  • misserri_ Erri (@misserri_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @julesrrm I can’t even watch a full episode without a glitch 🥲 I reinstall when things get better!

  • CrystalClear989 Black Hole Deity (@CrystalClear989) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @hbomax my HBO max app doesn’t stream audio to my stereo over Bluetooth on my Chromecast with google tv. Both app and chromecast are updated. This is the only app that doesn’t work in this manner. Please help.

  • Ad_beezy Ad (@Ad_beezy) reported

    @hbomax your app has become sentient. And its starting to not give ****. I tried to press pause to grab a snack it wouldn't work. So I was like nvm let me go quick and come back, when I came back it fast forward to the near ending.. it spoiled the movie for me

  • jacobstevensss Jacob Stevens (@jacobstevensss) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @CashAppRecords If over 50k people are experiencing the same issue it’s safe to say it’s not our devices fault. Y’all need to fix the app on your side.

  • Boman_Eric Eric Boman (@Boman_Eric) reported

    @playazball @hbomax On Android, I have yet to face issues from @hbomax which is why Apple users can't seem to ditch their phones fast enough!

  • lurkeeloo Lurker McLurker (@lurkeeloo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @blueskkoos of course that won’t fix it since the problem is your app. Doesn’t happen with Netflix, doesn’t happen with Prime, doesn’t happen with Hulu. Even Tubi works better. Stop wasting ppl’s time by pretending it’s some issue with everyone’s devices.

  • RunXC23 Brad Swiney (@RunXC23) reported

    @Jimmadz1 @HBO @hbomax Because that’s how America is. No problem in giving them screen time and representation in TV.

  • TheJeffMontalvo Jeff Montalvo (@TheJeffMontalvo) reported

    Dude, ******* @hbomax support sucks. I've called 3 times over the past 3 weeks and they haven't help at all. And I had just paid for a year subscription. @hulu and @netflix support were able to help me right away whenever I had problems.

  • Gherghetsome Grey (@Gherghetsome) reported

    @hbomax can y'all PLEASE fix the playstation app. It's the worst app in existence. Slow, buggy, and unresponsive.

  • playazball Phil Braun (@playazball) reported

    If you open, wait 5 minutes, close it, repeat 7 times, the @hbomax app *will* work

  • TheKushMeister Semaj Nerrad (@TheKushMeister) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @jaclynisis thats the case with everyone's HBO max app. and honestly I noticed the problem started started paramount plus came out. not saying there's a link just noticed it

  • JoviObi ObiJovi (@JoviObi) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @julesrrm Sorry hbo but reinstall doesn't help. The app is trashed.

  • ajwhitewolf The Reverend AJ White-Wolf (@ajwhitewolf) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp should be removed from @RokuSupport terrible over inflated priced app that consistently crashes when you try to play a movie.

  • kyliegumball Kylie Dumbauld (@kyliegumball) reported

    @MollyBOfficial @hbomax It's the lack of captions on content for me. My 8 year old has hearing loss and can't enjoy a movie without captions 😔 and she can't wear her hearing aids with a mask and glasses behind her little ears! I hope companies get on top of these issues.

  • GeriTownsley Geri Townsley (@GeriTownsley) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @CashAppRecords If anyone is using an Android TV box it has an issue with 5G WIFI and you will then have to switch over to WIFI 2.4G then HBOmax app will run properly.

  • ImAaronRobert Aaron (@ImAaronRobert) reported

    I would feel better if @hbomax just admitted to there being issues with there platform rather than me guessing if it will work today and then raging when it Dosent.

  • LovelyJATI Queen Ja 💜💛 (@LovelyJATI) reported

    @mishafrobin @hbomax See that I can deal with but ours doesn’t work more then it actually works

  • flipitbleu David (@flipitbleu) reported

    @verge Does this mean @hbomax will remove the Crunchyroll hub soon? Lame.. FUNimation and Crunchyroll both have terrible apps, so this can only be a bad thing.

  • vlupone desertdweller (@vlupone) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @chris_notcapn The FF, stop,, and Rew buttons on the PS4 remotes don't always work. I wind up fast forwarding far too long and it's a bit of a mess. No other streaming app has this issue.

  • AJWalkley A.J. Walkley (@AJWalkley) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the audio descriptions won’t turn off on Sesame Street even though we don’t have them selected. Please help!

  • melissaamillerr mel🖤 (@melissaamillerr) reported

    @hbomax fix the issue your app has with samsung tv’s. can’t even get thru one episode of my show without it crashing 4 times 😑

  • henrygetsplay macashen (@henrygetsplay) reported

    @hbomax is it that you don’t care about us poors who are forced to use your awful web player because we don’t have smart tvs or do you just not know how to listen to suggestions?

  • h68292 haley (@h68292) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @julesrrm There’s no “easy fix” when the tweet about how ****** rewinding is on your platform goes viral LOL

  • nikkyysixx Nikky (@nikkyysixx) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @TheKushMeister Literally everyone’s problem w your app. How is this app stuck in the stone ages

  • libraryspecter thebadguy (@libraryspecter) reported

  • ee_lee_suh E.🥀 (@ee_lee_suh) reported

    Hey @HBOMaxHelp! I have a Roku TV and a Roku stick and both won’t play HBO Max. I contacted Roku but they said it’s not on their end. I’m able to play it fine on my computer and phone but neither of my TVs work

  • EmilyGreen2019 Emily Green (@EmilyGreen2019) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Samsung Smart TV - HBO Maxx consistently crashes when rewinding or pausing is attempted. Restart (after slow reboot) starts several minutes earlier in show than crash happened. Great content; truly, shockingly bad interface experience. But you guys already know that.

  • jpaigesanderson Jewels 🌙 (@jpaigesanderson) reported

    @hbomax your app on any platform sux you make enough money to fix it

  • TheSportProhet Gio 🇵🇸 (@TheSportProhet) reported

    @MOVIEDEATHBLOWS @dunemovie @hbomax This movie looks awful, best way to ruin a movie is cast chamalet as the lead.

  • F_Rodriguez__ Frank Rodriguez⭐ (@F_Rodriguez__) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxHelp I HBO Max is finally on the @LGUS app store, however the Dolby Atmos does not work, but Dolby Vision does????
