HBO Max Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • abigaail17 Abby (@abigaail17) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I was able to fix it by closing out the app and restarting. It still happens but only if I rewind more than twice within an episode. On a Sony 4K smart TV.

  • sglerner Sara Lerner (@sglerner) reported

    Why is the HBO max app on Samsung smart TVs SO BAD? We have to restart the TV every *single* night to make it work. What’s the deal @hbomax ? @SamsungTV

  • UberLaria UberLaria (@UberLaria) reported

    @hbomax why does your app lag so much? Every movie, about 1/3 of the way through starts to be unwatchable. Can't you have it buffer more or something?

  • jt_shadow35 jon (@jt_shadow35) reported

    @adamhlavac @hbomax I couldn’t wait I had to see it first day like I always do with films I was going to see it by myself which I always do but this year I got a GF and now got a movie partner I couldn’t do that to her and waited for her finish work and made it date night

  • madebygoogle Made By Google (@madebygoogle) reported

    @QemMcKem Got it. Since this is only happening when you're casting from HBO Max, hopefully @HBOMaxHelp could jump in for additional help.

  • ferdehecke Ferde Hecke (@ferdehecke) reported

    One more night that I can’t watch @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp on @roku. Simply impossible, when is the issue getting solved? #hbomaxroku

  • biohazardfan07 😊☺️😁🤓😎Andrew🇺🇲⚛🎮🕹🎞📽📹🎥🎬 (@biohazardfan07) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Everytime I try to start a movie it doesn't work. It just loads over and over again. It's the same **** happening to everyone.

  • QemMcKem Qem McKem (@QemMcKem) reported

    @madebygoogle @HBOMaxHelp Yeah. They got me on DM. Been working on random streaming issues with them since early June with no resolution. App and tv is up to date. I tagged everyone involved this time because I'm getting a bit frustrated. With the tv shows I can stream them on Hulu just fine.

  • cryyn_ Dayton (@cryyn_) reported

    How did you guys make such a terrible working app? @hbomax

  • marclafountain Marc LaFountain (@marclafountain) reported

    @HeadshotTweets @HBOMaxHelp @YouTubeTV I don’t *think* I typoed the email address in HBO Max, as I don’t think I even had to type the email address due to the Google/YTTV Provider login. I also don’t know why things worked for the first month and then stopped working.

  • CoachDeckerBHS Justin Decker (@CoachDeckerBHS) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Roku, followed all directions listed for support. Same issue with Xbox One as well.

  • KSeaMasterPiece Casey J for the USA (@KSeaMasterPiece) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why? The idea of the list is to make viewing easier. Limiting the number makes it pointless. ThAt is an absolutely awful policy

  • SasekBryan Bryan Sasek (@SasekBryan) reported

    @hbomax This is the worst app I've ever had to use. It kicks you out and makes you sign back in over and over. Then when you do try to sign back in, it sends you back to CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. Seriously??? Until they work out the bugs, don't pay for this! It's a waste of your money!

  • bwhite70 Mr Optimism🤔 (@bwhite70) reported

    @joelrspiegel @CryMachoFilm @hbomax He is and any one should cheer on the American dream. Where else can you on your hard work and ideas go from earning a wage to starting your business…..oh wait not even here because your shut down for a disease that cured the flu and common cold. Oh wait we need to shut down …

  • erod214er Edgar R (@erod214er) reported

    @0potentia @HBOMaxHelp You just got to stream through your phone that **** don’t work for most people

  • marclafountain Marc LaFountain (@marclafountain) reported

    @HeadshotTweets @HBOMaxHelp @YouTubeTV You said you think the problem is with HBO Max since it impacts multiple providers. My best guess is that something changed or broke on the HBO Max side and that creating an email/password sign-in attached to the YouTube TV login has resolved it. But, that’s a guess.

  • SasekBryan Bryan Sasek (@SasekBryan) reported

    @hbomax ...create a new account. This has gone on and on. It usually takes 4 or 5 attempts to be able to sign in before it usually starts to work again. This time, it's just not allowing me to sign in. I tried 7 times this time and still no dice.

  • RoninQue Ωrochimaru (@RoninQue) reported

    @hbomax app is awful.

  • knmx29 Karina (@knmx29) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can no longer see what devices are signed on with my account when I go to Manage Devices. Is still a glitch or a change ?

  • DaMoundzBeast Teddy Beast (@DaMoundzBeast) reported from Memphis, Tennessee

    @hbomax having problems with the app, anytime I select a movie or show it just goes to a blank screen and have to force close the app to get just off my phone again.

  • prettystonerboy 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔭𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔟𝔬𝔶 (@prettystonerboy) reported

    @hbomax you are the worst "streaming" service to date. like wtf?

  • The_Johnny5 Johnny5 (@The_Johnny5) reported

    @hbomax app not working! Please fix it!

  • Pacific_h2o Jack Baldwin (@Pacific_h2o) reported

    @hbomax Hello, is there currently an issue with ATT Wireless customers logging into their HBO Max accounts? Yes, I have a qualifying account and I am using the correct user ID and password.

  • GeriTownsley Geri Townsley (@GeriTownsley) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp I wish you would fix your buffering bug with your now useless streaming service too. Oh and it is not an isp issue either. Because @paramountplus is faster too.

  • PK_Useless idk what name to use (@PK_Useless) reported

    @hbomax why is Adventure Time so censored? you take out a lot of the context it doesn't make sense, can you fix it or something because there's too much censorship

  • OfficialFatalZ Fatal Z (@OfficialFatalZ) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @Zultra_99 its doing the same **** to me fix your stupid *** app whoever is coding it needs to be fired cause my ******* dog could do that job better

  • mattdelarosa Matt De La Rosa (@mattdelarosa) reported from San Jose, California

    If you were in High School or College in 1999, you should go watch Music Box’s Woodstock ‘99 episode on @hbomax. My biggest memories of that event were Kurt Loder and fire. The mid to late 90s were a crazy time. Kid Rock & Limp Bizkit were terrible then & still terrible now.

  • Itsmeluu Luu (@Itsmeluu) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can't dm you b/c you're not following me the troubleshooting didn't help. This is a bug in the app, please forward my message to your dev team

  • RodTheAdversary RodTheOrator (@RodTheAdversary) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @cari_mclellan @bocxtop Everyone that has the app is complaining about ****** interface y’all gotta fix it (hire black people)

  • xfileshoodie valerie (@xfileshoodie) reported

    Is there a higher payment tier where the @hbomax app works? I wouldn’t pay it but I’m just curious to know if there’s a version of this app that does actually work.
