    @HBOMaxHelp To all the whiners: grow up. It’s ridiculous that this outage draws more outcry than other global headlines. Be prepared to NOT get a reimbursement or free month. This is a young service with a lot of room to improve. Accept that or stop using the service.

  • LadyNichet LadyNichet (@LadyNichet) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @rvapaul You could help by fixing this trash app. As much money as people pay, it should work and not crash every few hours.

  • ecphammontree Elizabeth Hammontree (@ecphammontree) reported

    @hbomax Please sort this “unknown error” situation, I need to know who the murderer is

  • brndnxwllms sir brandon antony (@brndnxwllms) reported

    @MaybeMorque @hbomax today’s biggest issue is having to close/reopen after i rewind a few seconds. it just stops playing.

  • BenRyba1 Aby R Neb (@BenRyba1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Gomorrah s4 ep 7 no subtitles showing up! Help!

  • ClassicMP Classic Movies 🎞 (@ClassicMP) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I did all of these things last night, but clearly the problem was on your side. Whatever you did to get running again, thanks. Hope your tech staff didn’t get too stressed out. We did.

    @HBOMaxHelp @PalestraGirl Still not working on ROKU

  • johnAoverstreet John Overstreet (@johnAoverstreet) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thank for getting back to the next day. Y’all were no help.

  • Crossdive1 Off The Cut Reviews (@Crossdive1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxHelp I’m still having app issues over here. I keep trying to watch #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague Part II, but I can’t find it. When will you guys #RestoreTheSnyderVerse ? Thanks.

  • faircher Cherie Clark 😷 (@faircher) reported from Durham, North Carolina

    @HBOMaxHelp Yeah, we tried that a few times. It’s fine today. I saw so many complaints on Twitter last night, all at the same time, so I doubt anything we could’ve done would have fixed the problem. Thanks for replying, though.

  • cateyz98 Catey (@cateyz98) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I need help.

  • Clintonrmiller Clint Miller (@Clintonrmiller) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Are there server issues happening right now? I'm having issues streaming #HBOMax but my other services seem to be running fine.

  • SpicyThaiS Thaise Saucier (@SpicyThaiS) reported

    @thadogburn @hbomax Still broken for me. Was broke for me one day last week too. 😒

  • TimothyELewis Coast-to-Coast Tim (@TimothyELewis) reported

    @MMA_CULT @hbomax They have a lot of good content but the app malfunctions every time I use it. Just stops playing shows and gives an error code. Have to restart the app to fix it. And I’m not the only one.

  • m_sterling Michael Sterling (@m_sterling) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp When are you going to fix the English subtitle issue for Gomorrah, Season 4, Episode 7? I have tried on every device and cannot get English subtitles on any of them and that episode actually crashes the app on Apple TV.

  • gabmusic_ Gabe Pineda 📌 STREAM HINTO (@gabmusic_) reported

    i recently watched @hbomax's FRIENDS reunion, and there was a part where the producers said, they wanted to cast artists who weren't famous to avoid it being the rachel show or the monica show. i can't help but be jealous, and think about the what ifs, what if ganon din dito?

  • lapetitecrohnie Estefanía (@lapetitecrohnie) reported

    Still can’t use @hbomax since last night’s crash. Insanely overpriced garbage app.

  • JFormo Jeremy Formo (@JFormo) reported

    @hbomax hey why am i unable to use your app on Roku? it continuously errors when loading into the home screen after selecting my profile and tells me to reload the app.. 😢

  • craigpatik Craig Patik (@craigpatik) reported

    @engineering_bae I'm trying to rewatch The West Wing and @hbomax hits significant lag once per episode on my Apple TV. Back in the Go days it was the most resilient streamer, now it's among the worst.

  • tormentedcactus Agent Yellow Snow (@tormentedcactus) reported from Beaumont, California

    @hbomax why doesn’t your stupid app work I just spent 10 minutes fast forwarding through a movie I was watching earlier that the app lost my place when I left. Finally get back to my spot and hit play and it starts at where I was before I hit play Fix your ****

  • tim_kenney Thimk (@tim_kenney) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No. It does not help. I have a very fast connection on my wi-fi. The problem is your app design. No other streaming service has the problems you have and you know it. Slow response or no response to controls. Freezing and crashing when fast forwarding or reverse forex.

  • itskevin Kevin Stopa-Mohler (@itskevin) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp This is still happening. It’s just on Mare. All other shows/movies play fine. Reinstalled app. Didn’t help. Fine on iPhone and iPad. It’s just on Apple TV.

  • B4NE_CLAN B4ПΣ_ᄃᄂΛП (@B4NE_CLAN) reported

    @hbomax #HBOMaxdown fix your service!!!! Down for almost 3 days and still paying for it! Guess my bank account should give you an oops message when you want that monthly...

  • the_shadow_dmk The Shadow (@the_shadow_dmk) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Too bad your service couldn't handle the traffic. Most expensive streaming service but terrible reliability!

  • chh__bop lil snack (@chh__bop) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve removed and readded the channel on Roku and still not working since last night

  • MomPerinyon MsElaneous to you (@MomPerinyon) reported

    @Havertsupremacy @Variety The movie is amusing, long and imo rates a 7. My issue is with @hbomax charging me 29.00 to watch it! #DisgracefulHBOMAX

  • lynnbruni Lynn Bruni-Perkins (@lynnbruni) reported

    @danjrosenbaum @hbomax Thankfully we had no issues!

  • scbennett scb (@scbennett) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp This happened last night and it was an outage on your side since everyone in the country was complaining about it. Thanks for the late response ans the useless suggestion. Fix your app!! This was entirely your fault.
