MLB App Reviews

2023 Version Is As Bad As My Team (Giants). Usually apps get better as the years progress, but MLB has decided to make some changes to this app that made it worse. From the new, forced “Home” page (its just an in-app webpage I’m pretty sure) with a poor layout and cutoff team logo, to slower load times across the board, this year’s version of the app is a huge swing-and-a-miss. Grab some pine, meat. I forgot to add- bafflingly, there is still no widget or live activity support. Two stars- one for being a functioning app, a second because many one-star reviews get ignored. Specific complaints: -Poor design of new Home page -Inability to disable said page -Loss of team color theming (without extra taps to get away from the home page) -No box score on new home page as in old version -The app has decided I’m following Matt Cain, Buster Posey, and MadBum, three players I loved in orange and black but who are no longer playing, and no matter how many times I unfollow them they’re right back on my home page. -Slower than old version *Update* turns out there are live activities, just kinda hidden.

App is crap. App used to be so good. Now it constantly crashes, you have to watch a commercial that is longer than the video clip, updates say “improvements” which is totally false. The app used to be simple and gave you what you needed. Now it’s just a complete mess. The standings are a complete joke, they made it all colorful as if it’s better, it’s not, it just added more crap to the standings, you can’t just see the simple standings with how many games behind etc without having to actually scroll, just make it simple again. Then when you have complaints, which it seems everyone has nowadays, all they do is send a reply “we’d love to pass on your suggestions” knowing full well that means “we are going to dump your suggestions in the trash, we know better than you what you want” MLB app is a complete joke. Everyone that works on it obviously doesn’t use it. Total garbage.

MLB subscription.. and no extra pay for 3Rd party streaming. If you pay for a TV subscription every year you shouldn't have to pay again to watch it on alternative TV / Streaming services ! You also shouldn't not be blacked out on games ... especially if you do not receive "local programming" in the different state a game is playing. If a subscription is purchased you should have ACCESS to ALL games ... PERIOD !!! I live in an area that doesn't provide a lot of baseball..so only option is a MLB subscription... I don't want to pay to watch streaming when I should get it on MLB TV. This would make a better fan experience! Instead of all about the money in the end !

The Big Shame about MLB. The real problem with the Major League Baseball app is that you can virtually never see your home team, in my case, my beloved Cincinnati Reds. I kept score of the first 106 Reds games in 1970, the beginning of the Big Red Machine, when they won 70 of their first 100 games. Why can’t baseball be more like the NFL? I saw 20 games at Crosley and then Riverfront before I got a library job while going into the 10th grade. I was 15 years old. Now I’m almost 70 and I’m not going to subject myself to the newest Ballpark, although it’s very nice. What is the harm in being able to watch every move of the very exciting young Reds? The steal of second, third, and home on 2 pitches! by Mr. De La Cruz was the most incredible play I may have ever seen! Who’s losing revenue when I pay my $150 for the radio app? The Real Big Shame about this MLB app is I cannot watch my Reds!!! Please explain the lost revenue if I were provided with every game, visually & viscerally?

Radio is broken. I've been a subscriber for a while now and listen to games frequently. In the last couple weeks, they’ve updated something with the radio function of the app that causes it to lag way behind the action of the game. I know latency exists in the internet, but I'm talking 2-3 batters behind the game on TV. It's very frustrating to be so far behind the action and it never used to be like this until a few weeks ago. Please fix it! Update for 2023: this is still a problem! Was working fine during spring training and I thought it was fixed. Regular season starts and it’s right back to a horribly delayed radio feed. FIX IT! Update for June 2023 - I’ve submitted this review a few times. I’ve put in customer service complaints over and over. Not only does MLB refuse to help, they refuse to admit it’s a problem. So to add another complaint - every commercial break is the same three very VERY annoying ads superimposed over the broadcast feed. Three ads, twice an inning, nine innings, every day. It’s unlistenable.

Ridiculous. For a sport that is bleeding fans quicker than any other you would think they could make an app functional for people who are obviously using their phones more than ever. I’m a subscriber and for this entire season I have a 50/50 chance of watching a replay, game or highlights. So what’s the point of having/paying for this app? There isn’t one because I can find the scores anywhere else and that’s basically all I have access to. I’ll be waiting for the response of the developer which I’m surely will start with “sorry to hear”. MLB is so clueless as to what people need/want, it is laughable. Good luck watching replays with this joke of a google cloud thing they have going on. It’s also so cool that when the replays work I get to watch a commercial. I pay for the season and I still have to watch commercials? This is an incredible failure on the part of mlb. They don’t have any clue which is why your numbers will continue to drop as you have just lost me as a customer as well. Good luck getting back the average fan because you have no idea how to do it.

Me. Once upon a time this was the best major Sports app. It still is but it’s “Slippin”. This year I have been required to delete then reinstall more than all past years combined. I have had the ‘at bat’ app since it was started Now we have audio problems- identifying players problems-videos blowing into my ability to listen to the radio broadcast. My ‘pet peeve is stopping the audio feed to do something else for a few minutes and coming back to listen. The audio picks up where you stopped it unless you shut the app off and restart it. So it isn’t a live stream it’s an app that forces the listener to hear as many ads as can be piled into the ‘stream’ So if an inning ends on the game you’re listening to and you switch to another game when you return to the game you started with you must listen to all of the ads and ‘live’ broadcast that you left to go to a new game. It’s funny the pictures of batters and pitchers keep up with the game you left but the audio radio broadcasts doesn’t. So to keep up you must shut down the app and restart it to catch up. I gave it 3 stars because it is still better the other major sports apps but not by much anymore.

Pathetic Still the worst. The app has scam advertisements. Requires a TV subscription to watch postseason ball! What a waste of money. MLB is a trash business. Gave MLB another try…still crap. You have to log in every time the streaming app opens (on Apple TV, Samsung, Roku & iOS). There is always a delay to look for your location if you want to look in and out of current games, even though you’re in the app and it just looked for your location. Blackouts are still absolutely stupid and the app won’t tell you why. How am I supposed to know about blackouts for (non-hometown) teams when traveling? I hate that you have to pick a favorite team. I know how to follow my team if I want to. Just let me see all the games and scores without having to look at the one team I am most familiar with. Oh and you don’t get access to MLB network without a TV subscription. It would be a phenomenal way to learn about the league, but instead it reinforces MLBs antiquated, geezer entertainment model. This app is so old and barely improves. MLB is a disgrace to the talented players that make the game the worlds-greatest sport. The app had a link for a discounted remainder of season subscription, but redirects to App Store and charges full price with auto-renew. MLB does not respond to messages or follow up with issue tracking tickets.

Greed. People wouldn’t believe how much money I used to make. The more I made it seemed the less happy I was. Corporations when they take they don’t replace that with anything else other than another revenue stream. For the price of tickets to see mediocrity teams play a game the sell is nostalgia. Yet that same nostalgia that sells the tickets themselves is being removed by apps that are forced on the fans. This app is pretty simple to use and works well. However, by not giving fans an option to have hard physical tickets for souvenirs, mementos and arts and crafts shows they have zero respect for any of us. Who has a tickets stub to Aaron Judge HR record game? I bet the Yankees printed some garbage limited edition trinket to sell to the fan. This goes for every Sports team. Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro playing for the Bucs- my family’s had season tickets for 30 years yet no stub from that game. When the younger generations lose the nostalgia of collecting tickets and physically holding and reading the articles they will also lose the nostalgia that convinces them to overpay for a product that no longer means what it used to mean. Technology isn’t going anywhere and we are heading way past the slippery slope of intellectual property abuse. Now all I got to do is figure out how to make a decent living again only utilizing my Cellphone

Greatest baseball app ever but one issue. This app is great. I absolutely love the game day to help you visualize the game. And I also like how you can change your teams to follow and your favorite team. However, I had 3 teams that I was following. Then the complete revision came and I wanted to take them out cause of too much notifications. So I went to the followed teams and the only team I was following was my favorite team. But I was still getting notifications. I want to have peace while I’m laying in bed at night but I keep getting notifications from teams I don’t follow anymore. I hope that this issue (which is probably only with me) to be fixed. I hope you see this and know what’s going on because this is starting to become a problem. And if you do fix it then thank you.

This release is rife with problems. On the phone, when playing game audio, all that shows on the lock screen is text that says “Advertisement” — where’s the art that shows the two team logos?? Where is any mention of what the two teams are?? Also, on the iPad, why do I have to sit through ads just to watch highlight videos? I’m PAYING for the app — shouldn’t I be able to watch videos without sitting through ads every time?? Also, when tracking a game on the Home Screen, the game doesn’t progress from where it is when you start tracking. In other words, you can’t track anything because nothing changes. Speaking of the so-called “track game” feature, why can’t we track whichever game we want? Why is only our one favorite team available? Can MLB not conceive of baseball fans perhaps wanting to track different teams’ games from time to time?

Hating the streaming service games. The app is great. Love watching games on MASN. Absolutely hate when games are only available on streaming services (ie. Apple TV, Peacock). I think it’s pretty tone deaf on the part of the MLB to expect fans to pay hundreds of dollars a year to watch a handful of games. Games with mediocre coverage at best, by on air personalities who clearly know little about the teams and cities of which they report. People on fixed incomes, low income families and anyone struggling to make ends meet, see it as a slap in the face. Not everyone can afford to even visit the ballpark for a game. Further limiting people’s ability to support their team by putting games out of their financial reach feels like blind elitism. I am very disappointed in this very poorly thought out decision by the MLB

MLB at Bat app, Best of Four Major Sports. The MLB at Bat app is by far the best app to follow your hometown MLB team and all of Major League Baseball, in general. You can follow just about everything you would want to know about the MLB in real-time at the touch of your fingers on your smartphone. This year they even improved it with more ways to get specific information about each game. By the way, the app is faster than your tv and radio broadcasts. But I have one negative against these new improvements, there is no function or tab to click on to show which defensive players are in the field or which runners are on base, etc So one negative: no field view! This matters more late in games as managers make substitutions and especially in extra innings games. So I hope MLB is listening and watching and will re-introduce field-view with defense and runners on base. Otherwise this app is pretty awesome!

Pretty good but can be improved. I totally love this app, however, I do wish that in the standings tab you would be able to just hear the bare minimum about a team such as what their record is how many games behind they are in the division and how many games behind they are in the wildcard. If you want to see all of the stats, allow us to be able to click on the teams link and view them. As a blind person, this is just more that we have to scroll past. I would also like to have Dolby digital surroundsound as a requirement for all major league radio broadcasts. Radio is just as it was in the 1900s, late 1900s at that. all mono audio with broadcasts, except for the Atlanta Braves. But even on this app, they don’t broadcast in stereo as they do on SiriusXM and the like. It’s time that all areas of the app step up into the 21st-century. Thank you for keeping accessibility in mind, though.

Used to be good.. **UPDATE** They did the impossible... they made the app worse. You can now NO LONGER search for videos by keywords. This is unbelievable. I PAY MONTHLY FOR THIS APP, and it seems like they are putting all the subscribers money into making the app worse with every update. ALSO.. radio broadcast will just disappear now for large chunks of time, and when it’s running its way behind gameday which will freeze from time to time. Please go back to simplifying the app.. I’m paying the same, but getting so much less now. I’ve been a subscriber for a long time. And up until recently I would have given this app a five star review. This app is garbage now. I’ve watched the quality of the app rapidly decline in recent years. Replays used to load quickly, and be of good quality. Not only do the replays take forever to load, but when they do they are extremely pixelated on even the fastest wifi. The radio function never works. I can listen for a few minutes, but the playback will inevitably fail. When that happens I am stuck watching game day, which is ALSO a mess now. I get that there’s a lot that goes into making this app possible, and when functioning correctly it’s a beautiful thing.. but with all the crazy additions made to make the app “better” they ruined what used to just FLAT OUT WORK.

Can we stop the Internet ads on the archives of the games?. During the archives of the audio portions of the games, there are pop-up ads that cover up the regular radio station ads of the games, so I have trouble knowing when the games are going to start back up again. Also, during the games, there are pop up ads that will appear. This never used to be like this, and what I'm really looking forward to happening, is, if when I listen to a live game, and I miss it, and I go back to the archive of that game, I want to hear the same game as I would if I were listening to the game live. I don't understand what is going on here ever since you all updated this application within the last couple of days, this has been going on. This never used to be this way. Please fix this.

