    @HBOMaxHelp @Karim_HT Having the same problem trying to resub since my Prime sub was automatically cancelled. Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. ID: 93ac9271-51cd-4974-9f89-6407e16fe767-hboMax

  • irilyth Josh Smift (@irilyth) reported

    @foldedfish @hbomax This happened with one specific episode of Lovecraft Country, the one in Korean, and TSOR suggested that there was not a Roku-based fix; we watched the episode on a laptop plugged in to the TV instead.

  • KANEKWEEEN 🖤KANÈKWEEN💖 (@KANEKWEEEN) reported

    does anybody else have an infuriating issue with hbo max errors constantly while watching anything. i cant watch a ten minute steven universe episode without having to close and restart the app how are yall watching full movies😭 @hbomax

  • duT1Ful duTiFul (@duT1Ful) reported from Nashville, Tennessee

    @HBOMaxHelp Currently using on PC through Google Chrome, cc for every matrix movie is several scenes ahead. Having the exact opposite issue on mobile (s21 ultra) where the CC is several scenes behind.

  • jwRios01 Jeremiah R. (@jwRios01) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp the audio assistant randomly turned on and won't **** off. I've restarted the device, confirmed the feature is off, and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Any idea how to fix this? It on my Roku soundbar.

  • eatdirtbarbie2 emo leftist barbie🦋 (@eatdirtbarbie2) reported

    @CaseyBarilka @hbomax Ur not alone- I keep getting prompted to sign in

  • ur_shadow31 𝑲𝑸♕︎ (@ur_shadow31) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'm trying to watch a movie but it says to renew subscription, but I just paid for it a week ago. I can't watch anything. It doesn't work on my Xbox or phone

  • PayneHall11 Payne Hall (@PayneHall11) reported

    @pjb_media @hbomax It’s the worst. Especially if you fall asleep and try to figure out what episode you left off in. Trying to get back to the whole series is a struggle.

  • So_Fetch3 c$ (@So_Fetch3) reported

    .@HBOMaxHelp what’s with this ? How can I fix this?

  • Shiftyprophet Multiple Man (@Shiftyprophet) reported

    @hbomax fix your damn streaming app on consoles!!

  • AdrianH_IsInOK QualityTweetsNeedNotApply (@AdrianH_IsInOK) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have a 3wk long and equally useless and frustrating email chain with @Ubisoft over my hardware and your software versions. That was more understandable because it was concerning a 20 year old game. If all of these complaints are coming in JUST on the PS4 - YOURE THE PROBLEM

  • SSJ_Trebor sixth_hokage (@SSJ_Trebor) reported

    @hbomax fix this ******* app on roku. It’s been a whole year that this ****** app has been crashing on roku devices and you still haven’t did anything to fix it. And now we have to use it since prime video is gone. Do your ******* job.

  • Wright1275 Peter Wright (@Wright1275) reported

    @HBO I hear you're removing all your content from Amazon and hoping everyone will flock to @hbomax ....except your app is **** and keeps freezing. I cancelled because I always had trouble watching stuff on your app. Good luck getting those 5 million subscribers back...

  • rims_jerry Gerald Rims (@rims_jerry) reported

    If #HBOMax didn’t have the selection they had, there’s no way I could bear to deal with how terrible of an overall streaming platform it is @hbomax

  • magpieadams margaret adams (@magpieadams) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp ….. And after about an hour and a half DM’ing your “help”- The solution I was given is literally the problem that Initiated the convo- TO OPEN A NEW ACCOUNT… umm.. well you see that’s the problem … I can’t

  • judesamm Albino Rhino (@judesamm) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @JustinRoiland @hbomax Glad you asked. Most streams glitch and freeze a bit after 30-40. Then it repeats more frequently. W/in 20 mins, its freezing every 2-3 mins and it's not worth it. TV is a Samsung, but it happens on my Roku as well.

  • fractalfay Fractalfay (@fractalfay) reported

    Did @hbomax suddenly just evaporate? I can’t login, and it’s not even listed as a channel on Prime anymore. WTF.

  • StoptheHypocri2 Stop the Hypocrisy (@StoptheHypocri2) reported

    @hbomax I heard this movie was terrible...by multiple sources.

  • magpieadams margaret adams (@magpieadams) reported

    I can’t create an account and I can’t sign in. @hbomax you knew 5 million people were losing their subscriptions this evening- And you didn’t consider how to facilitate 5 million people renewing that subscription with a pre-existing email?

  • Thefallofheaven Max Alfaro (@Thefallofheaven) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax Is there a way to get the subtitles back on the Playstation app? 🤔 since the Update went live, I haven't been able to use Spanish subtitles on any movie 😟 even the ones that I already watched with spanish subtibles on. Can I get some help?

  • link2steve I'm Steve (@link2steve) reported

    @Roku Can you fix @hbomax app please? For some reason the performance is very slow and if you forward the video in a serie or movie the app kick you out or stop working.

  • rdebuys Robert de Buys (@rdebuys) reported

    @hbomax your app still blows. Please fix it, thanks. It shouldn’t be hard to skip recaps or rewind 20 seconds

  • Blacademix Original Walker (@Blacademix) reported from Gaithersburg, Maryland

    @hbomax tony’s hair is just terrible

  • SyedZain171 inZane (@SyedZain171) reported

    @JustinRoiland @hbomax I always have to force quit their app and reopen to make it work on my samsung tv (ru8000) whenever I turn on tv after a few hours.

  • daminionbob send me podcasts pls (@daminionbob) reported

    I’m too poor to buy @hbomax and watch I May Destroy You, but if you have access to a @netflix acc Chewing Gum is a really solid show that’s also by @MichaelaCoel . It’s very much worth a look. All her work is honestly. Saving up to find DVDs of I May Destroy You if available

  • sometimeslunch GovShirboCham, B.A. (@sometimeslunch) reported

    @hbomax got a bunch of cool **** but seriously one of the worst streaming experiences. Watching GoT and the subtitles almost never match up, like the subs would be for completely different episodes. Fix it PLEASE

  • magpieadams margaret adams (@magpieadams) reported

    Your help center suggests I sign in and then renew but it will not allow me to sign in through my provider- amazon- because it’s no longer offered through Amazon?! @hbomax

  • CaseyBarilka Casey Barilka (@CaseyBarilka) reported

    Is it possible that I am the only person who consistently has problems with the @hbomax app?

  • JohnRoastBee Fromunda Cheese (@JohnRoastBee) reported

    @hbomax Why does your app constantly crash on Roku??? And yes my software is up to date. Why should I pay if your service doesn’t work??? Horrible.
