    @hbomax what is going on with your servers? Why do I pay for a service that does not work for the 1 movie I want to watch on release night?

  • jstinma Jma (@jstinma) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can stream, that’s not the problem. It’s just a terrible experience

  • TamarGlezerman Tamar Glezerman (@TamarGlezerman) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hello, please help. Can’t get the app to work on my roku tv. I’ve signed in and out and it doesn’t help. I click an episode and it just goes back to the episode instead of playing... I just want to watch hacks!

  • MzMoe204 Monique Smith (@MzMoe204) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I was going through xfinity and it wasn’t working. I’m watching the movie now on my roku and everything is good. Not sure if it’s your problem or the cable provider. I tried your app on my phone and it worked too. Thanks for responding.

  • Bloodpool11 Guillermo Murua (@Bloodpool11) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp HBO MAX on Apple TV is completely broken. Scrolling, rewinding and fast forward are absolutely unusable. The can’t skip forward 15 seconds with a tap, and can’t use Siri any more to type. Please update this nightmare. And while you’re at it, thePS5 version is a freezing mess!

  • MarkRosinski Mark Rosinski (@MarkRosinski) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp this customer service is a JOKE. I have asked REPEATEDLY for assistance. I’ve gotten absolutely nothing. And I continue to see others getting assistance. So I’ll ask again: CAN SOMEONE HELP ASSIST ME?!?!

  • radiohouston Houston 🏳️‍🌈 (@radiohouston) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Oh, and I have gig speed internet but still, every 15 minutes or so, the buffer animation dots appear in the middle of the content playing. Please revert the app to the most recent version.

  • GinaBlancarte Gina Blancarte (@GinaBlancarte) reported

    Anyone else having problems watching #Conjuring3 on the @hbomax app?

  • MarcusShepard Dr. Marcus Shepard (@MarcusShepard) reported

    I need @hbomax to fix their app on AppleTV... I can’t rewind or fast forward properly and it really ruins the experience 😭

  • jkriv JKriv (@jkriv) reported

    @hbomax What’s new is you took an already garbage Apple TV app and managed to make it completely unusable with the latest update. Nice work

  • msmyrafaye Myra Faye Turner (@msmyrafaye) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp stop acting like the problem is with our devices. The issue is definitely with your service.

  • ladyguenivere Gwen (@ladyguenivere) reported

    Ugh the @hbomax app SUUUUCKS on #appletv. Rewinding and Fast-forwarding doesn’t work at. All. Cannot just go back/ahead 10 seconds. And skipping to the next episode? Nope.

  • jeffherb Jeff Herb (@jeffherb) reported

    @hbomax Please fix the AppleTV app. It got epically worse with the last update. Also, Succession is amazing.

  • linzgonerogue ☕️lindsey (@linzgonerogue) reported

    The growing frustration of wanting to throw my appletv out the window is growing immensely. #HBOMax you really dicked consumers over didn’t you? With this ridiculous update where buttons/commands don’t work except play @hbomax

  • elmore_shantel Shantel Elmore (@elmore_shantel) reported

    Is anyone else having issues trying to watch the new conjuring on HBO Max? @hbomax

  • LeeMarcoke marcoke lee (@LeeMarcoke) reported

  • CheeringXBoxer Steven (@CheeringXBoxer) reported

    @NOTrynaBRude @hbomax Yikes! I had trouble with new releases earlier, but older stuff seemed to work. Finally got a newly released show to play, but don’t think I rewound or fast forwarded.

  • Derrick34526554 Derrick (@Derrick34526554) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'm trying to sign in to my account but it's not allowing me to do that it keeps saying I don't have an account but I do

  • SamSpammerz The ORIGINAL SamSpam (@SamSpammerz) reported

    @hbomax Not working. How many times does **** have to crash on opening night for you guys to come up with a new strategy AND FIX IT???

  • iLLNASTii iLLNASTi (@iLLNASTii) reported

  • megancantreid megan reid (@megancantreid) reported

    @coachkisgod @HBOMaxHelp SO frustrating. It seems like their servers can’t handle people wanting to watch it. @hbomax #HBOMax #HBOMaxDown #Conjuring3

  • MrJohnPetersen John Petersen (@MrJohnPetersen) reported

    @hbomax The app is broke! Why am I paying for something that doesn’t work?!?

  • hussey909 husseymang (@hussey909) reported

    @hbomax Your app is literally the slowest app ever. Unbelievable. Made me cancel and i dont ever plan on re-subscribing. App has terrible connection on firestick. Computers. Phones. The only thing that works is the direct links. Sad really...

  • KevinIsMyDog14 Adam Tremaine (@KevinIsMyDog14) reported

    @hbomax Wouldn’t know. Your app sucks so much *** I can’t watch anything. Fix it.
