I despise the HBO Max app. Laggy and completely unreliable. Freezes all the time and logging in I'd torture. The comments in the app store are ruthless.
Being app specific I'd say its the app. Report the issue to the developers via their Play Store listing or directly on the site.

Those are the package names for HBO Max. The fact that it launches the app means that it’s targeting the correct package name. It’s the link that I’m sending that the app doesn’t know what to do with.

Have to use the package name to tell Kustom what to look for. There are multiple ways to get package name. For a system app I usually just generate a notification from the app I want then use $ni(0, pkg)$ to populate a text field with the package name. For anything else go to the play store from a browser and go to the app. The package name is in the URL so for HBO Now The URL is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow the package name is com.hbo.hbonow.
With that information you can use $ni(package, text)$ to get the text from the first notification for that app. So $ni(com.hbo.hbonow, text) will give me the text for only HBO Now notifications. I can't seem to find a way to pull a specific notification from a specific app though so if you want the 2nd text message notification it may not be possible at this point.
You need HBO Now. They claim it's supported on the Shield but Play won't let me install it. I suspect they have to update it to allow installation here.
until they release an app for the PS4 you will have to cast. or use an app for a roku /apple Tv/Nexus Player etc type device

This was after many news sites announced that HBO Now had received chromecast support, and after the Android App store announced an update to the HBO Now app enabling chromecast support.
So they certainly claim to have that functionality in the app.

and this Verge story
Oh man this is awesome news! I can't wait to watch it on my Roku!
[reads fine print that it's really only coming to Amazon tablets]
Oh....damnit....
Sidebar, does anyone have an Amazon Fire device who can comment on it? I have a Roku 3 and Chromecast.
EDIT: Wait, read fine print again and even though I can watch it on Android, I still can't cast it yet? Good one, HBO
EDIT 2: ~~I don't see HBO Now on Google Play Store - 9:19 CST~~ HBO Now is live on Google Play
EDIT 3: ~~This Current screenshot of their home page shows no changes as of yet. Generally putting out a release happens after you change the website.~~ Website is live
EDIT 4: I don't understand how they leave Roku hanging. Sure, it's not top dog anymore, but it still has the largest market share of streaming media players...This move makes me hang on to my Chromecast and wait for it to be Cast-enabled or wait until they come to Roku. It's striking me as Amazon exclusive almost. From Apple to Amazon.
Here's the Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
It's there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
No Chromecast or Android TV
It has been since Nov 20 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
When I look on my phone, I don't see it. But if I go here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow I can install it from the store, onto my phone.
Here's the play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
HBO GO has been replaced with HBO Max in most instances.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
App is available on Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
I did! In fact, I installed it remotely via the browser Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
I'm not familiar with Nordic. Is that for a particular country or region?
In the US, I see: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
It's on the apple store and android play store but you can get it a few other ways too... Just not the Amazon app store I guess.
Does this link work? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
They're actually much more accessible now. Check out HBO now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
Install the app. Sign up through the app. Go to the website on your PC. Voila!
Tablet only.
Edit: apparently I'm wrong. Here's the link, just so that everyone is looking at the correct app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
Here's the play store link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow
That makes sense. They probably counted me too, I tried a 7 day trial for the hour it took me to learn the app doesn't work on my TV, or my tablet, or my phone... Just look at the Google Play Store reviews. Half are 1 star. Half! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hbo.hbonow&hl=en_US&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dgoogle%20play%20store%20rating%20hbo%20max&pcampaignid=APPU_1_mLQZX9WxB8fetQXmwoqgBQ&showAllRevi...
HBO now is not exclusive any more. It was just an exclusive at launch for the Apple TV.
Edit: really? Downvoted? For being right? Look it up people. HBO Now is on other platforms.
