  • thecheesethe5th eileen burns (@thecheesethe5th) reported

    @hbomax what is the problem with language that you guys have? One time all the shows were broadcasting in Swedish and now they are broadcasting in Spanish and there is no way to get it back to English.

  • JasonAMaurer Jason A.M. (@JasonAMaurer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why.. NONE of your touble shooting works. Yall need to read the room. Have yiu seen the mile long complaints on your app store? Fix the ****** app. No other app ever has problems....

  • OvertonGaslight Overton’s Razor (@OvertonGaslight) reported

    @hbomax Trying to watch the rehearsal but keep getting play back failed error code 2f071bc1-3217-4e16-9a1d-2e3319e0babb

  • levin86 Chris Smith (@levin86) reported

    @NormDeGuerre9 @HBODocs @hbomax Without property rights it is impossible to accumulate capital, the functional problem with anarcho capitalism

  • kingcutie Patrick Tillmann (@kingcutie) reported from Evanston, Illinois

    @beevonerd @hbomax Same problem.

  • AleccBracero Alecc Bracero 🇵🇷 (@AleccBracero) reported

    @8traxrule @HBOMaxHelp @jephilip This. Goddamn app skipped to next episode BEFORE end credits even started to roll. Legit before two more scenes have even come up. And don’t ask what show I was watching HBOMAX, just take off that feature for all shows. It’s terrible.

  • Soulscompanion DrMindFullofHopefulSnark🌻 🇺🇦 🎭🌈 (@Soulscompanion) reported

    @franklinleonard @hbomax I assume you're talking about The Rehearsal. It was...different. For all that work, seems he made a major misstep in this episode, which he should have seen coming. Unsure whether it was courageous or good marketing that he aired it.

  • kingcutie Patrick Tillmann (@kingcutie) reported from Evanston, Illinois

    @LizzyBe83372909 @HBOMaxHelp Same issue. Same episode. Same gear.

  • TSpicknell Tyler M. Spicknell (@TSpicknell) reported

    @Yeenmeanmachine @PartyPrat That’s one of the reasons it got canceled! Not enough viewers! I suggest you watch it on @hbomax and help save it with more ratings.

  • Tylers_creator Tyler Smith (@Tylers_creator) reported

    @hbomax I pay for no ads, for a reason. You still insist on playing tv promos before episodes forcing me to click skip, which inevitably always messes up your awful apps. This is ridiculous.

  • KingBoyceProduc KingBoyceProductions (@KingBoyceProduc) reported

    How does @hbomax have the best show but the worst app...sweat the app is so buggy

  • CHARLIEBOT34 L.W. Barricade (@CHARLIEBOT34) reported

    @C_The_Cheeseman THIS IS THE WORST NEWS I HAVE EVER SEEN IT IS LITERALLY MY 9/11 @hbomax I LOVED CLOSE ENOUGH **** YOU!!!!!!

  • blendedstirred BlendedStirred (@blendedstirred) reported

    @hbomax needs a lot more servers. No other streamers are this slow. Takes forever to open and just pause to go to the bathroom takes a minute plus to restart.

  • JasonAMaurer Jason A.M. (@JasonAMaurer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Also.... please see my "dm" for help from FEBRUARY...... No response....

  • KingBoyceProduc KingBoyceProductions (@KingBoyceProduc) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Amazon Fire Stick the app take forever to load up sometimes. And it will just crash after some epsidoes of shows

  • kathyjeung Kathy Jeung (@kathyjeung) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp last few weeks can’t see Dumbledore, only audio, it was working fine before-now error msg “this video cannot be played” I see all other content w/no issues (I’ve restarted my AppleTV, deleted & Re-installed HBO app, changed my password, switched HDMI cables for new4K)

  • thecheesethe5th eileen burns (@thecheesethe5th) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I am having a problem with the sound not the closed caption.

  • owossogirl caryn dykman (@owossogirl) reported

    @TheMiddle_TV @hbomax Help!!! What episode was the one where they all picked on Frankie so badly that they finally broke her?

  • RamirezNoely Noely (@RamirezNoely) reported

    **** @hbomax and it’s terrible connection

  • kingcutie Patrick Tillmann (@kingcutie) reported from Evanston, Illinois

    @HBOMaxHelp Captioning works on every other program. In fact, it works on the first two episodes of this limited documentary series. Other people have had the same issue. It’s not me.

  • JasonAMaurer Jason A.M. (@JasonAMaurer) reported

    @hbomax Would love to but your absolute garbage app won't work on my smart tv. Netflix, Hulu, Disney... A. HBOMax is like a tin can and string.

  • thecheesethe5th eileen burns (@thecheesethe5th) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the problem is solved.

  • CHARLIEBOT34 L.W. Barricade (@CHARLIEBOT34) reported

    @HBO @hbomax this is the worst decision Any company has ever made. Renew Close Enough for 10 more seasons or you will personally be responsible for the destruction of this planet. Hell will reign if this show does not outlive me

  • levin86 Chris Smith (@levin86) reported

    @NormDeGuerre9 @HBODocs @hbomax With not property rights it is impossible to accumulate capital, the functional problem with anarcho capitalism

  • TheRealSamAdam2 Choose people and Earth, not capital or state (@TheRealSamAdam2) reported

    @HBODocs @hbomax You idiots couldn't find any real anarchists who'd work with you, so you hired a bunch of so-called "anarcho-capitalists," who naturally did it, because they like money. Anyone who watches your garbage will just be dumber than they were before.

  • RexEchoFives Saint James (@RexEchoFives) reported

    @DiscussingFilm Fix it @hbomax or I may just cancel the subscription we are only getting 6 new South Park episodes now days over years span y’all are dropping the ball

  • Epicteacher66 Ovens (@Epicteacher66) reported

    @hbomax You people have made the worst mistake I have ever seen in my entire life! 😡🤬 I hope you guys are happy because you are about to receive some angry fan letters from this

  • Anarkism_info anarkism.info (@Anarkism_info) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Don't know what's worst? If you have any professional honor or sense left, you should immediately change the name of the doumentary, or withdraw the entire series. Before you can publish a series on anarchism, you obviously have a lot of research to do first. (2/2)

  • ITzSergBruh iTzSergBruhhh (@ITzSergBruh) reported

    @hbomax why is there only one season of the late great Anthony Bourdains Parts Unknown show??? Fix this!!!

  • imrustyokay Rusty Ralston 🇵🇸 (@imrustyokay) reported

    @TSpicknell @adultswim @hbomax ...yea a corporation won't do that unless they're confident that doing that will make them a profit. It sucks, but that's how corporations work, they're not gonna spend $1 if they weren't confident that they'll get back $5.
