HBO Max has rolled out a new update for its app across Roku, PS4, and PS5 this week, which irons out a number of lingering issues with the service.
In case you aren’t a regular user of HBO Max, the app’s performance, particularly on PS5, has been pretty dodgy, with users flagging up multiple problems across social media. Fortunately, this latest update comes with some much-needed fixes, as outlined below.
- Faster overall speed – the app is much snappier than it was before.
- Better stability – loading app and playback has fewer issues than the previous app.
- Snappier search – the search function seems to return results quicker than before.
- ‘My List’ is now found under profile – viewers’ personal lists can be found and managed under their profile.
- Custom profile icons – your custom profile avatar is now available on Roku.
- UI changes – Enhanced buttons, larger tiles, and modified layouts. In addition, there is a new “loading” animation that spins around the lower portion of the screen.
