Used to be great. Now it crashes more than 60 percent of the time. Too bad. And it cant keep what youre watching in progress. Really a tech disgrace. Wake up, HBO, but of course no one there cares.
HBO GO: Stream with TV Package App Reviews
Poor App
Opens up to a blank screen. Needs plenty of work!
Entourage the movie
Please PUT BACK ENTOURAGE THE MOVIE!
Come on HBO
It doesn’t allow me to even sign in, just keeps rejecting, my directv account even though I pay for it. Literally a waste of time and space on my phone:/
Needs A LOT of work
Way too many bugs considering you guys make money hand over first subscriptions. The functionality of HBO go should be on par with Netflix....not light years behind it. This app is rated 2 stars. Step your game up.
IPhone version stinks-
I can’t stand the version for the iPhone, and how it presents movie choices by showing two at a time, making one scroll through the whole list of movies! What a pain! How about giving the option of showing a whole panel of movies at one time so it’s easier to view a whole list of them and scroll through?
No Apple TV registration online?!?
Pretty ridiculous that I need the app to register my Apple TV especially since I have to do it every couple weeks.
As bad an App as Ive ever tried to use
Ive spent quite a bit of time with AT&T U-Verse making sure that YES I am subscribed to HBO and YES my iPhone account is sufficient to use the app. FINALLY the app let me in but I had server problems from AT&T. Ive waited 30 minutes as requested by AT&T tech support to sign in and the app has thrown me back to square one saying Im not a subscriber to HBO contact AT&T. Worthless app. Im done.
Terrible streaming quality
Media is unwatchable. Its always buffering. Cant get a steady stream ever.
Horrible location awareness
The HBO GO app thinks that IP addresses in Orlando, Florida are outside the US. This keeps the app from working.
Come on HBO
Why cant I download when Im on wifi so I can watch on a plane or just where I dont want to use cellular data? Other services do it, whats the deal?
The question with no answer:
Why, oh why isnt there a "continue watching" category. It seems like the most obvious thing in the world in a streaming app, but apparently it is not. Every time you open the app on AppleTV or on iOS (sometimes the iOS version shows a "continue watching" tab on the bottom of the screen, but not always) you have to search for what you are watching. Also, the iOS app frequently crashes and you have to go through the entire process again.
Doesn’t like chromecast
It randomly disconnected while streaming. Now it is saying I have too many devices streaming and won’t let me connect. I deleted the app and tried again and it still shows where I was watching and when I click to resume it thinks I’m on a new device and won’t play.
Nice black screen
Great app if you want to stare at a black screen. Does HBO even care that most of their customers have iPhones? No version in the past few years has worked and this version is just a black screen. I’d like to rate zero stars because 1 is too many. HBO needs to stay away from iOS or hire developers that aren’t in a coma.
Pretty consistently not awesome
Works great occasionally, but more often than not the app will freeze or shut down. I agree with others that the compatibility with chrome cast is abysmal at best. Running on an iPhone 6s+ on the most recent operating system.
Update Fail
The update was supposed to fix issues with Chromcast but now I can’t get it to play at all. As soon as I try to connect it gives me an error and the app crashes.
Buggy as hell
It is so frustrating to use this app to watch anything. It constantly freezes. Come on HBO! Use that GOT money to make a half way decent app. Geez!
App user interface is terrible
I used to use this app on my iPad a lot. Now I check it to see if the UI has been fixed. It hasnt. Please go back to the landscape mode you had before. The videos play fine but the app forces you to scroll too long through huge pictures for shows. It used to be better. Why did you ruin it? Nothing has been fixed besides not allowing us to log into HBOGO on our Smart TV. Way to make everything worse.
Good.
VERY SLOW! The app takes forever to open then it takes even longer for the show to load and start. Even stops while watching, multiple times. The app is good but its getting tiring having to continuously close and reopen the app so it can play a show.
Garbage!
This app is by far the worst streaming media app I have ever used. It is clunky and unintuitive. It constantly logs me out and signing back in is an extremely annoying process. It constantly forgets where I am in an episode when I can’t finish it and you may as well forget picking up where you left off when you switch to a different device. Whoever designed this app for them does not even deserve a “A” for effort
