Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OGTrekker OGTrekker Rob (@OGTrekker) reported

    @campbelldropout @RaquelStecher @hbomax It's horrible on Apple TV and iPhone. Keeps turning on CC in Spanish. Can't change it. Stuttering video. Have to keep killing and restarting. "Can't play title errors" every 5 minutes. Needs a lot of work. 🙄

  • AHerring11 Allison Herring (@AHerring11) reported

    Things that really suck: the @hbomax app. It’s the worst streaming app out there and all I want to do is watch the finale of #MareOfEasttown

  • agcoop agcoop (@agcoop) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks HBO. Appreciate the response. I assume the playback issues are due to high volume? High class problem! Please do fix the ability to get back to the show page too. Frustrating navigation bug. But, obviously, it hasn't stopped me from watching your great programming:)

  • ta_ters taters (@ta_ters) reported

    @hbomax why does your app suck so hard and barely work?? I’m paying $15 a month! Fix it!

  • PetterRingbom Petter Ringbom (@PetterRingbom) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Nope, not resolved. Not working. Nothing loading.

  • NVGhost005 D'Enise Arabella Qi'ra Daenerys Targaryen Trikru (@NVGhost005) reported

    What is wrong with #HBOMax now? Did the Tech quit? They need to take that app offline, fix it, and then re-roll it out again. I can't even change the closed captioning without it kicking me out. And it's so slow in response no matter what you do. @hbomax @hbo

  • MissPope HP (@MissPope) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still not working on our Samsung smart tv.

  • HeartofCoyote CrazyDogLadySezRedefineInfrastructure🕉 (@HeartofCoyote) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp we are still experiencing problems. It will not allow sign out, so we can’t sign in again. This is on a Fire TV. The Roku account is working. Are you unable to cope with 2 subscriptions to the same IP address?

  • wapplehouse Kristi Yamaguccimane (@wapplehouse) reported

    ur in her dms. I’m also in her dms. She is the social media person for @hbomax customer service and we both have error messages again

  • Connie_Bickes Cbozz (@Connie_Bickes) reported

    @hbomax @HBO @hbomax why is it still not working? Still getting an error code. So frustrating 😡

  • Michelle_523 Michelle (@Michelle_523) reported

    My first complaint about the #FriendsReunion is that the captions are way ahead of the audio. Like at least a full minute. I'm less than 3 minutes in and I turned them off because it's so annoying. Must be a huge bummer for anyone who truly needs the captions. @hbomax fix it pls

  • tejanokid roger_villegas (@tejanokid) reported

    @rogervillegas @hbomax did if fix it self

  • SSchwerman Reading Maniac (@SSchwerman) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Uh yeah, that wouldn’t work for the issue everyone had. It was the app.

  • OGTrekker OGTrekker Rob (@OGTrekker) reported

    @hbomax The app on Apple TV and iPhone is useless tonight. Keeps turning on CC in Spanish. Can't change it. Stuttering video. Have to keep killing and restarting. "Can't play title" errors every 5 minutes. Needs a lot of work. 🙄

  • enginutkan Andy Engin Utkan (@enginutkan) reported

    @jonathanbaltz @HBOMaxHelp No the streaming was choppy yesterday. Probably a technical issue.

  • SaucyChicken718 WeCanBeSheroes (@SaucyChicken718) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Some people? It looked like many many thousands. I tried all the usuals: turned my tv off and on again; deleted the app and reloaded it; Logged in and out on other devices. None of it worked. The HBOmax app is the worst functioning app that I use.

  • kuntizzy ليون (@kuntizzy) reported

    @hbomax i’m literally begging yall to fix this app omfgggggg

  • Bubba86313473 rick (@Bubba86313473) reported

    @YouTubeTV @HBO @hbomax Yourube tv DVR is extremely Low quality, gainy and blurry mess, why should I upgrade anything by youtube with this poor level or quality? I think I am going to cancel based on this

  • _lotusflow purr | Megz (@_lotusflow) reported

    @hbomax this app on my smart tv sucks. I love your movies but damn fix this. there is no restart from the beginning button. it freezes. I don’t get why everyone spends money on this and it doesn’t work adequately #HBOMax

  • campbelldropout Campbelldropout (@campbelldropout) reported

    @RaquelStecher @hbomax Watching tonight but their app is so wonky on Apple TV. Shuts down or runs into errors all the time.

  • BentonCrider Benton Crider (@BentonCrider) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Uh dude it's been like 24 hours since I tweeted, issue resolved last night whenever yall fixed whatever was wrong with your server/app

  • oldmanswiftie David, inactive 💛💛 (@oldmanswiftie) reported

    @hbomax is the worst streaming app ever! And yes it’s because of the incidents from the past few days that triggered this tweet. But the app itself has so many bugs and I was thinking this long before I tweeted.

  • OGTrekker OGTrekker Rob (@OGTrekker) reported

    @kathied_1985 @hbomax It's horrible on Apple TV and iPhone. Keeps turning on CC in Spanish. Can't change it. Stuttering video. Have to keep killing and restarting. "Can't play title" errors every 5 minutes. Needs a lot of work. 🙄

  • ThugLifeDomo Domo✊🏾💙 (@ThugLifeDomo) reported

    @hbomax ima need y’all to fix the downloading option. Every time I try to download a show the app kicks me out. #annoyaf

  • sobrostan sobrostan (@sobrostan) reported

    Mare of Easttown is making me feel like I have a brain aneurysm with this quality. Figure it out @hbomax

  • ABafia Angela (@ABafia) reported

    @aletaleta @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp It’s awful on Amazon Fire tablet. Have to restart every time I use the app….sometimes twice.

  • ever_dice Everdinho (DaNewRicoSuave) (@ever_dice) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp your translations aren’t working on the app for any movie or show. Closed captioning is on but for example, Rush Hour 2 has Cantonese to English translations that should be in the movie with or without closed captioning on. Not the only person with this problem

  • PiccasosPaint Chris Piccaro (@PiccasosPaint) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp our Apple TV app keeps crashing and subtitles don’t work. Usually need to restart the Apple TV to have it work temporarily. Any idea what’s going on?
