  • eatandknothings ava (@eatandknothings) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I once called the atc control tower of an airport and told them I could not come in because I was sick…. I don’t work for air traffic control in any capacity I was a ground handler from an airline and I shouldn’t have had their number in my private phone #aviation

  • lahKayxo kayy ⁷ (@lahKayxo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Safari. And no, the issue is that i have to turn it off every single time I watch something. If I turn it off for an episode, why is it turned back on when the next episode plays directly after? Does it not carry over?

  • ItzSynch Synch (Ian) (@ItzSynch) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp What is with this buffering issue? Every new movie we watch literally buffers and or stops, my internet is super good and HBO either stops the movie and also doesnt respond then i have to reset the app completely. What is the actual issue?

  • VrushaliAuti Vrushali Auti (@VrushaliAuti) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, once broke the transaction system of a travel website as a sr. Dev on team. I was on probation & I was scared as the whole business went down for 1/2 an hour. But my CTO smiled and said "when u work on big modules, mistakes r also huge, it's the sign of growth "

  • Dean_Bertelsen Sleazy Gordita Crunch (@Dean_Bertelsen) reported

    @hbomax your app is terrible

  • mrjtwhite Joshua White (@mrjtwhite) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It’s not PlayStation my person. It’s the app on our tv. It’s garbage. Whether we go through the app or @XfinitySupport, it always crashes. And that’s if we can even access it. 🗑. People pay for this ish. It’s 2021. Make it work.

  • mike_hackler Mike H (@mike_hackler) reported

    @hbomax My account got hacked and the email addy changed. Need help.

  • HoshalWilliam William Hoshal (@HoshalWilliam) reported

    @hbomax HBOmax get your act together! Your app is unusable thanks to multiple issues, not the least of which is constantly having to login and getting kicked back to the home screen. You'd think you people could afford better tech than 10 year old Netflix servers!!

  • kturcioss kim. (@kturcioss) reported

    come fix my accounts u trash @hbomax

  • lahKayxo kayy ⁷ (@lahKayxo) reported

    Is audio descriptions automatically turned on or something?? I have to keep turning it off after your servers go down and I need to refresh 😐 @HBOMaxHelp

  • BradAT Brad Thompson (@BradAT) reported

    I literally have to hard stop/start my TV EVERY time I try to go back to the homepage of @hbomax. After the volume of complaints they get on social for the worst UX, you'd think they'd make an effort.

  • MDavidHansen Mark David Hansen (@MDavidHansen) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once updated our twin Windows servers that handled an internal subdomain hosting our public-facing websites that averaged 100k visits/day so that they wouldn't communicate with each other or the parent domain. It took 6 months to fix the issue.

  • janderson45 Janderson (@janderson45) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @MisterTram Your app is embarrassingly glitchy on my Amazon Fire TV, fast forward, rewind, play and pause are all terrible. Looks like this is a typical issue. Please figure it out.

  • mike_hackler Mike H (@mike_hackler) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp sent a DM. Account has been hacked and I can't reset my password. Please help

  • travisc55980804 travischase (@travisc55980804) reported

    @CasualThursday @hbomax is the worst app I've ever had by far. Crashes every 15 mins. I'm a couple weeks from cancelling.

  • doodlesecurity Michael Langan (@doodlesecurity) reported

    @hbomax I am in the military and moved to Belgium and can not access HBOMax to cancel my membership since it doesn't work here - you keep forwarding me to a "not in service area" page - PLEASE HELP

  • MisterTram Erik Tramontana (@MisterTram) reported
