    @hbomax Seriously?! You have an English and Spanish audio for #LifeisBeautiful but not the original Italian language version? Please fix it!!!

  • juanjoltaire Wigs 🏳️‍🌈 (@juanjoltaire) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The app on PS5 is crashing constantly while watching, been going on for weeks. I reinstalled the app, I restarted my PS5, but it doesn’t help. Other people are reporting constant crashes with the PlayStation HBO app. Please patch it!!

  • hammy87doe Hammy87doe (@hammy87doe) reported

    @hbomax great job! It’s so dope when this dumpster fire application crashes every 20 minutes. Get your **** together. Ask @netflix for hand on getting yours to run smoother. I’m not paying 15 a month to read your error message 15 times in one viewing of a movie. #hboslacks

  • KiloCharlie791 KiloCharlie4791 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 (@KiloCharlie791) reported

    Anybody else have trouble with the @hbomax app? Half the time we try to watch something, we can't.

  • bespear73 Brad Spear (@bespear73) reported

    @gossipgirl @hbomax This looks awful

  • cat_books_ Sarah👩🏼‍🏫📚🐱 (@cat_books_) reported

    okay, so @hbomax does this really annoying thing where it turns of the captions after every episode. so we are binge-watching a show and I have to turn them back on EVERY SINGLE TIME. so they should fix that!

  • Hartley1256 Hartley 😘 😍 (@Hartley1256) reported

    @C_CBarton @HBOMaxHelp I strongly recommend @rexxytech he help me recover back my hacked account when I have similar issue. His legit and guaranteed

  • MyLastSong18 Wesley Hatler (@MyLastSong18) reported

    @hbomax if the connection is dropped can you not go to an error screen that I then have to click home, show I was watching, play. I can’t enjoy HBO because I keep having to go through this routine cause my internet sucks. Just simply pause, show an error, then resume.

  • ThisGuyGio Gio (@ThisGuyGio) reported

    Trying to run @hbomax on ANY device other than your phone is almost pointless. Laptop, PS5 app, doesn’t matter - it’s going to stop to buffer or just crash at least 3-4 times during a movie 😑

  • Dave_253_ Dimble (@Dave_253_) reported

    @hbomax fix your dog **** app please

  • C_CBarton wacky frog lady🦎🍀🐸🏳️‍🌈 (@C_CBarton) reported from Strathmore, New Jersey

    @HBOMaxHelp my account was hacked and i can't access it at all. I was on the phone for 2 hours and someone started helping me but then the line dropped. Please help!

  • Cathy_Wood Cathy Wood (@Cathy_Wood) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Since everyone is having the same problems w/buffering, shows not starting, sound not being in sync, etc it can’t be everyone’s networks or devices need to be updated or restarted. It took me 4 tries to get Real Time to play after the app crashed 3 times! Overloaded!

  • AQintheBar AQ in the Bar (@AQintheBar) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It has been resolved through your chat service. A lot of people are having this problem—enough that it feels like like too big of a coincidence. Is this a data breach on your end? And why not better publicize the corrective measures?

  • JamesBe24349281 James Becky (@JamesBe24349281) reported

    @SingleGayTweets @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp Sorry to hear that your account was compromised. Don't panic anymore, I had same issue but with the help of hcybersecurity I got my issue resolved and to give you further information on how to recover back your account Message on WhatsApp to hacker +1(508)-928-7823

  • Fortuned_ AMH🦋 (@Fortuned_) reported

    Yoooo @hbomax your app is terrible. It never works. Idk what I’m paying for.

  • Scorpio96524154 Scorp Report (@Scorpio96524154) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why dose this app never work? it freezes every 27 minutes no matter what you do. We should get free service until you provide service.

  • AlexBierRio Alex Bier Rio (@AlexBierRio) reported

    @RealSportsHBO @hbomax 117 Indians Athletes went 2 d Rio Olympics, not sure in a country of billions if hundreds of vaccines to athletes would make any difference. I don’t see a problem at all with given athletes vaccines first. Your segment makes it seems like it’s thousands and thousands per country

  • Lukematica72 Lucas (@Lukematica72) reported

    @hbomax your app sucks fix the dam rewind and forward issues

  • cinderxblocks ATLAS BABYLON 🏳️‍🌈 (@cinderxblocks) reported

    .@hbomax is there a reason that every single time I watch something on your PS4 app that it “crashes” by putting up an error message over what’s playing as it CONTINUES to play both the audio and video of what I was watching??

  • Black_Mario_Bro Cedric Love Jr. (@Black_Mario_Bro) reported

    @HBOMax has the worst interface. Why is it so hard to rewind, fast forward, or even pause on the PS4? No issues with @Netflix or @HULU, but HBO Max can suck an egg.

  • but_1st_coffee_ barbie's cuter sister (@but_1st_coffee_) reported

    Why does @hbomax have an “oops something went wrong” error after every damn episode??? You’re HBO, for crying out loud. You’ve got the budget… fix this nonsense.

  • FreakyWeasel McYummy Sunshine (@FreakyWeasel) reported

    The @hbomax app is what you get when you instruct programmers to “just make it work randomly, bandwidth is expensive “.

  • SingleGayTweets SingleGayGuy (@SingleGayTweets) reported

    Hey @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp someone has hacked my account and changed my password. HELP.

  • KaraSnowflake Special**K** (@KaraSnowflake) reported

    @Cathy_Wood @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxHelp sound and buffering have been a constant complaint from so many customers (including me). This app has one of the worst user interfaces of all.

  • blackfyre819 BlackFyre (@blackfyre819) reported

    @DCTitans @hbomax 1st season was great, must’ve been a writing change in season 2 because it is awful, truly
