HBO Max now Max: lacks native video player features; ‘Up Next’ support bugs

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/05/hbo-max-apple-tv.jpeg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div>
<p><strong>Update: </strong>Integration with the Apple TV “Up Next” queue appears to be supported by Max but is not working for many users right now. Hopefully, this is a server-side bug that the company is working to address.  </p>
<p>The app also apparently uses the tvOS video player, but all of the first-party tvOS features have been disabled. </p>

<p>As expected, HBO Max has officially rebranded (https://9to5google.com/2023/05/22/hbo-max-new-app-android-iphone/) to just “Max,” following Warner Bros. Discovery’s announcement last month (https://9to5mac.com/2023/04/12/dont-call-it-hbo-max/). The service ditches the iconic HBO name and pulls in content from HBO Max and Discovery+, creating a unified “Max” app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/max-stream-hbo-tv-movies/id1666653815?platform=appleTV) that replaces the previous standalone apps.</p>
<p>That “Max” app, however, is already facing criticism from many users – especially Apple TV users.</p>
