HBO has all the great shows and movies to watch
Always entertained... Original programming, movies, documentaries- all great!
I like how I can stream this app onto my television without it being a pain in the butt.
Top Complaints (Impact Areas)
They don’t have an UNPAUSE BUTTON... once you go back into the app there is no way to press play.
If I pause or switch apps then come back to the app … no Play/Controls!
Ads aren’t fun anyways but seeing the same five is a special kind of torture
Every time we stream, it will randomly rewind after a commercial break and... make you watch ads again
It signs me out in the middle of watching a show.
Ive been experiencing loading and crashing on the phone and tv