Good app gone bad. Another greedy money grab. I used to love this app. However, if you can avoid it, do so. First they jacked up the price from $20 a year to $30 a year for the audio broadcasts. No new features or benefits, just a huge greedy move for us with auto subscriptions turned on. They also started using local commercials based on your location. However, there doesn’t seems to be anyone actually monitoring the game so the commercials start later than the commercial break so it cuts off the start of the broadcast of the next innings. By the time the commercials finish you’ve missed at least the first batter or more. And the audio on the commercials is so loud! I did radio and tv commercials for years professionally and this is easily fixed with a leveling compressor but apparently no one at MLB knows what one is. Look elsewhere for your baseball broadcasts if you can.

MLB has an outdated business model, and I’m disappointed. The app often fails… then you have to reload it particularly when you switch games. Also, the MLB blackouts restrictions are ridiculous. In a modern age MLB needs understand if you don’t let the fans watch games they’re gonna do something else and not support MLB. It’s crazy to think that when you buy the app you cannot watch local games that for me are over a two hours drive away. This follows an outdated business model. Currently, the most advantageous business model follows the theory of the “long tail”. The most profitable value is getting it to an audience of millions rather than a few hundred thousand fans. Also, I know when I watch games, I feel more of the urgency to go to games. I believe I’ve heard the MLB argument that they don’t allow streaming of local games in order to persuade fans to go to more games. I believe the opposite is true. That sounds watch games and they will go see more games. And also to consider revenue they’re losing between innings by just having static screens for the most part. Recently, they started putting some MLB commercials in there however, that dead space is a prime opportunity for profit via selling commercials.

Great app, two recommendations. The recent changes that have been made are very much appreciated. Two request, first, when a game ending notification comes in can you include the pitcher who gets credited for the save when that applies. Second, also related to game notifications, unless the user has scoring changes or lead changes turned on, just send the end of game notification, we don't need the walk off play as well. For those who have lead or score changes turned on, obviously this would be appropriate. I've tested this with just the end of game notification set on, and when a walkoff happens, two separate notifications are sent every time.

MLB stop trying to change the game. This app is awesome, I’ve been a huge fan of Major League Baseball since I was 8 years old .I can remember listening to the Oakland A’s , in 1972. I would keep score of the games. Stats in sports have always interested me. Especially when it came to baseball. The history of game and the players who once played at the beginning ,when they started to keep players numbers ,stats. A bats . Hits ,Runs ,Home Runs ,RBI’s etc .Pitching records Era’s it’s made baseball as far has I’m concerned, the best game ever.! I have to say , I don’t like the new rules , the pitching clock. The base runner at second in extra innings. It takes the purity out of the game: I love that baseball has no time limit It’s what’s made it unique, a game could last 20 innings or longer. That’s what’s amazing. But by just putting runners on base: In my I think it hurts the game : not makes it better. If your going to have the pitching clock .let’s add some time. It’s way to fast. Baseball was never meant to be a quick game. It involves Thinking and strategies on every pitch, managerial moves, pitching changes, pinch hitters,( oh yeah and I almost forgot, you can’t shift players over to one side of the diamond , that’s ridiculous also. Just let the managers try whatever to stop a pull hitter . Stop changing the greatest game ever .!! The end

Junk!!!! Do not waste your time trying to watch extra innings. I have had the app on my iPad for many seasons, and I had to re-do the hand-shake proving my account weekly this season. I mean every week having to re-login to watch the Mets lose is stupid. I used to have to do it a few times a season. I changed and updated the email address which was the initial problem, but I still need to do WEEKLY, stupid re-login hand shakes to prove I paid. I did contact mlb tech support, and I was told just bookmark the pages. I mean it is stupid having to re-prove weekly my accounts. I think it is one of many reasons kids no longer care about baseball and love the NFL. I mean fantasy started with the MLB, but I never hear about it anymore. Also, I have to deal with it quitting every game too. I mean in the middle of an at bat too. I understand the occasional app issue(s), but I swear ever single game it quits for every season and game of the season.

Great! Download radio broadcasts to offline?. The app is great, all things considered. My only request would be an option to download past radio broadcasts to an offline mode, like you can do with podcasts on iTunes/Spotify etc. As somebody who travels a lot and doesn’t always have cell reception, it would be very nice to still be able to listen to last night’s game to keep me company. I’m not a coder, and I have no clue if this is a difficult request or runs into some kind of streaming legality issues, but as a frequent user of the app this feature would be much appreciated! I can listen to my baseball podcasts on a plane or a car trip, but they just leave me wanting to listen to actual baseball itself.

Major league frustration. This app will let something exciting happen in the game or information in a pre or post game show and it will break away to a commercial or a prerecorded sound of a crowd and a ball hitting a bat and by the time you restart the app what ever was happening has passed and you missed it. I try to use this app to listen to games while I work but was finding it was costing me even more money than the wasted money spent on a useless app because I was literally walking to the phone to restart the app and then walking back to my work and by the time I picked up my tools the app had broken away to a prerecorded crowd Noise again. It will be playing the game I want to hear and then in the middle of a play it will also break away to commercials for the app also. I own a business and if my work was as useless to my customers as this app is I would be starving and homeless. Basically screen doors on a submarine function better than this app.

Invaluable App with Serious Problems. I can’t imagine baseball life without this app. All the markets broadcast n one place, by each team’s actual announcers? Sign me up! (I use Gameday Audio exclusively.) But the app comes with some fatal flaws. Often the app just quits broadcasting - it gets stuck buffering or says “playback failed.” I must go through a series of needless steps to get it working again. If I’m listening in the car or drifting off to sleep, I’m screwed. I’ve missed crucial plays because of this problem. Until MLB fixes this “consistency” problem, I can only give it 3 stars. Wish I could give it 5, for it provides a large quantity of team news, box scores, and even archives games for later listening. Yet I’m there primarily for the broadcasts, and the app often falls short in this function.

40 + year fan of Astros & MLB. MLB has truly disgusted every baseball fan I know including me to the point of we’re done with MLB. I’ve been an Astros fan for over 40 years and an MLB fan as well. I’ve been to more Astros games in the dome then I can count while living in Houston. I live in Ft Worth Texas and have for 20 years yet I can’t even pay an annual fee to watch the Astros or Rangers games on TV. They have blocked games of the Astros from us and the Texas Rangers as well. I’m 66 yrs and disabled so I can’t go to a game in Houston or Arlington TX. MLB why have you abandoned us? Unless things change for the good of your fans we’re done with MLB. In the 90’s I lived in LA and went to the Dodgers games and watched them on TV with friends and family. Now they can’t get California games. I hope all fans boycott MLB until you let us watch our preferred teams. We’ll pay to watch them on TV. So for now good writtens.

This app was incredible… now it’s a disgrace and a sham.. I’ve had the MLB app since it was known as AtBat and have paid for a subscription since then… I have contemplated getting rid of the app and subscription for several years now, and I can finally say I’m going to bite the bullet and quit it. There is literally nothing on the app that you can’t do for free elsewhere now. What pushes me over the edge is the radio and video playback (not to mention the countless other bugs/issues in). The fact that with the subscription MLB only shows us the scoring videos without ads is a COMPLETE SHAM. We used to be able to watch every game video without ads… now you have to watch more even though you pay money??? Mega disappointment. And perhaps to put the cherry on top… the radio playback is a complete disaster. Since MLB switched to Audacy last year it’s never been the same. The quality and playback are nonexistent. Why try to listen here when you can listen on literally so many other apps?? I had hope that this year they would make necessary changes and come up with solutions to the apps many persistent issues. But obviously this is not the case. If I could get my money back for the subscription, I would delete it right now. This app used to be absolutely indispensable to baseball fans. Now it’s broken and not worth having it on your phone… the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind over this mess.

Needs Improvements. There’s 2 mains reasons why I’ll never pay monthly to watch games on the MLB app, and they both have to do with MLB Big Inning. 1. Each user should be individually in control of which game to hear when there’s multiple games going on, instead of Matt Yallof. In fact please let him go, there’s no need for him, or any narrator/controller for that fact. 2. Big Inning needs to be available anytime there’s more than 1 game going on simultaneously, instead of 3 measly hours of each day. It’s annoying trying to flip around each game to find whatever game’s not on a commercial break when there’s multiple games on at once, but when MLB Big Inning is on, its nice to have all games in action on 1 screen all in 1 place but its also equally as annoying as flipping around because you have to listen to Matt Yallof’s dumb commentary & mumbling for 2.5 out of the 3 hours that it airs daily. My time & money are both scarce & precious, and this app is worth neither of them.

You're Still the Gold Standard, but Could You Chill withthe Ads. This app still is the best of all the sporting organizations in the United States. I sincerely appreciate the consistent good quality in accessibility and usability. However, there is one glaring problem that takes me from 5 stars to 4. I have the MLB audio subscription and, for the most part, it is amazing. However, the product has been really damaged by the built-in ads that turn on any time there's a break. They are the same pepetitive ads, which gets very tiresome. However, I could tolerate that. However, what is currently really annoying is the ads will cut in before the broadcasters have thrown it to a break. Or, even worse, the ads cut into game time after the radio broadcast has returned from the break. This is just very bad practice. especially during the play-offs. I hope you will consider fixing this issue. Beyond that, please keep up the great work.

The Radio Commercials are Awful- 27 Times Each Per Game!. The ads pollute our National airwaves with stupidity. Many of the ads are played at least 27 times per game. What’s up MLB? You think that’s OK? It’s not. The stupid ad for men’s shorts, the stupid ad for wedding rings and the stupid ad for an energy drink. These ads are more appropriate for Guantanamo Bay than baseball. They torture the listener. I’ll be cancelling my subscription due to this. It’s not worth it. (I’d like to listen to games on this app but again and again, the commercials are way too repetitive, annoying and louder than the broadcast. I really like hearing games from all over our nation, but the ads diminish that value to zero. When you pay for a subscription it should be ad free; or at least just keep the local ads, that might give it some local character. Don’t pipe in the crappy made to be national characterless ads over the local ones, over and over. It’s sickening. Have some dignity MLB.)

Fails in so many ways. Sep 30, 2023, Rangers@Mariners cut off the last of the ninth when Texas clinched a playoff spot and celebrated? You people hate Houston and Texas, don’t you? I can’t even hear the Mariners call of the end of the game? OMG! App crashes a LOT and when you pause it, you better remember what time, date, and team you left, because the app won’t remember or help you find it. Mariners feed: Dead air for some commercial breaks? Live Feeds: Repetitive public service announcements played over the commercials and cuts announcers off too soon in the middle of a heartfelt tribute to a recently passed Hall-of-famer? OMG! Those companies paid good money for those commercials and you just cut them out! The ads are too repetitive on the Rangers and Astros feed for sure though! Can you not sell any more ads? Can Coca-Cola come up with a worse commercial? “We’re on the air!” OMG! Rangers feed: Jared is way TOO LOUD or Eric and Matt are too quiet. Astros feed: Radio engineer doesn’t know how to fade songs. Steve Sparks is hilarious though! SPARKY LIKE-EEE!

Great App. I wrote the review below last year. I had to downgrade it one star because it has become slow to open. Everything has become slower in the app too. I like to read the bios of the players, but it’s excruciatingly slow. It’s very different this year. It’s got a new look when it opens, so the developer made some changes that have affected the performance. It’s not my internet. It is fast, and all my other apps do not have this problem. Sometimes it’s better not to fix it when it ain’t broken. I’m a Southern California Cubs fan and subscribe to MLB to watch my Cubbies. It’s such a great deal. The only drawback is that I spend way too much time watching baseball. I saw almost every game last year and the year before.

MLB TV. I am a lifelong Dodger fan and supporter. I saw one game at Ebbets Field in which Duke Snider and Willie Mays hit home runs. Willie Mays was the best player because Mickey Mantle hurt his foot in a drain at Yankee Stadium. Sandy Koufax was the greatest player of my generation and maybe of all time for 5 years. I met with him one day and made friends with him. I told him about personal relationships in his life. He gave me a free baseball. I am 73 years old. I want to meet with him again before one of us dies-paid kindly by the Dodgers for us. My wife is also a great Dodger fan. When she goes to bed, I have to always tell her the Dodger’s score. Sandy Koufax should be even more Nationalized while he is still alive. He is beyond believable!!!

