I just want to say, fuck the shift to Max. Ignoring that making me download a new app for no reason for the same thing with basically the same UI is bullshit, especially for the worst rebrand of all time, the new version of the app doesn’t work and crashes constantly.
All to add a bunch of absolute dogshit content a five year old should be embarrassed to host on their personal YouTube channel. HBO was my single constant for multiple years, and I cancelled. On the plus side they put me in a survey on the switch I got to comment a lot on.
What’s really REALLY annoying is that the new version of the app has ALL The same bugs HBO max had when it launched. The audio desync when skipping intros, the timeouts on resuming paused content, the out of sync subtitles, the glitchy UI. It’s like they just reskinned the 1.0 launch of the old app from four years ago and called it a day.
I have it giving me some generic “please try again” error almost every time it does autoplay. The audio will keep going all night on my HomePod with the error up, too. I’m just done. I’m not wading through the trash content and just as bad software for them to take away the good HBO shows.
