### 1/5 — following players i don’t want to follow anymore

*2026-08-25*

annoying. i updated the players i want to follow and its not listening to me.

### 1/5 — Thanks for not letting me watch

*2026-08-23*

Charge a disgusting fee then blackout games that aren’t even available on TV

### 1/5 — NBC - Peacock deals made me drop the app

*2026-08-23*

The subscription is already expensive at approx $60USD/mos. Now you need to pay another 12$/mos if i want to watch « all games » as advertised. I get black-outs games but forcing fans to pay for another app. Is just stupid. I was liking the app and willing to keep my subscription all season but this NBC/Peacock deal was my tiping point. 

i will reconsinder season by season when i see that ALL GAMES are broadcast on this app.

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

I’m a transplant to the Philly metro area, and have an MLB.TV subscription so I can keep watching the Yankees now that I am out of market. My account constantly gets flagged that I am in the Yankees media market and blacks out games for me, and the support staff that the app directs you to are completely useless, the only way I have been able to have my account fixed is my reaching out to MLB on Twitter

### 3/5 — Blackouts

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

These blackouts are utterly ridiculous. I will never understand it. It’s telling me I’m blacked out for games I am nowhere near. Why???????? This why baseball suffers.

### 2/5 — Commercials Freeze

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

All in all it’s a good app, but there’s a technical issue that has been around for years when using it to watch games on MLB.TV, frequently commercials will cause the app to freeze forcing you to reboot to continue viewing.
I’ve experienced this on the Google TV app, Roku app, and iOS apps on multiple devices. Also on multiple WiFi & cellular networks.

### 2/5 — Okay app when it works

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

(Which it rarely does). Amazing that a multi billion dollar industry can sell you access to their services and somehow put out a product that can’t do something as simple as stream a video. Don’t think I’ll ever be buying another subscription again.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

Consistently stops playing.

### 4/5 — Works for the most part

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

I have been with two carriers having the app and with both I frequently loose the broadcast in both rural and urban areas. Usually after extended “buffering” then have restart the app, causing me to miss significant time during the game-often 5 minutes or more. It has been that way since MLB first introduced the app and happens whether watching the video stream or listening to the radio stream. I’ve made comments about this before, but MLB doesn’t seem to care, as there has been no change.

### 5/5 — Love the dodgers

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

The dodgers are mine and my family’s favorite baseball team and this is an awesome app
