  • Ever19Tower Eric (@Ever19Tower) reported

    @AyerTrev @HighDefDiscNews @hbomax They already made 4K discs of GOT so they didn’t have to do anything here other than put the episodes up. The hard work was already done.

    @JamesTK98455102 @wbd @hbomax WB already tried the "spend a bunch of money to finish an unfinished director's cut" tactic and it didn't work well enough for them to justify doing more. Ayer's story is not unique in Hollywood, and unlike Snyder, he was very much involved in the making of the theatrical cut.

    @disneyplus @paramountplus @hbomax go ahead and up your price so you can afford someone to help with these apps, THEY ARE NOT USER FRIENDLY

  • dkburton Daniel Burton (@dkburton) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I worked around the issue. It was “Bad Words.” I was able to play it via the Hulu plugin, but not via the HBO specific app.

  • Pink_Burrito 999 jAyR15 🤭🖤 (@Pink_Burrito) reported

    Ayo, @hbomax!!! They got ‘The Raid 2’ only in Spanish and won’t allow any other language dub. This absolutely terrible VA doesn’t even match. I feel like I’m watching bad anime dubs all over again smh. All these people call about this and u still don’t fix #SMH #HBoMax #AWFUL

  • CliffHinNJ Clifford Hamblen (@CliffHinNJ) reported

    @HighDefDiscNews @hbomax I purchased the first 2 seasons in UHD and it makes a big difference in video quality.

  • Troy_McAlister_ Troy (@Troy_McAlister_) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @chefboyarjosh Sorry to barge in but I’m having the same issue and these steps didn’t work for me :/

  • jeramymanes Jer (@jeramymanes) reported

    @hbomax Fix your app. You have to know that people download movies so they can watch them without internet access. Right?

  • willmckinley 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕄𝕔𝕂𝕚𝕟𝕝𝕖𝕪 (@willmckinley) reported

    Peacock is the worst. @HBOMax @DisneyPlus + @ParamountPlus are better (for now). But the arms race of original content will continue to marginalize classics. And, since streaming made everyone think DVDs are "obsolete," we're slowly losing that option, as well.

  • RobbieTheGeek Robbie Holmes (he/him) (@RobbieTheGeek) reported

    I feel frustrated that I purchased for Amy @GameOfThrones on #4kBluray & now it is released on @hbomax in 4k with Dolby Vision / Dolby Atmos. The streaming experience was terrible, so I spent money for a better experience for something I already pay for. #donewhining

  • steffenanderso Steffen Anderson (@steffenanderso) reported

    @OADelano1 @HBO @hbomax Hey MAGAt, fix your own problems. You know nothing of ours.

  • PoppinsMer a. cadabra (@PoppinsMer) reported

    @hbomax I honestly hate this era. I like.. LOATHE the world right now. Especially this country. All of those things? Were MISTAKES that were made decades ago. None of those things WORK. Banning, censoring and prohibition create black market criminal empires. Remember THAT part?

  • LackadaisicalA Alli ⓜⓐⓡⓘⓔ 🏳️‍🌈 (@LackadaisicalA) reported

    @hbomax So Im watching Teen Titans and it cuts off at 20min episodes when it’s supposed to be 30 so I miss the last 10min of it.. so I don’t get to see what happens in the end.. and it cuts off in the middle of a scene.. Please fix it!

  • NoelElMagnifico Noel El Magnifico (@NoelElMagnifico) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp seems there is a glitch when playing episodes from a series. It freeze up when playing the next episode. I have to go back replay the episode.

  • ZProductionz Noah Levine (@ZProductionz) reported

    @KillerCritics @hbomax It's fun but wow is that movie-loving character given the worst dialogue ever.

  • ArendelleKel Kelly (@ArendelleKel) reported

    @jokesarepuny @hbomax I contacted them here and I got it fixed. We needed to update the app. We have problems with HBO Max all the time and it’s not just us. Luckily this time was an easy fix!

  • han__shot_first Han Shot First (@han__shot_first) reported

    @GameOfThrones @hbomax Why is your web browser experience so poor. It worked great back in the HBO Now days. Now the picture quality is poor and fuzzy, the mouse cursor doesn’t hide, and if you rewind 15 seconds, there’s a 50% chance the stream will freeze.
