    @hbomax #HBOMax What’s happening with this app on the Xbox Series X? It’s been glitchy for months now. Poor picture quality and lag in audio. Works fine on the firestick. Fix it! @HBOMaxHelp

  • CovalSpace Coval Space (@CovalSpace) reported

    @zcregger @hbomax The writing for this movie was terrible. A lot of aspects didn't add up and all of the characters were frustratingly clueless. The cinematography however was pretty impressive, nice use of colors and some really interesting fish-eye and first person shots. i give it 2/10

  • ShaunMP Errol McPherson (@ShaunMP) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @CVIKIS I have an OLED TV, which handles black really well and I struggle with some scenes. You really need to fix this.

  • kboot302 Tom Burke (@kboot302) reported

    @hbomax This app sucks. Half the time I try to use it to watch already downloaded content, it asks me to sign in to the internet to watch my ALREADY downloaded content. If I had a constant internet connection I wouldn't have to download content. I have texted, talked, chatted,

  • Rammad27 Richard Casillas (@Rammad27) reported

    @hbomax Can you please put a "remember me" at the login screen so i don't have to keep logging in a thousand times a day.

  • IrishSquanto89 Chris (@IrishSquanto89) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp The app will just black out when I'm watching a show where I have to back out and load it again. The skipping option is flat out ****** and skips too far into episodes where you gotta rewind and pray you don't land on an intro song or else it'll buffer and jump late into a show.

  • CreepyB4by Straight Shooter (@CreepyB4by) reported

    @hbomax Such an awful casting job. I don't even want to watch them take a giant **** on a game I enjoyed.

  • Presario700 C B (@Presario700) reported

    @zcregger @hbomax Worst two cops in cinematic history 🤬🤬🤬

  • carlimel87 Princess Leia hair goals (@carlimel87) reported

    @StephenSeanFord @hbomax Same on my FireTv stick. I’ve force stopped and cleared cache and seen improvement for a while but there are def loading issues.

  • Zaxon551 My cats are smarter then you (@Zaxon551) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Think I figured it out. May be the total of hulu plus hbomax. Still horrible way to present it. Think this is more @hulu issue.

  • hollybeat69 keith morris (@hollybeat69) reported

  • Poetswirl 🌈💔heartbreak in disguise (@Poetswirl) reported

    @dawnofeddy @PopCrave @hbomax Seriously bad. Am I supposed to listen to these two for 15mins go from rude to creeped out, to college friends. It's awful. Why should I put in the time? The dumb reasons they agreed to this shared....

  • AmyFaithLanc1 Nekella (@AmyFaithLanc1) reported

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax Pretty Please, learn to FIX YOUR LIGHTING. I quit watching on episode 3 because I could see what ******** was going on

    @HouseofDragon @hbomax Can you please fix the close up shots of people riding the dragons they look so fake

  • chd C.H.U.D. Woodford 👽 (@chd) reported from Los Angeles, California

    The only thing that MacOS Ventura seems to have broken is @hbomax. Doesn't work in Safari or Chrome (audio-only playback, constantly being logged out, etc.)

  • HitZnWinZ HitZnWinZ (@HitZnWinZ) reported

    @HBO @hbomax This show is awful

  • rammerjam whit (@rammerjam) reported

    @jb_kg_sg @hbomax @HBO They have a serious editing problem.

  • HedleyLuna Hedley Luna (@HedleyLuna) reported

    @hbomax is by far the worst streaming service of all time. It’s not even worth the subscription.

  • ItsOnlyLayla ItsOnlyLayla (@ItsOnlyLayla) reported

    @zcregger @hbomax Ngl was so stoked to watch this based on the preview. Absolutely disappointed. One of the worst movies I've seen in a while.

  • jakeniehaus Jake Niehaus (@jakeniehaus) reported

    Barbarian (2022) is great, but WOW @hbomax’s streaming quality is god awful. Towards the end it felt like I was watching a QuickTime movie on a dial up connection.

  • JordanGropp Jordan Gropp (@JordanGropp) reported

    @MissKlept @chrissyteigen @hbomax is the absolute WORST for this! How in the heck can they make it this hard?? So glad it’s not just me, but I hear this all the time. Just appalling they haven’t figured this out yet 💔 I avoid them bc I hate navigating the platform.
