And it is that in addition to everything that HBO already offered us, in HBO Max we will also enjoy endless content from Max Originals, Warner Bros, DC, Cartoon Network, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo! & Friends and Cartoonito.

And is that Being able to enjoy movies 45 days after their theatrical release is something that is sure to appeal to many people.
HBO Max. Price only until November
As for its own productions, HBO Max has prepared a large number of them and they will gradually arrive during these months. The platform has also premiered with original series such as’ Todo lo Otro ‘or’ Dolores. The Truth About The Wanninkhof Case ‘. However, other fictions also produced in Spain will soon arrive, such as ‘¡García!’, ‘Pobre Diablo’, ‘Sin Novedad’ or ‘Venga Juan’.
4K, Dolby Atmos and the arrival of profiles
On a technical level, HBO Max offers a great change compared to what is already known in HBO Spain. And is that finally we will have support for 4K and Dolby Atmos, a feature highly demanded by its users and that due to limitations in its app we did not yet have. The content with this resolution will gradually reach the platform.
Another of the great changes that HBO Max brings with it is adding up to 5 profiles in a single account, something that comes with the possibility of playing content on up to three devices simultaneously, unlike two in the old HBO Spain app. What’s more there is no registration limit per account anymore, so we will no longer have to erase the devices on which we have previously accessed the account.

The app is now available for download in the main app stores. Performance is quite fast, with almost instant access to content. This is cataloged in the different sections of its drop-down menu on the left, a site where we also have access to the different content hubs that we have mentioned above.
There are still options that are missing in the interface that is incorporated while the content is playing, since We only have the option to change the language and subtitles. However, it must be borne in mind that it was today when the app has landed in our country, and that it is very likely that over time we will see more outstanding functions.
