    @HBO @hbomax Your customer service sucks. Your sign in procedure sucks. What a disgrace.

    While @JioHotstar @hotstar_helps makes news about bringing @hbomax to India, they continue to block premium users accounts every single day for 24 hours at a time. Utterly and completely useless. It has been 3 weeks my father is continuously harassed by this with no help.

    @hbomaxhelp I can barely stream anything and watch it. Keep having to stop and start because the audio is not in sync with the video. Please fix this issue.

    How to save Paramount and Warner Brothers? Rebrand #DavidEllison Replace @paramountplus and @hbomax with simply HBO which stands for... Home Box Office. HBO Netflix YouTube This should be the big 3. Studios have become silos and force people to take sides. YouTube and Netflix, even Amazon, are not studios, they are brands. The names have become the product. Netflix is used for streaming like Kleenex is used for tissues. HBO could easily be the "generic" rebrand people reach for. Already known for high-quality TV, it's simple and self explanatory without having to ask, what does Paramount own again? What does Warner Brothers own? Plus and Max descriptions are 20th century marketing. Lose them or lose the business. IMHO 😎

    @analydiamonaco @hbomax @LG0_Hendrixxx So sorry to leave something so ominous under your work! Lol I'm currently developing a series and we are getting a pitch deck together. Was trying to explain to my partner what these specific series Bible type documents look like, and yours is really good! Hence the tag

    @mangAman_vp @hbomax changing aspect ratio is intentional by the director. as fo bad quality thats just streaming in general compared to a disc

    TheGreatBabu (@TheGr8Babu) reported

    Hey @hbomax y’all need to fix your app! At the very least, add a restart option to episodic shows. Spoilers and having to hit rewind is just bad UX!

    @AEW @hbomax I just want my stupid $42.19. Please. I dont understand why this is such a hassle. I paid for a product that did not work. Times are too tough for me to just forget about 40 dollars. Can someone please help me out here? @TonyKhan ?

    @wbd @HBO @hbomax Congratulations! Thanks to you, the entire Harry Potter franchise has become a laughingstock. Every day there are mocking edits, and you don't care about these complaints at all! You're awful, absolutely awful!

    This is like a true CM punk weekend. Terrible stuff popping off to distract from fun events. Is anyone actually wrestling or is it just hot takes and outrage. Holy ****. Is #aewcollision on tonight. That would fun. Might be time to got #aew archives on @hbomax

    @hbomaxhelp I don’t believe it’s a technical issue. It’s just the crowd noise is louder than the announcers.

    @Sammycat41 @addievervale @hbomax subtitles are bad for me too. they’re always a few minutes ahead of whats actually happening on screen which is a shame. could just be a glitch for today because they just released it here? it might be better in a bit idk

    @claptonterrier hoomum just spent a frustrating day trying to get @hbomax to work. Got there in the end but it was a trial. 🤞for all others trying

    Dr P (@pm_phd) reported

    @hbomaxhelp @MMoneyCarson Your app is super frustrating. It gets stuck at the ad break and loops without moving on. Restarting is not a great fix. It seems like a glitch at your end, how about posting something helpful about this instead of making customers troubleshoot?

    @hbomax it sucks that I can only stream the @AEW ppvs on one device at a time. I work nights so it'd be nice to watch from work while my husband watches at home... 😒😒😒

    @hbomax stream freezes anytime I’m watching a live show immediately when it goes to commercials. Need to exit and watch live to fix it. This on a Fire TV product.
