• Mlb is awesome

  by Dacookiethingy

  O.k. This app is amazing.period.It is amazing because of good quality, being able to search 2010 to now, all the teams, No bugs, being able to archive old games and even spring training games! Wow, this app has it all, thanks for a tremendous app.:)

• This is STILL a MUST HAVE app for ALL MAJOR LEAGUE fans

  by Techdude Z

  Could you PLEASE REDESIGN your PUSH NOTIFICATIONS & add iOS 7 SUPPORT BEFORE the start of the 2014 season? Sure in the App Description page it says iOS 7 COMPATIBILITY BUT it REALLY DOESN'T look like an iOS 7 app. For instance when watching video in the media player it shows the controls for iOS 6. The controls in the media player on iOS 7 are TRANSPARENT. You CAN like see through the them. Plus the controls in the app settings to like turn on push notifications are ALSO iOS 6. iOS 7 control switches are GREEN to show those settings are ON, WHITE to show they are OFF. So this app needs to look MORE like an iOS 7 app. A REDESIGNED PUSH NOTIFICATION system would be good as well. Would love to see notifications as follows: GAME START EACH SCORING PLAY AFTER 3rd, 6th, and FINAL Going to EXTRA INNINGS FINAL This is STULL a MUST HAVE app for MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL fans

• Excellent

  by Davescottofakron

  I'm eager for the update. I presume it will come when Spring training games return. It would be helpful if they could include daily transactions, but that is a small thing.

• Love it, only one concern

  by a7xfanatica7x

  As of right now there is no subscription option for the whole season, like in 2013. I would rather pay $8 for The whole season than pay $3 a month.

• Best baseball app

  by Frozen North 

  Should be great as always. But with the subscription being paid for as an in app purchase, how can we send the full $15 at bat app as a gift?

• Every game

  by Go Mariners

  Every MLB game at your hands. Amazing!!

• Dominican baseball

  by Alexshowoff

  It the best app

• No News

  by LeeA2502

  What's going on with Cincinnati Reds news? I'm able to read every other MLB Team's news except Cincinnati.

• Awesome app!!!!

  by Yankeesrule99

  I love this app! No problems, no bugs, no ads. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the new update in February 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I think that you should have access to all of the rosters you have access to on the internet (25 and 40 man, NonRoster Invitees, Coaches, etc...)

• Fantastic!

  by Dannyphantom5

  I will buy this app every year until it doesn't come back. Which I hope is never! It is a fantastic app that will keep you updated with any of you favorite teams and the video and audio playbacks are amazing quality!

• Favorite app ever

  by James Giese5888

  I have bought this app for the last 3 years and it keeps getting better. Amazing design and interface is just the start. There are too many whiners who are complaining about the money but it's totally worth it given the length of the season. 162+ games of streaming audio for every team is amazing. Plus video highlights during the game. Perfect app for the baseball nut out there.

• Love this app, it's time though

  by Chriis_M

  Sense baseball season is right around the corner I think it times to make this app have the look for iOS 7. Maybe even a new app icon so it goes with iOS 7

• Got me through baseball season

  by Warrenswimmer88

  I LOVE this app. Works great and in a time when my local tv on the west coast didn't show games on the east, I was able to watch all games live and keep up with stats. You do have to pay to watch but it's affordable and well worth it. I strongly recommend.

• Perfect

  by Trav!$

  The greatest application ever invented. Zero complaints, if you like baseball you will love this!

• Love it

  by DDM3149

  So glad I have this. Don't have a lot if time to watch games, this allows me to separate the wheat from the chaff.

• Love this app!

  by (!;/;(,;? 5 0????  

  It's great, guys!

• A must for baseball fans.

  by Josealvarez85

  I'm on the same boat with a lot of people on here. I have not had a single problem with the app. If you're paying for MLB.TV this app is a MUST. Love it!

• The update is great...have to hit Restore

  by  JWATTS112

  Love the update. Have to hit the Restore purchase.

• Make it iOS 7 compatible

  by AyyyElias

  Please give the app an ios 7 feel ! It'd be 100x better & I'd love it a lot more !!

• Epic!!!!

  by  candy crazer

  Great app!!!!!

