    @hbomax @Roku Fix your app on Xfinity X1! No multiple profiles, no add to list, no continue watching, and you can’t even exit something once you start watching it! The only way to exit a show/movie is to back out of the entire app!

  • Proletariat_J Jacob (@Proletariat_J) reported

    @RokuSupport Thanks support. I don't understand how your link worked and the one I used via Roku login wasn't. Cheers,

  • MikeIsReal 𝙰𝚍𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚜 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝙼𝚒𝚔𝚎 @𝙷𝚘𝚖𝚎 (@MikeIsReal) reported

    @hbomax How do I sign into the Roku app? I'm not seeing a account sign in.

  • bisexualluigi 🍭 💀 Emily 🕸️ 🎃 (@bisexualluigi) reported

    @jim_haack @hbomax @Roku Ok Mr darth baby yoda Honestly just look through the replies and the tag; a /lot/ of people are actually having issues with the app crashing. Seems it wasn't very well optimized for roku. Not every complaint is a karen complaint my dude.

  • GanjaGirlsGuide Anna (@GanjaGirlsGuide) reported

    @hbomax what’s going on with the app crashing on #roku? First day this app is finally available and it doesn’t work, cool.

  • skyfilms177 Shelby (@skyfilms177) reported

    HBO Max finally arriving on Roku is the absolute worst thing that could have happened for my productivity. Why be a person when I can just lay in bed and watch Doctor Who all day?

  • MatthewDiebel Matthew Diebel (@MatthewDiebel) reported

    @Roku hi. I have a new streaming stick, which replaced one that did not work. Now this one doesn’t work either. I am COMPLETELY frustrated. No phone support. Pls help!!!!!

  • tgebkV2 Travis (@tgebkV2) reported

    @Roku your customer service sucks. In your website the links and pages to navigate don’t even work. This is disappoint and beyond imaginable.

  • cpoliticditto connectpoliticditto. (@cpoliticditto) reported

    @PreetiRachel I have a Roku TV and HBO Max didn’t work with it for awhile, so I just...didn’t watch anything. No need to make a list but I’d gladly take 1 or 2 suggestions!

  • TyrellBradshaw2 Tyrell Bradshaw (@TyrellBradshaw2) reported

    Well it’s official I’ve tried everything but this stupid @TCL_USA @Roku TV is broken after two years it just goes to **** randomly...bet catch me never purchasing from y’all again. I’m looking for a new QUALITY smart TV if anyone has any recommendations

  • Tiger_Lifer Detroit Tigers Minor League Tracker (@Tiger_Lifer) reported

    @Stefaniya @hbomax Any success with this yet? Also an AT&T user who is unable to login via Roku.

  • aldersonberkman diana | percy jackson era (@aldersonberkman) reported

    is HBO Max not working for anyone else with a Roku or is it just me

  • EmJayTee4 EmJayTee (@EmJayTee4) reported

    @hornets can you please ask your crew to work on getting the games to fans? @FOXSportsGOHelp not working on app or Roku tv.

  • JUULianApostate JUULianApostate (@JUULianApostate) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp It’s great in theory that you’re available on Roku now, but your Roku app is so slow and laggy it’s near unusable. The UX is definitely not ready for primetime. Hope you fix soon in update. Pro-tip: speed > bells and whistles.

  • Atherworld Kevin Stern (@Atherworld) reported

    @Roku @hbomax Great, but there's no way to log into my HBOMax Account. And access my list of saved shows/movies. Or even save shows/moves to the Roku App Version. Nor are profiles available. Very bare bones. Can't wait for the update to fix these things.

  • EricJ_874 EJ (@EricJ_874) reported

    @LehnerStarr @Roku I'm having the same exact issue. Only a picture of an antenna when I click on the live tv option. Ran channel scans multiple times, antenna is connected properly. Please advise @RokuSupport

  • Bluecroissant7 C (@Bluecroissant7) reported

    @Roku @hbomax It’s not working. Doesn’t update my hbo app to hbo max. Pls advise.

  • lindazge Linda Ge (@lindazge) reported

    In case anyone else had this issue where you open HBO Max and it's just regular HBO content, you have to delete the regular HBO app from Roku and redownload HBO Max.

  • eee_lye_wray Eli 🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️ (@eee_lye_wray) reported

    Well. Unlike Hulu and Netflix, which both work fine in a browser on my chintzy laptop, HBO Max wont run smoothly there. It was fine a minute ago on the Roku in the other room. Laying down to try Pottery on my phone app for it.

  • Tigger2007 Sara (@Tigger2007) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I downloaded that app on roku but can't sign into my HBO max account. It's using my roku account to sign in.

  • fangirlfilesahj The Fangirl Files (@fangirlfilesahj) reported

    @hbomax @Roku Your sign in with codes is not working because Hulu is not listed as a provider and online instructions do not work. Are you fixing this?

  • Petaledfrogsock Frogsocks23 (@Petaledfrogsock) reported

    Was thinking about this because the funimation app on roku switched to spanish subtitles and wouldn't fix so we switched to watching on the Switch. The funimation Switch app is actually good and works!

  • drockification DJ°D-Rockification (@drockification) reported

    Spectrum app deleted from my Roku tv and cannot be found to be downloaded again is this some sort of outage? @Ask_Spectrum

  • Ballcbear1 Ballcbear (@Ballcbear1) reported

    @RossRaihala I am so done with roku and smart TVs. Over the years I’ve had app issues with my Samsung TVs and Blu-ray players and Roku aging beyond support. I’ve moved to Chromecast and so far have had better luck casting from my phone or iPad.

  • ghoulbasement Jayson Kennedy (@ghoulbasement) reported

    I mean, I've seriously heard cases of people buying entirely new TVs for built-in streaming apps just because buying a Roku or Firestick and pressing that button seemed too much work.

  • Tommy94382284 Tommy (@Tommy94382284) reported

    @RokuSupport @hbomax I figured out that I needed to remove the HBONow app before I could load the HBOMax app. Thankfully, I was recognized right away. Not everyone will know to do this, and Roku's Channel Store thought the "lesser" app was the "max-er" app. You want to fix that.

  • vilevampz Max🎃 (@vilevampz) reported

    @hbomax @Roku The app is available on my Roku TV but it doesn’t give me an option to sign in or choose a profile. Is this supposed to be like this or is that a glitch?

  • hoosierdaddytdh Ty Hall (@hoosierdaddytdh) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp love that you are on Roku! Have an account thanks to AT&T but the Roku app is not letting me login (only offering me to sign up via subscription). Please help so I can have access to your fabulous library of titles on Roku!

  • EmilyHarrisMWA Emily Harris (@EmilyHarrisMWA) reported

    @Roku sling is not working

  • AZRed65 🇺🇸AZ West Deplorable 🌟🌟🌟🇺🇸 (@AZRed65) reported

    .@hbomax - your signin info on the Roku is not working. It directs you to an hbonow link and there are no satellite providers. When I go to the hbomax link on help pages it won't accept the TV code. Little help!
