So there was a pop fly ln the infield. He was in the middle and the ball hit off his face and Stephanie came over and the runner was SOOO SLLLOOOWWW!!!!!! And the runner on 2nd was on 3rd was fast. And Pablo knocked down Stephanie and they started fighting.and the runner on 3rd made it home and the runner on 1st made it to 2nd.and for some reason Pablo ran into Stephanie again. And the runner was going to 3rd and made it.and Pablo is on the ground.and Stephanie through the ball home to Kiesha and the ball went out of play.And I moved Pablo and Stephanie to the outfield. And my team got walked off cause of Pablo and Stephanie.P.S don’t Put Pablo at shortstop and Stephanie at 2nd 4.1 stars ### 5/5 — Yummerz *2026-07-17, version 1.4.31* Yummerz ### 3/5 — 🚨🚨🚨Its okay⚠️⚠️⚠️ *2026-07-17, version 1.4.31* I liked this game growing up. So I started playing it as soon as it came out on iOS. Back then I saw hitting was much easier and smoother and I was hitting plenty of home runs. Now that I’m playing again, hitting feels much harder. Even with good power hitters. I can barely make solid contact and it seems like it’s harder to hit doubles triples and home runs. I’m striking out more than I remember. I’m not sure if the developers changed something. I hope the developers can take a look because it doesn’t seem as fun. As it did when it first launched. ### 3/5 — Fun but Frustrating *2026-07-11, version 1.4.31* Fun and reminiscent of the original PC game. Mobile version has constant bugs while on offense. Batter cannot swing until I close and restart the game. Becoming increasingly frustrating for a game that is not free. Smaller nitpick - it is difficult to unselect a Steal command. Clicking it is responsive but clicking again to disregard is a 50/50 chance of working. ### 5/5 — Left me crying *2026-07-11, version 1.4.31* So i was playing and i play it cause im competitive and when i was playing i was in championships and it was the first championship game and i finished it but when i was gonna move on it said SCUMERROR and didnt let me go on ### 5/5 — This game is safe for kids *2026-07-10, version 1.4.31* I love how this game is safe for kids and they never bother me once they get on it. ### 3/5 — Better on the computer *2026-07-03, version 1.4.31* I was so happy to find this app. I’ve spent too many hours playing this game as a kid. It’s pretty much the exact same game. However, it just doesn’t work the same way on an iPhone . ### 3/5 — Weird subbing *2026-07-02, version 1.4.31* I love everything about this game but I sub pitchers for some reason and it is put me off the game for a lot time please fix this and the game would be amazing ### 5/5 — The second best backyard game and also Pablo Sanchez is the goat in T-ball is the best *2026-07-01, version 1.4.31* The second best backyard game is backyard baseball. Also Pablo is the best and T-ball This is a good game. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-06-30, version 1.4.31* Min krop, den skriger, ka' du høre den?

The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because there is insane match fixing some times. I play with hard settings and swing locator. Every once in a while I will run into a pitcher and the swing locator will be just barely in the strike zone. I can understand that sometimes by chance things like this happen where it will be a small chance that a strike will be thrown and it manages to be a strike. But three in a row sometimes even more than that is insane and it is pretty annoying to go up against. Another match fixing issue it sometimes when playing, the game really wants the other team to score so no matter what kind of pitch you throw a .250 0 for 3 with a literal 1 in the batting stat just scores a 650 ft home run. This happened multiple times because my suspicion grew so I restarted that pitch by refreshing the app on my phone and this batter kept hitting insane impossible home runs. This game is very fun but can also be incredibly rage inducing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-31, version 1.4.31* I WASTED 5 DOLLARS ON THIS USELESS GAME THAT I CANT EVEN OPEN, IT KICKS ME OUT THE SECOND I TRY AND OPEN IT ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-08-15, version 1.4.31* Too many glitches ### 1/5 — Gameplay is bad and very slow *2026-07-06, version 1.4.31* Borderline unplayable. Hitting seems to have random outcomes and the game is so slow it’s nearly unplayable. Way too much time between pitches and the controls need to be way more responsive. Half the time I tap the screen to swing or pitch and nothing happens ### 1/5 — I don’t like this game *2026-06-14, version 1.4.31* The ball hit the floor about 1 infinite times and was still called out of the park home run. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-11, version 1.4.31* Terrible ### 1/5 — So many glitches! *2026-06-11, version 1.4.31* This game has so many bugs! I thought I moved to a swamp. Also, the degree of difficulty from easy to medium is a completely different game entirely. Easy is too easy but medium (I won’t even ever try the hard level) is a cheat. ### 1/5 — Gameplay is bad and very slow *2026-06-06, version 1.4.31* Hitting seems to have random outcomes and the game is so slow it’s nearly unplayable. Way too much time between pitches and the controls need to be way more responsive. Half the time I tap the screen to swing or pitch and nothing happens ### 1/5 — Was very confusing *2026-06-05, version 1.4.31* I opened up the game and have to watch a long loading screen every single time, when I was batting I didn’t know where to click because there were no buttons, also the pitching I did not understand because there also where no buttons. Overall, I regret my purchase. ### 1/5 — Nostalgic but a bad game *2026-05-28, version 1.4.31* All about nostalgia here but the game is bad. Easy and medium difficulty is too easy and the hard it doesn’t matter what you do, the game just decides whether you get a hit or and error or where the pitch goes. Kills time but no consistency ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-05-24, version 1.4.31* It wouldn't even let me hit ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gjghjhehmogc *2026-08-23, version 1.4.31* Fun ### 5/5 — Pablo is the goat *2026-08-08, version 1.4.31* Best game ever you can play with goats like Jose cansecco or Randy Johnson ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-27, version 1.4.31* Cool game ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-25, version 1.4.31* Great game definitely recommend but please make backyard hockey available on iPad ### 5/5 — W game *2026-07-23, version 1.4.31* This is a grate game there are no glitches and would be better if you could add Mr clanky to the season play ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-07-23, version 1.4.31* So good ### 5/5 — Wtf *2026-07-22, version 1.4.31* I can’t even play anymore. It glitched out every time I click on the app. It just sends me back to my home screen. ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2026-07-21, version 1.4.31* This game is so fun I love that mlb legends are in the game ### 5/5 — Pablo *2026-07-19, version 1.4.31* Pablo the goat ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-18, version 1.4.31* Great gets old after a while but still fun and I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