• Blackouts

  by Maddux3us

  I agree get rid of the blackout games and just up the price of the sub and you've got a great app

• Not same as MLB on computer.

  by Utlinf9

  This app is perpetually stuck on "At Bat," not MLB.com. If you select a team, you can't even get back to another page which covers the news for the entire sport. So you get At Bat & your team page. Not what I thought I was getting! Can find coverage of HOF selections. Nothing.

• Fail.

  by Ryabds1062

  Can't get MLB.tv on my Apple TV or my LG TV. It's still stuck on the World Series games from last season. Other than that, the app is great for watching games on the go.

• Please stop charging me a monthly fee during the offseason

  by A.....R

  Please stop charging me a monthly fee during the offseason

• Doesn't work on iPhone 3G!!!

  by g_l_h 

  Be forewarned - this app will not work on earlier versions of the iPhone! Unfortunately I didn't realize this when I paid for the upgrade to Premium - which I did specifically in order to have access to this mobile app. It's especially frustrating since I've been able to follow games on the iPhone for the last several years - it seems wrong that users of the earlier phones are now shut out completely. Couldn't the developers find a way to still allow us some limited functionality? Is there no way to follow games on an older iPhone?

• Great app

  by jsoeder

  This is a great app for reg season baseball to listen and follow games!

• Getting Notifications I don't want

  by IN8LS

  I use AtBat to get the score for MY TEAMS. I don't want updates about other stuff. Fix the apps notification settings so it matches my choices in the app settings. Only updates from my teams.

• Don't buy

  by stlrockksss

  This app is not worth paying a monthly fee for. If you ever stop using it don't forget to cancel your subscription or it will keep charging you every month.

• ITS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

  by Animus gamer

  Get dis app. It's the best way for you to see wats happenin with da best team ever, the Atlanta Braves!!!!!!

• The BOMB

  by Joshua ch1

  This is my favorite sports app by far!

• Great app!

  by Nyy125w

  I love the app, especially with MLB.tv!

• Great

  by AndresGiants

  The best app ever

• Needs Chromecast Support

  by cacrow

  This app is great, but I'd really like to be able to stream games to my TV through Chromecast.

• What's the difference?

  by  pooted1

  Looks the same as 11? Where's my profile and the at the ballpark piece?

• Works for me, great app

  by njtz69mjzz7

  HD quaility video, a big plus for I and search for best connection is big plus. The repeat feed I experience, was only on Apple TV. Simply restart device and problem gone. With ticket prices, I consider this good deal. Too the complainers, I watch blackout games a few hours after the game is over and someone needs to read the details and agreement before they complain. It's spelled out in black&white.

• Rip off

  by Indy Jon's

  All post season blacked out?!? How can I cancel the recurring monthly charges? I want my money back!!

• Scam wasted app

  by Rudy

  I have to agree with most 1star ratings, concerning Fox blackouts games, and not being able to see the live game angles, bought this app in time for the playoffs, only to find out my fav. team Red Sox in WS were blackout b/c Fox is televising series, no prob with TSB viewing, so why waste $$ on teams I don't follow? Don't get this app, unless you don't care!

• Worst ever

  by Dmarkle

  You pay $2.99 a month to find out all the post season is blocked for streaming, then have to search forever to figure out how to cancel. Totally lame app. No wonder The NFL is eating MLBs bacon.

• Bunch of THIEVES!!

  by Bill Kerekesh

  I purchased the seasonal license to watch baseball on my iPad. Once the post season started, I had to purchase the Post Season Package to continue to watch on my device. I went to watch the World Series game tonight and was informed the game was blacked out but, not to worry, I could purchase the "Out of Market " package for $2.99. I bought it and went to watch the game just to be informed that the game is out of market. F*&^king THIEVES. You lost a customer and a fan MLB. If you need to steal $2.99 from me to make ends meet?? Well, knock you socks off. And shame on you Apple. Why should I trust another app purchase from you. You insist that all apps for your devices are purchased from you. For what?? For this?? I am getting really tired of getting ripped off from your "App Store". A pox on both your houses. Assh&^es!!

• Poor at updates on MLB

  by Ellie's 2nd Mom

  Today, Sept 15.....very poor at updating scores. Incorrect scores all across the board. Innings also incorrect. Very slow on pitch counts lately.....not really worth the price. Same problem as others ....white background after update. Not worth the rice of you are not paying attention.!!!!! Today during World Series not loading any info. Even had pitches and out comes that had not even occurred....this is awful

• A joke

  by Onegigi

  Just bought this app for my husband to watch World Series and it is blacked out. I want a refund.

