    @DanDotLewis @hbomax A rather large error is the Tigers hosting the Yankees. The Tigers finished 1989 on the road. Also, the score of that game doesn't match October 1, but August 18, when the Tigers led 6-1 in the 7th. Strange!

    Hey @CraveCanada why can't I find Game Theory by @bomani_jones on your app? Every other @hbomax show is there. Don't deny us this gentleman's work.

    @hbomax I have experienced the worst customer service support and gotten the run around from your workers in resolving issues with my account!!

    @hbomax why do you all have only the first Maze Runner film available out of the trilogy, but you have the entire Divergent series? The divergent movies are god awful.

    BTW on Amazon the video quality is better and so is the audio quality. Also Amazon puts up trivia and not once speaks a single negative word about the Snyder Cut Movement. Everything is better than @hbomax

    @hbomax has 10/10 content but gets a 0/10 for the constant buffering issue with certain titles. Charging 15/month for me to feel like I’m watching a show on dial up internet should be a crime.

    @hbomax app is dogshit, one of the biggest problems is how you can't even get to the download section while offline. Lmfao.

    @hbomax KEEP THE SHOW ON THE ORIGINAL GAME STORYLINE AND STAY AWAY FROM THE GAWD AWFUL SEQUEL STORYLINE.

    @AMCPlus @netflix @hbomax This new "tax write off" trick with removing shows is insulting to the fans and very disrespectful to the creators and it needs to stop. Now. I will be contacting my representatives about this issue.

    I thought the @hbomax app was bad (can’t even watch my downloaded content on a plane) but @peacock is worse, at least on PS4 (can’t skip thru without an issue popping up, freezes on ads while content audio plays, subs turn off randomly)

    @JonnyCinquo @hbomax I agree. It's terrible

    Sigh. When network television steals back all the good shows bc no writer or show runner will want to work with streaming no more bc y’all reversing deals ion wanna hear nothing! @netflix @hbomax @paramountplus

    elonpocalypse (@trumpocalypse08) reported

    @hbomax, why do I have to "sign in" every time I visit your site? And don't blame my browser: This the only ******* site I have to do that for. Fix your ****.

    @lucyprebblish @hbomax @skytv The truth in that writing, the fact ever word sounded like something people would actually say PLUS jokes. It’s such an incredible piece of work.

    @ADAMDEVINE Maybe @hbomax can pick this up, film it, and then delete it from their servers

    @steffbeenlit @HBO @hbomax Because outside of the first episode, it was an absolutely horrific, awful awful show that was just an attack on straight black men. I'm so glad it was canceled I hated with that show became. It was just a Trojan horse.

  • ENEMYOFURLIES
    Enemy of Lies (@ENEMYOFURLIES) reported

    @hbomax @LamarJohnsonn I was looking forward to this but the app update yesterday broke the audio and forces captioning on. I really don't understand how your dev team consistently makes it worse when it has been the worst streaming app by a mile.
