    @HBOMaxHelp Your new Xbox app release is terrible. It even crashes my Xbox on occasion and forces reboot. It's funny. I even got this email before it's release saying how awesome it was gonna be, and it was nothing but a ruined ******.

  • IsidroAburto pio.tab (@IsidroAburto) reported

    @hbomax your app is the slowest platform compared with Netflix and Amazon, if you got problems with the app why don't you fix it

  • CaseyMoore CaseyMoore (@CaseyMoore) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Keep getting “Network error” message. Only happens with @hbomax, no other services.

    @SwedenSara If the good ppl at @hbomax would see fit to give us a script book, that would help us suss this out 🤨

  • 515am d goslee (@515am) reported

    @hbomax the color on this is still incorrect, running HDR through SDR pipeline. I would be embarrassed if it took longer than a week to fix

  • rockphantom Max Go (@rockphantom) reported

  • chizzzzo Cher (@chizzzzo) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I had a great customer service rep helping me, but y’all need to fix how you’re doing things behind the scenes. I wasted $ double paying and it should be so easy to fix this kind of issue.

  • KyleeCarterrr_ Kylee (@KyleeCarterrr_) reported

  • venividiflevi 🌻Miss Anne Thrope🌻 (@venividiflevi) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp This app freezes and closes no matter where I've used it. On iPad, on fire stick, on new smart tv, literally everywhere. HBO GO never even glitched. Why change it when it wasn't even broken? What a waste of money.

  • Miss_Sailorette no rain, no flowers (@Miss_Sailorette) reported

    The @hbomax app is the second worst app on my firestick following @paramountplus.

  • Booooozle Booooozle (@Booooozle) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yeah nope, that didn’t work, still getting the “you’re offline check connection” & can’t play this video right now 😑

  • JasonUAW Jason (@JasonUAW) reported

    @StarrMexiemary @hbomax Me too, I just took another at home test. I'm still showing positive and feel terrible.

  • taehyungyeji judith⁷ 💞 (@taehyungyeji) reported

    uhh @hbomax help?? cant even find anything about this online😭

  • Bconman44 conman3 (@Bconman44) reported

    @hbomax Could you put 4k ultra and Dolby atmos stuff on your app? You are by far the worst for 4k content. Your volume sucks also. I have to turn my surround sound way up just to hear your movies

  • youthoughtIsay Saying what u think (@youthoughtIsay) reported

    @hbomax you need to fix your autoplay since you updated your app. It starts playing next episode with 30 seconds left in the episode.

    @oswinscIaras @brutal4you @hbomax help😭

  • CoonDoogle CoonDoogle (@CoonDoogle) reported
