  • sallybmccarty Sally Baker McCarty 🇺🇸 (@sallybmccarty) reported

    @msandreatodd @Dr_Cryptox @hbomax Who cares? That’s what the story line was. Certainly not going to argue with you about whether it makes sense. Thinking something about the characters triggers something in you. Get help.

  • His_Gingerness Matthew Diederichs (@His_Gingerness) reported

    @hbomax There are large reports of your service not working right now? Are you going to address it?

  • His_Gingerness Matthew Diederichs (@His_Gingerness) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp So reading through here it's been established as a problem on Apple TV's, Samsung TV's and Rokus and firesticks and my issue is on an Xfinity Flex device and a Samsung TV. So it seems like it isn't working across the board.

  • InAllBlvck Ant🖤 (@InAllBlvck) reported

    @hbomax I can’t watch nothing the app freezes all the time. I don’t have problems with any other streaming service.

  • mattlivese MattLive (@mattlivese) reported

  • sallybmccarty Sally Baker McCarty 🇺🇸 (@sallybmccarty) reported

    @msandreatodd @Dr_Cryptox @hbomax You have a real problem with how worked up you get over your need to be right about a TV show and all your “oh my f’ing this and oh my f’ing that.” Get some help. Seriously!

  • BeachMermaid9 PrincessMermaid8 (@BeachMermaid9) reported

    @hbomax It was good but the celebrity cameos that had ZERO to do with the show were very unnecessary and James Corden as the host was awful. Also, where was Carol, Ben, Mike among lots of other people that were on the show? #FriendsReunion

  • BernieBernste10 Bernie Bernstein (@BernieBernste10) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Still not working for me. Samsung TV. Have reinstalled the app, re-booted the TV, etc. Please advise.

  • TommyCoughran1 Tommy Coughran (@TommyCoughran1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why is my downloads since the last update only 720p or worse even on the highest quality setting? There is literally no difference in quality between fastest download and highest quality. Please quit making your app

  • bkroseberry 🌺Common Sense, Please 🌸 (@bkroseberry) reported

    @msandreatodd @hbomax If a person truly hates a feature on themselves, wants to fix it & still look NATURAL, then fine. When people chase their youth & get so many fillers that they look unnatural, then that’s what I have a problem with. Wrinkles are much more attractive than looking fake.

  • kristal_bailey Kristal Bailey (@kristal_bailey) reported

    @colliderfrosty @hbomax Yeah lots of buffering. Wonder if viewership is up for the weekend and their servers can’t handle it all?

  • DrPhil1881 Al Simmons 🦅 (@DrPhil1881) reported

    Fix your app on PS4 @peacockTV @hbomax

  • CryptoDiscs CryptoDiscs (@CryptoDiscs) reported

    @hbomax Please fix performance of Roku #HBOMax app. Performance and navigation is horrific, slow, delayed, play one episode shows in title another episode, or vice versa.

  • bradley_nathanj Nathan Bradley (@bradley_nathanj) reported

    @hbomax why is your video player so trash. $15 a month should include a half decent UI. Half of the time, the next episode button doesn't work, it doesn't show up at all on the Samsung tv app, load times are horrendous, and the pause button has several seconds of lag.

  • bberkrot Bill Berkrot (@bberkrot) reported

    @hbomax HBO may have the worst lack of customer support I’ve ever encountered.

  • GradersBest prose Writers (@GradersBest) reported

    @SinSonya @TheConjuring @hbomax for sure i do help can i send you some proves Idon't know whether your dm is open?

  • JUSTBUA Bua (@JUSTBUA) reported

    @hbomax toward the end of any episode of any show I watch the “can’t play title” error comes up. What gives yo

  • Mik311 MikeyClassZero (@Mik311) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp i need help with my account

  • sallybmccarty Sally Baker McCarty 🇺🇸 (@sallybmccarty) reported

    @msandreatodd @Dr_Cryptox @hbomax Oh my. Get help.

  • Ken_Kraz Kenneth Muthama (@Ken_Kraz) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yes it still happens even if we restart the app and device. This issue has been happening since the start of the app. Also when ur watching on mobile and u try to fast forward or rewind on the time bar it lags so it’s hard to get the time u want.
