The HBO MAX (aka just MAX now) in PS4 is just a disaster. Can't play videos anymore, as it gets stuck on a infinite loop in the intro of every movie.
It the remaining time is displayed as a negative integer, and for some reason the system just thinks the move is done and resets it to the beginning.
Seems like a bug that some very basic QA testing should have caught it.
The new rollout seems like a total clown show, and unfortunately it ruined the service and made it impossible for me to view movies, unless it is from a laptop.

I honestly didn't view HBO that much so I guess I'm up a few bucks. But it does occur to me that a failed first impression can result in lost business - like me. So if users are sitting on the fence, don't push them off! I suppose is the moral.
- fbdab103 3y agoBoth HBO and the Apple TV interfaces on Roku are shockingly poor. All sorts of glitches and annoyances with happy-path usage. It really feels like the designers are not using the product.