• I love this app

  by Olives are ok.

  It's perfect for keeping track of who's winning! I would recommend this to baseball lovers

• Love it but...

  by CapeCodGirl

  Videos are very buggy and unstable. Also, wish radio & Gameday would line up but, hey, I quibble! Would be a simple fix if we could pause the audio for a minute or two. Great otherwise.

• How do I cancel my subscription? Anyone

  by SemiProAirHockeyStar

  Not impressed with the all too often blackouts.

• iOS 7 UI

  by Model#1

  I would like to see a UI change for iOS 7

• Pritty good

  by Super king8

  It's ok

• Don't waste your money

  by MeaningfulComment

  i paid for the postseason.tv thing and was able to watch just one game and that was it... no more after that... i guess that is how the app makes money.... do not waste your money... i would much rather listen to the radio....

• Amazing

  by McKenna ward

  Love it, it's great

• To many commercials !

  by B yhens

  The app Is ok and I understand the need for commercials once in a while but for every video ? I wait 30 seconds for a 20 second video on the same commercial everytime. It gets annoying and I prefer not to use the app if it continues this way.

• Video blacked out! Wasted $24.99

  by Knch89

  Purchased ( .tv ) video for $24.99 for one month to watch the post season on my iPad since I do not have cable. No games have worked. Complete waste of money, did not receive a refund.

• SCAM BLACKOUT RESTRICTIONS!!

  by Fanboy415

  Blackout restrictions make this app useless for local fans.

• Bloated

  by LavarBurton

  MLB AtBat is my favorite and most despised app. The ever growing list of features is impressive. Unfortunately all the loading, syncing, and updating make for a frustrating user experience. Little things like unplugging the earphones stops a broadcast and getting the playback to restart is no quick task. Between that, the increased use of ads, and the ever restrictive blackouts have decreased the value of MLB AtBat over the years. Until MLB decides to sign an exclusivity agreement with us fans, we are s.o.l. I hope a blackout agreement covers Bud Selig's next birthday and nobody shows up to his party.

• AL Championship Blackout is Bull!

  by Lencom

  I love this app but I guess the hundred bucks I pay for access every year doesn't get me access to ONLY the AL championship. Why show one series and not the other? Ridiculous... But so typical.

• Tigerfan

  by Detcord commy

  What's up with ACLS viewership being blocked? NCLS is available.......why not the AL?

• Spammy

  by Nutmac

  I use MLB.com At Bat without subscription, as all I am interested are the scores. Over the last several days, the app has been spamming me daily, asking me to buy in-app purchase.

• Postseason.tv dissapoints

  by Houjim

  Reg season at bat is a great app. Just bought the postseason package and could not be more dissapointed. All the camera angles spent the game zooming in and zooming out in a dizzying speed. Polar opposite of what Im used to from mlb.tv. Home plate view should just set up and not move. Its better than nothing but I expect better from mlb next year. :(

• Keeps getting better

  by john55nyc

  Absolutely the best way to follow the playoffs.

• Awesome app

  by Darian obligates

  This is an awesome app!

• Great

  by Jacob 432

  Overall it's great

• Push notifications

  by Runnerhalf

  Push notifications still do not work. Otherwise the app is ok for checking scores

• Blackouts

  by bryan121

  I didn't pay $125 to be blacked out of games that AREN'T EVEN ON TV WHERE I LIVE. I'll just stream games online this year. Also, beside the stupid fox blackouts, with the Astros playing in the AL, now the team I follow (neither the Astros nor rangers) would be blacked out where I live TWICE as often, and I have no desire to pay for cable. Fix your crappy blackout rules and this will be a good product

• Game day audio not working

  by Spookcasper

  Ever since the new apple update audio not working needs fixed. Plz

• Have to have this

  by Man-hattan

  I use this every day.

• Really great app. Postseason excellent

  by Ava99

  Great app. Love it. Just wish I had a faster connection. Postseason display is fabulous. Wish all apps were this good. Maybe developer could help Obamacare Website - seriously.

• Awesome app

  by 55 awesome

  Good app a little expensive but needs notifications on big plays finals and runs scored

• Playback issue

  by Ty717

  Good app, but recently have had issues when selecting highlights to watch. Highlight will start to load then do nothing and eventually close. App stays open, but highlight won't play.
