  • BriGuyAsher Brian Asher (@BriGuyAsher) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp HBO max is not working on my Roku. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still nothing. You can select a show or movie but when you do you just get taken back to the description page for it.

  • rowanblaze Stormsage (@rowanblaze) reported

    @hbomax So my app is telling it can't play a downloaded movie when I don't have wifi and warns me about using cellular data. What is the point of downloading if it still wants to stream the movie? (apparently no help menu in the app either)

  • TheRealRTG Ryan Gunter (@TheRealRTG) reported

    @maxpower2271 @DMoneyL123 @hbomax U guys forget they're paid by the same organization. It's like saying people spend more money in the electronics section at Walmart so the employees in that section make more... Doesn't work that way

  • ENolan70 Eric Nolan (@ENolan70) reported

    @hbomax Had to close app and restart 4 ******* times now to watch this movie. Fix this ****.

  • AmyHayward1979 💉Vaxxed Girl Summer 💉 (@AmyHayward1979) reported

    Yo @hbomax . I haven't been able to watch anything for 2 days. Fix yo ****.

  • gailXOXO19 💋🍑 😈 (@gailXOXO19) reported from Bethpage, New York

    Is anyone else having trouble with @hbomax taking unusually long time to load, even between episodes? I tried signing out deleting the apps on my iPhone and tv, reinstalled and signed in and I still have the same.

  • relaxitwillbeOK Omar K (@relaxitwillbeOK) reported

    @hbomax god damn this is the worst streaming app ever... “Oops Something Went Wrong” every 2 minutes... ******* trash

  • CarollineFerna5 Ferna (@CarollineFerna5) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @freckmonster It doesnt help. I did this a Lot and nothing change

  • Stmn_Willie_Bmn Willie H. Jefferson III (@Stmn_Willie_Bmn) reported

    Sad day my @hulu and @hbomax doesn’t work here in Canada 🇨🇦 😓 Also no @pandoramusic

  • zob879 uıʇsnɾ (@zob879) reported

    @hbomax app is garbage when it comes to these movie premiers. Never play correctly. Sound no picture but can see picture if fast forwarding in little window. All other apps and shows on the app work.

  • KaitoKilljoy 乇乂ㄒ尺卂 ㄒ卄丨匚匚 (@KaitoKilljoy) reported

    Apparently I am not the only person having issues with @hbomax you would think with how much the monthly cost is, things would actually load...

  • DarthNemesis8 Darth Pānter (@DarthNemesis8) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp No I will not DM you because all that does is take the issue private & nothing gets resolved. I pay too much money to have to deal with your app's issues. @aforssell get your team's crap together and fix junk *** app. Your customers deserve better and it's getting old

  • khaliasbro Godson Ken (@khaliasbro) reported

    Hey @HBO @hbomax you guys have been #cancelled since you don't want to bring back Lovecraft Country. The money spent on that bogus Mortal Kombat movie could have been used to help fund that show instead....

  • TheRafaMafia Nunie 🐩 (@TheRafaMafia) reported

    You CANCELED #LovecraftCountry ?! For the love of all that is holy, why?!? One of the best shows on TV and you canceled it! Terrible decision! @hbomax @HBO smh

  • Drew46515691 Drew (@Drew46515691) reported

    @MathewbArun @HBOMaxHelp Also, they still haven't told us why there's apparently some issue with restoring that scene that was somehow missing on release. The one with Green Lantern that they somehow never uploaded. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

  • tommylprice23 Tommy (@tommylprice23) reported

    @hbomax what is wrong with yalls app on Roku?? I’ve had nothing but problems since I downloaded it. It take at least 4 tries to get anything to play and half the time it won’t let you finish what you watch. Any suggestions?

  • WittnessTweets HoosierTweets (@WittnessTweets) reported

    @hbomax Paid the $15 for the app to watch The Wire... This app is the slowest in the entire on demand industry. Your boss really needs to address that. My streaming speed is great, so it's 100% on the build of the app. Buggy, crashes, lags. Please work on it!

  • melocotoncita Yamila Martina (@melocotoncita) reported

    Do we have anybody from the @hbomax tech/product team in the room? Love to hear why at this point in the history of Product Management we have a massive product with so low quality standards. #HBOMax

  • ENolan70 Eric Nolan (@ENolan70) reported

    @hbomax You’re stealing $14.99 with your ****** up app. Pure trash. Fix it.

  • Ant_DatDude23 shellz KAPONE (@Ant_DatDude23) reported

    @hbomax Fix the app on the roku dammn can't watch nothing when it keeps kicking me out

  • Boots1961 Marci (@Boots1961) reported

    @hbomax At least 50% of the time when I select a movie to watch it will not play I don’t have this issue on any other streaming service
