How to install HBO Max on the Fire TV Stick
When HBO Max first launched, it wasn’t available on every device, including Amazon products. Thankfully, the app has since rolled out on every streaming device — just not in every country. So, the first thing to do is verify if HBO Max is available in your region. Search for the app from the Fire TV Appstore.
If it is available, download the app, then sign in with your HBO Max account. If you don’t already have an account, hit the widget below to register. There are two HBO Max plans: an ad-supported plan for $9.99 a month and an ad-free one for $15.99 per month.
You can also ask your Fire TV Stick to find HBO Max by pressing the Alexa or microphone button on your Fire TV remote and saying, “Find HBO Max.” Once downloaded, you can say the same thing to open the app quickly.
If you’re currently not in front of your Fire TV, you can download the app from the Amazon website so that it’s ready for when you return. Sign in to your Amazon account and select your device from the menu named Deliver to.
Aside from the Fire TV Stick, you can watch HBO Max on your Fire tablet. You’ll find the app on-screen the next time you turn on your Fire TV or tablet.
How to cancel HBO Max on the Fire TV Stick
To remove HBO Max from your Fire Stick, navigate to Settings from the home page and select Applications—>Manage Installed Applications. Scroll down to find HBO Max and click Uninstall.
If you never plan to use the app again, make sure you first cancel your subscription within the app to avoid being charged the monthly fee. To do so, open Settings—>Billing Information—>Manage Subscription. Lastly, select Cancel Subscription and confirm your decision.
Instead, you could opt for the more affordable ad-supported plan for $9.99/month. There are only up to four minutes of ads per hour, but you can watch any HBO Max originals without interruption. You might even be able to get HBO Max for free.
