This app is an embarrassment (similarly to the showtime anytime app). The navigation is cumbersome and tedious, but the worst thing is that on devices like iPad or my Xbox one, if you dont use it for a few days, it logs you out and you have to go through the ridiculously stupid process of signing in and activating it again. And to do that you have to choose your cable provider...and it only LISTS every provider so you have to scroll through them all to find yours. It does NOT let you search for your provider. HBO I know you have money and I know you could throw a bone to the app developers to fix this electronic rubbish you pass for an app. This app is a digital representation of the laziness of the company and the shear disdain HBO truly has for their customers. If I didnt automatically get HBO through my building, I would never pay for this garbage. Im sure no one from the company will read this, but I hope potential customers do, and run the other way. Do not give them your money!!
HBO GO: Stream with TV Package App Reviews
If works, it is great
Won’t connect through directv account. Did at one time. Keeps giving option of changing tv provider or not. However will not let me access sign in information to see if has save wrong password. Every time I try to rely on it to download to watch stuff on the go, it does not work.
Broken - can’t log in with DirecTV
I could get passed the terrible navigation, but the app has been broken and not allowing DirecTV logins for over a week now. I thought the new update would fix it, but now it’s just a blank screen. Seriously, you need to fix this.
AWFUL!
Constantly does not work, buggy as heck, terrible features and just an overall horrible app! I’ve had to delete and reinstall the app numerous times, and now it does not even allow me to sign in.
Problems Logging In
Every now and then I get signed out of the app and can’t for the life of me get back in... “Looks like you’re not a DIRECTV customer” or “you are not authorized to access this app” ... I have HBO on other devices, under the same log in credentials, and I assure you I am a customer of HBO. Ludicrous.
Wont let you select provider
I keep trying to sign in and it only gos to attend uverse. Thats not my provider and it wont let me see the anything else.
Latest update doesn’t work with chrome cast
Since the app updated a week ago, I can no longer connect my chrome cast tv to the app. Worked fine until the update. FIX THIS!
Lag
Doesn’t respond. Doesn’t bring you back to the right spot
New version huge bug..
After watching a few episodes and shutting the app off for more than 4 hours, when I try to reopen the app, all I get is a blank screen... the only way I’ve been able to remedy this is by uninstalling and reinstalling.. never had this problem with HBO now.
Poor
One word: dung.
Signing in
I’ve tried and tried but can’t sign in. WhT a waste
Too much buffering
Great to have the full hbo catalogue, but that’s of little use if the show or movie I want to watch pauses every 10 minutes. Netflix and Amazon work fine on the same internet connection, so I don’t think hbo - which is the premium offering - should be hanging up so much. This has been going on for years - please fix.
Won’t let me log in
No matter how many times I try, it wont let me log in. I have hbo on my Comcast account and I’ve signed in multiple times on the app. Regardless, it still says I haven’t signed on. I didn’t have problems with this on my Android. Fix your app.
apple tv not working
It will not send me the verification code for my apple tv account ** update.. i figures out the issue. I had to use a desktop browser as it would not work with the mobile browser on my ios device
Great app!
Functional and Elegant. It does what it is supposed to do and more. HBO is now available wherever I go and on all my mobile devices. In a phrase, “It just works”. I really couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you.
The worst app Ive ever used
If anyone leaves a rating of more than one star they are being paid for their review. This app is terrible. It makes the biggest mistakes for the easiest commands. If theyre trying to fix this app, its impossible. Throw it away and start afresh.
Crashed
Screen is just black now. No menu have to delete and reinstall..
You Have to be Kidding
This is the worst app I have ever used. You can do better HBO. I cant believe a company this big embarrasses itself with this quality. The menus dont landscape on my iPad, I cant seem to watch a full movie without the app crashing at least 5 times, and streaming series is a joke. If I didnt get HBO with my cable subscription, no way would I even bother. HBOs content isnt even that relevant anymore. I really only watch some old series and an occasional movie. After my movie experience today, no more. Could care less if I ever watch HBO again.
Provider not supported
I pay for HBO with Frontier and I can’t get to content if I have Frontier? Awful..,,
Annoying and very aggravating
Tried to sign in but whenever it was attempted would redirect me to the beginning and there also is no sign out feature just a total piece of crap app
