Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hotbloodedeq vaccinated af (@hotbloodedeq) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My iPhone app is terrible, my Amazon Fire app is terrible, and my Samsung smart TV app is terrible. All of the above. Both TV apps constantly get stuck on the 3 dot loading screen, and the iPhone app freezes when you try to switch from episode to episode. All of it - terrible.

  • ippaku ippaku (@ippaku) reported

    Hey @hbomax your app on iPad and iPhone latest update is horrible. You can’t skip or drag to a timeline. Tried on different devices, WiFi, & locations please fix it

  • tdaronoff Todd Aronoff (@tdaronoff) reported

    @hbomax first my HBO max tv app doesn’t work, then HBO max goes dark and now someone took over my account. I reported the last issue and provided verification evidence and there has been no account reset or follow up. Can someone please help? Thank you!

  • jstinma Jma (@jstinma) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Apple TV app is basically unusable l, why is it impossible to scroll back and forth?

  • _momin_shahab Momin Shahab (@_momin_shahab) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The latest Apple TV app update completely broke HDR, Dolby Vision playback. The match frame-rate/dynamic range feature is not working. Skip forward/backward not working. Swipe to rewind/FF is unusable

  • Zerok315 David (@Zerok315) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax Legit about to drop y'all because the new Apple TV update made the app nigh unusable. Seriously, did no one test this?! The controls while watching something don't even work!

  • KyleinCLT kyle (@KyleinCLT) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @JJDevaney You told me the same thing nearly 2 weeks ago. Why cant you fix this

  • GeneCrucean Gene Crucean ☀️ (@GeneCrucean) reported

    @badeen @hbomax They probably outsourced it and are dealing with communication/quality/timezone issues

  • whittlesayski Alive442 (@whittlesayski) reported

    @justinkcomer @hbomax Hbomax has to be the worst streaming app so far. You cant even adjust the volume if you stream to a chromecast. I have to change the TV volume like a ******* caveman

  • MidWestCoasts MidWestCoasting (@MidWestCoasts) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Tried all of these already unfortunately. Didn’t work. The issues were still persisting last night. Random languages are automatically selected for shows we watch. But the subtitles don’t come on. Either we close it and crash it ourselves or it does it on its own

  • NashGuy73 NashGuy (@NashGuy73) reported

    @HBOMax, what have you people done to your Apple TV app? It used to work great, with normal Apple playback controls and UI. Now it's a huge steaming **** that is literally uncontrollable. Why? How did this get released?!

  • bjamesxl200 Brandon (@bjamesxl200) reported

    Wish I understood why the @hbomax app sucks??? Error messages, buffering... it’s 2021. C’mon.

  • GeorgiaGirl9 BB (@GeorgiaGirl9) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp - Love the movie/show options, but the platform is a mess. It’s constantly crashing, sending error messages, etc. It’s leaps and bounds behind the other streaming platforms. 😕

  • badeen Jonathan Badeen (@badeen) reported

    @kangaroo5383 @hbomax Sooooooo many things broken. :(

  • raveryn Alessandro 'Lex' 🎙 (JLUPodcast) (@raveryn) reported

    @ReelJuanMatos @hbomax Based on IP alone, Superman has never been a big box office draw. And aside from DKR, the only Batman films that do well are with Joker. So he's the real draw. BvS has a 70 drop because audience had trouble following it due to WB cutting 30 min of connective tissue.

  • nellysimao_ Nelly (@nellysimao_) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @HBOMaxHelp the new app is unusable with the new  tv remote… 🥲

  • chetan_chothani No Bull$&@ Factory Here! (@chetan_chothani) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Macbook Pro - Safari Browser. Its not a tech support issue. Netflix, Hulu, Disney and Amazon Prime work just fine. I believe you need better software on your end.

  • lolalissaa LoLa (@lolalissaa) reported

    The @hbomax app is the worst.

  • TKOprovidence Ken Hall 📸 Dad Talk 🤳🏼 (@TKOprovidence) reported

    @hbomax fix your service. Can’t stream South Park season 4, unexpected error keeps closing app on Roku TV.

  • robinbartolini Robin Bartolini (@robinbartolini) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @DangGirllllll @hulu Was just having the same issue. I pay for HBO *Max* via Hulu. Hacks is an HBO Max Original. So why can I not watch it via my Hulu account?

  • michael_hulen Michael Hulen (@michael_hulen) reported

    @hbomax I'm about to cancel my subscription and tell all my friends not to get it. Can you fix the buffering issue FFS?

  • nessamarcolla Vanessa Marçolla (@nessamarcolla) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still having the same problems with the app on my Apple TV. I’ve already closed, reopened, signed out and sign back in. This app update is awful.

  • alondrarias alo 🍒 (@alondrarias) reported from La Puente, California

    @HBOMaxHelp @domonicb I’m having trouble

  • DREFIR3 Dre FiRe (@DREFIR3) reported

    What deal would you take ? @Tubi gives you 30 million and the rights to you work @hbomax gives to 50 million and you get 35% of your work @netflix gives you 100 million and you own nothing you make. Just trying to see something

  • JPSportsRuckus Jesse Peel-SportsRuckus (@JPSportsRuckus) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yes. I have to shut off my TV and restart it then the audio will play. Then when it gets to the next episode, the audio cuts out again. I tried this on 3 different TV's and had the same issue. None of my other apps has this problem

  • KJMacDonald K-Mac™ (@KJMacDonald) reported

    Did @hbomax change its app on @AppleTVPlus ? Suddenly, rewinding and fast forwarding is not working properly. Yes, I rebooted.

  • WickedDragon666 Wicked (@WickedDragon666) reported

    Hey @hbomax your app still sucks. UI, lag, playback issues. You can do better. I believe in you

  • Blerc26 Bri (@Blerc26) reported

    Wondering if @hbomax is ever going to fix the “something’s gone wrong” error. It’s been an issue since launch and I literally can’t get through a whole move or tv show without seeing it.

  • lilibachhofer Maria Bachhofer (@lilibachhofer) reported

    @hbomax for the love of God please please fix the hbo max app on the Xbox!! So tired of seeing it buffer forever or getting that stupid "can't play this title" msg!

  • PaulSchmitt1983 Paul (@PaulSchmitt1983) reported

    @DavidRivera_off @WarnerMedia @hbomax They know the Snyderverse is a hit, they just don’t want to work with Zack Snyder.
