Have you used HBO Max recently? Aside from the first month or so it’s been nearly flawless for me across a variety of platforms (Roku/Chromecast/iPhone).
And the first month pains were very clearly because it was rushed out to time it with the release of certain IPs during the pandemic.
- mmcconnell1618 5y agoHBO Max on Apple TV is a terrible experience. The app doesn't appear to use the standard playback and navigation functions in most other Apple TV apps so you get unintuitive scrubbing behavior and inconsistent searching. Also, the app signs me out on a regular basis at random intervals. When this happens, you can still browse shows and click play but at that point you're interrupted with a "buy HBO Max" screen which is totally confusing. You have to manually navigate to the account, sign out, then sign back in and re-find the one episode you wanted to play.
- nr2x 5y agoTo be fair, Apple TV is a pretty terrible experience, especially regarding them trying to force users to give Tim Apple a cut of streaming subscriptions.
- dwighttk 5y agoHuh… hasn’t been terrible in my experience, but I’ve never been forced to give Tim Apple a cut of my streaming subscriptions.
- HWR_14 5y agoThey still don't have a way to turn off auto play for the next episode. That's a basic feature and they're missing it.
- nr2x 5y agoUse it regularly, and nearly always wish same content was on Netflix due to really awful compression artifacts I never see on Netflix.
