The following guide will provide you with an HBO Max Review and how to install the app on Firestick, Roku, and Android devices.

IMPORTANT NOTE: HBO Max is now available within the Amazon App Store AND the Roku Channel Store.

After ongoing negotiations between HBO and Amazon, it appears a deal has finally been reached.

HBO Max is HBO’s latest streaming service that combines preceding HBO apps.

The HBO app will automatically update to the HBO Max app on the Firestick and all Fire TV devices.

Note: For those who are already subscribed to HBO through Amazon Prime Channels, you will be able to log in to the HBO Max app with your Amazon credentials.

The company explains the service on its official website:

This streaming service offers VOD content in categories such as Movies, Series, Originals, Just Added, Last Chance, Coming Soon, and much more.

HBO Max costs $14.99/month, but they are offering a 7-day free trial for new users as of this writing.

This service is available for installation on streaming devices including the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, and more.

If using an Android device like the MECOOL Box, NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, and other Android TV Boxes, you can find HBO Max within the Google Play Store.

HBO Max Review

HBO Max brands itself as “powerhouse programming for everyone in the home, bringing together HBO, new original series, and fan favorites from WarnerMedia’s rich library.”

This huge VOD service is owned/operated by WarnerMedia and was officially launched in May 2020.

One competitive advantage that HBO Max has is its exclusive titles that other services can’t provide.

This includes titles from Warner Bros, New Line, DC, Turner Classic Movies, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth, Looney Tunes, and much more.

Its single subscription plan provides users with access to all of these exclusive titles along with thousands of other streaming options.

You can find specific content offerings towards the end of this HBO Max Review.

HBO Max is compatible with most popular devices such as the Firestick/Fire TV, Android, Chromecast with Google TV, iOS, and more options for cord-cutters.

The service was launched over three years ago by two former Big TV executives who found a niche in affordable family TV.
