HBO Max Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    @peacockTV is the worst app on the market I think? @hbomax is a close second though. From UI to technical hiccups. You'd think the companies with all the money would be able to hire enough tech support.

  • Smaoka Sandi (George) Claws 😻 (@Smaoka) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I downloaded the app and I have it on my phone and my iPad. I’ve been trying to put it on my television for months. The TV app finally came up, but it won’t let me sign in.

  • ColaEuphoria ColaEuphoria (@ColaEuphoria) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @TheRedPrairie Out of sync on HBO Max Android app 50.36.0.2 on Galaxy S20 FE 5G model SM-G781U Android version 11 with June 1 2021 security patch, although the issue is most likely on the server side since everyone is experiencing the same issue across devices.

  • Clydesdale1991 ClydeTheSupreme (@Clydesdale1991) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp please fix rush hour 2 audio, it isn't synced

  • mdexster ROCKETSURGEON (@mdexster) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Sorry I meant terrors not errors!

  • Lils3xiish0rtii SnowMarie❄ (@Lils3xiish0rtii) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I was using my phone and then I tried my roku then I tried my tablet and I contacted your help chat and they weren't able to help me which is why they refunded me

  • badbmamat Hunneybee (@badbmamat) reported

    @Megyver_ @RokuSupport @HBOMaxHelp I can use my laptop and my tablet but It's the app and the roku's problem really. I've had issues with my roku.. To the point that I closed Netflix then tried to reopen it and the whole roku said it was too big for the roku when it came with the damn device. This **** is trash

  • whatsxthexword RickyyyySpanissshhh (@whatsxthexword) reported

  • BiggLynch BANKS COTI OUT NOW (@BiggLynch) reported

    @caniwinaflip @hbomax So you started a poker game not to playing it but to run it but it would make money to help with the fire to that doesn’t make sense try again

    Hey @hbomax, please fix your PlayStation 5 app. I can’t watch one show without having to restart the app

  • mdexster ROCKETSURGEON (@mdexster) reported

    @AlyssaM_InfoSec @hbomax The UI is dark and full of errors!

  • tedturnerisaliv ted (@tedturnerisaliv) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Goodnees no that doesn't help /by the multitude of articles/tweets re the issue its a bigger issue than some simple troubleshooting. Literally had to troubleshoot using those steps just about anytime i want to use the app. Its horrendous. I've had to reinstall probably 50 times

  • enorsted Erik Norsted (@enorsted) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My son would be super excited about this news if your app still worked on our Samsung tv. Any info on when that issue will be fixed?

  • JeffReadOnly Jeff Rams (@JeffReadOnly) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I get that you are help staff just trying to assist where you can when people complain. I appreciate the attempt. But the app just needs to be written better for the system period. Just add me to the log of people who complained & hopefully the devs will improve it 1 day.

  • jarvismadison Jarvis Adison (@jarvismadison) reported

  • j_r_m9 @jrmaloney (@j_r_m9) reported

    @hbomax how do you turn off audio descriptions in the iPad app. Your instructions do not work.

  • tedturnerisaliv ted (@tedturnerisaliv) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Would be nice to watch if HBO would ever work for more than 5 minutes on a Samsung smart TV

  • Jemappelleamie Amy (@Jemappelleamie) reported

    @hbomax Constant sound problems, usually audio/ vid not synced, sometimes no audio.

  • generalbrandon2 General Brandon 🤔 (@generalbrandon2) reported

    Man @peacockTV is giving a big run of the money to @hbomax for worst streaming service.

  • laurendoes Lauren (@laurendoes) reported

    @hbomax I have been trying to put you on my television ever since I signed up a few months ago. I tried to call today to get help because it won’t work. was put on hold, nobody ever picked up.

  • badbmamat Hunneybee (@badbmamat) reported

    @Megyver_ @RokuSupport @HBOMaxHelp Really, support left me hanging so I'm probably just gonna trash the roku because it's just been issue after issue with this device
