  • dcauwatchtower Watchtower Database (@dcauwatchtower) reported

    @TroyMP94 @SchweitzerMan @hbomax You're not wrong. But at least it eliminates a lot of the problems.

  • RodanReviews Shin Rodan Reviews (@RodanReviews) reported

    @dcauwatchtower @Movieboy99 @hbomax I noticed that too and wonder what the hell? I hope they fix it soon

  • Karyn7878 Karyn (@Karyn7878) reported

    @hbomax This movie was TERRIBLE! All this hype for this bullshit? Whoever wrote the screenplay needs to refund everyone their money b

  • musatechnow Not So Magic Mike (@musatechnow) reported

    @hbomax OMG this movie is AWFUL. Just so boring and not funny. The most strained acting and monotonous storyline ever - and a dumb ending (that took way too long to get to). Try again @hbomax

  • PatriciaBDwyer Patricia B. Dwyer (@PatriciaBDwyer) reported

    Why does the UX of the @hbomax app have to be so awful? You deprecated everything else and got me here, and dang. Had me fooled with those slick gradients.

  • kelso839 Bill Davis’s History Of Rock’n’Roll (@kelso839) reported

    Hey, @hbomax Why does your app crash so much? Can’t just be me, right?

  • SechristLiz Liz Sechrist (@SechristLiz) reported

    @hbomax Since we were forced into using your awful app has there been any thought to adding continuous play through a series. Sesame Street comes to mind as I’m stuck at home with children. Id say @netflix has nailed the format. Shouldn’t be hard to duplicate. #crashandburn

  • noj_rrad Later Haters (@noj_rrad) reported

    @hbomax The movie was just awful. Nearly unwatchable.

  • AlexJFay Alex Fay (@AlexJFay) reported

    @hbomax This app is dogshit. UI is terrible. WTF?

  • samsjazz danisam 💋💄💅 (@samsjazz) reported

    @hbomax I just want to be able to watch anything and not have to stop it every 10 - 20 minutes and back out to the menu to fix it.

  • bluesburgh Brad Hoschar (@bluesburgh) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Can't connect to HBO Max on Nvidia Shield. Wiped everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, nothing. You having issues?

  • SamWamBama Sam Wam Bam (@SamWamBama) reported

    @hbomax why is @WonderWomanFilm so lagging on the platform? I tried it the day it came out, I am trying it today. The same thing. No other movies on this platform have this issue. What gives?

  • SchweitzerMan Andrew Schweitzer (@SchweitzerMan) reported

    @TroyMP94 @dcauwatchtower @hbomax It does work in Two-Face because in Part II you find out that he's been committing crime for a couple months. And when I saw that I thought, "How has Batman not caught him yet? World's greatest detective, my ***!"

    @GHOSTlN @PopCrave @hbomax Not the follow me HELP 😭😭😭 and not me doing the Same

    @Roku @hbomax not working wth?

  • sixohtew_ gregkobey (@sixohtew_) reported

    Dear @hbomax The contrast levels on #oceans13 are way too high.. I was binge watching the series and the first two played perfectly but the third has red faces and red tones I had to switch modes on my tv. no problem to me but a lot of people just don't know how to do this.

  • parkerstpaul andrew parker (@parkerstpaul) reported

    @tomgehrke @hbomax Damn dude, that is unfortunate. Obviously it’s a HBO issue?

  • GreggyC Al Stroker (@GreggyC) reported

    @106th @hbomax #FlightAttendant is simultaneously fun and frustrating as hell to watch someone make SO MANY terrible choices

  • MisterDarke Bipolar Bear (@MisterDarke) reported

    @hbomax Ya know what? I would love to see it but WW84 plays like crusty *** on Roku. The video is choppy and jumps around like crazy. Just terrible. Nothing on my end makes it better. I certainly hope you figure out whatever the problem is on your end before it stops streaming.

  • BillYanko Bill Yanko (@BillYanko) reported

    @hbomax No Twitter. Stop putting Gossip ******* my feed. Your analytical department is freaking awful if you think that this would interest me. wtf. This is my last rage tweet for 2021. Serenity now

  • Sa2vador Salvador (@Sa2vador) reported

    Hey @hbomax, what's up with the awful audio/subtitle options for Weathering With You? I try to select Spanish and it comes up Japanese dub with English subs on XB1. I check mobile, Spanish subtitles show but then the English subtitles as well regardless of Eng/*** dub.

  • KyleLSaunders Kyle Saunders (@KyleLSaunders) reported

    Hey @hbomax, your interface is awful. No auto play, none of the aspects of Netflix and Amazon that work so well. Search sucks and is slow. It’s almost like you’re discouraging people from watching, that’s how badly it’s set up. Cc: @HBO.

  • samsjazz danisam 💋💄💅 (@samsjazz) reported

    @hbomax I've had this issue on every movie for over a week now. The movie plays fine and then all of a sudden the audio is out of wack. I've reset router, reset phone watched on app and on tv. Nothing is working and it's getting really annoying. Help.

  • eric_fellner Eric Fellner (@eric_fellner) reported

    @SuperSevenFive @dcauwatchtower @hbomax Disney+ had the same problem with Spider-man TAS.

  • SamWamBama Sam Wam Bam (@SamWamBama) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hey! I’m trying to stream Wonder Woman 1984, and there is a lag present. I tried to stream it the first day it came out with the same outcome. I don’t have problems with any other movies or shows on the platform.

  • ZMYaro Zachary Yaro (@ZMYaro) reported

    Dear @HBOMax, please either make your app stream with less stuttering or let me pre-download movies to my Android TV so I don't have to worry about this constant buffering. I didn't have this problem with Hulu, YouTube, or online gaming, so I am inclined to blame your app 😬

  • david_darmofal David Darmofal (@david_darmofal) reported

    @KyleLSaunders @hbomax @HBO Yesterday I got oops, won't play or whatever that error message is, 5 times while trying to watch an episode of The West Wing.

  • SquirrelJohnson Sqwid (@SquirrelJohnson) reported

    @hbomax Perfect! Now just fix the buffering issue.

  • tomgehrke Tom Gehrke 😷 (@tomgehrke) reported

    @parkerstpaul @hbomax I rebooted the TV (TCL 6 Series w/Roku) to start fresh because the movie wouldn't start at all originally. Then the jerking. Then watched Soul in 4K/HDR on the same network/TV. Definitely feeling it's an HBO issue.

  • AzKELLYcom AzKELLYcom (@AzKELLYcom) reported

    @jimcramer @hbomax is the most expensive App and the worst to use.