Annoying CarPlay issues. Every time I launch the MLB app through CarPlay, I am asked to log in. I then have to take my phone out and log in to the app. Only at that point, I can access the day’s schedule and listen to the various games. This behavior is worse than it used to be. It defeats the entire purpose of hands free driving. Other than the above, I love the app when it’s just the smartphone experience. At the time of my original view, I gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars because I found the app to be very reliable outside of my CarPlay issues. However, since that time I have noticed no change in the described behavior nor has anyone reached out to try and troubleshoot the problem. The answer to my troubleshooting efforts is: “Yes, I have rebooted the phone and stopped other apps from running and yet the behavior doesn’t change. That is every time I launch the MLB app from the CarPlay interface, it tells me I need a subscription. I then have to launch the app from my phone and tell it to launch my current subscription before I can get a list of the day’s games.“ This does not make for a pleasant experience. Frankly, I find the hoop jumping behavior to be “ridiculous”. As such, I have revised my rating down to a single star. Maybe this will get someone’s attention. Perhaps, it will even prompt MLB (and/or possibly Apple) into finding a solution to the issue. MLB and Apple need to work on solving

Home Page is stupid. I use the mlb app to track games and use mlb tv every once in a while. Everything works as it should, aside from some occasional bugs and glitches. The thing I HATEEE the most about this app is this new forced home page they added for the 2023 season. I used to be able to open the app to see the Yankees schedule and Yankees details (as they were my “favorited” team). Now I have the brief preview on the home page with all the other info with MLB. If I want to go into the details for the Yankees, I have to press at the top, another action for no reason. Get rid of this forced home screen thing or at least give us an option to have it be like last years app that takes u to the team page when you open the app.

Keeps Getting Worse. This app used to be such a great app. I remember the original At Bat app back on the first generation iPad. It was an amazing app, great video, all the news stories loaded instantly, game day was attractive with all information easy to see and find as you followed along with the action. For many years this app worked great, but then they began to make it more like a glorified website in an app framework, and the decline began. This year it’s truly a terrible app. You might as well just visit their website. The app is slow, the video is hard to find and audio is always muted, news stories load slowly like a webpage, game day is extremely limited in what information you can see at the same time, and Live Activities is crippled on iPhone 14 Pro. I really can’t say enough about how bad this app has become, and it seems like many other reviewers have the same feedback. Please roll it back to what it was in 2015, and we’ll all be much happier baseball fans.

You only get to watch about half of your teams games. NOT WORTH PAYING FOR. If I was paying extra every month to be able to watch every single baseball game, then there may be some justification for this subscription. But I’m not. The reality is that between blackouts and other networks purchasing games from MLB, you truthfully need this subscription, an Apple TV subscription, and a VPN to even come close to being able to watch all of your teams games. So, if you truly want the ability to watch all baseball games, be ready to pay far more than what the subscription cost. Even then expect it to be considerably difficult to watch a number of games throughout the year. Why am I paying for a major league baseball product that does not even have access to all major league baseball games…do you not have rights to your own media or is this truly just a greed game?

Best for highlights. Best app to watch highlights on. Have to wait for complete game highlights, otherwise the snippets that they post throughout the game are in no particular order, makes absolutely no sense. You cannot select the first video and watch in sequential order, the first and last video could both be from the end of the game. Kind of ruins the experience for those who can’t afford to pay to stream games. EDIT: this app does not work well. Everything freezes, replays to radio. They own the rights to any game out of market - means I cannot listen to a mariners game in Virginia without reconnecting to the stream at least 35 times per game. If it were free I wouldn’t be complaining but paying for something that doesn’t work, just because they own a monopoly doesn’t sit well with me. This app feels like it was put together by someone that doesn’t watch sports and has no general idea of user experience. Latest update makes it hard to find anything. Very disappointing. Very close to paying more money for radio stream elsewhere.

The app keeps making me log out. The app keeps making me log out on my iPad and now I cannot log back in. I’ve paid for this app for several years and enjoyed it but now, it is horrible. Besides logging me out constantly, I do not like the layout. It takes several more clicks now to get to the screen for viewing all the scores…and if I want to watch, it takes you to another screen to choose the team again. It appears that someone “upgraded the layout” who does not understand what fans want. UPDATE: I still cannot log in on my iPad to watch games. I can see them on my iPhone. This is horrible. I paid too much money to be able to watch games on my iPad and it keeps coming up with an error when it asks me to log in. Horrible app and layout this year. I don’t plan to buy it next year and would like my money back if you cannot fix the app for this year. Each year seeems to have gotten worse.

Good Idea, Horrible Execution. The concept is great but at times it feels like a neglected service that’s been left on the back burner to boil away. For starters, you can’t mirror it to your tv without the app crashing and mirroring is important because not every tv has the app. The blackouts are a nuisance and every games broadcast starts a whole hour and thirty minutes before the first pitch, but you dont see the pregame coverage. Instead, you are greeted with a screen that says the game will begin soon. This means that when ever you want to watch a game from the beginning you have to scrub until you actually see the game coverage and the scrubber is less than friendly. I often find myself lost when the app inevitably crashes, trying to fine tune a scrubber bar through 4 hours of recorded video with no bar markers or fine tuning option to slow things down. All of this and a litany of other issues that have been pointed out in numerous reviews topped with an increase in price for little return value results in myself not renewing my subscription at the end of this season, shame on MLB for such blown potential.

Getting Better But Not There Yet. Two things I would really like to see to rate this app five stars. Box score and highlights and condensed videos available on the Home Screen for my favorite team. I see that I can get this info now if I click scores. I enjoy seeing the box score below the score. Also access to the condensed game and highlights videos from the Home Screen would be preferred. Also still having issues with videos starting off muted and having to unmute. Clicking the all videos button on the Home Screen and being taken to a website page within the app is undesirable. The user experience of watching videos from the website is terrible. Please have them embedded and playable from the app and not load from a website page.

Terrible Casting Experience. I hate the casting experience. I watch half a game, come back the next day to finish, and the app won’t let me resume from where I left off. So, I try to slew to the approximate hour/minute where I left off. The stream is paused, so I hit “play” and it returns me to the very beginning of the broadcast, not the hour/minute I chose. Also, the 30 second fast forward/rewind buttons don’t do anything, they are just for visual appeal I suppose. When I say they don’t do anything, I mean just that. Non functional. Oh and the RSN’s…don’t get me started on that terrible arrangement that MLB has in order to screw fans and reduce overall accessibility to live games. I hope someone gets fired for coming up with that idea.

Blackout bandits. You need to stop with all the blackouts! Draw a circle with a 300 mile radius and only black out those folk because they can drive to the games and buy tickets. Instead you blackout the Astros from me here in southern New Mexico which is almost 800 miles away! Really? Do you think I will drive or fly to every game cause I am so close? Never gonna happen! Not to mention you blackout San Diego and Arizona! Ok, I get it with Arizona but c’mon Houston? I can watch the Rockies but not Houston or the Padres. It makes no sense. Now, on top of that I am retired and on a fixed income so if I go to just one game in five years I will be surprised. I save my money for the minor league teams I can see in El Paso. So relax you restrictions already on all the blackouts!

Wrong Team, Bad Audio. I just don’t get it. I understand not playing the radio station’s ads during the game, but when you have “Cardinals” selected as your preferred team and you are listening to the Cardinals play any (and every) team except the Cubs, does it make sense that every single ad is for the “Official Champagne Provider for the Chicago Cubs” or the “Official Water Efficiency Company for the Chicago Cubs” or the “Official Hospital and Rehab Center for the Chicago Cubs” or the “Best Steakhouse to visit on your way to Wrigley” or “What’s Happening Now in Des Moines with the Iowa Cubs? or… or… or…? Of course, that is when the audio feed, for which you have to pay a subscription fee, is actually working. I understand a brief time delay, but as the innings progress, it lags further and further behind, until about 3 innings in and it just chokes on an infinite buffering loop. So you reset the app (or sometimes your entire phone) to get the feed to connect again, but you only get a couple of innings again until it hangs up buffering again. For the flagship content app for MLB, its features seem decades behind the times.

Glen. All these outsourced games to Disney, apple, peacock, you tube is a rip off for people who buy a season long subscription to mlb at bat. We pay to watch all the games. It’s bad enough that in market games are excluded. Losing another third of the season in games to outsourced broadcasters borders on fraud. Time for the commissioner to say season subscriptions are season subscriptions. No lost games to companies that I don’t want to do business with, or don’t want on my computer, asking me to buy into their services, or having to wait for three hours to watch a game I already paid to watch. Making small print to “cya” with selling out mlb games isn’t right. (What if the game is west coast and it ends at 11pm. I can’t watch it until 2 am.? Who’s going to stay up to watch a game at that hour? STOP RIPPING THE FANS OFF! TIME FOR THE COMMISSIONER TO BE FAIR WITH THE PAYING FANS !

Notifications broke with app update; customer service didn’t work. I’ve been using the app for years and it worked fine. I had notifications setup to get alerts when games ended for my favorite team. However, after a recent app update I started getting tons of extra notifications (player news, trades, tons of highlights) that I didn’t sign up for. I re-verified in the app that I had only signed up for end of game notifications but something I had broken after an app update. I contacted customer service but just got back a boiler plate response telling me how to setup notifications, banners, etc. It didn’t acknowledge that I had already done that and was contacting them because the app was sending excessive notifications that should have been turned off. Hopefully they can fix the problem in a future app update…

Your game will be spoiled. I don't understand why MLB can't seem to understand that some people like to watch the game after it has finished. And that those people may not know who won the game, and furthermore may have actively tried to avoid seeing who won the game so that when they watch it they get the excitement of not knowing who won. This MLB app does everything possible to ensure you can't avoid seeing who won the game. Even if you have hide scores clicked on, the home screen will clearlyn show you who won the game by putting a picture of the winning team up. And now, as if that wasn't spoiler enough, it also shows both teams record! So if you know what your teams record was going into the game you will easily see who the winner was by that fact which is thrown in your face. It's obvious that whoever is in charge is not a fan otherwise this would have never happened. Fix this garbage.

STILL AWAITING AN ANSWER ON WHY WE MUST we now hear a FULL Commercial before we can hear game action. Edit. THE FOLLOWING QUESTION STILL HASN’T BEEN ANSWERED, NOR HAVE YOU FIXED THE ISSUE: MLB Audio has gotten progressively worse ever since your deal with Audacy where you allow them control of the live radio broadcasts went live in June 2022. It began with the rewind and fast forward functions disabled until the game ended and went to archive. Next, despite REPEATED complaints from many users, the start and end of innings was cut off so Audacy could begin its overplayed commercials. AND NOW, THE LATEST: in recent days, when we want to go to listen to a game or game feed, or we want to jump around to different games, we first have to hear an ENTIRE commercial before we are able to hear any game action. This is true even if the game is in the middle of an inning. WHY, when we are PAYING for mlb audio do we have to hear an AD just to be able to hear game Action???? I can understand having to hear the commercials between innings but having to hear an ad just to be able to access the games we already are PAYING to hear is totally unacceptable.

New 3D game play by play feature is amazing!. This app has always been my go to for the ability to watch and listen to live games. Based on your location certain games may not be available to watch but you can still listen. As an avid fan I did not mind and would often follow along use the 2D play by play. Yesterday I noticed the 3D play by play and was nothing short of AMAZED! This feature tracks the ball and shows full movement through out the field. Gone are the 2D pitcher and batter box. You can follow along in virtual real time, see the pitcher warm up between inning, and rocket through the field if a ball is put in play. Truly revolutionary feature this app upgrade is worthy of a glowing review! Outstanding workaround for games that are blacked out in your region. If you love following the action pitch by pitch this will more than satisfy the itch. Game on!!

Not a Fan of the New Standings Update. I love this app for following my favorite team, particularly when I can’t watch the game. However, I really don’t like the visual of the standings that came with the latest update. From a graphics perspective it all runs together. There aren’t clear differences between divisions. The lines all look the same and it just seems to run together, and I really don’t like that I have to scroll to see the big picture. It’s hard on the eyes on a mobile screen. Interesting to have more stats, but does the average user really need all of those?Love this app, but the graphics in the Standings are not easy on the eyes and annoying to use and look at.

