  • MooseRuth Ruth Moose (@MooseRuth) reported

    @DCDoomPatrol @MattBomer @hbomax Really enjoying your work at the moment - been having a Matt Bomer moment ever since I discovered white collar but find I can’t watch it anymore without hearing the line from The boys in the band ‘I’ll spread my legs and keep my voice in the lower registers’

  • parvatisoprano Rachelle (@parvatisoprano) reported

    @JTD_23 @hbomax I recently watched on YouTube…free. Maybe not available everywhere? But way better quality on your DVD I’m sure👍

  • jkalucki John Kalucki (@jkalucki) reported

    @mgsiegler Prime Video (Amazon) also works great on a plane. @hbomax doesn’t ever work offline. Why even _have_ downloads?

  • FrankJAvery Frank Avery (@FrankJAvery) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @HBOMaxHelp Been doing this all year. Always runs into the same issue.

  • SusanBCapeCoral Susan Ball (@SusanBCapeCoral) reported

    @hbomax @ATT @directtv After 5 days with phone calls, texts and tweets with ATT and HBOMAX, our service is still not restored. #help #ATT #HBOMax

  • TraeGrise Trae Grise (@TraeGrise) reported from Newport, Arkansas

    @HBOMaxHelp completely sucked. Trying to use the sign in w/ Provider but forcing me to “choose a plan” or “restore a purchase”. Takes an act if the dysfunctional Congress to get “logged back in”. #Frustrating #AppFail

  • xSenpaaii ayda.chan (@xSenpaaii) reported

    , @hbomax really said "we gon make The Worst mobile app!" and they successfully :)

  • AlastorDougal Dunkey (@AlastorDougal) reported

    @ShawnFatfield @hbomax Trying to keep users watching is more important to streaming services than anything else, even things like "quality"

  • ExcellenceinRe1 Excellence in Recycling (@ExcellenceinRe1) reported

    @JTD_23 @hbomax Someone posted the whole flick on YouTube, good quality picture too.

  • ufoclub1977 Sharad Kant Patel (@ufoclub1977) reported

    Uh oh, with the latest @AppleTV update @hbomax doesn’t want to work. “Can’t connect” or “cannot play this file” with an error code that varies. Got fios internet. All other apps like Disney or Hulu work.

  • liketheblade Annalisa (@liketheblade) reported

    @hbomax Garfield the movie (2004) is not working to watch I want to watch Garfield

  • _Swift23 Scam Likely (@_Swift23) reported

    .@HBOMaxHelp @OptimumHelp When try to log into my HBOMax account, it's telling me my OptimumTV subscription has expired. HBO help tells me it's a problem with Optimum, Optimum says it's an HBO problem. I'm gonna need to get y'all in a group chat so you can figure this out.

  • MichaelCollier Michael S. Collier (@MichaelCollier) reported from Marysville Estates, Ohio

    @HBOMaxHelp I get a Download Limit Reached error when trying to download new shows. However, none of my devices have downloaded items. Can you please help?

  • C2000Martin MartinC2000🏴‍☠️🦉 (@C2000Martin) reported

    @rejectnation @hbomax She was awful.

  • lfriedberg Larry Friedberg (@lfriedberg) reported

    @hbomax is, without a doubt, the WORST streaming app available. The WORST!

  • TripleMeat2226 Snot on my mind (@TripleMeat2226) reported

    Can you help me deactivate my account @hbomax

  • Marinal92487799 Marina lewis (@Marinal92487799) reported

    @hbomax it is impossible to get through a single show without lagging, glitching. Every other is fine: netflix, hulu, prime. Abysmal. And no I am not struggling through nonsense “troubleshooting.” The trouble is this heinous service.

  • lea_atkinson Sharn (@lea_atkinson) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi login through my provider @OptimumHelp !

  • itsCPDasshole Lolª ♥️ (@itsCPDasshole) reported

    @andrewmatarazzo @hbomax @hbomax fix that please he needs to rewatch GOT off wifi :)

  • DogmoneyDog Cranky Banana Claus (@DogmoneyDog) reported

    There are some good choices of stuff to watch on @hulu but their ability to resume viewing across devices is broken and almost never works. Seems like their developers could probably take some lessons from the team at @hbomax whose app is beautiful by comparison.
