I'm having the same issue today. I'm halfway through the first season of Boardwalk Empire and today its disappeared from my continue watching. Max app is so clunky compared to Netflix or Prime.
Hi @signal13,
Greetings from the Roku Community!
Thanks for flagging us about this behavior on the MAX channel "Continue Watching" feature. We're here to help.
To learn more, please let us know...
With more information, we'll be able to better isolate the issue.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem. I am 5 episodes into Station Eleven and there is nothing for “Continue Watching” on the home page. Worked fine until today.
What’s worse, the app is not tracking my progress in the show. The series page says “Watch S1 E1” (very top left of screen clip) when I am 5 episodes in, and even that does not match the progress bars on each episodes(screen clip). Guess I’ll track my episode progress using pen and paper 😠
This is really basic streaming functionality- progress tracking and simple resumption where we left off. Very, very frustrating.
This is broken when looking at Max.com thru Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop as well, so it's not an app problem, it's something on the back end. Note "Watch E1 S1", even though it shows episodes 1 & 2 have been watched(even though I have actually watched all tghe way thru episode 5).
This problem had been remedied for several months. I had to update the Max app a couple of days ago and the problem has started again. The Great Pottery Throwdown and Worst Cooks in America are both disappearing from my Continue Watching List. It also forgets where in the episode I am if I stop watching in the middle of the episode. It is too much of a hassle to keep track of this with a pen and paper and then have to search the app to locate the show and then fast forward through the episode to get where I am in the show. It has made me give up watching those two shows. One of them is airing brand new episodes and I’m going to have to wait until this is fixed again before coming back to Max.
Hi Community users,

Our team is currently aware of the issue and is undergoing an in-depth investigation regarding it. That being said, would you be so kind as to provide us with the following information?

Blunt question- why aren’t the engineers and testers gathering all this info, trying various combinations of Roku devices, etc? Surely the testers have a lab setup do this sort of investigation. I was a software Eng for 20 years and we didn’t ask our customers to help us debug their issues. We took a bug report and went to work. It’s bad enough that we have a product/service that is not working properly, now you want us us to spend our valuable time helping to fix the issue?

It started happening again for me on several shows about 3 days ago.
Sopranos, Band of Brothers… same issue doesn’t show I’ve been watching or register on continue watching. Have to search for the show every time. Roku Ultra
