HBO Max is a premium streaming service offered by HBO. Imagine all of HBO bundled in one single app; that’s HBO Max for you. You can access old popular titles as well as newer titles from the app. The app is available across all major TV platforms like Apple TV, LG TV, Roku TV, and many more.

Accessing your favorite TV shows and movies translates to a pretty easy and awesome experience with the HBO Max app. It is the perfect partner for you whether you are solo or with friends and family.
