    @hbomax Do ya'll plan on fixing your app are is HBO okay w/ a 3.3 rating. It's mostly the same complaint too. App keeps turning off or not responding. Back in the day we fixed issues. Is this the new pre-Biden world where nothing gets done and we just have to deal w/ sh**?

    @Roblox @intheheights @hbomax hey roblox I don't know what they did with the game but I can't play it's super slow, it locks me up and they kill me suddenly, fix it please I've been like this since morning and I'm tired

  • MLGutierrez Michelle R Gutierrez (@MLGutierrez) reported

    @cjrichmond15 I wrote HBO Max help about that very issue. They told me to uninstall the app, turn off the device, and reinstall. Worked better for about a day. Now is back to the same old issues. What’s up, @HBOMaxHelp?

  • ABorofski6 $alborofski (@ABorofski6) reported

    Hey @hbomax your app is probably the worst app ever created

  • highboxunlock highbox 2.0 (@highboxunlock) reported

    @RRushin6 @HBOMaxHelp Kindly DM me to help recover your hacked and disabled account back...!

  • Reignier2907 Jeffery Daggs (@Reignier2907) reported

    @hbomax Trying to watch ZSJL but no audio? Strangely all of Zack Snyder's movies will play without audio? I've seen others have issues as well. But strange that every other movie or show plays fine. It's strictly Zack's movies from my testing so far. Anything else works fine.

  • KDallasHammond Katherine D. Hammond (@KDallasHammond) reported

    I have never had more errors on a streaming app than I have with @hbomax via @Xfinity

  • StillSumAsshole JustSomeHatingAsshole (@StillSumAsshole) reported

    @Troubl37 @hbomax It stops towards the end of everything and goes can’t play error!!

  • Troubl37 𝕋𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕓𝕝𝕖 (@Troubl37) reported

    @Sie_says_huh @hbomax it doesnt WORK? its the least userfriendly streaming app ive ever used.

  • cnallard3164201 FuzzyDragon316 (@cnallard3164201) reported

    @ColeTeachman @hbomax Yeah, waiting on a fix, it is a known issue. They've repeated it on their end so it's just a waiting game now.

  • RayGrange Ray Grange (@RayGrange) reported

    who made the @hbomax app for @PlayStation 5? every 30 minutes it says "an error has occurred" and I have to restart the show/movie. garbage

  • willydearborn William Dearborn (@willydearborn) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Is the iOS app reverting to the native player too? It has the same issues, along with the fact that you can't zoom the video.

  • BMcbiffy ₿iffy Mc₿iffy (@BMcbiffy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Seriously, thanks again. I realize my initial message was probably over-the-top, but it was awful using the app. Now it's back to normal. So, I apologize for the tone of my initial message and keep doing what you're doing.

  • phishstyx1 phishstyx (@phishstyx1) reported

    @JohnsonKaren722 @intheheights @hbomax If you can’t “figure out how to see this”, you have bigger problems than trying to figure out how to see this.

  • azure_vox Anatomical Sales Associate (@azure_vox) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Samsung but 70% off might help. 👀

  • mmmkay68974888 PopulistRightUSA (@mmmkay68974888) reported

    @intheheights @hbomax looks awful.

  • kenaicraft Kenaicraft (@kenaicraft) reported

    @Roblox @intheheights @hbomax and it is not my internet because the other applications do work except roblox

  • Thelevyeffect Michael Levy (@Thelevyeffect) reported

    @hbomax Wow, reading through people comments the same issues is happening on every device. If I was the stock holders I would jump ship. Looks like the leadership is dogshit. A company that can't fix common, well known, issues. Whats the deal? Everyone still at home and not working?

  • Derdersh Otis Linkman (@Derdersh) reported

    @Troubl37 @hbomax @Troubl37 Starz app with their low quality streaming quality

  • Parkerevermore parker (@Parkerevermore) reported

    @hulu_support @HBOMaxHelp (2)as an example. so, problems in the hulu app. but i added the hbo max app and started watching hbo max shows there. this wasn't ideal as the player isn't as good as hulu. but, i decided it was fine. next, i started having trouble using the hbo max app.

  • goIdustharry taI (@goIdustharry) reported

    @hbomax can y’all fix your stupid website?? Every time I try and play a video when I open my laptop i have to legit log out and log back in, find the episode I’m on its so annoying 😭

  • vvw28 Vic💜 (@vvw28) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @cjrichmond15 Can you guys fix the ps4 app as well??

  • MarcoGa91056825 Marco Garcia (@MarcoGa91056825) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No it seems there is no English version. Only subtitles. Many people on Reddit have the same issue.

  • Parkerevermore parker (@Parkerevermore) reported

    @hulu_support @HBOMaxHelp (1)thanks for responding. i have ongoing trouble in the hulu app. only some of the hbo shows are available, either on the general interface, through a search or even when scrolling through something like 'series a-z.' ie: in hulu i can't watch Hacks... and other shows, but Hacks

    @Roblox @intheheights @hbomax Fix the moderation please 😐

  • RayGrange Ray Grange (@RayGrange) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp this has been happening with every show/movie I’ve watched on ps5. It doesn’t happen when my fiancée is watching HBO Max on her computer (we have the same login credentials) I’d guess it’s something with the actual ps5 app since I’ve seen similar complaints.
