HBO Max Customer Insights

1. Nothing's perfect but there are several streaming apps out there that almost never have these kinds of issues.After the most recent update to the app, it has been extremely difficult to watch anything using our smart TVs with this app.

2. Additionally, you need to reformat shows that have black bars on the top and bottom to go full screen if the device has the screen real estate.

3. Just no devices are listed under "connect to:" field.Take forever to connect, pauses often, and for some bizarre reason, when we try to watch Game of Thrones, it randomly plays in Spanish, even though the intro is in English.

4. I'd love to keep my subscription but I may have to set out to sea 🏴Out of all the video streaming apps, this is easily the worst for streaming via Chromecast to my TV.

5. HBOMAX works fine on my TV, so it's a streaming issue on the phone app.

6. I am terribly disappointed with the issues that the app has and hope HBOmax figures out a fix so that users don't get interrupted so much during use.A recent update broke casting functionality.

7. I'm losing 20% watching titans dude to the wide screen bars, my phone screen has more than enough room to format full screen.

8. All other apps are working fine, so it's not a wifi problem.

9. Got a pretty good amount of high quality shows but you NEED picture in picture and a "skip recap" button.

10. Other casting-enabled apps discover it just fine.

11. Ridiculous!This past week whenever I pull up the app on my phone it says there is no internet connection.
