  • shadybrady1970 Master of the Buckhounds~Brady. (@shadybrady1970) reported

    @joelmd70 @Carmen50 @hbomax Good but it kind of makes me sick. Those people are just the worst. But I guess that’s the point.

  • i_kondor17 Ian (@i_kondor17) reported

    @hbomax fix your god damn subtitles. This is a warning

  • KandersonUS Kyle Anderson (@KandersonUS) reported

    @hbomax Hey, maybe also fix your Android app so we can actually watch this on Chromecast.

  • KiMasten Kim Masten (@KiMasten) reported

    Why is the @hbomax app so TERRIBLE!!

  • missxochantel 🍑Chantel (@missxochantel) reported

    I feel like @hbomax is some elite psychological test designed just to never work, stress us out & mess with our minds

  • shoobaveli •M (@shoobaveli) reported

    @hbomax please fix your control figure ( pause , fwd & rewind ) as well get rid of that annoying clicker sound. Please and thanks

  • mikeberry26 mike (@mikeberry26) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp PS4. It’s almost impossible to rewind, fast-forward or pause. I get screens that say “sorry there has been an error playing this movie” while the movie is still playing in the background. This happens almost every time I watch. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times.

  • johncontino5911 John Contino (@johncontino5911) reported

    @hbomax your app is awful

  • guseeghosts ǵ̷̛̕u̶̢ş͜ (@guseeghosts) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp when yall gonna fix the god awful subtitles on ps4?? there's like a 2 seconds delay on everything i try to watch

  • GaymerCam GaymerCam (@GaymerCam) reported

    Why does @TheCW force people to use an app that is completely broken? You take @stargirl_cw away from @hbomax then make it so we have to dredge through the worst user experience. Put your content on HBOMax. #designfail

  • poetagris Jorge Luis Suárez (@poetagris) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax what happened to my stream service? I reported the issue with the app in the @roku device almost 2 weeks ago and no answer. Ive seen a lot of people with the same problem. Whats wrong??

  • CoachJMort Jacob Morton (@CoachJMort) reported

    .@hbomax fix your app

  • iNZANE0ne iNZANE (@iNZANE0ne) reported

    @ItsZaeOk Yeah but honestly **** @hbomax. Held together by bubblegum on PS4. Can't pause, can't play, can't rewind, can't fast forward, boots you out of the app all the time, runs slow, genuinely awful.

  • llamalama llamalama (@llamalama) reported

    @hbomax I've had to cancel my subscription because videos won't play. You having server issues? It's been weeks and there is nowhere to get help online. I like you guys too :(

  • the_1st_mimzee MIMZ (@the_1st_mimzee) reported

    @brentdeems @hbomax I haven’t watched it on tv for a while. Haven’t had issues from my phone recently but yes that is annoying for sure.

  • HuberKMUW Jon Huber (@HuberKMUW) reported

    @samcconnell @hbomax @Roku But. Yeah. It should just work!

  • vbsunshine1 Mrs. Sunshine 🌞 Shoes (@vbsunshine1) reported

    @HBO @hbomax Shane is the WORST!

  • ChrisBu97887481 chris (@ChrisBu97887481) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @PopBlastNoah Yeah im having issues on my iPod

  • Roger_Pena54 Roger Peña (@Roger_Pena54) reported

    It would be REALLY nice for $14.99 a month to be able to watch @hbomax on my TV using my @Roku stick instead of being forced to watch it on my iPad. Or I could cancel my subscription & watch the other streaming services I subscribe to with no problem. #HBOMaxSucks

  • StevensonMatt94 Matt Stevenson (@StevensonMatt94) reported

    Does @hbomax or @HBO suck for everyone on a fire stick? I’ve tried for a month now and I can’t even start a show. It only works on my phone which uses the same WiFi so the internet isn’t the issue.

  • S3FPablo Baba Yaga (@S3FPablo) reported

    @hbomax what’s up with y’all streaming, watching movies there’s always a lot of glitches and pauses happening. Get that fix

  • israeleon Israel León (@israeleon) reported

    I would love to work on the writer's room for the second season of #TheWhiteLotus @hbomax

  • itsbabyyyb mami (@itsbabyyyb) reported

    wow there’s so much **** I could watch on @hbomax IF THE APP WOULD EVER WORK

  • ynksphns Joe P (@ynksphns) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp why wont the app work on my roku anymore. I have Don everything I can think of and nothing works. Sometimes I get sound but no picture.

  • letloosemoose Michael (@letloosemoose) reported

    Hey, @hbomax Why does your Roku app suck *so* much? It is the worst bit of software I have interacted with in at least 5yrs

  • sonicman420 Sonicman420 (@sonicman420) reported

    @hbomax out Samsung smart tv is having difficulties downloading the update. We were wondering if you could help?

  • joelmd70 Fully vaxxed. And you should be too (@joelmd70) reported

    @shadybrady1970 @Carmen50 @hbomax Yes. That’s what threw me off initially. But once I realized that, I viewed it differently. Never had a show where I wish terrible things on almost all of the characters.

  • CassieJAllDay CassieJ (@CassieJAllDay) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yeah fix that fast forward and rewind problem . Stay freezing fam

  • svccessloading 🛫 (@svccessloading) reported

    @hbomax is ****. I canceled after a month. The fast forward and rewind doesnt even work. And the app is way too slow and glitchy

  • bouttejd Kalrock (@bouttejd) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp looks like HBO max is experiencing issues. I’ve been experiencing “Not in Service Area” today. I’m in Texas and not using a VPN. I see others are experiencing the same. What’s up and when will this get fix @HBOMaxHelp?