2023 mlb is not done well. The new version for this year was not done very well. The new home theme is pointless and worse than the old one. It often takes a long time to load the app. Frustrating experience. Also, I don’t like that the only option when watching live games or full game replay is a 30 second rewind or fast forward. Pitches take less time this year and the app should adjust accordingly. Also if a am busy and missed a game and would like to watch the condensed game, it is a) hard to get to without spoiling the outcome for me (even with ‘hide scores’ on), and when I am watching it, it is obvious who the play is good for based off which team is announcing the play. They should have the team and the plate announcers ALWAYS- this way we won’t know the outcome of the play. Also I wish they had an option for watching every plate appearance- like a longer condensed game

Every Year There’s A New Issue. It’s the only way to watch the sport I love, but every year the app finds a new way to just make things more difficult than it needs to be. I’m in Australia and the fact the app can’t/wont account for basic dateline issues is crazy. It’s really straightforward stuff if you’re trying to build the international brand … So don’t start me on blackouts …. IN AUSTRALIA!!!

Needs to be more consistent. I’ve been using this app for years to stream baseball games. It is ok but could be much better. The problem is that at the beginning of every baseball season, the developers change it and manage to completely screw up the functionality. It is like they don’t do user acceptance testing, or the users who do the testing don’t actually like listening to baseball on the radio. Infuriating. But I’ll keep paying for it because i have no other choice if I want to listen to baseball. I think MLB knows this.

Mlbtv does not work. 4th year paying for an mlbtv subscription, but the app won’t play any video feeds. Support won’t get back to me or fix the problem so hope they see this.

Scores tab doesn’t convert Timezone. The scores tab used to know which Timezone you were in and put you on the right day, it seems the game start times convert fine but I’m always defaulted to yesterday and have to click forward a day.

Good but could be better. The new “front page” is a step backwards. Calendar is inaccurate for people in Australia. Eg Tuesday games are showing as Thursday in Australia. Please fix.

Awesome!. Keep up the the great work folks, loving the accuracy and liveness of it all each day!

Goes alright. It's a good app that gets me what I want, when I want. Easy to use and keeps everything simple.

Scores shows previous days and not current. Loved that app until they did an update and now previous day scores are showing instead of the current day which makes the Apple Watch app useless. Contacted support 3 times and they keep giving me different solutions that don’t work and have nothing to do with the issue!

Would be one of the better sports apps, but lets itself down. For the most part, this is a great app, by major sport league standards. Decent enough UI, plenty of features. However, two things in particular are driving me crazy at the moment: Firstly, the app is incredibly annoying to use outside of US time zones due to the fact that it doesn’t handle different time zones well at all. As an Aussie, the app constantly shows yesterday’s games as “today’s games”, which is obviously a little annoying, but also requires an extra tap or swipe when I just want to quickly check current scores. The Google TV app suffers from the same issue, and it’s even more annoying on a TV. Secondly, the Live Activities feature is great and for the most part works exactly as I’d like. However, you can only start Live Activities for your ‘favourite’ team. This seems like such a pointless restriction. Believe it not, sometimes I’m interested in other teams too! I also wish Live Activities could be initiated in the same way as just about every other app, by long-pressing the game in the list of today’s games. It makes more sense than a tiny button underneath, and it would also work better if tracking multiple teams does end up being supported. A bonus feature would be the option to automatically start Live Activities for teams you follow, as some other apps allow.

Great, can always be better.. Great app, everything is easy to use. Please keep it that way. Thanks.

Not great for different time zones. Shows the wrong games when you’re in a different time zone. I’m in Australia and it lists the games for the day previously, including MiLB. Not very user friendly Would be easier if it were adapted for local time zones of the user The website is the same

MLB. Love Major League Baseball one of my favorite sports with NHL overall love all American sports from a mega fan in Australia 🇦🇺

App structure. The old app was better. This new version is harder to navigate and box scores require to many steps to get to. The old app had it at the top as soon as you open the app.

International time zone is wrong.. Too many issues relating to international time zones and the calendar. Doesn’t take you to the right day of games when looking at the scores and doesn’t take you to the right day for listening or watching.

MLB App has it all. It feels as it was made by fans for all the fans. Comprehensive App, love it!!!

The MLB APP IS AWESOME!. I downloaded the MLB app onto my phone, and it is splendid! I can watch the games on TV while seeing the scores in real time, PLUS all the special shots! The app gives me the game starting times and so much more. It hasn’t failed me yet!

Fix the time zone issue. The app has been great up until this season when iPad/iPhone users have to set their device to New York time zone to be able to watch games when your actual time zone is the other side of the international date line. When will this be fixed

Comprehensive. Hands down the best sports app with live streaming, videos, highlights and all the stats.

Great Articles.. Great articles which are accurate and unbiased which l really enjoy reading.

fixed for Australia. Thanks for listening and fixing the app for Australian subscribers. Working great now.

Amazing way to keep up with MLB. I love this app! I have been subscribing for the last 8 years and I have never been so up-to-date with the game and my favourite teams. And I really love the ability to be able to watch any baseball game so I can continue to follow my favourite players and see the up and coming talent through the rest of the league. It is well worth it. 11/10 always.

Needs some improvements in functionality and access. Takes too long to get into the game you want, the dates don’t line up to time zones outside of America and when you get to the game it can take several attempts to view the game. Opening Big Inning is different on different iOS devices and often doesn’t work and there’s no access to the MLB network despite the price.

No longer supporting iOS less than 16.0. Thanks a lot for no longer supporting devices running less than 16.0. Extremely poor way to treat long term subscribers.

Worst app in sports. On mobile devices they make it near impossible to try watch a game on demand or even the highlights, without see the outcome titled on another video. They also over charge and then just apologise, don’t actually right their wrong.

Has MLB app gotten worse?. I’ve used and subscribed to the MLB app for nearly 10 yrs it seems to have just gotten worse with every upgrade. - It doesn’t know what day it is. I open the app and need to swipe to the next day. On the iPad sometimes two days. - the steps to start the radio broadcast has become way to complicated. It seems to have added the forementioned date adjust (see above) then several more irrelevant steps to get the broadcast to start. If it starts at all. - often the radio broadcast will not run at all or when it does randomly stops mid stream. Wi-Fi issues? Maybe. But definitely worse than the past versions. - what’s with the ad breaks and canned crowd noise? The US market ads are MUCH better than crowd noise. Who thought that was a good idea is likely homeless. The cost of this is way too much for this. It’s devolving in to app user hell.

Not working for Australia. This is normally a great App, but this time it doesn’t work for Australia with no video feeds and dates and times of games totally corrupted. Very disappointing not to be able to watch any spring training. Support suggested changing Timezone of phone. This can’t be serious and it didn’t work! Coming up to start of season and I have paid $250 AUD without any ability to watch games. Please get it fixed so it works as it did in previous years.

Love the MLB App. When I can’t watch a Mets game live I use the MLB App to catch up on all what is going on with how the Mets are playing and watching any highlights or lowlights when it comes to the Mets. #LGM

Really bad for different countries. Time zones always mess up and can’t load game day videos. Can’t look up previous game videos as they don’t load. Live in Australia

Hope they fix this!. I’m based in Australia and have purchased the season pass for years, absolutely loved it. With this new version, however, I’m unable to watch live games so far this year from the iPhone app. The only response I’ve gotten from CS is to change the time zone setting on my iPhone to EST. Not good enough.

Updated app is horrible to use. Updated app this year is horrible to use, is quite clunky and doesn’t always work. MLB subscription is also going downhill as not all games are available

Front page. So many bugs in the app. Why is there a new front page?????? It doesn’t even have the most recent or active game half the time! I just want the old front page for my team but now I have to click to go to it! The new front page should be the one I have to click to go to. The tv stream doesn’t link to the right game from that page and it the same issue with the radio. It starts playing yesterday’s game. I also do a tipping comp and if I go from my tipping app to the mlb tv app and vice versa for the next days games it then resets back to the top of the games list screen. It never used to do that! Please fix these things and return it to the 5 star app it was!

Doesn’t work. I tried creating an account to sign up so I could get all the baseball I wanted, but every time I tried to make an account, after typing in an email address, filling out a password and my birthday, it would always flash the same message on screen: An error has occurred. Needs to be fixed.

Can’t watch games from Australia. The update has stopped access to games. Paid money for a subscription for nothing. Please fix it

Fix the time difference for international viewers!. I can’t open the current (live) game in the MLBTV app because it defaults to yesterday’s (Archived) games, presumably due to the time difference between Australia and the US. Infuriating! Surely there is a simple fix — especially given that this never used to be a problem in previous seasons…

Gameday. Bring back the old gameday pitch by pitch, the new gameday you have to click on each player to get their average, roll up and down the screen to get all the info, pitch info is delayed by a few seconds which is annoying, apart from this its good

Horrible Update. MLB had by far the best sports app until the update at the start of the season. Now it’s buggy, laggy, crashes. I have to re-start the app 5 times to get MLB TV on current day Please take me back to the old version

MLB fails on time zones around the world. It’s always getting the date wrong at particular times of day. Right now I’m on the app trying to watch a live game if it only shows me yesterday’s games

Dates are all missed up. The app used to be a 5 star app until the 29th of February when they did something to it and at first I wasn’t able to watch any games then they sort of fixed it by telling me to change the time and date to New York time from Australian time. Now it affects my Apple Watch iPhone and iPad

Getting to MLB TV current games is terrible. For me, and maybe it is because I’m in Australia, when I click to watch games it gives me yesterday's games. I have to go a day ahead to find the current games. Whole app is glitchy when it comes to live content.

Australian Fan. It’s great to be able to receive updates on all games on a daily basis, otherwise I would have to wait for the local newspaper which only has a weekly report on USA games.

2023 App is worse than ever. It's like Rob Manfred designed it. Terrible design, scores don't show, takes forever to load and I won't be renewing tv membership as Apple TV blocks out Friday night games even when I've paid for tge MLB membership to watch them🤬🤬🤬

Good. Resets every time you re open the app

Not a good as before. Watching games is not as good as is used to be. The app thinks I’m in the US when I’m not and there’s an error with dates and schedules. All this for a higher fee.

Audio & Video Streaming Vastly Delayed. Notifications are 30 seconds ahead.. Lies ! Apple TV Australia blocks your ability to watch every game. They’re all out of market when you’re in another country. Also, when streaming video or audio, in Australia at least. The push notifications come through between 30 seconds - 1 minute BEFORE you hear or see. Quite frustrating. Otherwise an very good App.

Update failed. The update to this app is horrible. Constantly fails to load. Crashes all the time. Please revert back to the previous version.

Playback is the main problem. There are lots and lots of features, and that’s all very well, but you’re losing track of the real reason for having the app.. to watch games. Playback has a lot of room for improvement. 1. Handling interruptions. Watching a game on the mobile, I’m going to get interrupted. Every time I take a call, playback crashes and I have to start the game over. Absolutely white hot rage infuriating. Cause you KNOW it will only happen at a key moment… then trying to pick back off where I left usually means a spoiler. Same if I have to switch to another app myself… often loses my place. Which brings me to 2. Navigating in the game. Baseball naturally has chapters. If I leave the game in the top of the third, two outs, let me FIND the top of the third, two outs. Or at the very least the top of the third! And if I’ve already started watching, and close the app, remember where I was!!! 3. Bandwidth. Even watching on a little mobile screen, this app consumes a huge amount of data. It means it doesn’t take much for playback video and audio quality to get very bad, very quickly. Netflix manages to scale its feed so you can have high quality playback on a small screen with less data. Why can’t you? Don’t send a full 4K signal (or bust) suitable for an 80” tv screen to my little phone… Playing back the game, in a mobile phone using context is the mail purpose of the mobile app. Be better.

Cannot open. App when opened says it needs an update. Then I click on get updates and I do have the latest version

Love it but issue with day/time zone. I’m in Australia so USA is a day behind me but the app is a day ahead for some reason. Today is Wednesday 13th March in Australia but the games today are under the date of Thursday March 14? If it was USA time it should be 12th March? Still 5 stars despite that, but would love to have it fixed before regular season starts.

