Max app format does not fit (scrolling down cuts movie/show picture in half)

While in New Max app on Roku Ultra device, the images displaying the show or movies get cut in half so you can read the title. Makes it very hard to pick option, unless you don't mind clicking on every option to find what you want to watch.

Re: Max app format does not fit (scrolling down cuts movie/show picture in half)

I've seen that problem a couple of times in the max channel. I just scroll all the way back to the top and then back down to fix it; it seems to get lost when you stop and browse around in the middle when their rows are differing heights.

Reporting it to max seems futile.

Re: Max app format does not fit (scrolling down cuts movie/show picture in half)

The scrolling issue surfaced after the most recent update to the app..I have a Roku 4800x with a wired connection and notice that the app doesn't center the horizontal categories properly and as a result, cuts off the top half of each line similar to what the OP stated. I'll attempt removing and adding it back, but logic dictates its a bug in the recent update..That said, HBO has ALWAYS been laggy and this hasn't changed with the move to Max..clicking a title and returning can take upwards of 5-10 seconds while other apps return quickly..its obvious HBO has lots of work to do with the Roku app.
