HBO Max Introduces New User Rating Feature

HBO Max is enhancing its user experience by allowing you to express your opinions on movies and series through a new feedback system.

With the introduction of options such as 'Love,' 'Like,' and 'Not For Me,' HBO Max will refine your viewing suggestions accordingly.

Personalized Watch Lists

Expressing love for a particular title prompts HBO Max to populate your homepage with similar content under the 'Because You Love' section. Conversely, selecting 'Not For Me' leads to a deprioritization of similar content.

These adjustments align with HBO Max's initiative, tested last year, to customize user experiences more effectively. This approach is reminiscent of Netflix's familiar thumbs-up and thumbs-down features.

Recent Developments

The new rating functionality arrives just after a significant announcement by Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of HBO Max, indicating plans for a potential sale and a streaming service price increase for the third consecutive year.

Device Accessibility

This rating system is set to be accessible across various platforms, including web browsers, mobile devices, and smart televisions. The process for rating content involves selecting the 'Rate' button on a title’s detailed page or via an on-screen prompt after you finish watching.
