    @hbomax only HBO content is streaming. TV shows and movies. The hubs don’t load. DC,Cartoon Network nothing. If it’s HBO though it won’t load. So it’s not HBO Max it’s just HBO why is that? I want a reply from @hbomax not the help center.

    @hbomax @gossipgirl This looks god awful

  • AleccBracero Alecc Bracero (@AleccBracero) reported

    @hbomax is one of the worst running apps I’ve ever. The fast-forwarding/rewinding doesn’t stop even if I hit play multiple times. With shows like Gomorrah, it automatically plays with an English dub vs the original Italian audio I selected to begin with. Constant struggles.

  • FrankAmico1 Frank Amico (@FrankAmico1) reported

    @hbomax I FIND IT REALLY UPSETTING THAT I HAVE TO SIT RIGHT SO CLOSE TO MY PC JUST TO HEAR HBO MAX. I CALLED MY CABLE PROVIDER THEY SAY IT IS AN HBO MAX ISSUE. I CALLED HBO MAX AND THEY TELL ME TO GO BUY HEADPHONES. EVERYTHING ELSE I PLAY ON YOUTUBE OR SOCAIL MEDIA SOUNDS FINE.

  • JoeAmerica9 Joe America (@JoeAmerica9) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp I have sent a DM to the HBOMax Help Twitter. Have not received a response.

  • jj4leafclova Justin D. (@jj4leafclova) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Play button is not letting it play. Same with other shows/movies. This has been going on with other movies for a few days now. Thought it would resolve itself by now. Using a Roku TV. I have already removed the HBOmax channel and re-added it but the problem persists.

  • km_griese Katey Griese (@km_griese) reported

    @Xfinity @hbomax why won’t my hbo max work??? Every time I get into the app I hit to watch the movie and it takes me back to the main screen. I even try through on demand and it’s the same. #fixthis #HBOMax

    Yo, @HBOMaxHelp Why does your PS4 app keep messing up? Can't go more than 11 minutes without getting an error and have to restart the damn thing.