Worst app ever. Long time paid up subscriber. Most unstable and buggy app I’ve ever downloaded. And has been getting worse over past 5-7 years. Can you not fix this given your enormous resources?! Crazy

New update is terrible. New update has changed the Home Screen to a much worse one and now shows the previous days game. Please revert to how it was, there was nothing wrong with it

Their practices should be illegal. If you subscribe you’re an idiot. First of all, they charge $200/year and you can’t even watch any Blue Jays games at all because they’re all blacked out in Canada. They take your money and won’t let you watch any games. The people behind this business should be locked up because this is robbery and should be illegal. Boycott this company

Very good. Always keeps me updated

Gem of an app. Absolutely fantastic app. I was genuinely surprised at how they listen to feedback and work to make the experience better.

MLB does not care about it’s fans. I recently purchased mlb.tv single team pass to watch the Toronto Blue Jays. I travel throughout the States for my work. My Canadian provider won’t let me watch games while down here. Watched last night’s game in Fremont IN but tonight in Davenport IA the game is apparently under a blackout. Really.. I’m paying my provider in Canada and MLB in the states but that’s apparently not enough for them. Disgusting! One guy trying to follow one team . Come on MLB what’s the hard part? P.S… Tried to use “unhappy fan” for a nickname on the review but guess what…. It’s already taken… go figure

Good. W rizz

High cellular data usage. Great app but seems to use a lot of cellular data. I open the app then go to a team’s page and then scroll down and up a couple times and I’ve already used over 100MB of data just by doing that. What is it doing in the background is it auto downloading videos? Only thing I can think of that might cause the high data usage….

Can’t log in. I set up an account and tried to log on unsuccessfully. Very frustrating. I wanted information about purchasing a month to watch the Blue Jays.

Sept 30 2023. MLB needs a playoff specific app.

Best App in Sports. Everything seems to work fine besides the news tab on IOS. News only seems to filter to an individual team, not the whole league. Other than that the UI is perfect and the app works well.

Apple Watch Update is way worse. You guys ruined the Apple Watch app. You can’t click on a single game to open it up to keep refreshing that single game now every time it updates it scrolls to the top of the scores list. Very annoying scrolling down every 10 seconds when the old way of opening a new page worked great.

Mlb. Work great

Data hog. Don’t get this app unless you have unlimited data… there is something wrong with it and you will pay massive overage charges. Seek local radio alternatives.

Underwhelming. You have to pay $130 just to watch baseball it is literally cheaper to go to the game

Condensed Games. Any chance the condensed games could be like 20-25 minutes? Showing more highlights…?

No Blue Jays! What the H…. No Blue Jays! What the H…

Blue jays blackout. I live on the west coast of canada nowhere near Toronto and it’s blacked out. I have sports net and I use my online cable app to watch the jays play. If wasn’t also a mariners fan because they are my closest team I wouldn’t want the subscription or use the app. You should do what wwe online does and connect to the cable subscription example Shaw is my pass verifying I’m a sports net customer in good standing or tsn whatever

I just want to cancel!. The package was fine. It’s pretty annoying with all the updates. I didn’t need all those updates and when I want to cancel it, it nearly makes it impossible to cancel. Even when I don’t put money on my credit card soon as money goes on MLB takes it and I’m not happy I don’t even want the package.

Crashing. Constantly crashes while trying to watch the. Paying for the Red Sox games, terrible customer support

Fail.. I was soooo hyped that I was gonna get access to awesome MLB content. Turns out 95% of what I wanted to watch was blacked out. I loved paying close to 300$ for frustration, frustration and more frustration! No access to Jay's games. Sportsnet is the only solution.

Back to the top. My only complaint about this app (which is one of my favourite apps, don’t get me wrong) is when you are going through scores, and then you open up a games box score… but when you go back to the scores, it automatically takes you back to the top. I find this very annoying as you could be 2/3 of the way down the list of games, then it takes you back to the top when you exit the box score for that game.

Sooo buggy. This app is so highly rated but I don’t get how. It’s so buggy. I get errors when trying to follow new plays and change the teams I follow. It took me deleting the app and signing in again to change my followed teams. Also get errors when trying to view stories.

A couple of problems. Overall I like the app, unfortunately, the last couple of years I have had many times where the tv feed is in Spanish when I click on a game. This didn’t happen the first few years I had it. Another recent problem is the app quitting while I am using it. It just happened now.

Awful Apple Watch Update. Stop refreshing every 10 seconds and allow me to click into a game I actually care about

Can you please bring back the 2021 MLB audio archives please. Can you please bring back the 2021 MLB audio archives please

MLB is so good. MLB is the best app for baseball info

Blackouts!. Can’t watch Blue Jays games. Blacked out always.

MLB app. Good app. Ways to follow every team in the league.

News Broken. App in broken, again. Can’t change the news feed page to MLB, only teams. Get your act together.

More blackouts only blackouts. Blue Jays are always in Blackout mode and now even the playoffs Dodgers vs Arizona? I live nowhere near these too and I can’t watch? Never paying again for this app. So disappointed and waste of money

Black out. Seriously why purchase mlb tv when you cant watch playoffs because of tv blackout ???? Its a steal

Poor ads between innings. And obnoxious crowd noise interrupts my listening experience on the audio broadcasts in Canada. This is so unattractive.

Apple TV???. I pay for MLB (quite a bit of money for the whole season) and now I can’t even watch all the games because all of a sudden, I need Apple TV+ to watch? Since when? And why? This is ridiculous

Audio used to be reliable. Used to be a thousand commercials, now just applause that rarely returns to LIVE action. I'm sure the shareholders will fix this after taking our money. lol

Not worth the money. Every time I go to watch a Jays game is it “not available” for my area.

Great. Awesome app 5 out of 5 ⭐️

Can’t watch premium games. Pay $150 for this. It’s day two of the season, and two of the biggest games are restricted and only available through AppleTV+. Dodgers, Yankees, astros, can’t watch them. I don’t understand what I’m paying for here. Within your market I understand, this, I do not.

Blue jays. Every time I want to watch a blue jays game I can never get it. Very disappointed.

Best sports streaming app on market!. Hands down the best subscription for a sports streaming service out there. 10/10

Crashing and crashing as of June 22/23 update. I'm having tons of issues with video constantly crashing on my new 9th generation iPad. This has gotten worse with the Jun 22/23 update.

Ne fonctionne plus sur iPad. Très déçu que l’application ne fonctionne plus sur iPad. J’ai un iPad derniere génération mais je suis obliger de prendre mon téléphone pour consulter App

Ok app. This app is ok but since the changes, we can no longer see who it pitching at a particular time. It only tells us when a pitcher has been changed. Please fix this.

Games only play in Spanish. I can only watch games in Spanish. The English language audio won’t play. I have been asking tech support for help for weeks but they keep asking me the same questions over and over. This is not being addressed. Terrible customer service.

MLB. Great up to date coverage 🤩👍

Just awful. I have subscribed to this app for 3 years. Each week they find a new way to annoy me. Often it won’t open at all, or just gets stuck on the logo welcome screen, or if you choose a game you will see an icon of a baseball spinning forever and nothing happens.

G. Best MLB app you can get this app has all the gooood stuff

Nesn Spanish. Nesn is in Spanish

App rarely opens. I’d say the app actually successfully opens about a third of the time of when I want to use it. I would expect the quality able to be financed by such a large organization would be far higher and this would never even be able to be considered a possibility, but I would be expecting too much from MLB for that. I often just have to check TheScore since MLB just has no interest in working for me.

Impossible d’ecouter un match. Impossible d’ecouter le match des blue jays sur l’application mobile

Schedule?. I can’t see the schedule when the game is on ???? Makes no sense

Big fan of baseball but MLB TV sells out on Fans. Loved the app, loved the subscription… until my son’s team’s game was blocked because MLB signed an exclusive with Apple and was only streaming the game on Apple TV +. That’s like ordering a hamburger, paying for said hamburger, taking a bite from said hamburger, then the waiter coming over and telling you that you have to pay more to take another bite. As we were unable to install Apple TV on my son’s device I have now cancelled both our family’s Apple TV and MLB TV subscriptions in protest. I have requested a full refund from MLB TV as I believe this new aggregate of the streaming service breaks the terms of service I signed up for. I also plan to pen a letter to the ownerships of our favourite teams we follow to explain that we do not appreciate how broadcast rights have been pooled into these aggregate services that pray on the fan’s pocketbook. Penny wise and pound foolish in the long run!

In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Triple Crown. The MLB app is absolutely phenomenal. As a lifelong baseball fan, I can honestly say this is one of the best sports apps ever created. The live game coverage is incredible, the real-time pitch tracking makes you feel like you’re sitting behind home plate, and the video highlights are lightning fast. Whether I’m following my favorite team, checking scores around the league, or listening to radio broadcasts while driving, this app delivers every single time. The interface is clean, smooth, and incredibly easy to navigate. Stats lovers, casual fans, fantasy players, and die-hard baseball junkies will all find something to love. The notifications are customizable and timely without being overwhelming, and the integration of news, standings, highlights, and game data is seamless. What really sets this app apart is how immersive it feels. During the season, it becomes part of my daily routine. From Spring Training to the World Series, the MLB app keeps me connected to the game I love better than any other sports platform out there. Simply put: if you love baseball even a little bit, this app is a must-have. Five stars isn’t enough — this is a grand slam of an app. ⚾🔥

40 + year fan of Astros & MLB. MLB has truly disgusted every baseball fan I know including me to the point of we’re done with MLB. I’ve been an Astros fan for over 40 years and an MLB fan as well. I’ve been to more Astros games in the dome then I can count while living in Houston. I live in Ft Worth Texas and have for 20 years yet I can’t even pay an annual fee to watch the Astros or Rangers games on TV. They have blocked games of the Astros from us and the Texas Rangers as well. I’m 66 yrs and disabled so I can’t go to a game in Houston or Arlington TX. MLB why have you abandoned us? Unless things change for the good of your fans we’re done with MLB. In the 90’s I lived in LA and went to the Dodgers games and watched them on TV with friends and family. Now they can’t get California games. I hope all fans boycott MLB until you let us watch our preferred teams. We’ll pay to watch them on TV. So for now good writtens.

Decent software parlaying a poor experience. Management interferes and detracts from the experience. Let them play the game! Many other reviewers have indicated their dissatisfaction with the blackout policy. As a fan who lives 139 miles from the team’s park, I’ll add my voice to the shouting masses. As for privacy, there’s none. “Nothin’ at all!” as Ned Flanders put it. Expect to have your location, your watching/listening history, what apps you use, and your entire browser history sold to every spammer and scammer that will pay for all your personal information. Because they can. After a recent app update, all my settings were changed without notifying me. Some “Live Activities Tracking” was switched on by default. This is sooooooo infuriating. Also they turned on a bunch of notifications I had repeatedly turned off. Maybe I don’t want to receive a phone notification when I’m in church when the opposing pitcher adjusts himself between pitches? This is called taking advantage of your fans. Perhaps if they treated the fans with a modicum of respect, there would be more of us, and our numbers would be growing, not diminishing? Or maybe if your news feed algorithm would quit stacking the news feed for my team with stories about their rivals and neighboring teams I don’t care about? The machine learnding is not intelligent enough yet. So, it’s decent at what it does, but set up to be deceiving and even abusive of its users, particularly their privacy, but they’ll do it because they can. Since this is the only way to access most information, too bad if you don’t like it. I use it because I have to.

Horrible usability. Very few users are going to leave this app open in the foreground. But if you don’t, the app will constantly reset itself, meaning that it quits playing audio in the middle of the game you’re listening to, takes you back to the main screen, loses not only the position of the game you were at while you were listening, but also loses the entire game, forcing you to go back through the schedule to the date of the game you were listening to, restart the game, and then try to scroll over to the approximate place where you were at when the app dumped all over you. I don’t know what person designed this app, but clearly they not only do not know anything about how to design an app, they clearly don’t understand how people want to use an app like this. It actually deserves zero stars. But of course that’s not an option. The people responsible for this app need to be fired, MLB needs to go back to the drawing board and design a functional app for users.

