What's With All the Negative Reviews?

PostedApril 15, 2013

"I don't get it. I downloaded the app yesterday afternoon and was caught up on Game of Thrones by nightfall. This is a great app if you like the HBO series (some of which are the best things on TV), documentaries, and specials. It's different than HBO on Demand like on your cable box, but there's a lot of great content and its free."

Every Episode, Movie, Special on demand! Awesome!!!

PostedApril 11, 2013

"HBO GO is a must have. Just about every episode of every series HBO has every made is available on demand. With a good internet connection, I have gotten great HD quality video through my Samsung Smart TV, Blu-ray player, & Galaxy S3. All of HBO's current movie offerings are also available. Love the design as it is extremely easy to find the show/movie you are interested in. If your Samsung device supports this App (check your model's specs as some may not), and you are an HBO subscriber (required), then I highly recommend you download this App."

PostedSeptember 7, 2012

"All of the negative reviews are based on not being able to get the app. I just bought a UNES6100, and getting the app working was pretty simple. At first glance, my only complaint is the relatively low number of newer movies available (new to HBO that is). Other than that, it's easy to use, the picture is great, and there is a lot of content."

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, great picture, lots of content

PostedAugust 22, 2012

"Most of the negative reviews were not of the app itself, but of its lack of availability on newer TVs.

This app is fantastic! Easy to use and navigate and the picture quality is SUPERB!

If your TV supports it, I highly recommend it!"

PostedJanuary 22, 2013

"Bought 55" LED Dec 14 (model un55es6150fxza). HBO-Go has been working great until this weekend (Jan 20) then it would not respond - just spinning & trying to connect eternally. I have uninstalled and tried to reinstall couple of times...turned TV on/off...tried again...just spinning. All other apps work and cable internet connection is fine. I'm stumped and tried googling for answer to no avail. Where can I find support?"

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color

Cons: no tech support

PostedDecember 20, 2012

"Trying to watch your favorite HBO program via the Samsung HBO Go app is like watching paint dry. For whatever reason you are forever either paused for buffering or the app/TV loses its connection with the server. I've resorted to just watching HBO Go on my desktop computer. I do not have this problem with any other app regarding its wifi connectivity."

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, can not maintain connection to server
