Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • D3Franc0 Love, Alex (@D3Franc0) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp - After fumbling around for 45 mins with @hbomax on my tv trying to get it to work & not buffer while watching Dune, I had to just play through Air Play and it worked fine. Like why? Why wouldn’t the app on my tv work? What is the difference here? So frustrating.

  • SpiceWare Darrell Spice Jr. (@SpiceWare) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp DM sent. This might also be an issue that @VIZIOsupport needs to be made aware of.

  • Wrckncrw LLL (@Wrckncrw) reported

    @hbomax consistently the worst streaming service you can use. Never loads right away. Always buffering. Then finally stalls and has to close. Get your **** together.

  • RobertR91776340 Robert Randolph (@RobertR91776340) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp This is bull sh@t. Every other streaming service I have: Netflix, Prime, peacock, paramount plus and more work are working fine, and you think my tv is the problem?

  • LetMyPeopleCode Greg B. - Don't have a good day, have a great day! (@LetMyPeopleCode) reported

    Loving #DMZ on @hbomax. And @MisterHoonLee is just so good in it. He is rapidly becoming a sign of quality. I don't know if he's good at picking projects or good at being found by the right opportunities, but respect sir.

    @david_jenkins__ @hbomax @david_jenkins__ when they swapped clothes, did Ed have to help Stede into them because his wound was still bad?

  • Heygirlfield Hey Girl Field Hey (@Heygirlfield) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks! Looks like it was a Google interface problem. Once it was reset, it worked!

  • D3Franc0 Love, Alex (@D3Franc0) reported

  • DuckingOak la beef (@DuckingOak) reported from Ashland, California

    @CodeineFridge @hbomax fix this ****

  • AtlantisFell Mutant Sovereignty (@AtlantisFell) reported

    Why does @hbomax eat so much data. I wouldn't care if the quality didn't become blurry the second it's not using high-speed data. Other streaming services are clear quality on regular speed. Just some food for thought on future updates.

  • Cloella Chloe Gale (@Cloella) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'd really like to sign up to the offer before the 31st March, if I'm not able to due to tech issues and I've repeatedly asked for help, it's really not fair.

  • Sathish89383700 Sathish Kumar (@Sathish89383700) reported

    @hbomax Because of your greedy The Batman is not going to make very amount in box office. As nolan said worst streaming service ever.

  • FrankHenryCoufa Frank Henry Coufal (@FrankHenryCoufa) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve been trying to sign in to the HBO Max app on my iPad Mini, but I got a message saying “technical difficulties”, even though I’m connected to the internet. Can you help me with this?

  • TheRealZuber Andrew Zuber (@TheRealZuber) reported

    @MikeRoyce @hbomax In my defense I’ve been trying to get the app to work for the last 2.5 years or so which is why I’m out of the loop here

  • ishaboy_z movin on up (@ishaboy_z) reported

    @DuckingOak @CodeineFridge @hbomax Is there a known outage of some sort?

  • DJMggot1 DJ (@DJMggot1) reported

    @adudesnerdery @DCTitans @hbomax If you’re a gluten for punishment then yes. It’s not great. Poor casting and costumes don’t help the poor writing and acting. It’s ok, but tough to watch. I gave up a third of the way through 3

  • SlytherBas Bas (@SlytherBas) reported

    @GeekintheCity @TaikaWaititi @hbomax That show genuinely caught me off guard. I wasn't sold by the first couple episodes, but by the end I was very invested. Some very high quality fuckery there.

  • slcboston Sean Connell (@slcboston) reported

    When an @hbomax show for kids reminds you of not one but TWO middle-grade series you read to your daughter (which you both loved) and then remember they both ended on terrible cliffhangers. And then hope the shoe does well enough to fix that. #Theodosia

  • YTAditi Aditi Rajvanshi (@YTAditi) reported

    Can someone help me understand how HBO Max @hbomax still continues to be buggy as hell even at this stage of the streaming evolution? The viewing experience is unimaginable coming from a giant like @HBO?! Genuinely interested in understanding this. #NotJustARant #Streaming

  • b01dface b01dface 🚚🚛 (@b01dface) reported

    @HeiferPlease_ @FlightAttendant @hbomax It was so terrible in nearly every way. HBO has high production value but the writing was atrocious

  • djiftw iFTW (@djiftw) reported

    @hbomax why can’t I see my whole list? It just stops at the end of the row. Is it a glitch on my app or a known issue?

  • Alwyz_Bandit Bandit 🇨🇦 (@Alwyz_Bandit) reported

    @adudesnerdery @DCTitans @hbomax It's a hard watch honestly, season 1 was okay, season 2 is awful and season 3 is only slightly better.

  • blyresident audrey (@blyresident) reported

    I NEED HELP SOMETHING SOMETHING KEEPS GLITCHING ON MY APP @hbomax @HBO
