    @hbomax the changes to the player in the AppleTV app are TERRIBLE. Please bring back the native player.

  • pixelpreaching Matt Williams (@pixelpreaching) reported

    hey @hbomax your new scrolling forward/backward feature is awful. It constantly takes on a life of its own and just goes wherever it wants and locks up the movie. I have to completely force close the app and reopen it. Anyway it's all ****** up.

  • JoeGeee Its Terr-or-ISM NOT Patri-o-TISM (@JoeGeee) reported

    @hbomax The update to the media player has ruined the quality of this app :(

  • John_Royal John Royal (@John_Royal) reported

    Is anybody else having trouble with @hbomax tonight? I haven’t this much buffering since I had dial-up.

  • LeeMo79 🖖🏼 BLR 🇺🇸 (@LeeMo79) reported

    @hbomax Voice decryption plays with the movie, and I have tried turning it off 😕 doesn't work.

  • Jamarinerfan Nasty Jeanne- Screw republicans. Fauci is a hero (@Jamarinerfan) reported

    @hbomax your streaming service is messed up... quite a few of your "recently added" tv shows do not stream.. they just go back to the same screen that is used to activate them... Cold Case, Without a Trace and others... fix them or give us a break on the monthly fee

  • tranquilron ron 🌈🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ (@tranquilron) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with their HBO Max authentication tonight? @hbomax says my subscription thru @YouTubeTV has explored even though @YouTubeTV just charged me for it. Not huge deal given the state of the world, but dang, stop stealin from me.

  • SoulStereo2581 GJMartinez (@SoulStereo2581) reported

    @hbomax Your App keeps crashing on Playstation 5. 2 Errors back to back. Me and my wife would like to watch #TheConjuring3...

  • EarthGlows 𝐜 𝐨 𝐮 𝐫 𝐭 𝐧 𝐞 𝐲 🌼🌻 (@EarthGlows) reported

    I just wanna watch the conjuring @hbomax c'mon. The app Keeps telling me to sign in, switch plans, or that an unknown problem has occured. 😒

  • gr8gatz13 Gatz 🎮 🎧 🇺🇸 (@gr8gatz13) reported

    @hbomax You guys hiring? Seems like you need some tech guys to fix a few things there.

  • TheGingerBeard6 The Ginger Beard Man (@TheGingerBeard6) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @PaulsonThomas7 Maybe you can focus more energy on getting your app to actually work for the people currently paying for it then? Are you planning on refunding your North American market customers for the past week of barely usable service?

  • whatsupgary Gnarleton Heston (@whatsupgary) reported

    @ATT someone hacked into my @hbomax account through my AT&T sign-in and I can’t get a hold of support. Can someone help me?

  • YoungGodBecky Maika 🇯🇲🇬🇧 (@YoungGodBecky) reported

    @hbomax you lot tried to embarrass me during a movie watch party by dropping quality and now I can’t cap my night off with an episode of cold case because you want to be funky. Tighten ******** up because I’m not paying for no reason

  • SullygirlStacy Stacy Sullivan (@SullygirlStacy) reported

  • yupyup26637940 yupyup (@yupyup26637940) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp fix the @AppleTV app. It is now completely useless.

  • FoshDogg Fosh Dogg (@FoshDogg) reported

    Decided to try and watch the Harry Potter's on @hbomax since they were acquired, and my lord the quality is crap. Immediately went back to where I own them on @PrimeVideo and they look 100x better.

  • pixelpreaching Matt Williams (@pixelpreaching) reported

    @pmiscove @hbomax that makes two other people so far say that they have the same problem. Fix your **** @hbomax, there was nothing wrong with it before.

  • sidekick79 RT (@sidekick79) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxHelp I see the caption icon in the bottom right, yes, but I can’t select it. My remote only pauses/plays, exits (menu button) and controls volume. No way to select the caption icon unless you know a trick. +/- 15 seconds is important, too. Hopefully you can fix that

  • jeremy_peschka jeremy peschka (@jeremy_peschka) reported

    @hbomax @InsideHBOMax @HBOMaxHelp, can you help or respond?

  • 44726176656e 44726176656e (@44726176656e) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Audio, no video. Just a black screen. Apple TV 4K. Is there a fix or is it just bugged on this device as I see others with Apple TV having similar issues. @HBOMaxHelp

  • deadsparrow N8 (@deadsparrow) reported

    @shannon_sense @deray @hbomax The app is unusable for some people. Crashes so often

  • roblfarren Robert Farren (@roblfarren) reported