2023 mlb is not done well. The new version for this year was not done very well. The new home theme is pointless and worse than the old one. It often takes a long time to load the app. Frustrating experience. Also, I don’t like that the only option when watching live games or full game replay is a 30 second rewind or fast forward. Pitches take less time this year and the app should adjust accordingly. Also if a am busy and missed a game and would like to watch the condensed game, it is a) hard to get to without spoiling the outcome for me (even with ‘hide scores’ on), and when I am watching it, it is obvious who the play is good for based off which team is announcing the play. They should have the team and the plate announcers ALWAYS- this way we won’t know the outcome of the play. Also I wish they had an option for watching every plate appearance- like a longer condensed game

Erratic feeds. The biggest improvement I would like to see is in the audio feeds. Rain delays are somewhat common in our sport, but MLB does not keep us tuned in so as to easily ascertain when the game will begin again. It would be much easier if we could stay with the programming and if one is watching TV if we were automatically switched to the radio so we could be ready to go at the first pitch. And things seem to be getting worse this season instead of better, many times most of the pregame radio has not been available and lately the default feed has been the broadcast of the team that is playing my team instead of giving me what I am expecting to get. Also the postgame portions of both TV and radio are very erratic, sometimes the feed is cut off in the middle of the manager’s post game interview for instance.

Greatest baseball app ever but one issue. This app is great. I absolutely love the game day to help you visualize the game. And I also like how you can change your teams to follow and your favorite team. However, I had 3 teams that I was following. Then the complete revision came and I wanted to take them out cause of too much notifications. So I went to the followed teams and the only team I was following was my favorite team. But I was still getting notifications. I want to have peace while I’m laying in bed at night but I keep getting notifications from teams I don’t follow anymore. I hope that this issue (which is probably only with me) to be fixed. I hope you see this and know what’s going on because this is starting to become a problem. And if you do fix it then thank you.

Be weary of this one. The muscle of this app has atrophied steadily over the last 5 years. Player and team stats are nice, but if your reason for using this app is primarily for streaming radio games (my total preference since radio game-callers are so much better) be prepared to get annoyed. After paying 30 bucks you’d expect good performance. Instead, you get last innings clipped in favor of commercials. Switching between games works only 50% of the time. On those occasions the app freezes. You can file a complaint but don’t expect a reply. Oh! And did I mention the same annoying commercials after every half inning? There must be just a handful. They play about a dozen times per game. The same ones! To make it worse, the postgame shows are NOW chopped off almost immediately after the game is over. The app NEVER used to do that. You’re better off downloading the local radio app for your home team. You’ll get commercials, but at least the stream is free (just like the old transistor radio days).

Pretty good but can be improved. Two things here. The first thing is that you can no longer as a blind person tap on a video and get it to play in certain situations. For instance, from the watch and listen clean or even from a team page. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. This needs to be fixed so that it will always play when a person like myself who is blind wants to listen to something. In addition, I will also add that radio is still behind TV. I say this because if you listen to a game on TV, You hear the crowd and the sounds of the arena as if you were in a concert. However, radio has the same capability, but you don't hear it that way. It would be nice if a major sports league like yourself would take the lead on this so that people like myself can enjoy the same high-quality sound and to be able to get a feel for what the atmosphere is like in a ballpark from listening to games from your app.

App lost functionality during season. I have been using this app for 2+ years on my iPad (running the latest iOS). It was great until this season. After working fine in the beginning of the season, an update caused all of the live (in game data) to disappear. This has continued with several subsequent updates. For those who have not used the app, during the game you were able to see lots of live data. On the bottom was information about players, averages, on deck, etc. on top was a band with all of the current scores throughout the league (which you could select and jump to that game, as well as information one could swipe to view from either side. All of this disappeared. On top of everything else, changing to another game resulted in a dialogue box telling me that I needs to restart the app. I contacted customer service and was told to use another platform (like my laptop) Really? Something seems amiss when they brick a sizable portion of the app and appear indifferent to its effect on the user.

Hating the streaming service games. The app is great. Love watching games on MASN. Absolutely hate when games are only available on streaming services (ie. Apple TV, Peacock). I think it’s pretty tone deaf on the part of the MLB to expect fans to pay hundreds of dollars a year to watch a handful of games. Games with mediocre coverage at best, by on air personalities who clearly know little about the teams and cities of which they report. People on fixed incomes, low income families and anyone struggling to make ends meet, see it as a slap in the face. Not everyone can afford to even visit the ballpark for a game. Further limiting people’s ability to support their team by putting games out of their financial reach feels like blind elitism. I am very disappointed in this very poorly thought out decision by the MLB

Continuous downgrades. Why does the roster and transactions page keep getting functionalities taken away? These are the two aspects on the app I use the most and they are becoming borderline unusable. It has gotten to the point I can access the teams roster faster through googling their website than actually using the app which I have to tap through about 4 different screens to finally find the roster. And now rosters don’t even have the capability to sort players by number, position, or name; they are just a stagnant website page that is identical to the failed app which is the MiLB app. Also it received an appearance downgrade as well with rosters being just a list of players instead where you must tap on the players name(which is not clearly a hyperlink) to view their stats. The cell for each player(how the rosters were previously presented) was much sleeker looking, had better sorting functionally, and was a clear upgrade over how it is being presented now. Please put rosters back to the way they were!!!

Suspicious business practices. Two Subscriptions, Zero Service, and the Worst Customer Support I've Ever Experienced. All I wanted to do was watch a baseball game. Instead, MLB turned a simple evening into a 90-minute nightmare. The app stopped working mid-session and prompted me to upgrade my existing subscription. I already had a full subscription. I clicked through, and MLB charged me an additional $66 for an "MLB+" account — without clearly disclosing I was being billed twice for what should be one service. Did the app work after that? No. Instead, it pushed me to buy a Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle just to access content I had already paid for. I called customer service and sat on hold for 60 minutes. The representative was completely unhelpful, offered no resolution, and showed zero urgency about the fact that I had been double-charged and still couldn't watch a single game. Two active subscriptions. No service. No refund. No accountability. MLB has built a product that is designed to confuse customers into paying more while delivering less. This feels less like a technical glitch and more like a predatory billing practice — and I suspect I'm not the only one this has happened to. I'd encourage anyone who has experienced similar double-billing to document everything and look into whether a class action is warranted. Avoid this app until MLB gets its billing and customer service house in order.

Stop killing baseball fans. MLB - it’s time to fix this thing. You clearly can’t figure out how to sell international ads on the radio - last year we only heard blue nile diamond ads a thousand times, which would be great if I were a demographic interested in diamonds. Still, that is much better than the fan noise between innings and pitchers that has me turning off the radio broadcast and tuning into podcasts or music. Your calendar is terrible. I live in GMT +2 but remarkably I’ve figured out how to add 7 hours to the start of a game to know when it is. Instead, I can never figure out what day a game is just by looking at it at a glance. It is always showing me double headers when it is really a night game followed by a day game. I appreciate the effort but it isn’t working. Instead, give me the option to choose the time zone displayed. Some might opt for local times, but a lot of us fans would rather it show eastern time zone so we can see when games are. TV broadcasts are pretty decent with the app. But fix the other stuff. You’re Major League. You’re better than this.

Needs Improvements. There’s 2 mains reasons why I’ll never pay monthly to watch games on the MLB app, and they both have to do with MLB Big Inning. 1. Each user should be individually in control of which game to hear when there’s multiple games going on, instead of Matt Yallof. In fact please let him go, there’s no need for him, or any narrator/controller for that fact. 2. Big Inning needs to be available anytime there’s more than 1 game going on simultaneously, instead of 3 measly hours of each day. It’s annoying trying to flip around each game to find whatever game’s not on a commercial break when there’s multiple games on at once, but when MLB Big Inning is on, its nice to have all games in action on 1 screen all in 1 place but its also equally as annoying as flipping around because you have to listen to Matt Yallof’s dumb commentary & mumbling for 2.5 out of the 3 hours that it airs daily. My time & money are both scarce & precious, and this app is worth neither of them.

Fix your App. Fix it!. When are you going to fix the problem of Freddie Freeman showing up as my Followed Player? Every day I delete him and the next day he shows back up again. I am not following ANY player, yet he shows up every day. Plus I get notifications that he is “on deck” even though I have deleted him that day. We pay too much money for this to be continuing. I have several help tickets submitted already. Then there are the notifications that show up in Spanish. Some days they start out in Spanish then switch to English. Other days they start out in English then switch to Spanish. I have at least 5 help tickets on this too. Surely there is someone in your organization that is bright enough to fix this. It’s been going on since February. I am a long time user of MLB App. This is the worst year so far.

Major league frustration. This app will let something exciting happen in the game or information in a pre or post game show and it will break away to a commercial or a prerecorded sound of a crowd and a ball hitting a bat and by the time you restart the app what ever was happening has passed and you missed it. I try to use this app to listen to games while I work but was finding it was costing me even more money than the wasted money spent on a useless app because I was literally walking to the phone to restart the app and then walking back to my work and by the time I picked up my tools the app had broken away to a prerecorded crowd Noise again. It will be playing the game I want to hear and then in the middle of a play it will also break away to commercials for the app also. I own a business and if my work was as useless to my customers as this app is I would be starving and homeless. Basically screen doors on a submarine function better than this app.

Your game will be spoiled. I don't understand why MLB can't seem to understand that some people like to watch the game after it has finished. And that those people may not know who won the game, and furthermore may have actively tried to avoid seeing who won the game so that when they watch it they get the excitement of not knowing who won. This MLB app does everything possible to ensure you can't avoid seeing who won the game. Even if you have hide scores clicked on, the home screen will clearlyn show you who won the game by putting a picture of the winning team up. And now, as if that wasn't spoiler enough, it also shows both teams record! So if you know what your teams record was going into the game you will easily see who the winner was by that fact which is thrown in your face. It's obvious that whoever is in charge is not a fan otherwise this would have never happened. Fix this garbage.

Once great product now more expensive, worse. Where to begin. This app costs $30+. Five years ago it was far superior. While following along on the Gameday tab, they’ve taken away showing the hitters’ and pitchers’ stats. Want to know the pitcher’s ERA? Flip over a few tabs. Want to know the hitter’s average, HRs, RBIs? Flip over a few tabs and click on something and wait for it to load. It was showing those things on Gameday ten freaking years ago. How did it get worse? My coup d’etat, however, is how ABYSMAL the video is. Again, I pay thirty+ dollars for this app. Videos work 10% of the time. Every time I think “maybe they’ll work better if I update the app.” Negative. “Maybe they’ll work better if I turn off wifi.” Negative. It is atrocious. It is the year 2024. This app costs actual US dollars. If they fired up the engine from 2015 and reverted the app back to that, I’d be ecstatic. I just don’t understand. Worse, more expensive product and they expect us to thank them for it.

Unnecessary and repetitive ads. One of my favorite features of the MLB app is the ability to stream the radio broadcasts for every team. I use it when I’m driving, working, and exercising. The biggest problem that I have with the MLB app is the annoying and repetitive ads that come up when the radio broadcast goes into commercial break. If I’m paying for a service, why am I being subjected to additional ads? The ads come in right before the broadcast goes into commercial break and it cuts off the announcers. I would prefer to listen to the local ads the radio broadcasts air than the annoying ads that MLB forces its users to listen to. Please fix this issue and this service would be a lot better for its users.

Very good, but…. They should make it where you can search your favorite player and you can see all their stats, highlights, previous teams they were on, and their draft pick. They should also put MLB’s shopping app where you can buy baseball cards, bats, batting gloves, etc. Why can’t go into a team see all the players and there nicknames, also see the teams triple, double, and single-a teams. Why can’t you be able to see (like in MLB The Show) the players rank in there position, and the teams batting, fielding, pitching, rank, speed, durability, and homeruns. In my opinion MLB is way off on there top players in each in each position. They should partner up with ESPN and be able to see each game live and past games.

