As an app for watching television and movies, it has done the iPhone X a huge disservice. It was way larger on my iPhone 7 Plus. Need to Optimize for the iPhone X and take advantage of the beautiful 5.8 inch display
HBO GO: Stream with TV Package App Reviews
Copy whatever Netflix did
I know apps were not in the scene in 80s but this app feels like Atari. It’s so old, so outdated and slow. Subs cover the half of the screen, watchlist doesn’t work properly so I always have to remember the last episode and the time I watched. And there’s no save the episode feature so I can watch during my commute. Seriously, you don’t need to come up with new features or brainstorm over this app’s functionality. Just download Netflix from app store. Start your free trial and copy whatever they did. That’s it!
Verizon not in list - unusable
Cant get logged in on the app as Verizon isnt listed in either list and doesnt come up in the search even after deleting/reinstalling app. Cant contact support without ID not available in TiVo app. Also just canceled HBO and saved myself 20 bucks a month
Ehhh
Scrubbing is TERRIBLE and Apple TV app is awful. Needs major updates.
VP audio
Please fix the Vice Principals audio, it’s so bad?
Terrible
App works ok but it does not save which episodes you watched unless you binge watch the shows. It doesn’t have a “skip the intro” button. If you watch a show it won’t save where you left off on. It randomly glitches. Needs to learn from Netflix and also for a large company you would think this app is great... hate using it
great app, but needs better iPhone X support.
Please update the app for my shiny new phone. The “home” bar at the bottom of the screen is a real eyesore and should only appear briefly when the screen is tapped. Please fix! Otherwise, I love using this app to watch your amazing shows! Thanks.
My tv provider is not on here
My tv provider is not on here. It is a pretty big provider as well. Verizon
Terrible user interface
This App is absolute trash, completely uncompetitive against Netflix and Amazon. Even Disney streaming offers a better experience.
iPhone X not yet supported.
App has not been updated to support HDR and resolution to fit iPhone X screen.
Does not work.
I cannot even log in using my cable provider information. When I click on my cable provider, all I get is a gray screen on my phone and no where to type in log in information. Very frustrating. If there was a 0 star option I would pick that.
Apple TV app?
It doesn’t let me log into my account on Apple TV. It just says to sign into HBO Go on tablet or computer but that just logs me into my account it doesn’t connect it to my Apple TV. Am I missing something?
Bad app
This app is slow , quits all the time , can’t login on here but on my computer on hbogo.com it works fine. Time to make an improved App hbo!!
Horrible
Constantly crashing and freezing. Titles never load. Horrible.
Service provider for Comcast
This app is horrible if you have comcast/xfinity. You can never login due to it not being an option. You can click on comcast and then the screen is blank forever. This happens all too much. You can click on all other subscribers and the option pops right up for you to login but once you click comcast its blank.
Download option
HBO app one of the only apps that doesn’t allow downloading for offline use when traveling or in areas we little or no internet access.
A little buggy
My original review from a few minutes ago: Using iPhone 6S, iOS 10.3.3. Havent used the app in a while so it asked for my password, then it hangs on the HBO GO logo ad infinitum with an otherwise black screen. Gave up after waiting about 10 minutes. But then I was able to close out the app and restart and it seems to work now.
Yay TV App Integration!
I used to have HBO Now as a subscription from iTunes, but a while back I got HBO free with DirecTV NOW, so I had to switch over to HBO Go. I was totally disappointed that the HBO Go app wasn’t integrated with the TV app from Apple. Well, I just recently checked HBO Go again, and it is integrated with Apple’s TV app now! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because when I am in the TV app and I find HBO content, I click the content and I am taken to the content in HBO Go, and I have to click play in HBO Go to start the movie or show. In HBO Now, if I find HBO content in the TV app, I just click it and I am taken to HBO Now and the movie just starts playing. Basically, HBO Go needs to integrate with Apple’s TV app just like HBO Now does. However, things are functional. A movie or show watched adds to Up Next in the TV app and everything works just fine. Just fix that one little issue and I’ll go up to five stars.
Looks terrible on the iPhone X
The app works fine, but it looks horrible on the iPhone X. Once it’s updated to support the new iPhone, I’ll give it 5 stars.
Not binge watcher friendly
No “play next episode” button. You have to manually search for the next episode in a series.
