  • failurebydesig3 failurebydesign93 (@failurebydesig3) reported

    @hbomax Unless you’re using the app on PlayStation and then all you get is constant crashes because the app is absolute trash. Save the bull **** call center generic help response and fix your app because this is clown shoes from a company as big as hbo.

  • ClipHolds30 . (@ClipHolds30) reported

    @hbomax can you please fix the app bro. I jus wanna rewind without the whole app goin berserk

  • zyroliangs yoshi sudarso as kuai liang era. (@zyroliangs) reported

    @JoshKer76984830 @hbomax @DCDoomPatrol yeah, is there a problem ?

    @ComicTyPhoon @hbomax I’m still having these issues can’t finish any movie

  • 1spooky4gloom3 SPOOKY GLOOM (@1spooky4gloom3) reported from Plainwell, Michigan

    @hbomax no matter who’s house I’m at. No matter what TV I use. EVEN OUT OF MY STATE VISITING N LOGGED IN. Your app boots me off of it mid-show. Freezes. Unresponsive. And relentless repetition of being kicked off the app. FIX YOUR ****. Or imma start a cancelHBOmax cult

  • Staydafuckmad Gaza Jim (@Staydafuckmad) reported

    If @hbomax doesn’t fix its rewind/fast forward functions by the time #Succession comes out, I’m suing.

  • i69grzzlybears i69GrzzlyBears (@i69grzzlybears) reported

    @hbomax ok soooo when are you guys gonna fix this absolutely dogshit UI? I can't even get through a movie without seeing. "Oops! Something went wrong." Ita about time this was fixed and customers were able to sit and watch the paid subscription without being forced to restart

  • AshleiSC Inigo Montoya, Phd (@AshleiSC) reported

    I’m not saying this cause I work for them but @hbomax is ELITE! Look at the material.

  • davispr Kelly Davis (@davispr) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I accidentally mistyped my own email address while signing up for an account and can’t figure out how to change it. Help?

  • lkhtmn Linda Hartmann (@lkhtmn) reported

    @realryanpro Omg it drives me crazy and I lose my internet connection to boot. @hbomax FIX THE DROPPED SIGNAL PROBLEM!! I can watch Netflix for 24 hrs and not have the problem I have getting thru 1 hr of programming on your service

  • Dutchmassive Dutchyyy (@Dutchmassive) reported

    Troubleshooting this volume issue with @hbomax and it seems it’s universal and everyone has the same issue. Too expensive for such negligence. If you need better Master QC, I’ll work on a contract bases (references WB, Netflix) ask around. None of this should have passed qc

  • SergeClivio Serge Clivio (@SergeClivio) reported

    @hbomax IS the quality, folks.

  • LEEM3R Lilith à la mode (@LEEM3R) reported

    @hbomax is the worst television app EVER 😖😡 @HBOMaxHelp

  • joanacatbagan Jojo Catbagan (@joanacatbagan) reported

    That @hbomax ad during the #emmys commercial break was brilliant . So much quality content. 🤤

  • jvracing87 jv18 (@jvracing87) reported

    @hbomax Sounds great but I lost it through prime video purchased through roku and it won't work. Roku says it's an hbo problem hbo says my account is still through prime even though I'm getting emails about my new hbo max account. Love the content and app was great through prime

  • walls_a_t5 Jay-mee ♍️ (@walls_a_t5) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp so I’m trying to transition from purchasing my monthly subscription from Amazon prime to now independently. I signed up online and went to go enter my “new” acct info into my roku app on tv. App on roku won’t even except a sign in, it only lets you create a new acct?!

  • njxguerrero0805 James Guerrero (@njxguerrero0805) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yes, tried all steps, works on tablet, phone, & through Xfinity but the issues have been through the PS5...deleted & reinstalled a couple of times... all my other streaming apps work on PS5 except this one...the error message pops up on screen, blocks movie/show

  • AngelusHector Hex (@AngelusHector) reported

    @melissax1125 @hbomax Neither. Malignant was awful. In my opinion of course. Lol

  • Phenomenal268 DreamCatcher•👑🇦🇬 (@Phenomenal268) reported from Dallas, Texas

    @hbomax fix your up next button? There’s no option showing that it’s highlighted to be clicked on.

  • nate_griffn Nathan Griffin (@nate_griffn) reported

    I thought @hbomax was the worst user friendly app until I got a free trial to watch @TheEmmys and it crapped out on me half way through. @CBS you now win shittiest streaming app… not much else I want to watch on it either.

  • magdalenepop (@magdalenepop) reported

    @hbomax succession so terrible please cancel it

  • AlexFrye87 Frye (@AlexFrye87) reported

    How come every time I try to watch something on @hbomax it lags like crazy? And then just randomly reboots my Roku? I don’t have this problem with any other streaming service. And yet I pay twice as much for HBO MAX!

  • njxguerrero0805 James Guerrero (@njxguerrero0805) reported

    @hbomax If only this App didn't give so many errors... especially on the PS5... consistently gives error messages that makes a person exit out of a show or movie in order to continue

  • AndyG95666493 AndyG (@AndyG95666493) reported

    @hbomax signing up for your service is as pleasant as pulling teeth. Spent an hour trying to figure out the issue before deciding to google prime/hbo split. But that's on me. Signed up thru xfinity now and still not working. Any advice, besides go back to Netflix?

  • KalinaRivers kalina (@KalinaRivers) reported

    Why does @hbomax suck SO badly? Every 10-15 minutes the “title can’t play” error pops up. Many threads on this for over a year. No fix. Don’t get HBO max.

  • JosephP31404396 Druuzil Tech & Games (@JosephP31404396) reported

    @mastersolace @Chelle_ovoxo @hbomax It's the app. It works fine on my TV but on an Nvidia shield, and via Chrome browser it chops/won't load/has stuttering issues which aren't internet latency.

  • GestaltOfRick Rick Borutta (@GestaltOfRick) reported

    You simply don't get it, @hbomax, @HBOMaxHelp - all the extra keystrokes to re-login every day make your video player the worst of every video player on the internet. Plus, having to re-navigate to current episodes because the player doesn't track.

  • GiveWitness Dave Oh! (@GiveWitness) reported

    Anyone else having a really crappy experience with @hbomax streaming? Like constant errors and stalls. Can’t get through a 22 minute episode of anything without it stopping over and over again.

  • TrueHorrorNet Jason (@TrueHorrorNet) reported

    It's incredible to me that @hbomax @HBO refuses to fix their atrocious app bugs. Maybe they should have put that JL money towards that instead.

  • JamiesonBSantos Jamieson (@JamiesonBSantos) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxSuporte No thanks. You cannot make a simple and functional app, how can you help me with something so specific? I doubt it.
