  • todayifeellike todayifeellike (@todayifeellike) reported

    @hbomax @youtube is saying that content on your official YouTube channel is unauthorized and they gave me a strike for posting a video directly people to your channel. Can you let YouTube know that your channel is authorized and wholly legit. @YouTubeCreators please help fix this

  • JNDIV John Dorsey (@JNDIV) reported

    @Variety @hbomax you realize this is a terrible move right? Like why is any creative going to sign with @wbpictures after all the projects you’ve killed?

  • carsonliminals carson (@carsonliminals) reported

    @hbomax @Discovery absolutely awful and cruel just to have some of so many peoples favorite shows wiped off the face of the earth just to save some pennies

  • librarianjennie Jennie (@librarianjennie) reported

    I need help! For some reason @hbomax won’t stop providing audio descriptions. How do I stop this?

  • EvilSoftGames Evil-Soft.com (@EvilSoftGames) reported

    .@hbomax Turning off Autoplay does NOT in fact turn off autoplay. It just turns back on 1 episode later. This is unbearable to contend with. Would you fire up your #programmers to *actually* fix this? Before I decide to cancel.

  • mongooseCA TheRealMongoose (@mongooseCA) reported

    @hbomax I subscribed and unsubbscirbed after 30 minutes, worst quality stream and stream in general. Great content, but uts like 1990 quality, and lagging and stall is unbearable

  • PatrickPilonGAT Patrick Pilon (@PatrickPilonGAT) reported

    @AppleTV @hbomax Anyone with iphone app problem? I suddendly can’t acces my apple tv from the phone app…

  • JDP6 JP (@JDP6) reported

    So @hbomax just straight doesn’t work huh?

  • reeseer1 Eric Reese (@reeseer1) reported

    @GailSimone Definitely cancelling my @hbomax subscription when I get home from work. Why give this company any more money?

  • rwgreene Prof. Ronald Walter Greene (@rwgreene) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Not working ony TV, but can get to it on my computer. My TV uses a fire stick to connect to the internet

  • rwgreene Prof. Ronald Walter Greene (@rwgreene) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Not the problem. my captions/subtitles are not on. All other shows work without the same problem: no picture only voice is specific to HOD

  • beckiesweckers beckiesweckers (@beckiesweckers) reported

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax Would have been awesome if my hbo max app didn’t crash every time it played, and I could have actually enjoyed it. Hopefully works today. 🫠

  • QueenDakota5 Dakota Long (@QueenDakota5) reported

    @hbomax has the same quality of streaming as an illegal site I swear

  • DrewManning Drew Manning (@DrewManning) reported

    Let me get this straight. @hbomax has no problem yeeting 40+ shows and movies but @Netflix still has Cuties 🤔

  • sean_okeefe sean_okeefe (@sean_okeefe) reported

    @hbomax You are greedy. Pay the creators. Allow their work to be seen. Creators are the only reason you have any revenue at all. You lost a subscriber and I will never sign up again as long as you continue this horrible disrespect of the people who get you everything!

  • ganguu gangadar (@ganguu) reported

    @hotstar_helps why don't you release @HouseofDragon in Dolby vision? Even now you want to stick to 1080p? It's wonderful show please release it in better quality.. Or bring @hbomax to India.

  • pleasegive10mil wakanda1966 (@pleasegive10mil) reported

    @GRRMspeaking @HBO @hbomax My Venmo is wakanda196610million. As a kid I might have thought I could grow up and fix the problems in society, but now I just want to write because it is what I enjoy. However I am not making any money from it, and wish I could do what I love so much for a living.

  • MichaelDanon Sir Michael Danon (@MichaelDanon) reported

    @thatbilloakley @hbomax Bill, can any of the animation guilds or unions help argue for a clause that demands a dvd release if a show is ever shelved from streaming?

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I always have issues with your app at least once every 1-2 days, on a @TCL_USA @Roku tv. Reinstalling the app never fixes it. 😞

  • EsraK2011 Israa (@EsraK2011) reported

    @Borys_Kit I don't like @wbd and @hbomax anymore... They are doing everything to lose subscribers!!!! Just #RenewYoungJustice and give us more #batmanTAS and respect the work of those who do their job and make movies you've orderes before just out of respect - it's the only way

  • InuyashaSan87 Inu 💖 🇨🇦 (@InuyashaSan87) reported

    @Sketch1984 @hbomax Though those shows were write-offs unless it doesn't work the way I think it does?

  • LauraLa48325481 Laura Lamb (@LauraLa48325481) reported

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax I can't ever get my HBO MAX to work.😠😠😠😠 SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED WITH MY DIRECTV HBO SUB, BUT IT'S NOT IF IT NEVER WORKS!!!! IS IT?(?)🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • OkcAbogada Michelle Edstrom (@OkcAbogada) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The app crashed right before the end of episode one! And now I get an error message that says “unable to load page…may be temporarily down or have moved to a new web address.” How do I fix this??

  • JennyHallenbeck Jenny Hallenbeck Orr 💉❤️ (@JennyHallenbeck) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Oh - haha. No, it was user error. We have a 4yo so we do watch Sesame Street sometimes. I accidentally selected the wrong thing; the two shows were next to each other in my “keep watching” section of the home screen.

  • groonk Hubert Motley, Jr. (@groonk) reported

    @EvrLvnBluIdThng @hbomax I've not seen a company generate so much ill will in such a short amount of time. I mean, honestly, who would ever want to work with them?

  • tee_dub Tigger Warning (@tee_dub) reported from Tulsa, Oklahoma

    @HBOMaxHelp brand new Samsung TV with Apple TV 4k. I’ve rebooted everything multiple times, turned off closed captions, deleted and reinstalled the app, watched the coming soon to HBO intro dozens of times, but The app crashes at 1:28 every time. Please help.
