  • shumanator_121 Michael Shuman (@shumanator_121) reported

    Why is @hbomax the worst optimized app all the time? It's hardly ever loads when every other app loads just fine. My God how is it this terrible non stop?

  • ibrahimbinazar FatherAbraH.A.M. (@ibrahimbinazar) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve sent over all the details 6 hours ago but haven’t heard back. I’m skeptical that you looking into anything will fix the obvious networking issue your service has tbh. Are you intent on improving the technical situation you have going on?

  • BashirAhatta1 Bashir Ah atta (@BashirAhatta1) reported

    @EvacOurAllies @hbomax Please help those Afghan_P1&P2_case_holders who have relocated to Pakistan since last year. They are living in bad situations without food, accommodations, Visa and no access to basic health services. #Please_Accelerate_Progress_Of_P2P1Cases_inPakistan

  • TDoggie TDoggie (@TDoggie) reported

    @CartoonitoCN @hbomax You are terrible people.

  • FantasyMnstrDFS Fantasy Monster (@FantasyMnstrDFS) reported

    .@hbomax - like you, but have to cancel. Your @SamsungSupport TV app is the worst!!!!

  • CarrieLowndes1 Carrie Lowndes (@CarrieLowndes1) reported

    @unlisteditem @HouseofDragon @hbomax It's just my view that she does not look like Millie soooo ya problem ???

  • Ethan_Anderton Ethan Anderton (@Ethan_Anderton) reported

    I’ve been catching up with THE OTHER TWO, which is a total laugh riot. And all I gotta say is that David Zaslav better not **** with that third season order at @hbomax, or we’re gonna have a problem.

  • mmdesignpro Mel McKenzie - Pro Designer (@mmdesignpro) reported

    Moonfall on @hbomax was terrible. Tried to do too much, ended up with some awkwardly short scenes like a key character death.

  • TresGatos2022 PurpleLeashProject💜 (@TresGatos2022) reported

    @TieLerijl @HouseofDragon @hbomax The war is the central issue, not the backstory.

  • mrbonomo Matt Bonomo (@mrbonomo) reported

    Moonfall is, without question, the worst movie made within the last decade or possibly our lifetime. Thx @hbomax for supporting and releasing complete crap.

  • kirbygrines Kirby Grines (@kirbygrines) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi there. I’ll let it work itself out. Was just reaching out as a courtesy. Hopefully it’s just a “me” problem.

  • _mah_saa_ مَهسا (@_mah_saa_) reported

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax Help! #مهسا_امینی

  • Jewels__20 julia (@Jewels__20) reported

    @Darkseid241 @_silentdefender @hbomax well this is my issue in general with Damon’s writing. he’s never held accountable so he’s never “redeemed” because the writing just eventually forget the things he’s done rather than him actively making amends!

  • tvdu93734 . (@tvdu93734) reported

    @Jewels__20 @_silentdefender @hbomax girl where? The show literally presents stefans creepy *** as the better beother even when he makes elena feel broken 💀damon is the underdog not stefan. Even klaus liked stefans torture lmfao

  • Davidv030765 david vazquez (@Davidv030765) reported

    @hbomax Instead of new productions, fix the app, it crashes a lot

  • vercetttt1 V2 (@vercetttt1) reported

    @Attlas36 @HouseofDragon @hbomax What do you mean please fix this? The episode had already aired. Tiny mistake but i doubt 99% of viewers picked up on it

  • jphughes3 Joe Hughes (@jphughes3) reported

    More specifically anyone else having trouble with @hbomax app on appleTV?

  • sophiesglock Em✨ (@sophiesglock) reported

    @ITZYMIDZY4Life7 @hbomax I mean I’m not saying instantly they need to work up to it for sure with some beef along the way but eventually.

  • tvdu93734 . (@tvdu93734) reported

    @Jewels__20 @_silentdefender @hbomax stefan LITERALLY made elena feel like a broken toy and his actions were justified all the time in the show meanwhile damon was treated like a villain for protecting people 💀 stefan manipulated elena so much and he couldnt accept her unless shes human (same with katherine)

  • Nerdvano1 Ding **** (@Nerdvano1) reported

    @BleedingFool @hbomax Seems like HBO Mac is quickly trying to become the worst streaming service. I actually like it and use it often. When it started, I considered it the best out there, but with these cancellations and removals, I’m not so sure anymore.

  • ttroy476 Troy Taylor (@ttroy476) reported

    @hbomax **** sake, I can’t help but like this lady. If only the velaryons were on her side

  • sm201381 woman (@sm201381) reported

    @hbomax Please help us

  • Attlas36 Attlas (@Attlas36) reported

    @DboraCa08221866 @HouseofDragon @hbomax no reflection or monitor screen ;) look on HBO Max, problem is real. (yes it's a very little defaut, I agree ;) but...)

  • justindonnavan Justin van Staverden (@justindonnavan) reported

    @TresGatos2022 @rigorrmorrtis @hbomax No one asked, no one cares. Was never about the spelling. You go ahead an type in multiple languages while also spelling everything correctly! Don’t twist ur stupid stuff towards me like it was my issue to begin with lmao. You decided to critique people’s spelling online. Cringe

  • PraiseB2Me BruceTheAlmighty (@PraiseB2Me) reported

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax So you work on trying to invest us in these characters and by episode 6 you time jump and recast most of the leads for older versions of themselves? Hated it on The Crown and hating it even more now

  • ibrahimbinazar FatherAbraH.A.M. (@ibrahimbinazar) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp why are you asking me to send over speed test results serial numbers and other info when there is no buffer issues with any of the other major streaming services? It’s obviously a server side issue.

  • MrOrang32673642 MrOrange (@MrOrang32673642) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp do something about the login on #AppleTV it is ridiculous to have to write in a password with the remote. Look at Disney plus! Much better UX!!!!! Your apps suck so much….

  • LeaRHfan 𝓛𝓮𝓪 (@LeaRHfan) reported

    @Attlas36 @HouseofDragon @hbomax Of all the things and that catches your focus? I didn't even notice it. Don't even see a big problem. Maybe it's my vision.

  • BnAtipp Andrew T (@BnAtipp) reported

    @hbomax when are y’all going to fix your on tv apps so they don’t freeze all the dang time?

  • poweranimals Matt (@poweranimals) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why do I keep getting this error?
