    Why is it so hard to find stuff on @hbomax Please fix the UI/UX Literally, this is the only issue all of America can seem to agree on!!!

  • legodoesstuff jordan Coates (@legodoesstuff) reported

    @OfficialgenLOCK @hbomax Another issue I think there was with season 2 was that there was no warning or anything information to the nsfw content of some of the episodes. I say this not because I can't handle it but just because from what I've seen from what people have said is alot of people watch

  • msmithisme Sonshiny (@msmithisme) reported

    @yourlittldogtwo @chris_notcapn @HBOMaxHelp This happens to me all he time. It's the worst reliable of the streaming apps.

    @TheMatrixMovie @hbomax That movie was terrible way to ruin the matrix

  • EleishHussein 3leish (@EleishHussein) reported

    @ianroseman @Hammer1128 @hbomax If the flashbacks, however long they are, work for the context of the 4th, whats the problem? Work smarter not harder

  • wufflehouse Tom (@wufflehouse) reported

    @hbomax This show is awful and I’m dumb as hell

  • shiagi Shiagi (@shiagi) reported

    @PunishedGPS @Marcus_Salaza @hbomax I'm just going off what you are showing me, your education level and lack of knowledge of how to research and accept facts if your not younger then you are in more trouble then I thought

  • ChrisEast0 Chris (@ChrisEast0) reported

    @ATT we see your hard at work ignoring your @HBOmax subscribers this Christmas #Scrooged

  • ThreeOnePour Brian (@ThreeOnePour) reported

    If you were planning on watching the new @TheMatrixMovie tonight go ahead and scratch that, @hbomax can't seem to get their servers in order for a decent stream that isn't stopping every 10-15 seconds.

  • eggelbert an egg (@eggelbert) reported

    @hbomax What’s one way to guarantee I never purchase this? You found it. This looks terrible.

  • wtdarr Susan Sharon (@wtdarr) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks for replying @hbomax! I’m streaming on my RCA Roku TV. No error message comes up, and nothing says that it’s going to restart. I was watching a movie last night, and on three different occasions s, the movie froze, and my tv restarted. No error message or anything!

  • LiQuiDSunn LiquidSunn (Twitch Affiliate 👾) (@LiQuiDSunn) reported

    Started watching the new Matrix movie and it was the worst thing I've seen all year. WTF was that garbage @hbomax why would you green light this movie. Very disappointed and was really trying to like it but man that was a struggle to watch.

  • quantum_flux99 Green and Gold! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ (@quantum_flux99) reported

    @TheMatrixMovie @hbomax This movie is one of the worst big budget movies I’ve ever tried to watch. Couldn’t even make it an hour.

  • StarrySeaWitch Starry ⭐✨🌟 (@StarrySeaWitch) reported

    @Hey_MissKeisha @hbomax I don't have an audio video delay. I just have freezes. And I have a cable hooked directly from my modem to my TV so it's not a Wi-Fi issue

  • smokin35 G.Crypto (@smokin35) reported

    Says "Network error, cannot communicate with service" @HBOmax @hbomaxhelp Was working fine last night, this sucks ***. #HBOMax

  • carolinescooke Caroline Cooke (@carolinescooke) reported

    So glad I get to spend Christmas Eve on the phone with @hbomax support for 30 min with no resolution. Spent 1.5 hours earlier this week. Worst customer support I’ve ever received. Any recommendations for a better streaming service to purchase instead? #hbomax #terribleservice

  • NetsecJoe Joe Hall (@NetsecJoe) reported

    @thepacketrat @hbomax Maybe because that show is absolutely terrible.

  • TinyTweeter00 SpongeBob Airhead (@TinyTweeter00) reported

    @hbomax fix this **** or refund me my money

  • legodoesstuff jordan Coates (@legodoesstuff) reported

    @OfficialgenLOCK @hbomax Which kind of ment that if they were going to use genlock they had to get it over and done with, with no screwing around One of the second issues I had with it was the very little information we got at the beginning. They show us abit about the world's climate and then also that

  • VonSwig Theta Sigma (@VonSwig) reported

    @hbomax really needs to up the quality of their stuff. Even HD stuff like Matrix Resurrections has issues being HD. Other services, like Amazon, Netflix, even YouTube don't have these issues where I can see pixels; It's consistent.

  • DarlingVexa Alice (@DarlingVexa) reported

    @shiagi @ShilohMcGroove @hbomax Shiagi is a terrible person and an absolute waste of space. They write ignorant tweets online and think they're funny but nobody ever responds except people who care enough to tell them that they are garbage.

  • TwoToneFro Nicest Savage. Maybe. (@TwoToneFro) reported

    @jpabloof @hbomax I have no problem with the story or script. The concepts that made the brand unique were missing, and yes, even with a new perspective, nothing felt fresh or new with the cinematography or choreography. The best part was the last convo with the architect.

  • legodoesstuff jordan Coates (@legodoesstuff) reported

    @OfficialgenLOCK @hbomax Another issue I think there was with season 2 was that there was no warning or anything information to the nsfw content of some of the episodes.

    I finally sit down to watch #MatrixResurrections and now is the moment @hbomax decides to have streaming issues. 🤬
