HBO Max Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Beachesinaz Sandy 🌎✈️🚢🚞🌈 (@Beachesinaz) reported

    @hbomax Part of the problem was it’s billed as a psychological thriller about a killer. It was actually more of an analysis of a detective. I had a problem with not having a connection to any character enough to understand their point of view. I distrusted all of them until the end. 2/2

  • Prime326 Prime326 (@Prime326) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hello. Saturday I was watching The Little Things and halfway through the movie the picture kept skipping was most of the movie. I restarted it, restarted my tv, did all that I could think of. Tried playing a less recent movie and didnt have that issue.

  • FedUpCitzenKrew Dave T (@FedUpCitzenKrew) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp 3 Days & 7 HOURS TRYING TO GET MY HBO MAX TO WORK. HAS TO GIVE ALL MY INFO 11 TIMES, OVER & OVER AGAIN. BUT THEN NOBODY RESPONDS WHEN I TELL THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST DISAPPEAR & YOU CAN'T TURN THEM IN OUR COMPLAIN TO ANYONE. I'M GONNA SUE FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT

  • HodgkinsNH Robert McLeod (@HodgkinsNH) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I did all the troubleshooting outlined on the site you sent all the way through uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Unfortunately the same buffering issues persist. I don’t have this issue with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTubetv etc. please advise. Thank you.

  • stefceretti Stephane Ceretti (@stefceretti) reported

    @hbomax @att was already a customer of HBOmax but now got att fiber 1000 and free HBOmax with it. Do I need to cancel my old account and use the new one ? they have the same username though will that create issues ? Can we move the old account to ATT ? Let me know. Thanks

  • FenixRising73 FenixRising (@FenixRising73) reported

    @hbomax The little things about this movie are how flat the acting was, how disappointing the ending was and, oh wait, those aren’t little things. Those are the only things that matter about a movie and this was awful. Denzel is the only thing I liked.

  • jedi_storms Kassy (@jedi_storms) reported

    @8wariorlittle @HBOMaxHelp Wait what device are u watching HBO Max on? I tried it on my firestick and its out of sync too. Like I wonder if it's a service wide issue or just on fire sticks

  • PatrickZalator3 Patrick Zalatoris (@PatrickZalator3) reported

    @hbomax Stop trolling us man, please I need my close enough fix!

  • FedUpCitzenKrew Dave T (@FedUpCitzenKrew) reported

    @hbomax Just in the last 2 days alone, 76 people have responded & told me they've been extremely disrespected or laughed at by HBOMAX Customer Service. It's set up so they don't give names & HBO's employees know there's no way for them to get in trouble over it. That's How They Set It Up

  • bobcarletonjr Bob Carleton (@bobcarletonjr) reported

    Seriously @hbomax your content is great but I can't watch anything on your service without constant buffering problems. No other service has these issues. Time to buy some servers

  • JDG0919 Dylan G |Wandavision Spoilers| ◊🎮😷❓0❓❓🦇👨🏼 (@JDG0919) reported

    @ZakReckless @DCU_Direct @hbomax If he knows about that he probably also knows about the death threats to Geoff Johns and Toby . which he needs to address to fans on social media. Because if something does ever happen to them he will automatically get the blame and probably get in some serious trouble .

  • FreddyToTheLiu 🍁Fred🍁 (@FreddyToTheLiu) reported

    @selenagomez @hbomax Anything to either help you with a dish or 10 or be in your audience post Covid Selena lol

  • FedUpCitzenKrew Dave T (@FedUpCitzenKrew) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp THERE, NOW ANOTHER CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT WON'T RESPOND AFTER I SPENT 10 MINUTES AGAIN GIVING ALL MY INFO & EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM. THAT'S THE 8TH TIME OVER 3 DAYS TRYING TO GET THE SERVICE I PAID FOR TO WORK. I'M GONNA SUE HBO FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT & MENTAL ANGUISH FOR THIS.

  • MaJaKa0331 MarJayKap (@MaJaKa0331) reported

    @hbomax AWFUL film!

  • 8wariorlittle koko (@8wariorlittle) reported

    @jedi_storms @HBOMaxHelp Its a problem everywhere and they said they're trying to fix it. if you download the episode on something like a phone it won't be out of sync

  • SusanBernhardt Susan Bernhardt (@SusanBernhardt) reported

    @hbomax Not great. Not terrible.

  • heyitscdubs Chris Withers (@heyitscdubs) reported

    @hbomax AND @DCComics deciding to rotate films in and out is a terrible practice. Why would I sign up for this when Disney+ keeps all of their films on there (as of this tweet)? Also this is why I still purchase films, you can't rely on streaming services.

  • fxS0ciety Krishnan (@fxS0ciety) reported

    @fleabagsgirl @hbomax They will do something about ZSJL but main issue is that they're totally blocked us from shows like Lovecraft, Raised by Wolves etc. 😣

  • HubenyJoel Joel Ryan Hubeny (@HubenyJoel) reported

    @wbpictures @JaredLeto @hbomax I didn’t mind his joker. The movie was terrible. Now I still think I could do a better job than all of them but, the Editor has last call. And a bad editor can destroy a movie.

  • ProxTheOperator No Justice=No Peace (@ProxTheOperator) reported

    @hbomax @wbpictures So are you going to address the issue where no one outside of the U.S Can watch HBO Max without a VPN service? how can you possibly think a strictly Central American Streaming Service can operate in an International streaming Market someone should be fired
