If two people use the same Apple ID for logging into "iTunes & App Store" on iOS, then they can share app purchases, including the purchase of in-app subscriptions like HBO Now (or Netflix).
If two people use separate Apple IDs for logging into "iTunes & App Store", but link the Apple IDs via iCloud Family Sharing, then they can still share app purchases. However, they cannot share in-app purchases.
HBO Now (and Netflix) are in-app subscription purchases. So does this mean that, if I use iCloud Family Sharing, there is be no way to share a single subscription to HBO Now so that it can be used by everyone in my family?
Is there a way around this, that allows the family to use iCloud Family Sharing but still allows everyone to be able to use HBO now from their devices?
Best Answer
HBO-Now and Netflix are Internet services.
Once you have a account you can log in from everywhere and from any device that supports it. You do not have to be in the same geographical location to share.
No need for Apple ID, iCloud.
The maximum number of simultaneous connections is 3 for Netflix and HBO. If you need more connections (sharing) you can get it for small fee.
