I often wonder if the folks that develop the HBO Max app have ever used Netflix before? If not, they should try it out so that they can learn how to make a streaming app that doesn't suck. HBO has good content, but man is this app a chore to use. If you download episodes, and then click on the episode from the episode list to play (instead of from your downloads list), the app streams the episode instead of loading the downloaded version. I'd say more but reviews are limited in length.
