Chromecast support is very buggy

Need better Chromecast support. Plz fix those bugs. Thx!

Horrible!

Just plain horrible

TERRIBLE

Its always buffering. ALWAYS BOOTING MEVOUT. I literally am spending about 45 minutes to watch San Andreas where that is way too much effort for that movie. Honestly save your money. I cant believe HBO. Cant do streaming. They can do the blame game all they want. But this doesnt happen with Netflix or Amazon. "Loading please wait" NIGHTMARE

Will not even open on my iPad.

Total theft of $15. Will not open and gives an error message that user name and password are incorrect.

Its a very awesome app!

HBO Now has a lot of good movies!

What a Triumph!

If you are looking for an interesting way to piss away $15 a month, you have found it. I was skeptical after reading a few reviews just like you, but I thought "hey, surely it isnt THAT bad. Much to my chagrin, I was proven wrong. This program is so awful, that the only explanation for it is that HBO made it this way on purpose! Constant freezing and constant "playback issues" are just a few of the sanity warping irritations you have to look forward to with this gem! Lighting the $15 on fire would be a better use of the fee. At least then you could keep warm for a few seconds (which is about the duration of a steady streaming video on this app). Dont be like me fellow streamer, make the right choice. Keep looking. Bravo HBO on this true feat of content streaming blasphemy.

No free trial (as offered)

I just got a Roku and signed up for the HBO Now free month trial. Every time I try to watch anything, it demands I purchase a month for $14.99. Its not just demanding I add a a credit card, mind you--this would make sense--its demanding I buy the service. What happened to the free month?

Not sure how this shipped.

Terrible video app. The content is fine, but the app and Chromecast support is absolutely terrible, Im surprised it shipped. The app loses Chromecast connection each time it goes to sleep or the app exits, so you cant control the video. The continue watching is also rarely correct, asking me to continue watching a show I watched ages ago. Bad enough that the content is not worth the horrible experience.

Worst App for Chromecast!

This is the worst app I have ever used for Chromecast. PLEASE fix!

This app its the worst ever.

App cant stay connected when my phone is standby,so I cant stop movies.

Locked my account

Initially subscribed to HBO NOW through our AppleTV. Afterwards downloaded and installed the app on my iPad. Clicked restore subscription through iTunes. Wouldnt accept my login credentials. Eventually locked my account. This is what you get for $15 per month. Its amateur hour, folks. My wife and I were really looking forward to watching the Season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones. We got nothing.

Great app

Took the time to make a new account pay for a subscription got charged and then wouldnt let me access my account so I thought maybe I can reset the password and itll fix it did this several times and never got an email to do so

Wont let me start a subscription

The app will not let me pay $14.99 to begin a subscription. Gives me an error window when I click the button. Probably not worth my money anyway.

Terrible service

If you want to watch a frozen screen, this is the app for you. I thought that in the last year HBO would be able to get their act together, but obviously not.

No complaints at all

Great app on iPhone and PC. Ive had no problems whatsoever with anything. The only people that write reviews are the ones with problems while the ones that have none are silent. THIS APP IS GREAT.

Finally its Here!

Very happy with the app. Not sure about the other reviews but so far, I have had zero issues. I like the 10sec fast forward/rewind features. Still needs a few more features added like subtitles. Im sure the devs will get it done. Good stuff overall.

App is Horrid

Poor Subscription model. App is buggy and slow. Apple has horrible customer service on this app. I only get it because I have no other way of getting HBO. I hope HBO comes out with a way to purchase through them instead of a third party, similar to how spodify does it. Another example of how it is cheaper and better service directly from the provider.

Frustrating!

Freezes every few minutes and you have to exit app and restart and does not register where you left off movie/tv show when this happens. While streaming new episodes released "loading, please wait" interrupt every few seconds. WTH!!

Terribly disappointing

Ive lost video stream 6x during a Game of Thrones episode and Im not even halfway onto the episode. My signal is fine. I use my personal wifi and an iPad Pro. Netflix, Hulu, Comedy Central all stream wonderfully. HBO streams as if it stands for Half Baked Operation. This is starting to become the norm for HBO. Please tell me why I should continue to pay monthly for a substandard streaming service?

Terrible Quality

I dont usually leave reviews, but Ill make an exception for this. As soon as the free trial runs out, Im unsubscribing. I wouldve thought HBO would have learned by now about fixing their terrible streaming quality after HBO GO and since this service has been out for a year now.
