  • enorsted Erik Norsted (@enorsted) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have a Samsung smart TV. I’ve had a working version of HBO Max, but last week the app showed a message saying it needed to be updated. The update didn’t work. Tried deleting to reinstall, but now I can’t even re-download the app even though I removed all but a few basic apps.

  • JeffReadOnly Jeff Rams (@JeffReadOnly) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I get that you are help staff just trying to assist where you can when people complain. I appreciate the attempt. But the app just needs to be written better for the system period. Just add me to the log of people who complained & hopefully the devs will improve it 1 day.

    Hey @hbomax, why is your PS4 App so bad? I’m seriously considering demanding a refund. I prepaid for a year subscription a week ago, and have been unable to watch a single film to completion without the app crashing. It’s unusable! Can you fix your app‽

    @Megyver_ @RokuSupport @HBOMaxHelp I can use my laptop and my tablet but It's the app and the roku's problem really. I've had issues with my roku.. To the point that I closed Netflix then tried to reopen it and the whole roku said it was too big for the roku when it came with the damn device. This **** is trash
