    @hbomax Will you help save a show that was rudely cancelled by Netflix? It's called Julie and the Phantoms. It's a great show that deserves a second season. They won awards, got several Emmy nominations, and millions of people streamed their music. So, will you please save it?

  • Kevin_A_Boogie KevinBoogie_andBliss (@Kevin_A_Boogie) reported

    @AliAmbron @hbomax If you subscribe to HBO you already have MAX. Just pull up/download the app and sign in.

  • Deezerella Danielle (@Deezerella) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My app shows logo and then goes to a black screen, how to fix? I’ve tried everything, unplugging router, unplugging tv, deleted the app, clearing cache and data, nothing is working, please help

  • WarrenCarrigan Warren T. Carrigan (@WarrenCarrigan) reported

    @hbomax This wasn’t just awful. It was unwatchable.

  • _TierraJae_ Detroit’s Olivia Pope💋 (@_TierraJae_) reported

  • TheEmilyRomero1 Emily (@TheEmilyRomero1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Will you please save a show that was rudely cancelled? It's called Julie and the Phantoms. It won lots of awards and Emmy nominations, millions of people streamed their songs. Netflix cancelled it so suddenly. So, will you help save the show? #SaveJATP #SaveJATP

  • gmanbuddah gmanbuddah (@gmanbuddah) reported

    @succession @hbomax Greg is awful. He’s either a bad actor, badly written or directed. Maybe all of them. His continued presence is close to ruining the show for me. Upon rewatch, I skip scenes he’s in because he’s that bad. Why do people seem to like this character so much?!? Im baffled

  • DblNdann دانيال (@DblNdann) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp That is the problem

  • jtbtweetin Sugar Plump Fairy 🧚🏾✨💜 (@jtbtweetin) reported

    @hbomax @southsidechi why y'all captions so terrible? "Lupita" is "Lou Peters" "Fo sho" change to "Copy" "Capricorn" became "Virgo" for some reason?? We losing jokes.

  • _Johan_C_ Johan Claessens (@_Johan_C_) reported

    @ellmemore @hbomax @jk_rowling Ah, we're going to play the semantics game now. Deflecting from the actual issue by focusing on the use of the term 'cancelling'. God you people, you just feel no shame, do you...

  • Kid67y Gary (@Kid67y) reported

    @hbomax I subscribed less than a week ago and now your app on my tv doesn't work. Reading on the twitter I'm not alone w/this HBO issue and it's not my tv. Where do I go for a refund and cancel this service.

  • ZOOTV19783 ZOOTV1978 (@ZOOTV19783) reported

    @AndJustLikeThat @hbomax I don’t understand why the show makes them techno retarded. It isn’t even funny, my Dad is 65 and had no issue.

  • mariadmarinescu AiraM (@mariadmarinescu) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Wrong answer for this issue. Just read my tweet again. Your response is a standard answer for issues that include "download" word. Not making a good impression here...

  • MelanieM_Texas WaterMelanie (@MelanieM_Texas) reported

    @hbomax I tried to watch this and it was THE ABSOLUTE WORST. Not funny at all. Yuck.

  • lexCVal lex (@lexCVal) reported

    @TheLHawkins @ashleyreedsalot @hbomax But would that be the worst? #BringWynonnaHome #WynonnaEarp

  • psyclingfan B. (@psyclingfan) reported

    @hbomax why the f@ck does your smart TV app want me to sign in almost every time I open HBOMAX? When it shows me signed in? Makes me want do cancel mybsub

  • RickSinkoe RagnaRick (@RickSinkoe) reported

    @HBOMax @HBOMaxHelp is your service down?? Says “ having trouble connecting to the HBOMax service”.. Both on ROKU and Firestick..

  • Kid67y Gary (@Kid67y) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have a TCL tv and it's not on your list of tv's. I'm thinking it's not a tv problem as it is an HBO max problem. Had the service for a week and now this? Looks like I'll just cancel

  • goldslug Don Ferguson (@goldslug) reported

    @hbomax Am I the only one who has problems with the audio matching up with the video? 🤨

  • NetanelWorthy Netanel Worthy - נתנאל וורתי (@NetanelWorthy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Nope. Still doesn’t work.

  • Analogmeat SirMikeAlot (@Analogmeat) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @LocalBLCKHottie It is down on my Roku, iPhone app and LG TV. I can login, but when I try to play something it keeps going to the select plan screen.

  • a_v__prince josef gay (@a_v__prince) reported

    @yamsgothbitch @hbomax fix your ****

  • UnhatchedYoshi Unhatched Yoshi Egg (@UnhatchedYoshi) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hello, there is an issue with the audio description for the show Big Love. For season 4 episode 6 and 7, there is a silence followed by a long beep for around 4 minutes, after which the audio starts. Due to this, the last 5 minutes or so of the show are cut off.

  • ExoticJayy Jay (@ExoticJayy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @libraryspecter Hey HBO, your subtitles are jumping all over the screen. This is annoying af. If it’s ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.
