  • haustetter Peg (@haustetter) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @dragonram7924 Having the same issue. Restarting network equip didn’t resolve the buffering.

  • marlee_deb Deb Marlee (@marlee_deb) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @shielapul Why can you only get it on certain devices? I’m supposed to download the app and sign in using my cable log-in info, but impossible. Very frustrating since I pay extra for HBO.

  • entirelyKWEEN And what about it? (@entirelyKWEEN) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp I have this audio sound consistently and on multiple devices where the app’s audio is SO LOW compared to every other streaming service. PLEASE FIX.

  • RoxyWrites Roxy Rogers #SaveProdigalSon | Author | Journo (@RoxyWrites) reported

    . Are we having a counting problem?.... 1 heel, a *pair* of heels - granted Jessica can only use one shoe at a time to knock someone on their butt, but heels are always worn in pairs 👠👠 #SaveProdigalSon #BewareTheHeels @hbomax

  • GingerEsq JCC (@GingerEsq) reported

    @hbomax your app is the worst! Can’t even watch, constant stop and can’t start

  • tac_dcc D (@tac_dcc) reported

    Those Who Wish Me Dead is one of the worst movies ever @hbomax

  • loveaniston71 RachelKarenGreenGeller (@loveaniston71) reported

    @hbomax Please make sure you’re ready to handle the mass amount of people that will be streaming the FRIENDS reunion 🙃. I’m so afraid your system and app is going to crash from the amount of people tuning in. 🥺

  • CoolBoyMom6 Billie- Baseball Mom (@CoolBoyMom6) reported

    @hbomax The Nevers Season 1 Episode 6 on Apple TV is not the Nevers but some weird sci-fi show. Please fix it

  • michaelshort26 Det. Allen Gamble 🔔⚖️🌺 (@michaelshort26) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp For some reason, on my Apple TV when I launch the app it will work okay at first. Then if I switch to another app to watch something else, and then go back to HBO MAX it just sits loading & won’t work unless I restart the Apple TV. Any resolutions for this?

  • SmartAssRdHd1 SherryW/TheCherryHair (@SmartAssRdHd1) reported

    Still trying to understand why @hbomax doesn't have working closed captioning for those of us with bad hearing. Cannot get it on any of my tv’s yet I’ve set it up in my profiles. Doesn’t work folks!!

  • KelliMD7 Kelli (@KelliMD7) reported

    @hbomax Am I the only one having issues with HBO max tonight? I am watching through Apple and no matter what I try the Nevers is narrated. I’ve tried absolutely everything including restarting the whole system

  • LaydeeX31 Kim Simmons (@LaydeeX31) reported

    Lol @ATT offers a data package that includes free @hbomax but every time I try to set it up I get some kind of error #SCAM

  • KelliMD7 Kelli (@KelliMD7) reported

    @hbomax am I the only one having Issues with HBO max tonight. It’s not raining the entire series of the Nevers

  • dreeealugo Andrea (@dreeealugo) reported

    Why is @hbomax still not working??? And why am I only one talking about it 😔

  • Brianna__Loves Puerto Rico is a US colony (@Brianna__Loves) reported

    When will @hbomax fix the Google Chrome streaming function ?

  • DBAGooner Ryan Desmond (He/Him/His) (@DBAGooner) reported

    Is it just me or is the @hbomax player on chrome awful? Absolutely the worst streaming player I've experienced so far.

  • tweetqueet ShewrEYEte (@tweetqueet) reported

    Help me understand how @quietplacemovie isn't going to be on @hbomax? #AskingForMyself

  • ysabell49255574 ysabelle (@ysabell49255574) reported

    Tweeting has become a full time job that I squeeze In with my real full time job plus Uni so really its like having 80hr+ work weeks all to #SaveProdigalSon #SavetheTurtlenecks so please do @hbomax @netflix

  • shielapul IAmTheWhistleBlower 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@shielapul) reported

    @marlee_deb @hbomax Omg, I have issues with the website all the time. You can’t use the slide for skipping fwd or backwards...it causes freezing. And now I can’t turn off the ‘caption with audio’ off...which I never turned on. It’s driving me crazy.

  • thetrekmec Jonathan 'Fully Vaccinated' Meckler (@thetrekmec) reported

    @MollyJongFast @julesk_fighter He was in the '90s show "Pushing Daisies" a show about a man who has the power to raise the dead with a touch to find out who killed them. The problem: someone else had to die to replace the raised up person. If you're interested, it's on @hbomax

  • JessBr0wn Jess Brown (@JessBr0wn) reported from Birmingham, Alabama

    @hbomax Please make your app work on my TV! Couldn’t play content for four days. Yesterday spent 30 mins with customer service and they could not diagnose the issue. Miraculously worked for about 24 hours now down again. So frustrating.

  • LynneDubois Lynne Dubois (@LynneDubois) reported

    @HBODocs @alexgibneyfilm @hbomax How did we deal with pain b4 oxys? Did anyone die from the pain of a broken bone, or wisdom teeth extraction? Because that's what they're prescribing for these conditions. 😡

  • smittyhoward Howard (@smittyhoward) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp How do I sign up another samsung TV? Cannot figure it out, need second tv to work thanks

  • dragonram7924 jesse o'malley (@dragonram7924) reported

    @hbomax ok so I got HBO Max. have been enjoying it for the most part but youll really really really have to work on the buffering issue. like it freezes up or lags bad during programs or movies

  • dmarie131 Danielle P (@dmarie131) reported

    @hbomax is stressing me tonight. 😩😩 get it together & stop work the errors. Thank you I’m advance.

  • ForceofLance Lance Hagan (@ForceofLance) reported

    @hbomax @Bethenny Fix the ps4 app!

  • mystiev SunshineDaydream💙💞🇺🇲 (@mystiev) reported

    .@hbomax please get your poop in a group. I'm tired of your app freezing during the middle of a program. Or is Xfinity the problem?

  • ForceofLance Lance Hagan (@ForceofLance) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I and many others have already done all that. Doesn't matter how many times it's reinstalled it reset its the app itself it's been a issue for months and you refuse to fix it!

  • s_sompolski Stephen Sompolski (@s_sompolski) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp lately streaming on your app has not been going well. It seems as though a lot of people are having the same problem. Running an Amazon fire tv 4K playback quality lowers frequently and buffering. Been very frustrating.
