    @HBOMaxHelp @AixaBDavila Please fix it🥲

  • BrianPatrickChe BrianChevalier 🇺🇸 (@BrianPatrickChe) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp From a PR standpoint, I question the use here of the words “some” and “may be” instead of “many” and “are”. It belittles the issue for your customers, which is psychologically like belittling them personally.

  • MollyDelReyy Molly🦇✨ (@MollyDelReyy) reported

    Oop and there he goes saying she knew. I’m behind because my @hbomax stopped working EXACTLY at 7 and I still can’t get it to work on my tv. WHY!? I’ve been looking forward to this all day? It still has to be more complicated than this, I’m only 15 min in.

  • DoughRemia Dough ReMia’s Doggie Dough (@DoughRemia) reported

    @hbomax Anyone having trouble viewing it? Seems like HBO Max is having some issues? Or is it just my TVs??? Can’t get episodes 5 or 6...

  • ingloriousbaxtr IngloriousBaxter (@ingloriousbaxtr) reported

    @hbomax not gonna lie, it’s pretty frustrating that HBO is the most expensive streaming service I pay for and by far has the most issues.

  • LRwhisenant Lo. (@LRwhisenant) reported

    For HBO being HBO, your streaming app really sucks. @hbomax so many issues constantly.

  • LifeinCandyland candace (@LifeinCandyland) reported from New Rochelle, New York

    Honestly @hbomax should do whatever Netflix is doing, during lockdown last year everyone on earth watched Tiger King on the same exact day and it didn’t glitch ONCE

  • dustinjkent Dustin (@dustinjkent) reported

    This **** is infuriating. @hbomax app is the absolute worst.

  • bill2be1 bill2be (@bill2be1) reported

    @hbomax Hey HBO get your **** *** programmers to fix the show we pay you for. Let me guess ??? Affirmative action hires and all of the sudden we don’t have what we payed for. Typical.
