The Play app is EXTREMELY difficult to use because accessibility is very, very poor. Many items are not labeled in a way where I actually know what I am tapping on in the iOS environment with Voiceover and that makes the game play all but impossible with BTS and hopeless with the other games. I've only kept this app on my phone because I would love to hope that some day, you will do better than this. This app is a barrier for the blind that almost is as shameful as the racial barriers that kept greats from playing ball until 1947 when Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers. Please improve your accessibility and be more inclusive. **Developer response:** Hi there - we appreciate your feedback regarding the MLB Play app. Please feel free to email us at play@mlb.com if we can address any specific concerns that you have about Beat the Streak or any of our other games. ### 4/5 — MLB Play Games *2023-10-22* Love the app and participate daily! For the most part, I’m happy with the current games available. Though I would also like to see past games made available at least periodically (such as “Base Chase”). Also, I would like to see “Bingo” adjusted for the use of multiple bingo cards &/or being able to have a bingo card(s) for multiple MLB games in a single day! My only real disappointment regarding the games themselves, is that “Pickle” awards neither XP nor Tokens! **Developer response:** Hi there - we appreciate your thoughts/feedback regarding MLB Play and will be happy to send them along to our team for review. Please feel free to email us at play@mlb.com with any additional concerns. ### 5/5 — Some ideas to add in the future *2023-10-10* 1) Add a different mode where you can pick a lot of people (maybe up to 5 or 10 each day) and see how far you can get. You probably don't win money in this mode but maybe you can win a cool profile pic or something - Maybe have a different leaderboard to show how many total players hits and overall total hits you have throughout the year 2) Fun idea: A betting mode where you make crazy parlays and win points or cool prizes (doesn't have to involve real money, a free bet mode would actually be cool) 3) Add a special Playoffs mode? (i don't believe there is one, i could be wrong idk) 4) More stats for you, who you like to pick, etc.. - A section that shows everyone you picked and how well they did throughout the year (i remember they had this on an older version of the app) I feel like these simple additions can go a long way, i think people would like these. Always looking forward to playing this every year, one of the hardest competitions to win! **Developer response:** Hi there - we appreciate your thoughts/feedback regarding MLB Play and will be happy to send them along to our team for review.

One thing that it would be really nice to see improved though is a pick for a game that never starts and gets postponed eventually unlocking so that I can pick a different player. For one thing, if I really want to pick a player, I’m not just going to not pick him because of a threat of rain. But imagine if two guys are at 56. One picks a guy who gets a hit, and the other picks a guy in a game that’s not even played. I think that would really be unfair. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback regarding Beat the Streak and we will be happy to pass it along to our team for review. Please feel free to email us at play@mlb.com if we can answer any other questions for you regarding the app. ### 5/5 — Disheartening Overall *2023-07-02* I think the app is fine, but just the way the prizes work is still not user friendly. All I got for a streak of 20 was a free 30 day MLB TV Subscription, which is useless for me. I get not just giving away a decent prize every time you get to say 5 or 10 since those aren’t very long streaks, but the lack of prizes is just not at all encouraging. It’s very disheartening. Most athletes at the pro level make millions upon millions of dollars. And some really are good. But because of that, there is absolutely no good reason to cheap out like this. It took me almost 4 years to reach 20 again, and that was all I got. It’s really not that easy to reach even 20, and there should instead be some type of 10 or 15 percent MLB Shop discount awarded. Would really like to see that for streaks of at least 15. That’s how it was a few years ago sometimes. So why is that no longer the case? I mean, I get it. I really do. But this really needs to be better. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback regarding Beat the Streak and we will be happy to pass it along to our team for review.

I ignore “Beat the Streak” because gambling is the last vice I haven’t indulged, and I’m skeptical of MLB embracing big money gambling houses after a long history of hands-off. I guess there’s too much money to be made… “Bingo” and “By the Numbers” are both quick and fun. Pickle is my the favorite feature, but for some reason gives no tokens. I have a two-week winning streak, but still 0/0. Ah, well. ### 5/5 — I like the new and improved look of this new 2023 BTS App. *2023-04-20* I like the new look of this new 2023 BTS App. This new site is well thought out and very easy to navigate when playing BTS. I’ve been playing BTS for many many years and the last few years, the App was terrible. Now it is back to being a fun game to play. Keep up the good work! Hope I win! Wish me luck! 👍🙏 ### 1/5 — Useless app *2023-04-03* No point in getting the app. If you wanna watch spring training, it’s a great app. Don’t bother and get the live TV, just tells you that you can’t. Love how they don’t bother to tell you that for 25 bucks a months, that you can’t watch your favorite team. Due to television restrictions and contracts. I give it a one star and that’s just because it gives you news. Don’t bother on live TV. NFL TV actually knows what they’re doing. You can watch NFL on antenna and MLB you can’t get enough streaming services to watch 😂 love my mlb but they gotta figure their stuff out. Don’t get the app and definitely don’t upgrade. Waste of money. **Developer response:** Hi there - it sounds like you are having issues with the MLB app. If you would like to contact our team regarding anything with the MLB app or MLB.TV, please reach out to customerservice@mlb.com. ### 1/5 — Very un accessible to blind users using Apple iPhone, and voiceover. *2023-04-02* The app is very not friendly to blind users of MLB, using screen reader, I am using an iPhone, SE, 2020 with voiceover, a lot of in label, buttons, and links, and when I click the button that says I already have an MLB account, it does not do log, and it does not bring up that. I did login successfully with the MLB app, and that seems to be fine when I tap the tab that says watch, and then the other tab, I mean button, that says audio. I would like this app to have some more improvements. Hopefully thank you for reading my feedback and comments. ## Frequently asked questions about MLB Play ### What is MLB Play?
