HBO Max Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DerekMLacey Derek M. Lacey (@DerekMLacey) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hello. No, we attempted to watch the movie mentioned on an LG television. Makes it to the main HBO splash screen then endless two white dot looping then eventually an error message.

  • KillyWarwick Killy (@KillyWarwick) reported

    I really hate paying $14.99 a month for @hbomax to buffer and skip to the end of the episode, every episode.

  • MerrilYu Merril (@MerrilYu) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thank you for your reply - I did pay a year in advance and have no issue being billed for 1 month but for 11 months without any use is unreasonable

  • trevorbryant100 Sweetpea T🤍 (@trevorbryant100) reported

    @hbomax why on God’s green earth can I not rewind 10seconds without the program having to buffer endlessly?

  • JustinDuty Justin Duty (@JustinDuty) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I don't need a screenshot. I know what the issue is. The digital transfer was poorly done. The rig used to capture the film image to digital was shaking. The film was not remastered before the transfer and there are old film flickers throughout.

  • BrolIvanilde Ivanilde Terezinha Bról Santos (@BrolIvanilde) reported

    @melissamccarthy @TeachForAmerica @hbomax Jer33:3Call to me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jesus says that we err (sin,transgress, go beyond what is written and violate the mandments) because we do not know his word and the power of God.Sin is more work than asking

  • Dat1W31rdWr173R ThatOneWeirdWriter (@Dat1W31rdWr173R) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can’t, unfortunately. While I do use the account with my name on it, the actual email is owned by my old man/father. And no offense, I’m not that desperate enough to have to give up my phone for several hours just to mess with my phone, instead of trying to fix the issue.

  • decbaal Casual Gamer (@decbaal) reported

    @BeeblsOfficial @netflix @hbomax i caught some of this show since another was watching it. the chick was a terrible person who pretended to be innocent. she chose her abusive bf over her kids bc she liked the abuse and abusing people as she was known for beating up chicks. the only innocents are the kids

  • carturo222 Arturo Serrano (@carturo222@nerdculture.de) (@carturo222) reported

    @Umbral_KnightX @hbomax Wouldn't that be the same problem of readers who wait until a book series is complete before buying the first book?

  • SomeGuyIguess5 a (@SomeGuyIguess5) reported

    @ShakeHandsBNice @harikondabolu @hbomax To parrot a point he made in the actual video, there is a character in The Simpsons named "Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel." No problems with that, but the indian guy with a computer science doctorate is the problem.

  • PopCultureMods 🥂 Elaine Benes Enthusiast 🥂 (@PopCultureMods) reported

    Hey @hbomax ,not a fan of piracy but if I can't watch content on the app I am paying for? That's where I am going. This is the third week in a row where I got errors trying to watch LWT.

  • HeyAshAsh Ash (@HeyAshAsh) reported

    @hbomax why does your streaming service pause constantly no matter what I’m watching? It’s like it needs to buffer, but it doesn’t

  • fosho_Lee IG:@sho.lee - YouTube: Sho Lee - (@fosho_Lee) reported

    I feel like everyone has at least 1 complaint about @hbomax app and you're telling me they don't know this and can fix it?

  • mwe1967 Packk802 (@mwe1967) reported

    @hbomax Lord of Light protect us! For the writing is bad and full of errors!

  • MerrilYu Merril (@MerrilYu) reported

    @hbomax disingenuous to solicit subscription during our trip to the US only to find out it doesn't work in the Philippines and NO way to contact any customer service

  • rohandas Abhimanyu Das (@rohandas) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @ZinnZac I’m having the same issue on ps4 app.

  • othurone R Dean Riddlebarger (@othurone) reported

    @jayblackisfunny @blankcheckpod @hbomax Clockwork and Luke kinda work. But the #1 position with Wayne just … well… no….

  • femprincessboi 🔞fem princess boi 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇦🇫🇲🇹 (@femprincessboi) reported

    @HannaBarberaCap Someone should leak it. I know that can be problematic but if they’re not even going to let them release it, someone should leak it and at least let people get to see their hard work. Again, f u to @hbomax @wbd

  • Vandervecken_99 Vandervecken (@Vandervecken_99) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Awful, awful show.

  • DollEyes4961 DollEyes4961: Over-Educated, Single & Proud (@DollEyes4961) reported

    @kamsfer2 @hbomax Since @wbd, HBO Max's parent company, is BILLIONS in debt, they're not an option and their cancelling "Gentleman Jack," another wlw series, doesn't help.

  • nejjie1 Jenni D (@nejjie1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp They're just FAQs though. I have been on that page. The FAQs don't help. How do I speak to someone directly?

  • JustinDuty Justin Duty (@JustinDuty) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the version of Three Amigos you have up is a terrible digital transfer. The whole screen wobbles. Non-stop visual artifacts.

  • localmudwitch kari (@localmudwitch) reported

    Is anyone else having issues getting #Barbarian to play on @hbomax

  • DerekMLacey Derek M. Lacey (@DerekMLacey) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp what the hell is with See How They Run? We’ve been trying to watch it for three days via an LG screen and FIOS delivery. Some 30 plus character error code I’m not hand copying.

  • FarisMD16 Faris MD (@FarisMD16) reported

    @Impulse785 @hbomax @JamesGunn They need to fix this issue before making shows that half of the fandom can't watch

  • msangel Ms.Angel (@msangel) reported

    Hey @hbomax, before you consider a price increase, try making your app work so it doesn’t loop to the purchase screen every time I try to watch something. It’s frustrating, since I pay for the service and I’ve already signed in.

  • BookPRGirl Laura Rossi (@BookPRGirl) reported

    @hbomax why won’t the hbo max app play house of dragons episodes? Error message for any ep after 5 even after all your trouble shooting tips

  • HL1Dfan April ☀️ (@HL1Dfan) reported

    I know what I'm doing when I get off work this morning. @hbomax @dontworrydarlin

  • WA0ARO Jim (@WA0ARO) reported

    @AXSD73 @dish @hbomax Totally agree. Nothing but problems. Junk software, stupid prices. I spend more time with support than watching TV. Can't wait for my contract to be up. #buyerbeware

  • kahpentah Manipulateur de bois artistique (@kahpentah) reported

    @hbomax how long until you figure out the commercials hang up and stall before you fix it?
