HBO Max: Stream TV & Movies App Reviews

"continue watching" feature is broken

it tells me Im only partway through shows that I have completed weeks ago. unnecessarily clutters the screen. I tried to turn off the continue watching feature but it still displays.

ABSOLUTE POOOOP

I only have it one star because I cant give it a zero! SUPER glitchy! And the "free trial" turned out to be free at all! THIS APP IS CRAP! Do not recommend

Worst app I use every day

Bad interface and bad chrome cast implementation, but the content is the best. Incredibly frustrating to use.

someones gotta fix something out there

for the last half hour Ive been restarting my chromecast and Internet and the apps. connecting and disconnecting the stream sending the stream to the chromecast and then just getting error message after error message. I read the bad reviews and though well Im a relatively tech savy person and people generally like to complain Ill give it a shot. but I cant fix whats completely broken. it just will not work no matter what angle I come at it with. unless theres some amazing update its Guna be a no for me. such a bummer I was very willing to give you my $15 bucks a month too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Will not work with my Apple TV

I purchased the subscription last year for my favorite series, then cancelled after the season, now I have subscribed again, and for a month now, it has been allowing me about 10 seconds, then my Apple TV restarts, and this happens over and over. I do not have this problem with any other subscriptions on my Apple TV. Fix the problem!

HBO made this way too complicated

All I want to do is give them my money so I can watch Game of Thrones. You cant get a subscription on your computer, though. You have to download their app on your iPhone, then subscribe through the app, then get back on you computer and sign in, then download another app. What is the point?

WAAAAAAAACKK!!!!!

What is up with the "audio only" feature? Its a movie, Im tryna watch and just because Im not connected to wifi or my "signal isnt strong enough"? I cant watch it??? Are you serious!

App charged me 14.99 still crashes.

Even though I got charged the app crashes every tim3 I try to watch it. I reported it needs applied for refund, it seems even if I cancel the subscription it will just be there for the month, no refunds.Fix the app attest or refund me.

All went well...

HBO Now app install and account setup went smoothly on iPad. Also setup to run on FireTV by downloading the app and then simply entering my HBO Now account name/email and password. Husband is happy he can watch HBO from his TV and me on iPad at our leisure.

Convenient

I access this app on my iPad Air 2. I use the app whenever Im away from home and I have never had a problem. I normally access HBO Now on my Apple TV and have never had any glitches there either. This app certainly and by far beats watching hotel TV!

HBO Latino

One of my favorite programs on HBO Latino (via cable) is a Brazilian film dubbed in Spanish. Here they only show the original Portuguese with Spanish subtitles, or Spanish with English subtitles. I just want my show, with the voices and characters Im used to, in the way Im used to seeing and hearing it.

Latest update did not fix the sign in issue

Im currently subscribed with the free 30 month trial. I am able to sign into one of my devices (AppleTv) and unable to sign in on other devices, such as my iPhone. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Needs better Chromecast support

Streaming service works without any problems. Search results are fast and accurate when trying to locate a movie or show. My only gripe so far is chromecast support. Im able to stream a show easily to my TV, but the second my phone goes to sleep, the app resets and it loses connection to my chromecast. The movie is still streaming, but Ive lost the ability to pause, rewind, etc. I have to resync which then stops the movie entirely. Four star app...would have been five stars if chromecast streaming worked properly.

Unable to log in!!

I signed up for the monthly service and now Im unable to login. The MDA app doesnt provide any useful FAQs or contact info to resolve issues. Also, I selected the "forgot password" and never received an email to reset my account. Useless

Nice app

Thanks! Love being able to see my HBO shows without needing a cable provider

Terrible

Only using because I love HBO. This app is almost unusable. Not compatible with PS4 so I use chromecast and the remote barely works. You can only put on one episode of a show and the app disconnects from your phone. No auto play or option to change to the next ep because the app crashes and though the playback is fine on the tv, the app disconnects every time I exit the app or my phone goes to sleep. Very frustrating.

The Worst User Experience of any Streaming Service and Most Expensive

Just awful software. The fact that it is this terrible still, after it and HBO Go have been around for years, is astounding. I cancelled my Now subscription out of frustration, although probably only temporarily. The shows are great but Im not going to pay $15 for broken software, with crashes, freezes, terrible user experience, and random network problems (like low def streaming on my 150mbps connection). At least fix the Real Time page so I dont have to scroll through 40 episodes to watch the latest one when December rolls around.

Love HBO, hate the app

Love HBO Now, Im so glad theyve made this program. However the app is constantly crashing, lagging, or bugging, and it rarely remembers where youve left off in shows. Its the same on iPhone and the Xbox One app as well. Hoping future updates will improve the viewing experience.

Had since day one

The app works great some problems early on but shaped up to perfect and even switches from app to fire tv right where you left off.

Worked after a day of issues

Initially it told me that I needed to renew my subscription to view content. I had never used this app prior to this. It started working about 3 days later. The app has been very good since then. Playback control is fantastic. Quality is high. I would recommend this to anyone.