Unlistenable. The extreme volume inconsistencies between the radio broadcasts and the commercials have ALWAYS been a big issue. The speaker volume for play-by-play needs to be ALL THE WAY UP to hear anything at all, so when commercial time comes, almost ALWAYS cutting off the broadcasters mind you, it is just so unbelievably loud it actually hurts your ears…from three rooms away. Prepare for your speakers to eventually rattle and blow because it has happened. This isn’t an error on my home radio station’s part, either. I have called my home station and they have confirmed that it absolutely is a problem with the MLB app (apparently they get countless complaints every season). This year (2025) is even worse. It’s no longer JUST the extreme volume range between the game and the commercials, but now it’s between the two broadcasters as well. You can hear one for a few sentences, but not the other and visa versa. Now, the overall volume during the play-by-play also fluctuates so much so that you genuinely have no idea what’s happening on the field. It is absolutely insane to be paying $30 a season to not have audible access to my home team’s games on the radio. I will not be renewing my subscription next season simply because this issue has never been fully fixed, let alone stay that way. There are other ways to listen and I most definitely need that $30 more than MLB ever will.

This years update is a disappointment. I have always LOVE the functionality of this app. I’ve had it on my phone for 10 years, and this year is the first time I have been disappointed in it. The update for this season is in my opinion a resounding failure. It makes navigation significantly more convoluted, especially attempting to access other teams pages other than your favorite team. It’s a maze now. I don’t understand why there is the main team page when you open the app then another team page you have to open to change teams. It makes no sense at all. If there is a game going you no longer have an option to look at different days on the calendar at the top of the screen. Not sure why that was changed, I guess so you have to aimlessly wander the main page to look for the calendar. There are also serious issues with loading pages. Often pages will just sit there and not load. I will go back and try to load it again, but then it will often fail to load again. It often takes 3 tries. Player pages constantly load with the incorrect resolution and format so you cannot read anything. And somehow while I’m navigating the gameday page for a game I end up with 4 or 5 box scores open one on top of another. I have no clue how that happens, but it seriously hampers the ability for the app to run smoothly. I don’t understand how the app doesn’t recognize the fact that there already is a box score open and it just opens another. I’ve tried to give the app time, as I will readily admit I struggle with any change, but it’s just not getting better. No progress has been made on the nearly broken version of the app 1.5 months after it’s been updated to the newest build. Completely disappointing after the long history of fantastic performance and functionality of this app.

Archive games. Huge decline in quality for archive radio broadcasts. There can be 3 minutes of ads between innings or pitcher changes. There are cuts at the ends of innings where the broadcasters’ wrap up and current score is cut off. The game can be rejoined after the broadcast begins in the next inning. In some games the sound of the ads is wildly louder than the broadcast levels. Very irking when one uses earbuds or headphones. Worse is the fact that you can’t always depend on the app to go back to the game you want to hear especially if it isn’t recent. The app won’t keep up as you backspace back through time. Sometimes the games presented for that day are not the games actually played on that day. In that case you have to close the app altogether and re-start the back tracking again. And the WORST is that if you need to pause the game you’re listening to, odds are that the app will not restart it again and you will have to reboot the app and go through the process I described above. Soooo frustrating. The quality of the app on the archive function, which is primarily how I listen to games as my team is not in my time zone and the games are played at inconvenient times, has deteriorated massively since last year. This is very disappointing and frankly, disrespectful of the game. I thought this was going to be just for spring training and would fix itself during the season. Sadly, it continued. Again, it is disrespectful to the game and to the fans who listen. Please fix it.

Glen. All these outsourced games to Disney, apple, peacock, you tube is a rip off for people who buy a season long subscription to mlb at bat. We pay to watch all the games. It’s bad enough that in market games are excluded. Losing another third of the season in games to outsourced broadcasters borders on fraud. Time for the commissioner to say season subscriptions are season subscriptions. No lost games to companies that I don’t want to do business with, or don’t want on my computer, asking me to buy into their services, or having to wait for three hours to watch a game I already paid to watch. Making small print to “cya” with selling out mlb games isn’t right. (What if the game is west coast and it ends at 11pm. I can’t watch it until 2 am.? Who’s going to stay up to watch a game at that hour? STOP RIPPING THE FANS OFF! TIME FOR THE COMMISSIONER TO BE FAIR WITH THE PAYING FANS !

Better and Worse. MLB has made changes and improvements over the years to the app. Some of my favorite features are ease of access to scores, standings, the followed player feature and expanded stats in the standings. What is worse is the reason I usually open the app and that is to listen to games (because for some reason where I live about 30% of my teams games are blackouts restricted even though I live 2 states and a time zone away from them) when I can’t watch them. The end of the inning and sometimes the end of the game gets cut to go to the MLB commercials before the radio broadcast has finished describing the play. Then they run the ad “since 1921, MLb games have been broadcast on the radio. Catch the next great moment….” When the “great moment” I was just trying to listen to got cut off. I wish they would fix this.

Great App. I wrote the review below last year. I had to downgrade it one star because it has become slow to open. Everything has become slower in the app too. I like to read the bios of the players, but it’s excruciatingly slow. It’s very different this year. It’s got a new look when it opens, so the developer made some changes that have affected the performance. It’s not my internet. It is fast, and all my other apps do not have this problem. Sometimes it’s better not to fix it when it ain’t broken. I’m a Southern California Cubs fan and subscribe to MLB to watch my Cubbies. It’s such a great deal. The only drawback is that I spend way too much time watching baseball. I saw almost every game last year and the year before.

Great app - unless you want to watch a team in your state. Have had (loved) this app for years but a bit more frustrating that games are now being broadcast only on alternative streaming services that was NOT a part of the original deal. I also hate when I’m on the road and I’m watching the Yankees but I’m in Texas so I can’t watch it because they’re playing a Texas team that even happens when it’s Houston that may be four or five hours away or vice versa, also understand why I don’t pregame or post game shows after say the Yankees win a game there’s nothing else to watch the review. Recap doesn’t get broadcast. Also very frustrating. So I enjoy having this so I can watch most of my teams games. it’s gotten a bit frustrating for the cost …. Just my opinion!

Used to be great :( Ads turned to garbage. Mid season 2024 update: Now the app that I pay for won’t start any video or audio. It’s somehow even more ad-riddled. It sends your personal info to tictok, Twitter, bing, google, and a host of other data brokers. What a complete joke. Update for 2024 season. This app keeps getting worse. It should have a primary goal to let paying customers enjoy the sport of baseball. How can we when none of the highlights load. At least 75% of all highlights fail to load. It’s easy to find highlights elsewhere so I find myself using this app less and less. Soon it will get deleted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Really great job on MLBs part trying to make their sport less and less appealing Original review for 2022 season: Trying to get youngsters into MLB just got worse. The audio streams used to play local broadcast commercials, which will not always be relevant to out of state listeners. These are better ads and were a million times better than the advertisements MLB overwrites now. The political garbage, and Manfred trying to push degenerate gambling down our throats for an unholy buck means that I cannot have children listen to the games. MLB is going to lose out on an entire generation of fans by pushing this garbage down our throats. I’ve been a subscriber since this app has come out and this is the last year I am paying for it. I don’t like the change for ‘22 that brings you back to the top of the days game list. It makes me lose track of which games I have reviewed. Now I just use a different sports app to track my favorite teams.

MLB stop trying to change the game. This app is awesome, I’ve been a huge fan of Major League Baseball since I was 8 years old .I can remember listening to the Oakland A’s , in 1972. I would keep score of the games. Stats in sports have always interested me. Especially when it came to baseball. The history of game and the players who once played at the beginning ,when they started to keep players numbers ,stats. A bats . Hits ,Runs ,Home Runs ,RBI’s etc .Pitching records Era’s it’s made baseball as far has I’m concerned, the best game ever.! I have to say , I don’t like the new rules , the pitching clock. The base runner at second in extra innings. It takes the purity out of the game: I love that baseball has no time limit It’s what’s made it unique, a game could last 20 innings or longer. That’s what’s amazing. But by just putting runners on base: In my I think it hurts the game : not makes it better. If your going to have the pitching clock .let’s add some time. It’s way to fast. Baseball was never meant to be a quick game. It involves Thinking and strategies on every pitch, managerial moves, pitching changes, pinch hitters,( oh yeah and I almost forgot, you can’t shift players over to one side of the diamond , that’s ridiculous also. Just let the managers try whatever to stop a pull hitter . Stop changing the greatest game ever .!! The end

New 3D game play by play feature is amazing!. This app has always been my go to for the ability to watch and listen to live games. Based on your location certain games may not be available to watch but you can still listen. As an avid fan I did not mind and would often follow along use the 2D play by play. Yesterday I noticed the 3D play by play and was nothing short of AMAZED! This feature tracks the ball and shows full movement through out the field. Gone are the 2D pitcher and batter box. You can follow along in virtual real time, see the pitcher warm up between inning, and rocket through the field if a ball is put in play. Truly revolutionary feature this app upgrade is worthy of a glowing review! Outstanding workaround for games that are blacked out in your region. If you love following the action pitch by pitch this will more than satisfy the itch. Game on!!

Lost functions on TV app. Unfortunately with the latest update they ruined the TV app. So far as I know these functions were never available on the phone app unfortunately. I’m not sure why because they would’ve worked nicely there as well. No longer do they have a condensed version of the game or the highlights of the game selection. These two features were fantastic for somebody who is trying to catch up on the night before and only wants to see specific teams, not have to sit through an hour worth the highlights. Now when you select watch “live” it automatically drops you at the beginning of the live game not where the game is playing currently, it’s very frustrating. When you say “live” game you expect to be landed into the game where it is currently being played not at the beginning of the game. If you wanted to watch the beginning of the game you would select “start from beginning” which is the other option. Here’s hoping that they realized they broke it and they go back and fix it, but I’m sure it was all broke by design. Actually I really do have one more thing, The idea that they charge you a hefty price ticket and then you are blocked out from watching games. Not the customary always have been, city blackout with your cable company that I almost can understand. No all the new avenues of blocking you out, Apple TV, Paramount+, ESPN, Fox etc... that you can’t watch any of these games -even the next day (like blackouts) though you’ve have paid for the MLB baseball service.

Unreliable. The MLB app really demonstrates the importance of competition in a market. I hide the scores in the app and watch the pre-recorded games after they’ve ended and so that use case colors my review. For that use case this app is perplexingly bad. Choppy video. Choppy audio. Audio streams disappearing. Skipping back and forth in the video somehow enabling subtitles. Innings and scores reported in the progress bar being in the wrong spots (always) or, in some cases, having the same inning listed twice. ZERO support for continue watching. Oh you watched half a game and want to get back to it? Find it yourself. Oh you watched half a game and now want to continue watching it on your TV? Good luck. ZERO support for users watching every game. Oh your last game was 2 days ago? You can find the next one yourself. And don’t worry, the order of the games will be seemingly random if you have favorite teams selected, especially if 2 of your listed teams are facing each other. Most of these problems wouldn’t even matter if you could skip forward and back by half innings. It’s 2025 and you can’t skip around by half innings in a pre-recorded game. And all of this on top of you hiding scores in the app and still getting headlines on the “home” tab that spoil the games for you anyway. Even worse, you pick a game to watch, it starts in portrait and immediately tells you the win loss record of the 2 teams playing. Meaning which team won the game you’re now watching. God do I hate this app.

Terrible playback. There’s admittedly a lot of good functionality in this app, but it’s unacceptably terrible for the main function I use it for, which is to watch the live games of my home team. Half the time I watch I can’t skip back to rewatch a play that just happened, and more than half the time when I pause it, it jumps automatically to live when I unpause, which defeats the whole purpose of being able to pause. It’s so frustrating to pause the game when I have to feed my kids dinner or whatever and when I come back to unpause the game it jumps to live in the 9th inning or the post-game show. Ruins the point of watching sports. How can MLB, with all the money they make from me and all other fans, not have figured out extremely basic streaming functionality like pausing and resuming?! All the other streaming platforms can do it, so it can’t be that hard. It’s pathetic and insulting. Thumbs down.

Poor implementation. [Update to developer’s response, which is at best only App Store damage control: I have reached out for assistance a number of times over several weeks. I have, as yet, received zero responses whatsoever. If only you were as quick about responding to those as you were a negative review. Please don’t *talk* about valuing the customer experience. *Do it*.] I love baseball as much as the next person, but the app clearly relies on fan enthusiasm to gloss over the deficiencies. Want your team’s news: you have to sift through a raft of irrelevant news from other teams (even with your favourite selected). Want to reliably listen to the games you already pay for? Meh, it’s buggy so you can just listen to it later. Want any support whatsoever for the app? Submit a ticket and they will get back to you in 2026. Maybe. Value your digital privacy as a paying customer? They sell your data by default, making you both customer and product. Sad to see MLB go the way of the NFL and just milk fans for all they can with minimal effort at satisfaction.

