HBO Max Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BrianCBock Brian C. Bock (@BrianCBock) reported

    Why do companies not follow standards on platforms so stuff works as expected? Bought a keyboard for my living room devices, including Apple TV. Most apps just work. But not @YouTube, @hbomax and @BroadwayHD. These special snowflakes did their own thing. #Accessibility be damned.

  • CrastinatorA Pablo Colibrí (@CrastinatorA) reported

    I love how streaming services are competing for worst interface. Obviously @PrimeVideo wins, hands down. But I offer @hbomax as a healthy contender for just absolute ******* garbage.

  • shreks_pinky shreks_pinky (@shreks_pinky) reported

    @hbomax fix your subtitles please 🥺

  • Dj_DeRosevelt Nick DeRose ⬡ (@Dj_DeRosevelt) reported

    @hbomax you have created the worst streaming app

  • matt666_wooo matt_wooo (⌐■_■) (@matt666_wooo) reported

    **** this . im over it @YouTube @hbomax @PrimeVideo all laggy on my verizon fios internet please fix your routing. seems to work fine on wifi but ethernet NOPE loads 2 seconds of a video then stops. no help from fios support. 😡😡

  • cbmassey1 Chuck (@cbmassey1) reported

    @hbomax is there any fix for close captioning not working on Roku devices? I need it and don’t have any other platform to watch on.

  • SouthernConLady Jolene ❌ 🇺🇸 (@SouthernConLady) reported

    Don’t offer CC on your network and not have it work 🤬 @hbomax

  • vhmk9542 tayla coulthart ミ☆ (@vhmk9542) reported

    @BaileeMadison @PLLonMax @hbomax It doesn’t work in Australia 😢😢😢

  • RiazielGames Riaziel (@RiazielGames) reported

    @hbomax app not working? And the only thing I can find for 'solutions' is to update my app. Thank you for the obvious thing I checked first.

  • arterialturns Amish R&B (@arterialturns) reported

    Are @hbomax and @paramountplus in competition for worst streaming apps? At this point it seems reasonable to suspect they are well aware of the issues and this is some kind of sick experiment.

  • arterialturns Amish R&B (@arterialturns) reported

    @mitzlepatini @hbomax @paramountplus I thought so. But yeah, they're monumentally terrible. We were watching something on Paramount+ and I was reminded why I never use it.

  • ubieta_beta José R Ubieta (@ubieta_beta) reported

    @WestworldHBO @hbomax Worst sci-fi show ever 🤢🤮

  • Blackbilly88 BilliamB (@Blackbilly88) reported

    @hbomax for the love of god! Please can you fix it to where, the episodes actually start over when we finish watching them! I have to manually restart EVERY EPISODE!

  • etniacomm Roxana Alcala (@etniacomm) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @bahamapro This doesn’t help @hbomax La Unidad season 2, a Spanish series originally in Spanish, doesn’t have the option anywhere to choose or change the language (English)…there is no sense to watch it dubbed in English for latinos…c’mon!

  • seriouschick Becky 🇺🇦 (@seriouschick) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Already doing all of that. Still have to force quit and relaunch the app several times a week. Just work on the updates and fix it! It’s a known issue. You guys can do so much better.

  • theashab_ a5ha’s 🏠 (@theashab_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp fire stick. & you have a whole thread of 60+ reddit users experiencing the same problem. please fix it.

  • S42677549 Trumpo (@S42677549) reported

    @hbomax The movie is terrible! HBO Max not worth it

  • cryptobounter Crypto Hunter (@cryptobounter) reported

    @hbomaxmovies @hbomax Good acting, kind and funny film which could be very enjoyable if it’s not filled with that rainbow colour. The characters were quite obvious (I have no problem with) but this constant forced feeding of rainbow crazy ruins it badly. Shame to ruin it like this.

  • Dj_DeRosevelt Nick DeRose ⬡ (@Dj_DeRosevelt) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My experience is I’m trying to use this app on my tv to watch things as people do, but apparently this is only a buffer wheel, black screen, and error code app.

  • jayrobinson Jay Robinson (@jayrobinson) reported

    @_mochs Agreed. I have to search to find every show because they assume you always want the next episode. If they let you jump to the series page from any episode tile, that would help a ton. Also, spacebar doesn’t pause the video player on iPad w/keyboard attached @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp

  • AdamantxYves Yves' Pinned Tweet ❤️‍🩹 (@AdamantxYves) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi, I'm having issues signing in to HBO Max. I haven't changed my email address or password, yet I've been signed out and it says that my info is invalid. Please help.

  • bourgeoisalien beth, an alien (@bourgeoisalien) reported

    @gothy_kitty @krystalball @hbomax I have a friend who met him and said he was genuinely one of the worst pieces of **** she ever had the displeasure of encountering

  • ShowMEurBIGGIE Fefita La Grande 🇩🇴 (@ShowMEurBIGGIE) reported

    @hbomax is hands down the WORST streaming app. I pay $15/month just to see a a show called “Playback Error” y’all lucky #Insecure is on there otherwise I would’ve never gotten it.

  • JeffErickson93 Jeff Erickson (@JeffErickson93) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp How have you guys not fixed the problem where an episode of a series you've already watched starts from the end and you have to manually rewind every episode yet?

  • xxkj_ kazekage (@xxkj_) reported

    @hbomax for the love of all that is holy, fix your subtitles.

  • JP36719646 JP (@JP36719646) reported

    @hbomax I recently moved to a country where you don't have service and want to cancel/freeze my account. Your site won't let me and shows only that theres no service in my country. pls help.

  • jakepeterson70 Jake Peterson (@jakepeterson70) reported

    @peacockTV has the worst UX in the world.. holy **** didn’t know it could be this bad. Worse than @hbomax and that’s saying something.

  • TaySwift134life #savelegacies / Stelena and Handon forever (@TaySwift134life) reported

    All of my problems would be solved if @netflix or @hbomax would just #SaveLegacies

  • feature_envy Feature Envy Productions (@feature_envy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp (For anyone wondering this was ages ago and I was hired to work on embedded software so I promise I wasn't just an idiot)

  • Mizz_Juana Juana (@Mizz_Juana) reported

    @hbomaxmovies @hbomax I was so disappointed in this remake. I was so excited but the acting fell flat, movie was plain awful
