I experienced that as well. It's working now though.

I experienced that as well. It's working now though. Same here, it actually went live (at least to download the app) last night and it wasn't working. I looked this morning and both HBO Max and Max work. |

So it doesn't carry over if you have HBO Max already?

Roku users, I had to update the existing HBO Max app. It still shows HBO Max, for now, but the app is officially the new one.

Well it indeed carried over...for the first try. I need to reinstall it now.
But I like the organization for the different brands, and that they have some of the Baking Championship shows from season 1 up

I like that you can pick an avatar for your profile, and I chose Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street.
That's about all the positives I can say about this rebrand.

I had a strange experience with the switchover this morning.
I didn’t know when the change was supposed to happen, but earlier today the app still said HBO Max and looked the same as it always did. I checked again later and got a message to download the new app. I use an Apple TV and a screen told me to confirm the purchase on my iPhone. I use my mom’s HBO Max account so it’s in her email address and password. But the screen wouldn’t let me use anything other than my Apple ID, so I kept getting a Payment Failed message. I’ve never had that happen before; usually you can install any app even if you don’t subscribe, but it wouldn’t even let me do that.
I just tried installing it again, and it worked this time. I didn’t have to enter Mom’s login information or anything; when I launched the app it had all our profiles and the shows played like they should.
