    Came downstairs to discover that my six year old has figured out how to use the remote to help himself to Curious George. I’m going to need some help before he figures out how to help himself to the @hbomax lineup.

    @hbomax your app is absolute dogshit. Constant crashes and buffering. All my other streaming apps work brilliantly. Sony, appletv doesn’t matter. Constant restarts. Miserable

  • krbisme05 Defender of Democracy (@krbisme05) reported

    @hbomax @Complex No it’s not! Same despicable, unredeemable characters along with broken dialog. Bye!

  • bobmcgee00123 Bobby McGee (@bobmcgee00123) reported

  • MatthewSpurr5 Matthew Spurr (@MatthewSpurr5) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @bean_foot @HBOMaxHelp this is not an issue with anyone’s device or even with HBO systems, but rather it’s the version of the dub you are using. Sounds like characters are talking into a fan. if it’s possible to fix the source audio by remastering it or something, can you?

  • lizeileen Elizabeth (@lizeileen) reported

    @hbomax my default is subtitles on. Why in the world, every single episode I start of His Dark Materials, is that functionality broken and I need to literally turn it off and back on again. It's 2023. Do better.

    @hbomax is the shittiest app on planet earth. It won't run on my phone. Trying to watch it on my tv it freezes in the middle of anything I try to watch. It's too expensive for as crappy as it is. Their janky servers, cobbled together by the most overworked Chinese kids,

  • IaninPhily IaninPhilly (@IaninPhily) reported
