    @HBOMaxHelp when will you fix the zoom feature on iOS devices, I’m cancelling my HBO max subscription just because of it. Many others are also going to leave your platform if you don’t fix this issue, like who gets rid of a zoom feature. SMH

    @hbomax you guys still blaming this buffering crap on my router? Lol every other streaming service works great. I won’t be paying for this much longer if you don’t fix it soon. 2 months and I’m gone. Hope many more follow suit. That’s all.

    @HBODocs @hbomax NOW I'M FORCED TO LIVE IN PAIN EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. YOU PEOPLE AND THOSE PEOPLE ALL SUCK AND DESERVED TO DIE ABUSIG THEIR MEDICATIONS. THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES. THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME WITH THE PAIN I HAVE NOW.

  • runako runako (@runako) reported

    The @hbomax iOS app could use a performance-tuning pass. Definitely the laggiest, crappiest video player I use. Have to assume they are just cheap and won't pay for the engineering expertise to fix it.

    @BreatheNewWinds @hbomax Yes HBO is no good on my Samsung smart tv or my Apple TV. It’s a HBO problem I think.

  • JimMorphew Jim Morphew (@JimMorphew) reported

    @gabrielben @hbomax It is a terrible movie; people that like it are truly starved for any kind of entertainment.

  • AdamHebert3434 Crafty Big Guy (@AdamHebert3434) reported

  • WindyLindhy Windy Lindhy (@WindyLindhy) reported

    Trying to watch some episodes of Game of Thrones on @hbomax and the quality is garbage and it keeps freezing... Feels just like the night they first aired.

  • JayAnthonySins JayAnthonySins (@JayAnthonySins) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Sure. Except I have no interest in waiting my time. Look for yourselves on the numerous Reddit and other threads. There are many people sick of being told@to restart our awesome routers and you guys blaming it on our network and updates when none of your “solutions” work.

  • WindyLindhy Windy Lindhy (@WindyLindhy) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Just tried again. Quality definitely better but TBD if it needs to keep buffering every few minutes.

  • EvanCooney Evan (@EvanCooney) reported

    HBO plus has an atrocious user face. The sign in for any device other the laptop you made the profile is so broken. Get it together @hbomax I don’t need to use your product.

  • noahclipper1 Dodger nation (@noahclipper1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Because my my Samsung smart TV is not a Apple TV I am not able to get any 4K capabilities instead because I have a Samsung smart TV is capable of high high high definition quality stuff of I’m not able to get 4K stuff so when you have same stuff going to theaters and same

  • ImmaBlueDot Connie Vaxxed & Masked No Lists Please (@ImmaBlueDot) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thank you! LG Smart TV. It often takes two attempts to get HBO Max or Netflix fired-up. Figured it was a Comcast issue.

  • SaltyCrip I’ve Got Questions (@SaltyCrip) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @BreatheNewWinds You still haven’t fixed the lag issue since the iOS 14.5 update on Apple products

  • leftistuwus red menace (@leftistuwus) reported

    hey @HBOMaxHelp, why are episode descriptions misspelled, incomplete, or otherwise unfinished? this is a problem i have noticed w/ many titles. i have dm'd examples and would appreciate some proofreading in the future!

  • SammyRob18 Sam (@SammyRob18) reported from Kenosha County, Wisconsin

    @HBOMaxHelp would be nice if the shows I’m trying to watch had sound. Streaming on the app on a @Samsung tv has nothing but problems
