HBO Max is quickly catching up with apps like Netflix and Hulu as one of the most popular streaming services around. And with the entire HBO catalog on offer, as well as a suite of movies and shows from studios around the world, it's not hard to see why viewers are excited.

This is all despite the fact that when HBO Max first launched, it wasn't available to any Roku users.

Luckily, things have changed since then. You can now get HBO Max on your Roku device as easily as any other app – and there's even two ways to do it.
