If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content on Max, good news: they’ve just made it easier than ever to navigate their vast entertainment library. Starting today, Max is rolling out a sleek new navigation menu, designed to improve the user experience for connected TV devices globally.
Whether you’re diving into a new series, rediscovering a classic, or just exploring what Max has to offer, these updates promise a smoother, more engaging experience. Here’s a breakdown of some of the changes and how they will benefit you.
Left Is the New Top
The most notable change when you open the app is the navigation menu. The navigation menu on adult profiles in the U.S. is moving from the top of the screen to the left side. This small tweak is a fresh change for browsing. Now, instead of hunting through horizontal tabs at the top, you’ll find Home, Series, Movies, HBO, B/R Sports, and CNN Max in a handy vertical utility menu. Search, My Stuff, Settings, and Profiles are sticking around right where you expect them.
This update isn’t just for American users. The new layout has been fine-tuned to fit local preferences in various regions and follows successful testing in Latin America. Max is taking a gradual, phased approach to rolling it out, starting with a select group of users before expanding globally over time. So, if you’re not seeing it yet, don’t worry, it’s on the way.
Introducing “What’s New”
Among the most exciting additions is the brand-new “What’s New” page. Imagine a one-stop destination where you can see all the latest arrivals to the platform, upcoming releases, and even titles that are about to leave. It’s perfect for staying on top of buzzy new shows or catching that movie you’ve been meaning to watch before it’s gone.
Browse Smarter with Categories
Another welcome feature is “Categories,” a fresh way to browse Max’s enormous catalog. Whether you’re in the mood for a specific genre, want to explore content by brand, or dive into thematic collections, Categories make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Love comedies? There’s a section for that. Prefer thrillers? No problem. Max is making it simpler than ever to discover hidden gems and revisit old favorites.
More Space, More Previews
By moving navigation to the side, Max has also freed up valuable screen real estate at the top of the homepage. This means more room for dynamic content previews and eye-catching trailers and clips that give you a taste of what’s in store. Whether you’re picking your next binge-worthy series or just browsing, the new layout is designed to draw you in and help you make decisions faster.
