    Hi @hbomax How does your searching work on @GoogleTv ? I searched UFO I get one result & it's a weird cartoon. I searched Aliens, I found almost no alien movies; Boardwalk Empire was one of the results... Your algorithm is terrible! Is it keyword, title, subject, description etc?

  • Carmen50 JustCarmen (@Carmen50) reported

    @hbomax has to have one of the worst user interfaces in streaming services. User experience experts are a thing, HBO. oh, and @AppleTV you're a close runner up.

  • DoodleDearest1 Doodle Dearest (@DoodleDearest1) reported

    @Vitoracosta7 @YJWiki @hbomax He died in season 3, so I don’t know how they’ll work this, we literally saw his head chopped off

  • MZCLASSY82 ✨CHAY✨ (@MZCLASSY82) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi, I’m using my SmartTV and it’s always freezing. Or I’m getting an “error” message. I rebooted the TV twice but the problem is the same even after rebooting.

  • ojbarreauthor OJ Barré (Olivia) writes Epic Urban Fantasy🇺🇦 (@ojbarreauthor) reported

    @contentcatnip Fairly awful. Eating crap. Bingeing @hbomax #satc. Hiding from the world... and from my WIP...

  • renatiux99 Renatiux 🇵🇪🇺🇸 #BLM (@renatiux99) reported

    Great! Now that I can finally seat and watch something the #HBOMax app on my #AppleTV does not work. It was working yesterday. So, what did you do @hbomax ? Your latest update obviously does not work 🤬

  • Monster_Ventura Monster_Ventura (@Monster_Ventura) reported

    @javvfernandez Okay @hbomax what’s going with this audio problem. Annoying af bro cmon

  • cavyherd Cavyherd (@cavyherd) reported

    Yo, @hbomax, why do I get this error EVERY time I try to connect? Service Code: S-ef1ee218-063f-4ad7-904a-6805debf5959-9a25f6a8-f462-4fdf-be7f-6739037c1245 I can get past it by reloading, but why? Every. Damn. Time? (Yes, I've cleared my cache. Doesn't help.)

  • calbiyum calbiyum.sol (@calbiyum) reported

    Why does @hbomax always have connection problems. Literally everything works fine but every device I use this on its always either slow or says it cant connect

  • cavyherd Cavyherd (@cavyherd) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp This is on a fully up-to-date MacBook Pro in (as far as I know) fully up-to-date Chrome. I looked at the help page, but none of the suggested solutions seem to apply?

  • Ruby_kunt Robby ✖️ (@Ruby_kunt) reported

    . @hbomax is terrible. How can it cause my iPad to crash and also my MacBook. Pick a struggle

  • XxD3TROITN3LLxX 😎💰BALL IS LIFE🏀💯 (@XxD3TROITN3LLxX) reported

    I got a feeling I’m going to unsubscribe from @hbomax if they don’t fix their audio issues soon

  • 3danton Daniel (@3danton) reported

    @LGUS the lg store on my OLED is down for like 3 days now... since the day I should be able to enjoy the new @hbomax. Are you planning to fix it any time soon? This is getting a bit ridicolus...

  • hollywoodjada Glen CoCo (@hollywoodjada) reported

    They’re airing @Degrassi and #Bridgerton on the same day @netflix @hbomax gonna have to run me a check because I’m calling off of work

  • ValientSortel ⚡ Voltron ⚡ (@ValientSortel) reported

    @SamsungSupport I had to factory reset my TVs and turn off the auto update because the HBO MAX app update on 3/3/2022 was not working. I would like to eventually update my TV again so I don't know if you can help me with this or if its @HBOMaxHelp

  • PlotkinJoel ☮️ Joel Plotkin (@PlotkinJoel) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Both my Roku Premiere+, model 4630x firmware, as well as HBO Max app’s firmware are current. The problem is *not* with my home theater components. We have had these components for years. Since the last HBO Max app’s update, which occurred yesterday, is when this problem began.

  • S3V3NNDS1NN S3V3NN D S1NN (@S3V3NNDS1NN) reported

    @hbomax Is there a way to just use my Hulu account to sign in vs having 2 different apps? I had Hulu long before hbo and didn't know I could get hbo through Hulu. I don't want to lose my stuff.

  • adriannilsen93 Adrian (@adriannilsen93) reported

    @hbomax I regularly have problem casting. At work I get reverse casting (black on the screen while playing on the pad) and it doesn't find the TV at my grandparents. Would also like to be able to control by notification bar when I cast from my phone.

  • adriannilsen93 Adrian (@adriannilsen93) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'll try restarting the device and reinstall the app next time I'm there. It shouldn't be necessary to try another device. Is notification bar controller already a feature, and I should restart and reinstall for it to work? Or is it a potential future feature?

  • jamowarp jamowarp (@jamowarp) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp been having issues playing hbo max on my LG webOS tv after I recently restarted my subscription. I changed my password, logged out and back in, deleted the app and reinstalled, nothing works. Whatever I’m watching will play for a few minutes with 0 issues.

  • ResBoyIntl Topher Lee (@ResBoyIntl) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yeah. That fixes absolutely nothing. Sent a message. Don’t blame my ISP. I have gig fiber and others have the same problem.

  • Carmen50 JustCarmen (@Carmen50) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp You could fix it.

  • BearAboutTown2 Bear About Town ✈️ Austin 4/14 (@BearAboutTown2) reported

    I'm watching #F9 on @hbomax and the smoothing they did on Vin Diesel's face is some of the worst CGI I've seen in a while. He looks like he's doing a Deepfake of himself.

  • Lucifer2165 Lucifer2165 (@Lucifer2165) reported

    @AustinD56284814 @hbomax You've got issues

  • amtravnlyf a (@amtravnlyf) reported

    @hbomax fix your app for samsung tv. It keeps stopping while watching a movie, then won't even go back to the main menu.I had to turn off my tv coz it hangs. I don't have this problem with other streaming apps.

  • silverindow Jesse (@silverindow) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks for the response but it’s been a huge deal that took 3 weeks to resolve the last time. The help desk techs just gave up and gave me a temp account which I guess ran out after 90 days. I might try again later with HBO but it’s very frustrating and I’ll probably just cancel

  • 8bitjer Jeremy (@8bitjer) reported

    Hey @hbomax, what’s the point of downloading content for a plane ride, if your app doesn’t recognize you’re in airplane mode and never loads… please fix this.

  • KiwiBrit70 Michelle Rooney (@KiwiBrit70) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp can’t get my app to work on my Apple TV device. Kicks me out every time but still works on my iPhone. Help??!!

  • dominicmann_jpg DOMINIC MANN.PHOTO (@dominicmann_jpg) reported

    Hey, @hbomax! We’re experiencing issues with the app on Xbox Series X. Internet connectivity/speed has no issues, other streaming apps having no issues. Any recommendations?

  • bloosusan Susan the ☕️ 🦝 (@bloosusan) reported

    Real talk: Why doesn’t @Maisie_Williams get more work? She’s sooooooo good! Go watch ‘Two Weeks To Live’ on @hbomax. My point will be proven immediately.
