  • Hdickson05 Henry Dickson (@Hdickson05) reported

    @hbomax might be the worst streaming service and app ever made

  • CarasikS Scott Carasik (@CarasikS) reported

    I guess, @HBOMaxHelp isn’t trying to actually help me. Looks like cancellation is in their future when we call the CC company.

  • katebranden Kate Branden (@katebranden) reported

    Dear @hbomax: So you want your data off Amazon. I get it. But your app is awful in comparison. Really, really bad. To the level where I’m asking if I want to pay for that much aggravation. Fix this. Make it a good experience. Then you’ll get my money again. @AppleTV you too.

  • Jamielinka Kathryn Kempton (@Jamielinka) reported

    @hbomax why does HBO Max on my Roku consistently have issues ? No other Roku app causes problems. Trying to watch a show and it’s stopped steaming or gone to the home page no less than 6 times in 6 min. For weeks now. 15/mo is a lot for this!

  • Ladibugg54 Bea Cholewa ✝ 🇺🇸️ (@Ladibugg54) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp This evening I tried to start up HBO Max and got the message "Close HBO Max. An unknown problem occurred. Please contact your TV provider." This has never happened before and my subscription is paid into October. - PLEASE HELP!!

  • lightofheaven_ (@lightofheaven_) reported

    @hbomax FIX YOUR ****!!

  • winterschild11 Saracastically (@winterschild11) reported

    @hulu @hbomax Make sure to check tell people if you hey want to binge watch their favourite classics, they better be prepared to settle for just the ending credits because you haven’t bothered to fix the “known issue” that was reported months ago.

  • failurebydesig3 failurebydesign93 (@failurebydesig3) reported

    @hbomax Please fix your ****** *** app. It is hands down the worst streaming platform.

  • PJ82098 Captain Howdy (@PJ82098) reported from Merrimack, New Hampshire

    Dear @hbomax. I just watched #Malignant and I wish to be compensated for the 1:51:33 of my life I will never get back. Absolutely awful!

    apple tv killing you. fight back @hbomax (just fix the rewind)

  • Kreshendo_ T R iLL Stan Account (@Kreshendo_) reported

    @hbomax fix the captions for your movies and shows. When a person say “*****” the captions should say that. Not “******”. They are not the same thing. After watching the Boondocks the other and 40 year old Virgin today, I noticed it seems to be every time. #fixit

  • marinasr Marina - VAXXED and still MASKED 😷 (@marinasr) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Every time we watch a show it ends with this. We can watch Prime, Hulu and Apple with no issues.

    @Roku @hbomax Is there a system problem? I can’t connect to my network. I tried everything on the website, nothing worked & my wifi is not the issue.

  • joshuagrotheer Joshua Grotheer (@joshuagrotheer) reported

    Rewatching #whitelotus on @hbomax and I'm reminded why hotel, resort and private club management were never part of my hospitality career. These guests are truly awful to the resort staff.
