  • triggatnizzle Maverick (@triggatnizzle) reported

    does anyone else have major problems with their @hbomax just pausing in the middle of shows and won’t resume unless you completely restart the app????

  • parisian_nicole Parisian Nicole (@parisian_nicole) reported

    @hbomax why must I sign in everyday when I open your app? Frustrating! 😒

  • micelli_di Matt Di Micelli (@micelli_di) reported

    @hbomax click into it, and then finally select the right episode.... way too much work and time wasted! Also, what is the "plus sign" button on all the pages? There's absolutely no indication as to what it does. Some explanation is needed.

  • JoanReilly Joan Reilly (@JoanReilly) reported

    @hbomax @HBO Even though it supposedly premiered on 1/16, it does not seem to be available to stream yet. (?!) Is that problem just with the hulu version? I am so looking forward to seeing it.

  • CaveatPeritum 🍊The Expert🍊 (@CaveatPeritum) reported

    @DCComics @DCpeacemaker @hbomax Sound went out on the HBO app for XBox. Headphones work but the app is broken.

  • FrendzHuggalo Austin WesleyMcClure (@FrendzHuggalo) reported

    @hbomax Mare of Easttown is. The worst show you people have created. Do not renew it...or get a better screenplay writer. Season one is trash.

  • KaptenUsling Kapten Usling (@KaptenUsling) reported

    Hi there @hbomax , is it very complex to add a trailer button? Its a bit tedious to have to go to @YouTube for that. Not that i have anything against YouTube but i thought since the films/series are on your service it could not be that hard to fix a trailer button.

  • mackid1122 Dan (@mackid1122) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Sent a series of detailed DMs about how a) your app is definitely broken b) other apps aren't, and c) wtf did you even do to break this, like, you must be doing some serious hackery in your app code to break the default audio device on Android. It's called default for a reason!

  • frantzcayo Frantz R Cayo (@frantzcayo) reported

    I’ve been trying to be nice but @hbomax is a very challenging service. That’s being kind. The worst part is that they continue to blame my T1 internet service as the problem. Come on. Do better.

  • mackid1122 Dan (@mackid1122) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Why doesn't Bluetooth audio work on your Android TV app? (Nvidia Shield) Works perfectly in literally every other app but HBO Max ignores Bluetooth audio and routes it via HDMI. Please fix it, you're doing non-standard stuff in your app code that must be breaking it.

  • ga_nj_2012 Hutch (@ga_nj_2012) reported

    How did I not know that #TheLongHalloween was on @hbomax?!? Finally a way to get a bit of a @JensenAckles fix.

  • kelseyoleksak Kelsey (@kelseyoleksak) reported

    HBO Max is actually the worst subscription service known to man and I will die on this hill @hbomax @HBO delete yourself ugly

  • blee412 Ben Lee (@blee412) reported

    Hey @hbomax TOTALLY willing to concede user error here. But after S1, E2 on #Fringe, the app jumps to the end of E3, starts the next ep and jumps to the end, and on and on. Currently in E9 of this cycle. Thoughts?

  • Mateo_in_ATX Yesferatu In My Back Yard🌐🌮🚚🍦🕶💉💉 (@Mateo_in_ATX) reported

    Oh - and - this is a known bug. There are reddit forums about it. There are published articles about it. But somehow the problem from @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp is always - "have you run an update. . ." blah blah blah. . .

  • HBOMaxCaribbean HBO Max Caribbean (@HBOMaxCaribbean) reported

    @brownman198 Tagging @HBOMaxCASupport @HBOMaxHelp so they can investigate this issue.

  • t_berbs tyler, content creator (@t_berbs) reported

    @splungekik @hbomax worst surprise ever

  • Backpacking_B Backpacking B (@Backpacking_B) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Morning! Somebody recently opened an account and subscribed to HBO max using my email address. They then managed to verify the subscription, which is scary. Would you be able to help with getting this account shut down/bringing this rogue to justice? Thanks! Kerri

  • didel_phidae Carolina (@didel_phidae) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp we can't get movies to play on the PS4 app. Is there an outage? For some reason though, Peacemaker will play...

  • Yunus_El_Habibi Younes (@Yunus_El_Habibi) reported

    Is there any way for me to get @hbomax with a discount as an existing subscriber? My next billing is on January 28th, but that's already too late. Even if I cancelled it right now, I would still not be able to get HBO Max with a discount right? And do the discounts work with...

  • telmewhentocare TG (@telmewhentocare) reported

    @hbomax can you guys fix your app please?? I’m trying to watch a movie but every time I pause/rewind it it freezes and I have to refresh the page. Literally Every. Single. Time.

  • Camigroome Camilla Groome (@Camigroome) reported

    @hbomax fix your problems please.

  • larissa_maria04 larissa (@larissa_maria04) reported

    anyone else’s @hbomax not working? 😵‍💫

  • XTzio 222 (@XTzio) reported

    looks like everyone else's hbo is also tweaking, please FIX it @hbomax 😭

  • Ieahmariah leah 💫 (@Ieahmariah) reported

    @hbomax pick up glee please. i need my glee fix.

  • KandleMagick KandleMagick Games (@KandleMagick) reported

    It has come to our attention that @hbomax and @disneyplus are refusing to release physical dvds of their shows. This is a serious problem. I urge everyone to completely stop using their services ASAP. They have no right to to keep their fans from owning physical media.

  • Mateo_in_ATX Yesferatu In My Back Yard🌐🌮🚚🍦🕶💉💉 (@Mateo_in_ATX) reported

    So - I've been on the phone with @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp many times about this issue and they won't fix it - so welcome to a thread about what I have to do several times a week just to watch HBO Max (a service I have active account for). 1. Leave Movie or Show I can't watch.

  • xshadow23x Zippy (@xshadow23x) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Windows 10 PC via Chrome to a Chromecast-enabled Vizio TV. The timeout is too short, seems like 10 minutes. Keep the desktop alive for longer, and the phone too. I play/pause right before I step away to minimize the trouble.

  • hellomisshaley Haley Courtney (@hellomisshaley) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @geeez_louise No error code, the show either just cuts out mid-episode & my tv restarts (i’ve done all available troubleshooting), or the video will just freeze & the audio will keep going & i can’t pause/adjust, or i can’t restart after pausing without the app shutting down. Using a Roku tv.

  • JayTee1975 Jim Tovar (@JayTee1975) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Watching Looney Tunes Cartoons @CartoonsTunes with the fam but auto play isn't working and the last episode watched isn't being added to the continue watching menu. All other shows are. What's going on!!? It been like this for a couple of weeks. Need help. Thank you.
