  • ZayBooth Jose Booth (@ZayBooth) reported

    All I wanted to do today was repot my plants and watch some @hbomax movies on my off day! WTF CANT I GET HBO MAX TO WORK FOR ME?!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!!!!??!??!?!?!

  • michaelaye Dr. K.-Michael Aye (@michaelaye) reported

    @sansmalarkey @hbomax If that were true, the video wouldn’t even start, right? But it starts and then freezes. On top of that other shows did work. And then even weirder, a reinstall of the app solved the issue.

  • hoyleryan Ryan "Catteboi Afficionado" Hoyle (@hoyleryan) reported

    @justkibawalker @LordAzria @hbomax I need to check mine when I get home to see if I'm having the same problem.

  • devinslaney90 Devin Slaney (@devinslaney90) reported

    Anyone else having trouble playing the mortal kombat movie on @hbomax

  • Scarecrow339 Adam B. (@Scarecrow339) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Can you please fix your app. On Xbox the “can’t play this title” has popped up 3 times in 5 minutes while watching #MortalKombatMovie and this pops up while playing other titles as well. It needs to be fixed.

  • FlashSZN_ XEraFlashy⚡️ (@FlashSZN_) reported

    @thatsoalykat @hbomax For some odd reason, it doesn’t work for me. Pops up a black screen

  • just_uhhhh Just a dude who likes football and games. (@just_uhhhh) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp nothing like trying to watch Mortal Kombat on my Xbox one and it buffers every 15-20 seconds. SMH only hbo Max does this too. All other streaming platforms work without needing to buffer fix this it’s ruining my movie experience

  • just_uhhhh Just a dude who likes football and games. (@just_uhhhh) reported

    @hbomax If only we could watch it without experiencing buffering every 15-20 seconds smh. Only @hbomax does this! My Netflix, Hulu and Amazon prime DO NOT buffer EVER

  • SweetestJones 🟣 Sweetestjones (@SweetestJones) reported

    @hbomax Yooooooo fix this error 420 code BS!! Like what are y'all doing!? Thanks Mgmt

  • amirmowins Amir Mo (@amirmowins) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Sent a DM. Main problem is the HBO Max file size is now too big to install again on my Samsung TV. Wiped the storage clean but still don't have space for it.

  • hoyleryan Ryan "Catteboi Afficionado" Hoyle (@hoyleryan) reported

    @justkibawalker @LordAzria @hbomax But I also feel like when I was trying to figure out the weird buffering issue I ran into a -lot- of people complaining about the app...

  • borielmaliante Dj Bori “El Maliante” (@borielmaliante) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @punkpenciler25 @hbomax Having that same issue! Tried watching on my iPad & it won’t even play.

  • Jones_BrandonC The Duke of Ad Libs (@Jones_BrandonC) reported

    @hbomax please fix your aspect ratio for your movies to 4:3 please!

  • PsychoticSidkik Psychotic Sidekick (@PsychoticSidkik) reported

    @freethinker871 @hbomax @jasonkilar yeah, cuz that’s gonna help. i have no respect for people like you, doing exactly what zack told us NOT to do.

  • scottowentattoo Scott owen (@scottowentattoo) reported

    @freethinker871 @hbomax @jasonkilar We as customers should not have to keep a product we do not want in a vague hope they will give us what we do want. That isn't how it should work at all.

  • Torrey187 Torrey Easton (@Torrey187) reported

    @DenzelFrance @HBOMaxHelp I’m getting the exact same issue.

  • 87Superman DukeLife (@87Superman) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp trying to watch mortal kombat on my TV but shows black screen (has sound). Every other show works fine and it works on my phone but I want to enjoy it on a 65" screen. It did this when I tried to play the Tom and Jerry movie for my kid when it came out. Please help

  • JoshBoyd34 Josh Boyd (@JoshBoyd34) reported

    @MKMovie Plot, dialog, and special effects are not just bad, they're terrible. Some of the fight scenes are good. I definitely wouldn't pay extra money to see it. Overall it was a complete waste of a remake. @hbomax #MortalKombatMovie

  • jusdel_ Delvon (@jusdel_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’ve done all of that. Stop telling everyone the samething. This is a problem on YOUR end.

  • treypotter10 trey potter (@treypotter10) reported

    @hbomax Totally wish your app would work so I could watch this

  • JGoods216 John (@JGoods216) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi - Mortal Kombat streaming not working on Roku TV or AirPlay, and is also not working with Chromecast via ATT TV box. How can I watch??

  • amirmowins Amir Mo (@amirmowins) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My Samsung TV and Amazon Firestick. Every time I logged on there was an error code. So I tried deleting and re-installing on the Samsung TV but now the file size is too large and I can't download. I even tried deleting all the apps to clear space.

  • ant0nyoyo antonyo (@ant0nyoyo) reported

    @hbomax hello!! fix the connecting issue!!! wtf!

  • agendadebonaire Hot Sexy Ratchet God Warrior (@agendadebonaire) reported

    Saw @hbomax trending and thought it was because they fixed the problem of the white line on the side of Samsung tv screens. It wasn't. They haven't.

  • jusdel_ Delvon (@jusdel_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Cant smartcast to the tv. Please fix this. It’s a lot of other people with casting issues strictly for this movie.

  • Aionux DevinHolmesTattoos (@Aionux) reported

    @hbomax mortal kombat won’t play we just get an error code 420

  • GinjaBrad GinjaBrad (@GinjaBrad) reported

    @hbomax Dolby vision is completely broken on Xbox just so you know. Fix asap read my reddit posts.

  • lilination99 Lidia G (@lilination99) reported

    @hbomax Unable to cast movies - service error message. Customer support not much help. Restarted everything.. Router/phone/tv/gateway. Un/Re-installed app. Restarted gateway. I've had this problem a couple times, what else can be done?

  • witchofletters NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE (@witchofletters) reported

    @hbomax Watching Friends (again) and I gotta say, the subtitles are atrocious. Between the instances of occasionally completely incorrect transcription as well as grammar, spelling and punctuation issues, people who are deaf and hard of hearing are watching a different show.

  • thatsoalykat Thatsoalykat 💫 (@thatsoalykat) reported

    @FlashSZN_ @hbomax Yea @empressnoir has the same problem we don't know why
