  • coxashton82 Ashton Cox (@coxashton82) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp So much content i really like. The app just doesn't work. It is terrible. The only way it works is if I mirror image from my phone. That isn't really reliable either. It is not possible to watch anything without digital interruption.

  • CRYPTO_GAL_ CRYPTO GIRL (@CRYPTO_GAL_) reported

    @mocitybarbie @HBOMaxHelp Experiencing the same issue with my Samsung TV. Rebooted HBO Max twice, but the episode still plays in Spanish.

  • coxashton82 Ashton Cox (@coxashton82) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My Samsung TV. App works fine on my phone. All the other apps work fine on my TV. There is no error msg or anything. It just skips and shutters constantly. Internet speed is good. Everything checks out. Narrowed down to the app.

    @hbomax please help us #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow

  • DMC8383 DMC915 (@DMC8383) reported

    @GloriaEstefan @hbomax This looks terrible.

  • paz_hall Person (@paz_hall) reported

    Dear @hbomax your app is the only one that crashes on my Apple TV. I love your content, but please fix it.

  • Lanz_J23 Lanz🇳🇿Snyderfan,ProdigalSon,AyerCut! (@Lanz_J23) reported

    It’s not right, it’s not ok we have soooo many questions. Work smarter not harder. #WeLoveRumors S3 Prodigal Son script locked in a vault somewhere. We the people deserve to see where our show was going next ,Sooo when do table reads start?? @NeonNZ @hbomax #SaveProdigalSon

  • FlyBoyTex Freddy Mendoza (@FlyBoyTex) reported

    @hbomax , why is #TheBatman having severe playback issues streaming over 4K? Extremely frustrating there are so many glitches with this title on your platform. Please fix!

  • cvega73 Claudia 🌙⭐️ (@cvega73) reported

    @hbomax Having a lot of connection issues! #awefulservice

  • MovieMcFly MovieMcfly (@MovieMcFly) reported

    Rewatching @FriendsTV on @hbomax … why is Ross agonizing over not seeing Rachel anymore to make things work w his new wife Emily? Is she really that important in your life???

  • KatieMcGinn Katie McGinn (@KatieMcGinn) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I believe this is now the 4th time I’m reaching out to let you know that closed captioning doesn’t work. Again. How is this not standard?

  • sworupranjit sworup (@sworupranjit) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp these issues showed up on a LG C1 OLED. jurrasic park movies had over 20 stream disruptions with the error that the title couldn’t be played. anime titles revert back to english and i have to select japanese every single time. issues don’t go away until the app is restarted.

  • iansecviar Ian Secviar (@iansecviar) reported

    @hbomax notifications on my iPhone have gone from amusing to annoying. “Renew to watch X.” I am literally signed into the app on my phone as a paid subscriber. Please fix your notifications.

  • AJCtown AJ (@AJCtown) reported

    Men will just blindly accept how functionally terrible the @hbomax app is and it’s disgusting

  • GregAmmons Ammons (@GregAmmons) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Pro forma FAC-speak, I'm afraid, thanks anyway: 'been there/done all that.' The fact remains: both Netflix and Prime *consistently* operate at a much faster speed than does HBOMax. And I hasten to add the issue is at your end & not mine.

  • Jonusx Mathew Cruz (@Jonusx) reported

    @hbomax would you please fix your app on tvos? Panning with the remote is awful, the interface and box art doesn’t look 4k, and it’s slow.

  • EinsteinBags EinsteinBags (@EinsteinBags) reported

    Just canceled @netflix - bought @hbomax and @PrimeVideo ... such a better quality selection of movies and series. Now, more than ever, is time for these streaming services to double down on customer acquisition so they can take the market by storm. #streaming

  • jornane_no Jørn 💛💙 (@jornane_no) reported

    Hey @HBOMaxHelp I can't start the TV HBO+ app when I have clients3[.]google[.]com blocked on my @The_Pi_Hole. I don't use Chromecast, so I don't really understand why the app needs to contact Google before being able to work?

  • RobFordComedy Robert Ford (@RobFordComedy) reported

    @HeroMode @hbomax Sorry but this has been the literal worst adaptation of any comic based team. **** stories that jump all over but go nowhere

  • airzzzzz Airz (@airzzzzz) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp My LGTV! It takes forever to load an episode or restart after pausing. I also see playback error messages that tell me to check my internet connection, which is working fine.

  • QuietAssassin7 Booooom!!! (@QuietAssassin7) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m having issues with playback. The actual show plays in 4K but and trailer/recap before or after the show plays in standard definition or worse. I’m using the app on an LG TV 43UP7560AUD

  • SCascadden theCasualOne (@SCascadden) reported

    @winningtimehbo @hbomax Why do the actors who portray Spencer Haywood & Dr. J look like they’re in their 50’s? LOL. Oh, wait, because they are!!!!Terrible casting but I have to admit I like the series.

  • MrsMeganTheRed Meg (@MrsMeganTheRed) reported

    None of the Candyman franchise streams anywhere. I check every month hoping one month @hbomax or @PrimeVideo will come through and every month I am more disappointed than the last. I just want good movies in the background while I work.

  • InSaNeLyBoReD Linda 💕 (@InSaNeLyBoReD) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp On my LG smart TV. Everything else plays. I'm currently watching the movie Antlers with no issue, but everytime I try to watch episode one of The Staircase it just spins.

  • InSaNeLyBoReD Linda 💕 (@InSaNeLyBoReD) reported

    @hbomax Episode 1 will not play it just spins and says playback failed. I put on episode 2 to see if it will play and it does. I put a movie and it works fine. Just having the issue with episode 1.

  • JeffNor00950687 Jeff Norris (@JeffNor00950687) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Using Roku and streaming with DirectvStream and your closed captioning DOES NOT WORK. We have four tvs in our house and captions lag by ten seconds or so on each of them. Please fix it!
