HBO Max Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • QusaRes ResqUSA (@QusaRes) reported

    Anyone watching @RealTimers anymore? I think @billmaher has a real issue. He’s not the same. Something has changed. He’s angry. Not funny. Spreading disinformation about covid. @hbomax what’s up ? This sucks.

  • GiraffeBone Geoff Rathbone (@GiraffeBone) reported

    @AlexMultiFamily @tinnkky @hbomax Idk but Netflix employs a large number of very well paid engineers. At the end of the day people put up with the HBO interface so... Why fix it?

  • goaterhead Goaterhead (@goaterhead) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @murderxbryan On the Amazon Fire Stick, HBO Max is hell on Earth- unusable.

  • devmobnow #3dprinthelp (@devmobnow) reported

    @davemark @hbomax I was wondering why I couldn’t get it to work.

  • megascott Scott Smith 👨🏻‍💻 (@megascott) reported

    @davemark @hbomax My biggest fear is that this is a temporary roll back while they continue to work on their own solution. Even though there’s absolutely no reason.

  • dontdragmedwn Dont Drag Me Down (@dontdragmedwn) reported

    Yo @hbomax that was worst @RealTimers w/ @billmaher ever. Good windup monologue & decent writing but panel & host off rails. Spreading misinformation on covid? Dude is losing it. Used to love this show. Now I hate it.

  • TheDevilDiavolo The Devil 😈 (@TheDevilDiavolo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m on a ROKU. I do have U-verse but watch thru the ROKU. This has been happening off and on for weeks. Start watching & just get kicked back to the ROKU menu. I’ve logged out & checked for updates. Didn’t help.

  • imlaurenash lauren (@imlaurenash) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp your website is not providing any type of help and I need help nowwww

  • jas_aisha_ ⭐️jas⭐️ (@jas_aisha_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @murderxbryan your apps interface is terrible. Rewinding or fast forwarding is almost impossible without messing the show up. Also when watching a show the only thing in the continue watching tab is that single episode you can’t see the whole show. FIX YOUR APP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Alaine_Gigon Alaine Gigon (@Alaine_Gigon) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Well can they work on setting a date it’s been over a year

  • Yojimbo2049 yojimbo2049 (@Yojimbo2049) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @murderxbryan It takes too many clicks to view a series to change episodes/season, arrow keys don't work for ff/rewind, and you should have a "next episode" button

  • RoRogerRoger90 RogerRoger (@RoRogerRoger90) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @murderxbryan Fix the subtitles. It looks horrible and the subtitles don’t match the talking. I know most Americans don’t use subtitles but as non English speaker, i need it. Also provide an option for voice search. I’m using android tv and it’s take time to type.

  • Dawni_Darko ドーン 益岡 Queen of EVERYTHING (@Dawni_Darko) reported

    @TonyGdonski @hbomax I beam it to my TV via chromecast or watch through xbox 1, never had an issue. What are you using?

  • angearia Emmie (@angearia) reported

  • cramseylib Christine (@cramseylib) reported

  • BroManC4 Big Nick Cain (@BroManC4) reported

    @pamelaa_nicolee @hbomax I tried to rewind the movie because I had to get something to drink...froze. Had to close and reopen it twice THEN it restarted itself 5 times. How the hell did they let this go out in the masses?! It's impossible to binge watch because it'll error message after every episode

  • brown_alston Alston Brown (@brown_alston) reported
