### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with Apple TV

*2026-08-28*

Disappointed that it doesn’t work with my Apple TV 4K !! Have to use my Google tv instead. Kinda defeats the purpose for me.

### 2/5 — Marketplace rewards

*2026-08-13*

The update doesn’t allow for accessing the gift cards that one redeems.

### 2/5 — No options?

*2026-07-12*

Why on earth can I no longer stream the game I want? This app worked great until the recent update, now I’m apparently stuck watching whatever the default AAA game of the day is. Fix this. And while we’re at it, please update the Apple TV app.

### 3/5 — It works enough

*2026-07-12*

I mean, it’s a good app and you can watch games, just very laggy a lot, at least on TV

### 2/5 — Please make this easier to use & fix bugs.

*2026-07-09*

I just got this app. I don’t want it to start playing a random game right when I open it. Additionally, I should be able to click on my team and see everything posted there. Also, It’s extremely hard to scrub through a game. Also, the game randomly goes black when trying to make it fill screen. There are many bugs that need to be fixed. It’s also organized poorly.

### 1/5 — Needs work!

*2026-04-18, version 3.0.0*

App is horrible, took me five attempts to finally get it to register I made an account, it would text me the code id enter it then it would try to say that was in correct, then when i try to
view active games it just keeps saying error and lagging horribly, I love the idea truly but the app needs work

### 1/5 — Just broken

*2026-04-18*

As soon as you try and favorite a team, it completely breaks the app. Have to delete and reinstall to fix. Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-04-11*

App doesn’t work on TV. Just shows the spinning wheel of no progress on initial opening. Never gets past that. What a POS.

### 2/5 — Buggy and annoying UI

*2026-04-03*

Assumes I always want to watch something, which I don’t.  Class filter doesn’t work on schedule page.  Should let me toggle whether I want to watch video.

### 5/5 — Minor League Baseball games!

*2026-02-11*

Enjoy how many Minor League Baseball games there are to watch. Makes it easy to keep track of top prospects!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No video

*2026-08-30*

Multiple attempts to watch MiLB. Will not load video. No support staff.

### 1/5 — Ads ruin app.

*2026-08-09*

I get that the ads keep the app free, but ads also break the app. They are intrusive and will start playing in the middle of a game. They will also cause the stream to buffer to the point the phone goes to sleep. And don’t even try to connect to airplay or Chromecast. It’s pointless.

### 1/5 — Video lag

*2026-07-31*

When you open the app on an Apple TV, it takes forever to load. Even when I select a matchup, the video lags. This app needs major improvements. 😡

### 1/5 — App Issues

*2026-07-23*

I’ve been trying for a couple days to stream the Women’s Baseball World Cup, but when I try to cast the feed to my television, it randomly reverts to MiLB games every time. Help.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2026-07-10*

I could not get any MiLB games to work on the phone, and I tried a bunch of them. I noticed other reviews said the same thing. The app just doesn’t work. Blank screen is the only thing that pops up.

I had no trouble signing up as other people did. I have no problems chatting or keeping up with scores. It’s just that the video for MiLB games… do not play live (I can replay them after they’re done but what’s the point in that?). Other sports like Poker works fine, but that’s not why I wanted the app. 

The concept for the app is great, it just does not work to watch live MiLB games.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2026-07-09*

Like many other users, I can’t get the video to play back, or even audio.  No user assistance in the app.  I would give zero stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Didn’t Work

*2026-05-13*

Never loads correctly.  What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-05-12*

I don’t get points hardly, for watching for 10 minutes, even if I leave the app running. There is  no customer service, so I can’t ask them why. It needs improvement. I cashed in 2,000 points for 2 10 dollar gift cards  that I’m still waiting on.  This app is garbage

### 1/5 — Apple TV

*2026-05-06*

Does not work on Apple TV, it just shows a loading icon the whole time.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-04-26, version 3.0.1*

Sucks!  Never ever ever loads!!!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Must download app

*2026-08-14*

This app is elite for streaming content and following Minor League Baseball

### 5/5 — Connection to player/family

*2026-07-31*

When you’re far from home, it is nice to know to your family is still watching and pulling for your team. This is a great moral booster for the players and entertainment for families. Plus it’s a good introduction to baseball.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-30*

Best baseball app

### 5/5 — Man I love this app

*2026-07-27*

You get to watch baseball games for free

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-25*

Good for watching MiLB

### 5/5 — Bally sports app

*2026-07-24*

I have been using this app now for about a month. And I absolutely love it. 5 stars all the way!  I use it primarily to follow my Dayton Dragons. But even after Dayton, I can use it to follow my players on their journey to the Cincinnati Reds. In a world where you have to give everything and sign your life away just to watch a team, this app is a gift and a godsend for Baseball lovers that want to go just a little bit deeper. A little dramatic?….. why not. Haha
I absolutely love this app, and I am on it and watching and using it every single day. Thank you for being there and helping fuel the love for the game for a guy like me. And I know there are many more like me and I know they want to tell you the same thing.

### 5/5 — Has everything you need

*2026-07-17*

Best way to catch up on MiLB for free!

### 5/5 — Love the ui update

*2026-07-17*

No issues for me

### 5/5 — Minor League Baseball for Free!

*2026-05-28*

Minor league baseball for free! What’s not to love?!?!?!

### 5/5 — The definitive way to watch Minor League Baseball

*2026-05-27*

I’ve been very happy with the app so far. Streaming works very well, and the UI is fantastic.
