Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WilloSF WilloVision (@WilloSF) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp “Certain issues?” Are you kidding us? It’s like saying Kennedy had “certain issues” on his tour of Dallas.

  • madhans Madhan Sivakumar (@madhans) reported

    @gruber @mgsiegler Worst part is that we still don’t have @hbomax app on all tv platforms like LG which forces us to turn on Apple TV ..

  • patnarav Ravdawg Millionaire (@patnarav) reported

    Dear @hbomax love the content but your app is very buggy. Movies freeze repeatedly. The app requires repeat reinstalls to work. Please fix!

  • GlitteryFab GlitteryFab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@GlitteryFab) reported

    Can’t get #conjuring3 to play on @hbomax , is anyone else having this problem

  • actuallysoftAF Marisa but yeehaw again. 🤠🐔🥃 (@actuallysoftAF) reported

    @ashleyreedsalot @hbomax I feel like Jeremy would do all the work and not complain once The other two would definitely make you do work and I am lazy #WynonnaEarp #BringWynonnaHome

  • guiyumin Yumin Gui (@guiyumin) reported

    For God's sake, can @hbomax hire some legit engineers to fix its bugs?

  • SpeedBird_9 @speedbird9 (@SpeedBird_9) reported

    @hbomax Any chance you’re going to improve the #apple #Tvos app? Your latest ‘update’ appears to be full of bugs. Video quality definitely down. And I know, I’m not the only person complaining of this.

  • abeezybro abeezy/ 你 你 你 (@abeezybro) reported

    @lowkey_jimenez @hbomax Agreed. I'm always closing in and out of the app just to get it to work. Unnecessary fixes smh.

  • sri_rain Sri Rain Stewart (@sri_rain) reported

    @alexfirth21 @hbomax Hbo Max is not working for me today. And I have android lmao

  • pandaluxe BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER (@pandaluxe) reported

    @hbomax please fix your Apple TV app!!! The remote scrolling glitch is maddening!

  • keithnickas Keith Nickas (@keithnickas) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @WilloSF Yeah, certain issues doesn’t cut it. This should never been signed-off by product. If I had managed this project it would have never made it out without meeting existing user experience, it should have only added value not break the entire user experience. #EpicHBOFail

  • Beejers2 Beejers (@Beejers2) reported

    Wow @hbomax, thanks for ******* up my preferred choice of viewing you programs on @appletv. My Apple remote is completely unusable now. I really don’t want to unsubscribe so please ******* fix this.

  • MyLife4Me79 Survivor Always (@MyLife4Me79) reported

    @hbomax can we please fix the app so it’s not constantly freezing and stalling while we try to watch? We have a shield and a shield pro and 2 different TVs and this is the only app that works this badly.

  • ashutoshms Āshutosh Sharma (@ashutoshms) reported

    @adamnash @hbomax Well, to work out such a nuanced interaction then one has to watch on TV and then share from a smartphone. Not very likely. Or a dedicated button next to say Like/Dislike button on Netflix asking “Want to share what you are watching?” Click & then choose folks to share with. 🤔

  • lowkey_jimenez Oserg Jimladen (@lowkey_jimenez) reported

    @abeezybro @hbomax It was great before, i also have issues with audio. At times I have to restart my Apple TV because it won’t play sound until I do

  • BrandonMUtley30 Brandon (@BrandonMUtley30) reported

    Yo WTF! @hbomax i want to watch the conjuring and its not working. Get your **** together!

  • Lascurettes Sounds like Last Regrets (@Lascurettes) reported

    @hbomax what the hell did you do to the AppleTV app? It’s absolutely unusable now when trying to scrub forward or back in amy kind of controlled way. Congrats. You made the absolute worst app on the platform actually even worse.

  • HotRodd01 Hot Rodd (@HotRodd01) reported

    @intheheights @hbomax No one has any idea what this film is about. If the trailer can not tell you- you are in big trouble

  • joshfofer Josh Fofer (@joshfofer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @mgsiegler The update is a dumpster fire, makes your service unusable. Revert please.

  • TechAndMR Christian Super (@TechAndMR) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Another dissatisfied customer. Your new app - using your proprietary video player - doesn't play any video AT ALL on my new AppleTV 4K. Please fix this mess.

  • TheMirrorKool Dmitris Jones (@TheMirrorKool) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'm having issues with your app working on ps5 and Roku.. it is continually crashing.

  • sun_drona #######Ⓥ (@sun_drona) reported

    @hbomax getting error code 905 on the latest @RealTimers

  • ClemsonAsh06 Ashley (@ClemsonAsh06) reported

    @FiddlerForest @hbomax Nothing at all will play on Roku app. Apparently all are having issues from what I’m seeing. Been 2 or 3 days for me.

  • KnollNathaniel Nate Dogg (@KnollNathaniel) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax I can stream hbo on my phone fine. I can not cast any of the theater released movies from my phone onto the TV. I dont watch movies or TV shows on my phone, but it does work.

  • ThghtIVThght ThoughtIVThought (@ThghtIVThght) reported

    @hbomax are you planning to issue refunds? Service has been down for days.

  • Nest_95 NestorEspina (@Nest_95) reported

    As usual the app doesn't work first day of something new in the app. In this case is The Conjuring on the Xbox Series X app. @HBOMaxHelp

  • KnollNathaniel Nate Dogg (@KnollNathaniel) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax Mortal kombat never worked. Tried countless troubleshooting. Mildly interested in the movie. Very interested in the conjuring 3 but same problems. To illustrate how buggy your platform is, im currently stream ww84 which has all the same technical specifications perfectly fine

  • Lonnie_James Lonnie James (@Lonnie_James) reported

    The new @hbomax update has made it even worse. This streaming service is about as bad as Disney's. They obviously don't give a **** about quality of service... Because this service has so many errors and is super glitchy and slow.

  • FiddlerForest Fiddler Forest (@FiddlerForest) reported

    @ClemsonAsh06 @hbomax Same with this error. Latest update went from a slow player with few glitches to a slower app with constant glitches.

  • mslaceyloo Lacey White (@mslaceyloo) reported

    Hey @hbomax I'm trying to watch @TheConjuring and it's not working 😭😭😭
