Kakarot (@King003001) reported@JGreenhouseftw @PsychoDad7820 @hbomax There’s no such thing as trans. It’s just men and women. Some men like to pretend to be women and the other way around too. Those are sick people that need help
-
Virtual Photographer...sometimes (@mangAman_vp) reported@hbomax Just a heads up: Using the app in the UK with adds, after adds appear the quality drops badly and you have to stop then restart. Also, the amount of adds in the first 10mins is brutal. Hardly enjoyable.
-

amara (@akatburns) reportedAEW Revolution on HBO audio issues still not working after spending $40… multi multimillion dollar company right now are we serious. How do we get refunds @HBO @hbomaxhelp
-
Josh Hayes (@perpetual_hayes) reported@hbomaxhelp The audio for #AEWRevolution has never synced up with the video. The problem seems to have been there since the main show started after the Zero Hour pre-show. I’ve tried exiting the app and restarting the show a few times, fast-forwarding, pausing, etc.
-
AEWMarksman (@AewMarksman) reportedMy @hbomax audio is about 10 seconds behind the action and I have no idea how to fix it #Aewrevolution

ProfessorHulk52⚾🏈🏀 (@professor5269) reportedThe worst streaming app by far is @hbomax @HBO
-
Sdot 😵💫 (@The_StevenHo) reported@hbomaxhelp @AEWonTV @StreamOnMax There was no make good and watching the show live was impossible. Almost as impossible as getting to talk to a real human instead of the chat bot on your help page.

NICK Hudson (@MCConditioner) reported@hbomaxhelp I’m watching it on a laptop on my bed instead of the tv like normal I also missed the first 25 minutes as well, I’m just annoyed I have to jump threw hoops to get something i paid for to work properly
-
George G (@GeorgeG92483038) reported@hbomaxhelp I can barely stream anything and watch it. Keep having to stop and start because the audio is not in sync with the video. Please fix this issue.

Jp *checkmark (@RealJPSquared) reported@hbomax if you can't competently stream live sports, give it to someone else. Choppy, audio goes out of sync... This is the worst garbage stream I've ever had to deal with.

Matt Smith (@msmith850) reportedDon’t forget, today is @hbomax day. Download, sign in/up, stream @tntsports and loads more 🎥 📺
-
Jason Ader (@TheJasinator) reportedHow to save Paramount and Warner Brothers? Rebrand #DavidEllison Replace @paramountplus and @hbomax with simply HBO which stands for... Home Box Office. HBO Netflix YouTube This should be the big 3. Studios have become silos and force people to take sides. YouTube and Netflix, even Amazon, are not studios, they are brands. The names have become the product. Netflix is used for streaming like Kleenex is used for tissues. HBO could easily be the "generic" rebrand people reach for. Already known for high-quality TV, it's simple and self explanatory without having to ask, what does Paramount own again? What does Warner Brothers own? Plus and Max descriptions are 20th century marketing. Lose them or lose the business. IMHO 😎
-
Rajiv (@TheRajiv8) reportedI hade to request a refund from @Apple for the **** show that is @hbomax showing #AEWRevolution just bought it on YouTube and it’s working beautifully there. @hbomaxhelp get it together and hopefully Apple approves the refund because of how terrible the experience was on your app
