    @HBOMaxHelp Samsung smart tv . The video freezes, the app lags and then there’s a playback error a few minutes into every video

  • BlueCapitalLLC Blue Capital, LLC (@BlueCapitalLLC) reported

    @hbomax is almost as useless as (awful production company) @netflix. Watching paint dry is more enjoyable than the movies available. Also, your app sucks! Time to cancel!

  • Sadiesniece Brenda🎅🏻 (@Sadiesniece) reported

    @AndJustLikeThat @hbomax You've ruined the legacy of the original series. This reboot was a mistake and it's awful.

  • EventHorizon618 YOUR EVENT HORIZON (@EventHorizon618) reported

    Yo @hbomax your app is atrocious. I have zero issues with Prime or Netflix but no matter what i do there is not a single thing that can be watched on your trash *** app no matter how long you pause it. Idk how tf you’re in business.

  • Zazochi Gin (@Zazochi) reported

    @tllanes @hbomax They give the worst interface experience. Hard to find shows. Hard to find episodes. Hard to set record. Googling episode dates so I can go to the @hbomax app and TRY and find the show. Amongst other things.

  • Demifan2015_ Joe Retondo (@Demifan2015_) reported from Chicago, Illinois

  • Countrygirltip 🐝/Fineassgirls/rihnavy/bardi/Dreamville/ImWitKap (@Countrygirltip) reported

    @hbomax @insecurehbo “Maybe it really smells, maybe it’s dry as hell, broken *****… @IssaRaePresents Im definitely gonna kiss this show…

  • _x_r_c_ x r c (@_x_r_c_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Oh I have no problem finding it myself, but the thing is what if people DON'T know about Jean Smart's supremacy already; why is this show getting pushed behind half-season experiments from 2006 is all

  • ladynymeria ferris ‎✵‎ ✪ andrew garfield warrior (@ladynymeria) reported

    i always have to reboot my tv to get it to work properly I shouldn’t have to do that every time @hbomax !!!!!!

  • VileFromThe609 ᴛʜᴇ609ɴɪɴᴊᴀ - 𝕍𝕚𝕝𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔹𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕄𝕒𝕘𝕖 (@VileFromThe609) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still a problem.

  • R_Aedes Arq (@R_Aedes) reported from Puerto Vallarta, Estado de Jalisco

    @hbomax the app has a week at least crashing!! It’s not working and the payment still goes on!! Where’s the costumer support?

  • therobsoto Rob44Lewis (@therobsoto) reported

    @hbomax Hey guys, your app keeps freezing on the Roku premier after a show is on pause for more than a few minutes. Hit play and it goes to a black screen. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Issue persists. #HBOMax

  • chychychy Lacking Shyness (@chychychy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks! It’s a Sharp brand Roku Smart TV. Usually the problem is that the picture freezes and the sound keeps going, either while we are just watching or when we try to rewind 10-20s. We ultimately need to shut the whole device down and log back in to the HBO Max app to continue.

  • PelhamRobert Robert Pelham (@PelhamRobert) reported

    @hbomax Maybe fix the damn Xbox app so people can actually use it

  • SaraBee418 Sara Barnett (@SaraBee418) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Samsung Amazon TV - and either no error message or a restart message

  • Farayal1185 Kay (@Farayal1185) reported

    @hbomax is not working and it's annoying AF

  • runkevincc Kevin Alessandro (@runkevincc) reported

    I've had @hbomax for months but I've never actually watched anything on there. Always a playback failed error. Anyone else?

  • Rico_Alto ET (@Rico_Alto) reported

    @hbomax why is your streaming service the absolute worst? Almost unusable at this point

  • njrappa Michael Rappa (@njrappa) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It is none of that. Every device has the same problem. This is a communication issue between your network and @YouTubeTV. You need to get together with YouTubeTV and figure out why my subscription through them is expiring every few days, forcing me to re-validate it constantly.

  • everythingadri_ AA. (@everythingadri_) reported

    Fix your website & app thx @hbomax

  • tru627 Nikki (@tru627) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My 4K Amazon fire stick, but I am not the only person who experiences this issue. The app lags tremendously. It’s not fluid! Y’all have to figure this out!

  • SaraBee418 Sara Barnett (@SaraBee418) reported

    @hbomax the app has been crashing consistently lately- what’s the fix?
