### 5/5 — Great resource for baseball officials

*2026-03-10, version 3.0.2*

Great resource for baseball officials

### 5/5 — Simple and Visual

*2026-02-07*

First year doing college baseball this year and trying to pick out differences between nfhs and ncaa with just the rule book was overwhelming. This app really helps. Just make sure if you try to watch the videos in the app you don’t have a vpn on or it won’t let you watch the videos

### 4/5 — NFHS Runners Lane

*2025-12-13, version 3.0*

Page not loading correctly to review all information

### 1/5 — Subscription experience is terrible

*2025-02-22, version 2.0.5*

Made a subscription with Apple App Store and didn’t recognize. Absolutely terrible and app keeps crashing on new iPad

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-02-20*

Extremely well done app. Rules and format are so easy to digest. It makes it nearly impossible to advance your knowledge.

### 3/5 — Sadly to a paid subscription

*2024-10-11*

Was a good resource that I would have teens download who I would teach umpire classes to. Was great way to give them a fast reference if they got stuck on something. Unfortunately now it’s back to googling the rule. Free and simple, this was a perfect app for beginners.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words, and we did provide our app free to thousands for four years. Unfortunately, free does not sustain the cost of producing and maintaining a fast, multiple rules set, effective baseball rules resource. $10 is a small price to pay to have these great features quickly at your fingertips. Best regards, Jim Bettencourt CEO Baseball Rules in Black and White.

### 1/5 — Little reason to pay

*2024-10-09, version 2.0.0*

I liked the app when it was free. Paying a subscription for an app that gives you rulebook is not something I’m willing to do. Just use UmpireBible.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2024-04-10*

Extremely well done app. Rules and format are so easy to digest. It makes it nearly impossible to advance your knowledge.

### 5/5 — Great app with big potential

*2022-04-21*

Coming from a young 18 year old umpire. I must say this app was great. It provided great rules and a lot more information for me as a whole. Overall great app and I hope that it succeeds

### 5/5 — Umpires need this

*2022-04-19, version 1.1.0*

A top notch and easy to use guide that quickly explains any rule you need to access. It’s a must have at any level! I use it for youth baseball and it’s come in handy more than once.

**Developer response:** Hello carrier1031, thanks for the great R & R, could you please leave your contact info on our contact us page at https://www.baseballrulesinblackandwhite.com/contact-us, Jim
