    @hbomax please fix the bug in the controls on the @AppleTV app. Fast forward and rewind functions are a mess.

  • 0megapartic1e Joey Geraci (@0megapartic1e) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hope you'll fix your Roku app while you're working on the Apple TV one. I can't play anything on HBO Max on my 4k Roku TV. (Other apps work fine) Restarted the app and the TV, no help. Seems like HBO should fire their dev team.

  • hmbarstow Holly Barstow (@hmbarstow) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Just spent 15 minutes trying to find the Smart Hub on my Frame TV - no luck. Why is HBOMax the only problem? I don't have probs with Hulu,Netflix, Disney+. Why am I having to be the IT guy for this?

  • mpgarate Michael Garate (@mpgarate) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @TillyBridges I am having this same issue. Error 905 for the most recent episode of last week tonight when I use my Android phone to Chromecast.

  • PootiusMaximus Bony-eared AssFish (@PootiusMaximus) reported

    @AliCeeYah @hbomax There was world wide internet outage today.

  • PetertheStray Peter Stray (@PetertheStray) reported

    @hbomax - @AppleTV - awful. Sort it out. Please

  • PartTimeFanboy Part-Time Fanboy (@PartTimeFanboy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Happened again. Your channel on the Roku is terrible. Some shows play, others don't, some movies play, others don't. It's a crap shoot. Have to uninstall and reinstall the channel just to get it to work.

  • Buckeyefan024 GP (@Buckeyefan024) reported

    @hbomax no Entourage movie????? #disappointed @mrkevinconnolly @mrdougellin why is this an issue? P.S. every entourage fan wants it!!!! #Entourage

  • mrsosodeaf Allen (@mrsosodeaf) reported

    @hbomax hello in trying to load up The Big Bang Theory and it’s clitches. I’ll have it on the title screen of the episode click play then screen changes as if it’s loading then tricks you and goes back to the title screen. How do I fix this problem?

  • Wine_and_Whines Wine And Whines (@Wine_and_Whines) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp hey can you help me? I can’t pause rewind or fast forward. It just moves to whatever spot it wants back and forth on its own.

  • lifebygigi Gigi 🧜🏾‍♀️ (@lifebygigi) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp WTH???????? this app hasn't worked properly in days. Don't ask for an error code, there isn't one. It just stops playing the show and goes to the roku home screen. I need to watch VEEP every day. I have a doctor's note.

  • Whiteb68 Brad (@Whiteb68) reported

    @hbomax the audio is messed up on the first Harry Potter film. No matter what language you set it to, there is a guy describing the entire movie, please fix it!

  • rican_808 Rican_808 (@rican_808) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Has Apple TV issue with the Siri remote been fixed?

  • RellDesire 💞 (@RellDesire) reported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    @HBOMaxHelp @Plainnn_Jane I’m getting the same issue on my roku streaming with @verizonfios

  • balamurali_2010 Murali (@balamurali_2010) reported

    @emeliog94 @HBOMaxHelp I'm also having same issue Except Conjuring played with Atmos on premiere day but now No Vision ,No Atmos

  • bri_randy Brian Randal (@bri_randy) reported

    Seriously @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp - FIX YOUR SEEKING LOGIC ON APPLETV. It SUUUUUUUUUCKS.

  • RiverMills79 Cailyn 🏳️‍🌈 (@RiverMills79) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m using Apple TV. I got it to work but I can’t fast forward or play it. It’s messed up. It’s going through the parts of the movie, but I can’t play it

  • gon6296 J (@gon6296) reported

    Anyone else have problem with @hbomax always buffering. It’s driving me insane!!! 😡

  • eddymezg0 Edward Gomez (@eddymezg0) reported

    @hbomax @wbpictures @DCComics Making #BlueBeetle only available over HBO Max is a terrible idea. How great would it be to get the Latino crowd going out to the movie theaters to watch a story about a Mexican-American superhero. This is disappointing.

  • poopsmith420 The Poopsmith (@poopsmith420) reported

    @hbomax @hbomaxmovies why you guys break the AppleTV app? Literally unusable.

  • SoCalBIGmike Michael Galli (@SoCalBIGmike) reported from Irvine, California

    @HBOMaxHelp Now do the iOS app, please. It’s terrible.

  • mrdongsontoyou I am the Mad Man. (@mrdongsontoyou) reported

    Hey @hbomax fix your ****. I want to watch sopranos.

  • RiverMills79 Cailyn 🏳️‍🌈 (@RiverMills79) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp was watching The Conjuring 3 and it suddenly stopped and then an error message came up

  • matt_maddox Matt Maddox (@matt_maddox) reported

    @hbomax please please please fix your @AppleTV app. All basic functions are broken and it’s a horrible user experience.

  • serosanguineous Double Homicide Detective (@serosanguineous) reported

    @hbomax please fix your app

  • KingQuinn67 KingQuinn (@KingQuinn67) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp please fix the app or server, this has been going on for 3 days and I know I'm not alone.

  • Ridermann_ John (@Ridermann_) reported

    @hbomax yo fix rush hour 2, the audio and video don’t sync up so annoying

  • JLWestbrock Joe Westbrock (@JLWestbrock) reported

    Dear @hbomax and @Samsung , I really like your products. However, after having used the max app for a couple of days on a Samsung product, it doesn't seem to be working that well. Are you aware of issues with the app and interface? Just want to make sure you're aware. Thanks!

  • Zapski Zapski (@Zapski) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The latest AppleTV app is abysmally bad. Whoever decided to abandon universally accepted APIs and standards ruined it. I mean it’s like the last ten years we’re thrown out for no good reason. Please fix this disaster, thanks.
