  • JesseVCoffey Jesse V Coffey, #Author and #Reviewer (@JesseVCoffey) reported

    @timesculture Because using blue lighting would help the viewers see and we can't do that at all, can we. @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMax

  • just4cashapp just4cashapp (@just4cashapp) reported

    @tomking12588141 @hbomax My picture in picture no longer works since the update either. No troubleshooting will fix that especially when you see multiple people complaining about it on the app store reviews. Fix it with a new update

  • ArynaLivadari Aryna (@ArynaLivadari) reported

    @hbomax please fix your log-in UX

  • BonBee81 Bonnie (@BonBee81) reported

  • CChiloveWrites C Chilove (@CChiloveWrites) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @emilyaluce Way to respond to your viewership 😒. Fix the damn episode so ppl can go back and truly enjoy it …and quit making creative decisions that fail to enhance the viewer experience

  • ErinB90s OrphanPunk'd (@ErinB90s) reported

    @hbomax The #PaperGirls cancellation was frightening enough this year. Help Us! #SavePaperGirls 🗞

  • amfhTX amfh (@amfhTX) reported

    @hbomax It's a boring soap opera with terrible lighting and sound and I was a game of thrones superfan

  • raddyicloudcom1 Rads skii (@raddyicloudcom1) reported

    @timesculture Poor Creative decision. Terrible lighting, appears cheap. Please @hbomax stop with the dark lighting #HouseOfTheDragon

  • Nightmericly Nightmericly (@Nightmericly) reported

    @hbomax the last episode of House of the Dragon was nearly unwatchable, we played with the TV settings for about 5 minutes and then just realized you all just suck at filming. No want likes that **** at all - no one. I’m paying for content and your quality sucks - do better.

  • SuprCoopr JL Grover (@SuprCoopr) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @CVIKIS Not sure what everyone is complaining about, my projector showed the episode perfectly fine. I had zero issues discerning what was happening on the screen.

  • darklinax_ Sonya 🚬 daemyra era (@darklinax_) reported

    @megustanloslib1 @hbomax still can’t see **** lmao. coloring is awful

  • Samiva5 Sam.iva (@Samiva5) reported

  • _Casseseased Caitlin Greene (@_Casseseased) reported

  • 1thinchip Thin Chip (@1thinchip) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Such a good cast, such terrible, unfunny writing. Let Hugh write a few!

  • jaisaidwhat Jailyn (@jaisaidwhat) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @CallSignWhisker It was a HORRIBLE decision. Whoever made it should be fired and never allowed to work in Hollywood ever again. #EPICFAIL

  • BeNessa_ Nessa 🦋 (@BeNessa_) reported

    @Pedi_light @hbomax People morals don't work when it has to do with Daemon.

  • FunkinmuffinZ Sweet Baby Jesus (@FunkinmuffinZ) reported

    Hey, @hbomax what's the point in paying you the subscription if I have to wait for pirates to fix the damn brighness on your TV show for it to actually be watchable? #HBOMax #HBO #HouseOfTheDragon

  • EpicuriouslyY Epicuriously Yours (@EpicuriouslyY) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @zephyr757 Is this some sort of ADA violation? I had trouble seeing and I have decent vision.

  • _Casseseased Caitlin Greene (@_Casseseased) reported

    @hbomax Fix episode 7 of Dragons. It’s not artsy, it’s annoying. I thought my TV was malfunctioning.

  • KBug722 Katie (@KBug722) reported

    So frustrated: @hbomax knows I'm in Thailand so I cannot open the app, but when I try to download @HBOAsia it says "not available in your area". Then, they have the AUDACITY to spam all my feeds with @HouseofDragon ads!!! HELP!!!!

  • OmaMahmud 𝙁𝙏𝙇𝙊𝙒𝘼𝘾 (DELUXE) OUT NOW (@OmaMahmud) reported

    @hbomax They were beating his daughters, what do you mean not his problem.

  • DirkBargen Dirk (@DirkBargen) reported

    @timesculture Scene was unwatchable on HBO Max app, tried every possible setting on my TV. Stopped watching middle of that scene to try it on Hulu and the difference was night and day. No issue at all on Hulu, the HBO Max app has an issue with picture quality. @hbomax

  • SupremeBreeder Freelance Astronaut (@SupremeBreeder) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Ok thanks. I believe it was in the hbogo app or at least transferred settings from a separate device. I do appreciate y’all potentially fixing this issue.

  • MsWitchAuthor Ms. Witch (@MsWitchAuthor) reported

    @hbomax Guys, I beg you to fix your lighting.

  • jCloudyPants Jeff Cloud (@jCloudyPants) reported

    @zephyr757 @hbomax This is all about contrast ratio; there simply was not enough difference between LIGHT and DARK on the screen for most home-viewing setups. I liken it to mastering audio: aim for good sound on the worst source. @hbomax and Miguel Sapochnik seem to think viewers are wrong.

  • ATM723 ATM Lit #600 (@ATM723) reported

    @markwahlberg @hbomax @markwahlberg I’m from Michigan, Chevrolet of Highlands sold me a faulty truck can you please help
