What To Do If HBO Max Is Not Working On My Firestick

If you find that HBO MAX is not working on your firestick or android tv box then it could be that the app is just not compatible with your version of FireTV or android box. You may find it opens fine but will not play Movies, TV Shows, or anything else.

If you have sideloaded the app it is best to use a built-in mouse such as Mouse Toggle as your amazon remote won’t be mapped out well with the app you just sideloaded in.

Once you have loaded in the mouse toggle app you can now activate it and use the mouse to select any section or menu inside the HBO Max app and turn off Mouse Toggle as and when needed.
