How to download movies and shows on the Max app
Downloading content using the official app is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Open the Max mobile app and sign in to your account.
- Search for the movie or TV show you want to download and tap on its title to open the overview page.
- Tap the Download icon on the overview page and wait for the download to begin.
- Once the download is completed, go to your profile icon and tap on Downloads to find your saved content.
How to manage your Max downloads
Managing your saved content is simple. To delete a download, go to the Downloads icon, choose the Download complete icon (checkmark) next to the title, and then select Delete Download. This frees up space on your device for new content. If a download expires, it can usually be renewed by connecting to the internet and tapping the Renew Download button. A key limitation to keep in mind is that downloads are stored on your phone or tablet's internal storage and cannot be saved to an SD card. Plan your downloads accordingly to avoid running out of space.
