  • RyanDrunkTweets Ryan (@RyanDrunkTweets) reported

    @johnapple007 @TheAimercat @hbomax Been a known issue since may. They still can’t get it fixed

  • dadandmomdawg Bdawg (@dadandmomdawg) reported

    @hbomax thanks for changing that up i was a tad mad about you censoring my viewing. This old lady does not like others telling me what i can or can not watch. I cancel subscriptions over those types of things. I appreciate your prompt fixing of the issue. See some of us are kind.

  • wdean1983 bigdub1983 (@wdean1983) reported

    @hbomax How about fix your trash app that crashes everyday. Worst streaming service out there.

  • PTFilm Peter Tedone (@PTFilm) reported

    @kristinamorss @hbomax Apparently was an error but kinda odd it exists at all.

  • pun_ulu Padoru Dimitri ☭⃠ (@pun_ulu) reported

    @hbomax @Sethrogen for one of the most awful **** ive seen in a long while

  • Thotless3 Thotless (@Thotless3) reported

    @hbomax @Sethrogen Fix Birds of Prey, fucknuggets.

  • carliemcguire Carlie McGuire (@carliemcguire) reported

    @KevinCrossman @heyleslieb @hbomax What’s working for me at the moment is swiping down on my appletv and selecting “auto” for captions. Might only be a temp fix and useless if you’re using another device. Weird thing is it only started happening a week or so ago. I turned them on for one show and bam.

  • condoman13 David aka Condo (@condoman13) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have followed every step in your troubleshooting on all of my devices and none of them are working. Looks like many other people are having the issue so it doesn’t look like it’s an us problem it looks like it’s a you problem.

  • OafTobar89 Oaf Tobar (@OafTobar89) reported from Milpitas, California

    Streaming video apps need to have video quality settings on their smart TV apps. The @hbomax app is extremely slow on #GoogleTV, even after completing basic troubleshooting like power cycling & cache resets. This is bc it pushes 4k content on my slow network & videos timeout.

  • revxli_ jay (@revxli_) reported

    anyways @hbomax please fix birds of prey and revert it back to it's original r-rated version <3

  • Unocrew224 Gregg Jordan (@Unocrew224) reported

    @hbomax Are you ever going to fix your app? I need to log in practically every day because “‘my subscription could not be verified”

  • didodi_tweet Didodi (@didodi_tweet) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I use Roku. When I click on a movie to watch it seems to buffer a few seconds and then takes me back to the homescreen.

  • myrnerys m (@myrnerys) reported

    @aulynduel @hbomax Apparently, it was an "error" on their part. Riiiiiight.

  • roda_coco CocoRoda (@roda_coco) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It’s been messed up since Wednesday and I sent you guys a DM already 😩😩😩! I need it fixed before the new Insecure episode! Come on now, don’t mess up my SELF CARE SUNDAY! @IssaRae help meeeehhh 😩😩😩

  • riylanmills ℝ𝕚𝕪𝕝𝕒𝕟 🏳️‍⚧️ (@riylanmills) reported

    Please please please cancel @gossipgirl @hbomax this is the worst **** I’ve ever seen

  • crash777davis Brett Davis (@crash777davis) reported

    @hbomax Hands down, the worst streaming app in major media. If one downloads shows and movies, why would the app require an internet connection?! What’s the point of downloading then? This among many other issues. Get it together HBO.

  • CoriNash20 Cori Nash (@CoriNash20) reported

    @serenawilliams @KingRichardFilm @hbomax Please cash app me really need help $CORINASH

  • abs Andrei Soroker (@abs) reported

    @hbomax free advice (browser): - make cursor go away after a couple of seconds - make left/right arrows rewind/ff - make up/down arrows control volume - "let's start where you left off last" is very broken - even on a single device. Syncing iOS -> browser is broken

  • seanjohnwan Sean (@seanjohnwan) reported

    @screenrant They got the broadcast cable version of Gladiator on there too lol @hbomax fix pls

  • nicestcunt Idontneedaname (@nicestcunt) reported

    @SkyRider805 @IGN @hbomax When you're watching a movie with your parents and suddenly there's a **** person bouncing. 🥵😳🙈 You want to diiieee lol. The movie theater is the worst, no escape.

  • didodi_tweet Didodi (@didodi_tweet) reported

    Nothing will play on @hbomax. Already been a couple days. I thought it was a payment issue or something but I guess I'm not alone dealing with this right now. Kind of a bummer.

  • KangVariant1 Jeremy (@KangVariant1) reported

    @NebsGoodTakes @hbomax please stop being your own worst enemy this will cause less memberships lol

  • condoman13 David aka Condo (@condoman13) reported

    @didodi_tweet @hbomax I’m having the same issues on all platforms I have the app. They need to fix this @hbomax . Nothing will play. Hit the play button and nothing works. Apple TV, Roku, Apple App on phone. Nothing plays.

  • cryptobound1 optionscalls (@cryptobound1) reported

    Hey @hbo @hbomax why does your program do this on my tv my tv isn’t broken. I pay for Hbomax monthly and just want to watch my shows.

  • vamp21 あなたが愚かなら翻訳する (@vamp21) reported

    HBO Max censoring the R-Rated Birds of Prey with a TV-14 Version is pretty weird. Their terrible original shows contain far worst content and scenes than anything #BirdsOfPrey has. @hbomax just gave me another reason why I rarely bother with Western movies and TV shows. #HBOMax

  • shanniepanties_ shannen (@shanniepanties_) reported

    @hbomax u should be ashamed of your app. you got all this money for what ? FIX IT

  • yangethy ningning fans palestine (@yangethy) reported

  • cell_0801 Matches Malone (@cell_0801) reported

    @NebsGoodTakes @hbomax this is bullshit! Fix it now!
