Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • prey_detour rudra (@prey_detour) reported

    @TokyoViceHBOMax @Tomohisanine @hbomax Love the show! But Samantha is a poorly written character, too passive-aggressive towards other characters who unrealistically love/help her time and time on

  • AmpgroundsPod Ampgrounds (@AmpgroundsPod) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp That is not how that should work. This isn't a troubleshooting request, it's feedback to improve your app because I'm not the only one who experiences these problems. This is the most expensive service part of what I'm paying for is a seamless cast experience.

  • alittlewisp goblin, but worse now (@alittlewisp) reported

    @OFMDCrew @hbomax @wbd Olivia and Buttons, actually! Buttons might try to eat me, but we'd never be bored. Olivia can maybe help us flag down a ship. #FancyAFineFabric

  • DeOverdenking De Overdenking (@DeOverdenking) reported

    @hbomaxnl, @hbomax, my suggestion is to turnoff the timer on the auto next episode function if the show has no after credits... Also, force your employees to use your product, it will keep you ahead of problems.

  • 87shenanigans the bad gringa (@87shenanigans) reported

    @hbomax your audio is not working 😑

  • SBake6969 shake&bake6969 (@SBake6969) reported

    @Brain_Stormz @rejectnation @hbomax Didn't watch Old but i was generally a fan of his work. Glass was a disappointment.

    Out of everyone in Our Flag Means Death, who would be the worst roommate? Make sure to tag #FancyAFineFabric @hbomax @wbd

  • ThePsysquatch Lord Julius Panhandle (@ThePsysquatch) reported

    @hbomax is always going down. I can get all my other services to stream, so I know it's not my internet connection. Interface comes up, but all I get are the three dots. This happens SO OFTEN. Are their servers just absolute trash?

  • aginghippee Extra-Medium sized mang (@aginghippee) reported

    @ampol_moment These 4 years need to be turned into an @hbomax series. Comedy or drama both would work

  • thealanpowell Alan Powell (@thealanpowell) reported

    @DIRECTV @hbomax what gives with not being able to launch HBOMax app on streaming service? This occurs every few days and is becoming annoying. It’s there a legitimate issue?

  • _yungru unboxed (@_yungru) reported

    HBO max sucks at streaming tv shows, fix your **** @hbomax

  • TheReal_ChrisW Chris Watson (@TheReal_ChrisW) reported

    @hbomax your app is total garbage. It has stopped 4 times while trying to watch one 23 minute episode. Beyond frustrating. It’s been doing this constantly. One more time and I’m cancelling my subscription. I don’t have this issue with any other streaming service.

  • gregorypeoples_ gregory peoples (@gregorypeoples_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp just so you know. Subtitles choice not working for the series Hard. Choose English. And still in Portuguese

  • poweranimals Matt (@poweranimals) reported

    @FandomWire @hbomax @TheCW_Legends No one understands how contracts work, do they?

  • cinephileo Leo Rubinkowski (@cinephileo) reported

    Gave @hbomax a 2-star review yesterday, but I feel that was too hasty. Definitely deserves a 1-star. App wouldn't stream BATMAN BEYOND or MASK OF THE PHANTASM yesterday, and now it won't load at all. Good work, @HBOMaxHelp.

  • HankPlante Hank Plante (@HankPlante) reported

    @hbomax Good programming but what a shame that @hbomax has the absolute worst performing APP on the entire internet.

  • OFMDCrew OFMD Fan Crew - signups open! (@OFMDCrew) reported

    The Co-Captains have all determined that Calico Jack would be the WORST roommate. Whippies at 3am? Hope you don’t have a 7am meeting! Or a test to study for. Or really any plans at all. #FancyAFineFabric @hbomax @wbd
