The HBO apps and streaming experience are terrible. UI that makes slugs seem fast and responsive. Lock your iPad while watching a show? Prepare for HBO to decide that show is not available until force the app to restart, and then have it decide you stopped watching three episodes ago. Constant buffering and low resolution, even on fiber internet. For some reason I can download a show to watch offline, and the resolution is still terrible… The HBO apps are consistently bad across every device I’ve tried, iPhone, iPad, android, and various smart TVs. The only redeeming feature is the content. HBO has the best shows, unfortunately you pay the price of dealing with by far the worst streaming experience that has ever existed.
