  • epetergiles Peter Giles (@epetergiles) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp “Some” customers. I ONLY have your streaming service for #Gommora and you have no subtitles for eps 7-12? I bet I could learn Italian before you fix this. Canceling as soon as I finish this show.

  • tprilliman35 Tyler Prilliman (@tprilliman35) reported

    Anyone else think it would be great if @peacockTV and @hbomax would work at least 95% of the time. It's nowhere near that number but it would be nice. These services are terrible for the amount you have to pay. They work maybe 50% of the time. Won't play or freeze mid episode.

  • The3Buckleys ThreeBucks is Fully Vaccinated! (@The3Buckleys) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Your app is the worst of them all to use, seriously. HBO Max is the New Coke of streaming services.

  • MellyLifeLiver Melissa Galbraith (@MellyLifeLiver) reported

    @DustinLBarnes @hbomax Did you finally get it to work?

  • ItsChrissyFitzy Chrissy Fitzgerald (@ItsChrissyFitzy) reported from San Diego, California

    @HBOMaxHelp I tried all of this & none of it worked. It just keeps crashing and immediately taking me back to the Roku Home Screen. All of my other apps work just fine it’s just the @hbomax app that keeps crashing & it’s on both of my TVs not just this one. #rokuhelp #HBOMaxhelp @Roku

  • ActualJimDavid Jim David (@ActualJimDavid) reported

    @hbomax PLEASE FIX THE APP. On Apple TV it freezes, fails to load, is hard to exit, and often only works if the unit is restarted. No problems with any other app. I love HBOMAX & dread using it.

  • lolaLOSANGEL Lola (@lolaLOSANGEL) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp OMG when are you going to fix closed caption on #gomorrahseason4 ?

  • BeingBourdain Being Bourdain (@BeingBourdain) reported

    📺 @LGUS get it together and fix your “Smart TV” so we can have @hbomax I’m tired of streaming from a phone and it buffering. It’s 2021.

  • sunnylagirl Rebecca Wray (@sunnylagirl) reported

  • Saf_Rhapsody FancyMe (@Saf_Rhapsody) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still not working for me. Signed in and out several times as well as closing and reopening the app.

  • germanogeorge George Germano (@germanogeorge) reported

    @hbomax why isn’t the app working on my Samsung smart TVs? I have to re install the app every time I turn the tv on or else the hbo max app simply won’t work. Is this something that’s going to be fixed soon?

  • sphariss Stefanie Phariss (@sphariss) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Finally realized I could watch it on the AT&T TV App. Never for @hbomax to work. Also “contact your TV provider” is a BIZARRE recommendation for people who subscribe directly to #HBOMax Who exactly are we supposed to call??

  • DETROlTLions313 Restore the Roar (@DETROlTLions313) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still broken…

  • CutAyer The Ayer Cut (@CutAyer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still not working on roku. I can at least open the app now but errors when trying to play anything. Works fine on pc.

  • joelcochran Joel Cochran (@joelcochran) reported

    @spboyer @hbomax It’s been having issues for a while, but last night was the first time for me that it flat out did not work.

  • keepagoodname keepagoodname (@keepagoodname) reported

    @MaxBoot @hbomax It took 10-15 times for ours to work. 🙄 Finally got the Mare fix. 🙌

  • 2Partizan Partizan 2.0 (@2Partizan) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I am experiencing issues. Oh wait, that's only because I cancelled HBO untill you #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

  • Devonnnnn678 Devon Lemoi (@Devonnnnn678) reported

    Dear @hbomax I love your app because of the selection but the app itself is trash. Force closing, inconsistency, it’s just terrible.. please fix it

  • jj7twin ♊🗡J&Jessie🗡♊ (@jj7twin) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The problem has been resolved hence my level of frustration. In order to link my accounts I had to use my old HBOMax login after I signed in with Hulu vs my Hulu information like those helpful sites said, because my Hulu email was tied to an expired HBONow subscription.
