    @HBOMaxHelp A tablet is not a mobile Browser it’s a normal browser you can’t just decide this for ppl! This is not your decision!!! I want to use the browser because I like doing work while watching and putting it in a little window and your not the ones to tell me not to! Change this

  • j_boher Gabrielle J. Boher (@j_boher) reported

    @latimes @dubjackharper @hbomax Plus he gets to work with Anna!

  • NikolasKalar Nikolas Kalar (@NikolasKalar) reported

    @spicedrum @hbomax Did you find a solution to this? Having the same problem myself.

  • TkrotzPs Gator1014 (@TkrotzPs) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp I mean really. How can your App be this awful? Lags, quits. Rolling three dots forever. Just out of pure human decency you would think you would want to fix this garbage.

  • Andrewinnycus Andrew Fischer (@Andrewinnycus) reported

    @hbomax I love your content but your website is terrible. If I pause a show and play it later it doesn't recognize the new play time. The next episode never plays and if I click on next episode it just pauses the show.

  • emybarrett31 the pumpkin spice must flow (@emybarrett31) reported

    i hate @Xfinity and @hbomax they never work

  • pablomendezb94 Pablo Méndez (@pablomendezb94) reported

    @4everkels17 @hbomax Yes, I guess they’re going to fix it, but in the meantime, the only way is using another browser

  • pippiksolares marissa (@pippiksolares) reported

    @latimes @dubjackharper @hbomax this is terrible news

  • DoktorIJones DoktorIJones (@DoktorIJones) reported

    @hbomax On roku, apple tv, and iPhone I am having sync issues on every episode of Babylon 5 that I've checked, Spirit, and Dune. It's fine on the computer but the audio is WAY off on my devices.

  • SpaTravelGal Ava Roxanne Stritt (@SpaTravelGal) reported

    @hbomax what TYPE of plan do I need to watch Saints of Newark? It is telling me to switch plans. Please help!

  • LilyRHaley Chill-y 👻🎃💀 (@LilyRHaley) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp so i was able to get it to work by using chrome, but it seems i can no longer get videos to play when using safari version 14.1

  • AnnRich83062605 Ann Richards (@AnnRich83062605) reported

    @HoustonKevyn @HBOMaxHelp Is the error message: "We're having trouble playing this video. Please try again later"

  • mrsjgbuck Romance Librarian (she/her) (@mrsjgbuck) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp just signed up and nothing will play. Help?

  • LocalLegendCoop Slacksey O’Brien (@LocalLegendCoop) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hey, it’s your horrible app, no matter where it’s used or what Wi-Fi network it’s on. Every other streaming app works with zero problems. Have you tried making it better at any point in its existence?

  • zachadairchair Zachary Adair (@zachadairchair) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It's on a Roku Ultra. There are no error messages. If I select a show from "Continue watching" the purple box around the show acts like it was selected then does nothing. I tried other shows I've never watched and they work but shows I've started don't.

  • impalergeneral David Mello (@impalergeneral) reported

    @BingeWatchThis_ @DEADLINE The fear of putting Dune 2 at @hbomax too soon wouldn't exist if you vaxxed the F out of this country. Do that in two years and problem solved, guys

  • scottfernandez scott (@scottfernandez) reported

    @hbomax your menu sucks, fix it

  • gocubsgoinCO Richard ⚾️⚾️⚾️ (@gocubsgoinCO) reported

    @sarahmas @hbomax Great cast. Awful movie.

  • pooneting William Boone Sutton (@pooneting) reported

    @hbomax could we get one more season of the OG Teen Titans? Or maybe an animated movie wrapping up the loose ends? that'd be pretty crash.

  • MarkFloydThaut Gineration X 🍸 (@MarkFloydThaut) reported

    @hbomax app fricken sucks. Every single show freezes multiple times forcing you to get completely out and go back in. Which doesn’t always works. This doesn’t happen to us on any of the other 8 services we use. They need to fix this ****.

  • RegularSizeRyan Ryan Templeman (@RegularSizeRyan) reported

    Gave up. 34 mins & 17 seconds. Forgive me @HBOMaxHelp, I’m weak. But soon I’m sure I’ll learn to accept (even love) the @hbomax app— which, certainly by no of its own, freezes every few minutes. It’s a me problem. I’ll be better tomorrow. We’ve got this!!!

  • aeniii Alfred E Nash III (@aeniii) reported

    .@HBOMaxHelp I have had "can't play title" error all day. Please help.

  • greenclayguy Daniel Smith (@greenclayguy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I shouldn't have to do that every time I want to use your app! Didn't work either. Love the move, btw. Please fix your tech.

  • kypeli Johan Paul 🗽 (@kypeli) reported

    @hbomax When will John Oliver and Bill Maher return to HBO Max? As they are now gone in the Nordic HBO Max transition. Could you please fix this?

  • boys8n d(e)ad (@boys8n) reported

    @hbomax get your **** together. And fix the ******* app now. Not 3 months from now. NOW.

  • Izzy_TTV Izzy (@Izzy_TTV) reported

    Why does HBO Max never remember what episode I was on or where I was in it. Why do I have to roleplay as Sherlock Holmes just to watch Succession. @hbomax Fix this please.

  • pablomendezb94 Pablo Méndez (@pablomendezb94) reported

    @4everkels17 @hbomax The problem is with safari, if you download chrome or any other it works

  • PrinceRussel16 Chocolate Batman (@PrinceRussel16) reported

    How is your app still broken a year plus after launch @hbomax downloads still don’t play, app crashes, sound issues. How are you this bad? Multi billion dollar company has a worse app than a 12 year old dev.

  • pablomendezb94 Pablo Méndez (@pablomendezb94) reported

    @ShayyBanks @hbomax The problem is safari, if you go to chrome it works, it’s the only solution by the moment

  • augustmcadoo August McAdoo (@augustmcadoo) reported

    @Apple y’all REALLY need to get it together when it comes to #SharePlay. It doesn’t work properly. All I can do is share my music. @hulu and @hbomax DO NOT WORK. FIX IT. #iOS15
