  • darrenmhymel Darren (@darrenmhymel) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Wish I could actually watch it.. your app keeps lagging and no sound. Seems to be a common issue based on the rest of the replies.

  • tudorbeste TudorBeste (@tudorbeste) reported

    @mcculloughjeff @HBOMaxHelp Have the same problem even with the latest Apple TV 4K. Seems an issue with HBO app. On Chromecast, Dolby Vision works, but not Atmos.

  • radiohouston Houston 🏳️‍🌈 (@radiohouston) reported

    Hey @hbomax your “updated” app just completely froze my @appletv. Fix this!

  • KittieLexx 🎮🐱Gamer Kittie🐱🎮 (@KittieLexx) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp please fix this ****** update. I can't stream at all.

  • GryphJd Justin Dupree (@GryphJd) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp nothing specific to an HBO Mac subscription is accessible right now via ROKU or iPhone. Conjuring, Hacks, both just loop to the thumbnail on ROKU. On iPhone, says select “All of HBO Max” before it’ll play but that button doesn’t work. Not happy.

  • jennkaylovestay Jennpagne Problems 🥂 (@jennkaylovestay) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It’s just a black screen when I try to watch. I can stream anything else with no issues. So much for movie night.

  • JADEDTXCHICK Marty Stotler (@JADEDTXCHICK) reported

    @here4newsupdate @hbomax Same problem for the last 3 hours!! @hbomax

  • Gogita George Kometiani (@Gogita) reported

    @hbomax what the hell did you do to the player on Apple TV? It’s unusable. Roll-back please, this is insane. Only play/pause works.

  • ladyguenivere Gwen (@ladyguenivere) reported

    Ugh the @hbomax app SUUUUCKS on #appletv. Rewinding and Fast-forwarding doesn’t work at. All. Cannot just go back/ahead 10 seconds. And skipping to the next episode? Nope.

  • darrenmhymel Darren (@darrenmhymel) reported

    @shay1uh @HBOMaxHelp Same issue. The titles that are in 4K are not working. Going through my xfinity box to an LG 4K tv.