Ridiculous. For a sport that is bleeding fans quicker than any other you would think they could make an app functional for people who are obviously using their phones more than ever. I’m a subscriber and for this entire season I have a 50/50 chance of watching a replay, game or highlights. So what’s the point of having/paying for this app? There isn’t one because I can find the scores anywhere else and that’s basically all I have access to. I’ll be waiting for the response of the developer which I’m surely will start with “sorry to hear”. MLB is so clueless as to what people need/want, it is laughable. Good luck watching replays with this joke of a google cloud thing they have going on. It’s also so cool that when the replays work I get to watch a commercial. I pay for the season and I still have to watch commercials? This is an incredible failure on the part of mlb. They don’t have any clue which is why your numbers will continue to drop as you have just lost me as a customer as well. Good luck getting back the average fan because you have no idea how to do it.

This app was incredible… now it’s a disgrace and a sham.. I’ve had the MLB app since it was known as AtBat and have paid for a subscription since then… I have contemplated getting rid of the app and subscription for several years now, and I can finally say I’m going to bite the bullet and quit it. There is literally nothing on the app that you can’t do for free elsewhere now. What pushes me over the edge is the radio and video playback (not to mention the countless other bugs/issues in). The fact that with the subscription MLB only shows us the scoring videos without ads is a COMPLETE SHAM. We used to be able to watch every game video without ads… now you have to watch more even though you pay money??? Mega disappointment. And perhaps to put the cherry on top… the radio playback is a complete disaster. Since MLB switched to Audacy last year it’s never been the same. The quality and playback are nonexistent. Why try to listen here when you can listen on literally so many other apps?? I had hope that this year they would make necessary changes and come up with solutions to the apps many persistent issues. But obviously this is not the case. If I could get my money back for the subscription, I would delete it right now. This app used to be absolutely indispensable to baseball fans. Now it’s broken and not worth having it on your phone… the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind over this mess.

Blackout restrictions. Im located in Chesapeake, VA. I understand that the only games that would be “Blacked out” for me would be the home games for the Nationals and the Orioles. A lot of times when I’m trying to watch the Red Sox (my favorite team) a lot of their games are blacked out and they would be somewhere that’s not Washington DC or Baltimore. For example; currently at this minute, I’m trying to watch the Red Sox @ Yankees game and it’s been telling me since yesterday’s game that it’s blacked out. Yesterday, I was able to stream it from my phone, but on my tv it said it was blacked out. But for tonight’s game, I can’t stream it from anywhere. MLB needs to really fix their “black out” restrictions, they have had this problem for years, I remember it from when I was a kid when me and my dad would try to watch a Red Sox game, it would get randomly blacked out. The app is nice, when I’m able to watch a game with the most rivalry in sports history (which I haven’t been able to) so Thanks MLB

Subscription Fee & Advertisements?. Generally, I like MLB TV, because it allows me to watch my favorite out of market teams. However, I think it’s bogus that we can’t watch in market teams, since we pay a subscription to MLB. Since MLB TV is already double dipping, by charging a subscription fee, and showing advertisements, showing in market games, would benefit the advertisers on those in market games. I don’t like the idea of paying a subscription fee and having to watch MLB TV advertising, or the out of market advertising that they show. I also don’t like the idea that you arbitrarily blackout games and allow streaming services to show those games . I subscribe to see a team I like that’s out of my local market and it’s not fair that you charge me for a subscription to watch that team and then arbitrarily blackout games that you sell off to multiple streaming service services.

They Don’t Care and It Shows. The cost to watch games is outrageous and I’m still blacked out for like 30% of my team’s games. But that isn’t an app problem. However, it would be nice to at least be able to listen to the radio broadcast when I’m not allowed to watch. But the game feed audio is lousy. The volume goes up and down on its own from moment to moment. But the commercials always seem to be on full blast. I like to be able to pause and catch back up at my own pace but unless you leave your phone open without using it for anything else to pause and un-pause, the app resets and you have to either listen live without catching up or scroll through the whole game to try and find where you left off. Really annoying. These are just some of the problems with this app. In my many years of paying for MLB subscriptions I can say this is on par with what the user experience has always been. It’s clear that MLB doesn’t care about having a functional app with the capabilities users would like to have, and it shows.

Why change something that was already fine?!. This app used to be great: I had it set to alert me to when games would be starting (which also let me know if there was a rain delay or a game was coming on I forgot about) BUT now that’s gone. Strike 1 Strike 2: why in the world does it now take multiple steps just to get back to what SHOULD be the Home Screen? If I open the app while a game is airing it automatically brings up the game day screen with the current score and count and everything. I absolutely hate that and I’ve tried every setting to get it to just open up to the original Home Screen like it used to. I watch games a lot of times after they’ve started so why would I want to ruin it if I’m just trying to check the team’s schedule?! Strike 3: honestly it’s just strike 1 and 2 that really get me, but I’ll call the devs changing the original app at all the last strike- you’re out

Radio is broken. I've been a subscriber for a while now and listen to games frequently. In the last couple weeks, they’ve updated something with the radio function of the app that causes it to lag way behind the action of the game. I know latency exists in the internet, but I'm talking 2-3 batters behind the game on TV. It's very frustrating to be so far behind the action and it never used to be like this until a few weeks ago. Please fix it! Update for 2023: this is still a problem! Was working fine during spring training and I thought it was fixed. Regular season starts and it’s right back to a horribly delayed radio feed. FIX IT! Update for June 2023 - I’ve submitted this review a few times. I’ve put in customer service complaints over and over. Not only does MLB refuse to help, they refuse to admit it’s a problem. So to add another complaint - every commercial break is the same three very VERY annoying ads superimposed over the broadcast feed. Three ads, twice an inning, nine innings, every day. It’s unlistenable.

2025 sees another step backwards. My biggest gripe with this app seems to have been fixed (that I was always logged out when trying to access the audio feed while using the service with Apple CarPlay). That has been fixed, although the volume on the audio requires you to turn your radio way up. But now, they have removed the scoreboard that you could display at the top of the screen and use to switch between games. I really miss that. I was nice to see the scores of the other games, and convenient to switch to a game that might have a no-hitter in progress. Switching now is very cumbersome, and for the first time, makes me appreciate the TV based service more. It is still the best streaming app for a pro sport, but sometimes I wish they would just leave what is good alone instead of trying to “fix” things that don’t need it.

Invaluable App with Serious Problems. I can’t imagine baseball life without this app. All the markets broadcast n one place, by each team’s actual announcers? Sign me up! (I use Gameday Audio exclusively.) But the app comes with some fatal flaws. Often the app just quits broadcasting - it gets stuck buffering or says “playback failed.” I must go through a series of needless steps to get it working again. If I’m listening in the car or drifting off to sleep, I’m screwed. I’ve missed crucial plays because of this problem. Until MLB fixes this “consistency” problem, I can only give it 3 stars. Wish I could give it 5, for it provides a large quantity of team news, box scores, and even archives games for later listening. Yet I’m there primarily for the broadcasts, and the app often falls short in this function.

Apple TV App. Update: Cancelled my subscription due to the terrible Apple TV version. It’s been over a month and I still can’t do anything other than watch the game live. Features were advertised at the beginning of the season and then simply removed. Update: As horrible as the AppleTV app has become, it pales in comparison to the “developer’s” cut and paste response. How about a genuine, “We know we royally screwed up. We are sorry. And we are working to fix it. As soon as we get back from kindergarten this afternoon, we will get right on it.” Why did you remove the “Start from the Beginning” option. Not having to be in front of my TV at the moment the game begins and still being able to watch the entire game was absolutely key to why I pay for the app. You left the ability to Hide Scores, but if I have to always watch live then what the heck is the point of hiding the scores. I’ll know the second I click on the game. Does anyone who approved of this update actually watch sports? Also the app now feels cheap and old. I’ve subscribed from the very beginning and have always loved the interface. Now feels like an cheap power point. Also, why remove the radio feed option. It was useful for when you’re doing work around the house and you could just listen to the game. Overall. It wasn’t broke. Someone tried to fix it. And sweet lord, how they broke it.

Home screen settings are infuriating. App usually works as intended. Does a good job of streaming the games, and the ability to sync the tv feed with the radio feed is a really cool touch. My problems with the app are 100% to do with the user interface. Why can I not choose the home page of my favorite team to be the default page that gets loaded? Why am I forced into looking at stuff from around the league. I want to have my team’s page load first and then if I wanted to look into stuff from around the league then allow me to. I don’t have a problem with the current home page being available to be the default load screen, but also allow us to see our team’s screen like we used to. This nonsense started last season and it’s continued this season. Makes me really mad, but I’m forced to interact with it if I want to watch games on my phone.

Keeps Getting Worse. This app used to be such a great app. I remember the original At Bat app back on the first generation iPad. It was an amazing app, great video, all the news stories loaded instantly, game day was attractive with all information easy to see and find as you followed along with the action. For many years this app worked great, but then they began to make it more like a glorified website in an app framework, and the decline began. This year it’s truly a terrible app. You might as well just visit their website. The app is slow, the video is hard to find and audio is always muted, news stories load slowly like a webpage, game day is extremely limited in what information you can see at the same time, and Live Activities is crippled on iPhone 14 Pro. I really can’t say enough about how bad this app has become, and it seems like many other reviewers have the same feedback. Please roll it back to what it was in 2015, and we’ll all be much happier baseball fans.

Broken App. This app worked great last year and was deserving of 4-5 stars. However this season, it’s just been broken. At the beginning of the season, they updated the video player, and now you can’t overlay the box score or scores from the around the league when in landscape viewing. The box score is only viewable under the video player in portrait mode. Even worse, if you want to peruse the rest of the app, there’s no button to transfer to PIP and view the rest of the app. You now have to exit the app while watching to get the PIP, and then reopen the app in order to use it (such as view other scores from around the league) while watching the game. The worst most broken part of this app, however, is that if you ever leave the app and then return, it will autoplay the audio from the video feed even tho the video isn’t playing. This will sometimes happen when you’ve done the above mentioned PIP, which then generates 2 overlapping audio feeds. It is extremely frustrating as a user to get the app to work like it did last year.

Greed. People wouldn’t believe how much money I used to make. The more I made it seemed the less happy I was. Corporations when they take they don’t replace that with anything else other than another revenue stream. For the price of tickets to see mediocrity teams play a game the sell is nostalgia. Yet that same nostalgia that sells the tickets themselves is being removed by apps that are forced on the fans. This app is pretty simple to use and works well. However, by not giving fans an option to have hard physical tickets for souvenirs, mementos and arts and crafts shows they have zero respect for any of us. Who has a tickets stub to Aaron Judge HR record game? I bet the Yankees printed some garbage limited edition trinket to sell to the fan. This goes for every Sports team. Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro playing for the Bucs- my family’s had season tickets for 30 years yet no stub from that game. When the younger generations lose the nostalgia of collecting tickets and physically holding and reading the articles they will also lose the nostalgia that convinces them to overpay for a product that no longer means what it used to mean. Technology isn’t going anywhere and we are heading way past the slippery slope of intellectual property abuse. Now all I got to do is figure out how to make a decent living again only utilizing my Cellphone

SUDDENLY NOT SUPPORTED. I bought a brand new iPhone 6S plus 128GB only 7 months ago. I realize it is an older phone. It replaced previous maxed out iPhone 6S Plus 32GB. I also realized that the older OS would not support my apps “forever”. I was thinking maybe I had 12-18 months. MLB did not consider people like me, on a budget, who cannot really afford MLB but 2 years ago I got “addicted” and have used the app and TV service. I hope MLB reads this and creates a way to still use app at least until the end of the regular season. I really don’t have the funds to shell out for a later phone. Otherwise, app is a B+; I hope MLB reads this. Can MLB please HELP people in my situation? The nice person from India in tech support seemed to have already heard of this situation from frustrated subscribers.
