV works but yours drops quality will go quiet and show at least one frame a second and then crash. I reinstalled it twice

  • rocknroll886 Meghan (@rocknroll886) reported

    One of the things I hate most about streaming services (and their apps) is how bad the closed captions are. @TheCwApp is an entire commercial break behind. @HBOMaxHelp’s app started out terrible, then started working, and now is very spotty with captioning.

  • julsbeaux Julie ✌️ (@julsbeaux) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Without a doubt, your streaming service is the absolute worst. So thanks for the black Friday deal and I hope with the money injection, you can fix your ****** service. Love, someone who will never pay full price.
