    @WordsOfSage @HBOMaxHelp It's definitely an issue on their end but they put you through the whole song and dance of "turn it off and on again and check your internet connection" lol. Idk what the deal is. I'm also not having an issue with other apps or other devices.

  • theish0w theiso (@theish0w) reported

    @hbomax why do your platform takes so damn ******* long do load up? fix this ****

  • JBFletcher88 Queen Leigh (@JBFletcher88) reported

    I would say the biggest flaw of Julia is that you miss about a fifth of it from the skipping of the @hbomax app. It’s honestly insane HBO. Fix your damn app. Yours is the outlier. Management should be fired by now.

  • Amylouhoo Amy Bloch (@Amylouhoo) reported

    Why does @hbomax never work on Apple TV?! I just wanna watch Batman. Let me liveeeee

  • solidly_fluid hj.etage 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 RENEW OFMD (@solidly_fluid) reported

    @michellethefan @hbomax I know we paraphrase these things every day on the bird app but I can’t help it

  • Everydaytori Everydaytori (@Everydaytori) reported

    @US_FDA wow. Just watched @hbomax #notsopretty. You guys need to step up and regulate beauty/cosmetic/hair industries, seriously. Apparently I can’t trust you to do it & I’ve downloaded apps to do it myself. My son was using soap that could cause reproductive issues. #doyourjob

  • SpideymanThe1st Nabous (@SpideymanThe1st) reported

    @hbomax fix your goddamn ****** app's UX!

  • JamieDurward Jamie White (@JamieDurward) reported

    @nomad_724 @hbomax @AppleTV can't even be used on Fire. Apple needs a lot of work to be worth having even with some great programming.

  • KathleenRubick Kathleen Rubick (@KathleenRubick) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m trying to watch it through the app on a Google smart TV. Every time I start the movie, it’s does this weird glitchy thing & then if I rewind a minute Or so I can get through that scene but then it does it again 2 minutes later. I can watch all the shows & movies no problem…

  • dallasguy2 Calvin Simpson (@dallasguy2) reported

    Everyone is piling on @netflix today, trashing their quantity over quality, churning out trashy reality crap and stuff that's forgotten in 2 weeks. And the fact that each ep of the upcoming season of "Stranger Things" cost $30 million. They should watch some @hbomax. Then copy.

  • nomad_724 Rah (@nomad_724) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have 5 Apple Tvs and it doesn't work well on any of them. Not entirely sure what uninstalling & reinstalling will do when this seems to be an issue with the App itself since this is occurring on all 5 devices. Constant freezing, playing watched episodes, showing black screen

  • Chuckles5504 Pat (@Chuckles5504) reported

    @FlightAttendant @hbomax 2/2 I wish they would have showed her character addressing her issues after she woke up to a dead man. Instead she keeps repeating the same crazy, whorish behavior. I’m new to the show but I really hope that they take the character of Cassie in a better direction, clean her up

  • FarisMD16 Faris MD (@FarisMD16) reported

    @wbd we need @hbomax here as soon as possible acknowledge us here in the Middle East and North Africa. So many loyal DC and HBO consumers who will never stop paying your subscription fee, we need HBOMAX quality content here. #HBOMaxMiddleEast

    What gives @hbomax loading problems

  • vanish_canvas sl0ppy bunz (@vanish_canvas) reported

    @comeand_CEEx9 @hbomax The hbo max app is one of the worst pieces of technology our kind has ever seen. I have never in my life been so inconvenienced lol

  • ToddVenable Todd Venable (@ToddVenable) reported

    You @hbomax I need help

  • cathynhouston Cathy Walton (@cathynhouston) reported

    @FlightAttendant @hbomax If you liked the book, don’t waste your time on this terrible series. It blows

  • WTF_BUCK BUCK🦁 (@WTF_BUCK) reported

    @hbomax fix y’all damn audio.

  • Sabine4242 Heather C. Jackson (@Sabine4242) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @JenniferEdward Ditto, every app and method of playing @hbomax is giving errors or bouncing out to a login page.... What's going on?!!?

  • nomad_724 Rah (@nomad_724) reported

    Why did they ruin the @hbomax app for the apple tv? It was fine because it actually worked. Now it's so unstable and almost unusable. Way to mess up something that wasn't broken

  • gadieltorres615 #ReleaseTheAyerCut 🇵🇷 (@gadieltorres615) reported

    @JakesTakes @hbomax I have to login every time I try to use it on my playstation

  • ESCunningham Elliott Cunningham (@ESCunningham) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp is anyone available to help me with your app? LOVE the content, HATE the buggy app!

  • WordsOfSage The Sage (@WordsOfSage) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I'm using the Roku Ultra. No error messages.

  • KathleenRubick Kathleen Rubick (@KathleenRubick) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can also watch it without any issues on my phone but that doesn’t do this movie any justice.

  • comeand_CEEx9 junie b. jones❣️ (@comeand_CEEx9) reported

    @vanish_canvas @hbomax I notice sometimes the end of the season will play out of order & it won’t let me go back to choose another episode. Today it just is lagging really bad. Like takes the episode 5 minutes to buffer 🥹

  • ikristoph Kristoph (@ikristoph) reported

    @EugeneKaninchen @JohnDoeX100 @hbomax There are millions of people using HBOMax on PS4. If everyone had the problem it would blow up all over Twitter. We need to know what it is about your setup that is causing the problem, so we can fix it for you - signed: brain damaged monkey
