    @hbomax why does your app work so terribly? closes and crashes after 2 minutes of watching anything on my tv. i’m about to go joker on my tv

  • HoopsMavenHM Hoops Maven (@HoopsMavenHM) reported

    @FullTimeHoops1 @hbomax Did you have any experience with the customer interface on Peacock Premium for Olympics coverage? I told my daughter that it reminded me of "Pong" or "Space Invaders" in a situation when your joystick froze. Scary terrible.

  • CortyLamar TioJungleGym (@CortyLamar) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @julesrrm That is not fixing the issue for none of your customers. What WE recommend is for you all to contact @netflix and ask how they figured it out. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall with each episode of a tv show I'm watching.

  • BlueberryWelder 🤖✨ (@BlueberryWelder) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @_mejiasebas I have 250mbps down hard wired to my tv with cat6 and it couldn't play a movie in 1080p. Meanwhile YouTube can play 4k with no problem. Fix your servers and internal networking.

  • nancygo86867524 nancy goett (@nancygo86867524) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp we can't get HBOMax to work on our Roku this week. None of the online suggestions are working. Our internet is working fine. It keeps bumping us out of the app. We cant use it. So frustrating. Whata going on this week? We updated all software too.

  • Tiff4626 Tiffany Todd (@Tiff4626) reported

    @hbomax ur app keeps freezing up on me on every half hour/every episode I watch. AGGRAVATING!! Why? Update coming? Help!

  • KhepryRe Final Khepry will return after Leo Season. (@KhepryRe) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @JeraCouture @CheyenneTheGeek Make it more responsive and work faster. Fix your coding. You're costing yourselves money with the garbage UI.

  • AylaMarieXO Ayla Marie (@AylaMarieXO) reported

    @hbomax why doesn’t your app ever work?

  • iShadi Shadi شادي (@iShadi) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hello! Your app on Apple TV is not working. It’s stuck on the logo loading screen for 5 mins. I’ve tried restarting and reinstalling. Nothing works! What’s the solution? (Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14.7)

  • ArielGooden Ariel Gooden (@ArielGooden) reported

    I need for HBO Max to learn how to keep they ear to the streets lmfao Twitter is giving all types of data about a specific issue with their service and they ignoring the girls. Fix that rewind button ****! @hbomax

  • libraryspecter thebadguy (@libraryspecter) reported

  • missdivineblack KT📍Softest Place On Earth (@missdivineblack) reported

    @CashAppRecords @hbomax no fr y’all gotta do something. I thought it was just me … but it’s hard af to rewind and etc. I just miss the part atp , chi. But to see this many people with the same issue.. this is a problem.

  • IMissUAaliyah BJ⚡ (@IMissUAaliyah) reported

    @s_108 @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax Np problem, a lot of ppl are having this issue.☹

  • YaoBlacks Yao black (@YaoBlacks) reported

    @charlie_shain @hbomax It's so poorly designed it's almost weird that they haven't done anything about it. The comment thread is funny and dead on with the hilarious takes on (God help you!) trying to rewind or fast forward and how glitchy the app is.

  • larrymcarr Larry Carr (@larrymcarr) reported

    @chris_notcapn Worst ffwd and rewind ever @hbomax

  • fawnserene Fawn M. (@fawnserene) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @chris_notcapn It’s mostly on my Amazon FS but also my phone, my Xbox, etc. It also makes no difference what I am watching… This is a frequent issue when you want to fast forward or rewind. I also have a/v issues on your new releases and I have to take it out of 4K to fix which is frustrating.

  • IMissUAaliyah BJ⚡ (@IMissUAaliyah) reported

    @s_108 @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax No fix yet, they are still trying to figure it out why.

  • socialpapillon 🗯 (@socialpapillon) reported
