### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Annoying with audio only plan

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

There are so many random irritations if you just have the audio only plan. You can click on a game and it’ll be like “you need a subscription” without asking if you want to listen to the radio broadcast. It’s like this all over the app, like they pretend we don’t exist.

### 4/5 — Weak Scoreboard Page, Video Overlays Gone

*2026-08-23*

The scoreboard pages used to be a very compact list of games with essential information listed in them, now they are oversized tiles which requires scrolling to review the games being played on a given day. All this to make it consistent across platforms, I guess. Never mind usability for the end user.

Homogenization also has taken over the video playback as they’ve taken away overlay features. That was a big selling point a few years ago, but I guess it wasn’t worth maintaining.

I can give some credit for the app crashing less often than it has historically, but it’s not as good an app today as it once was.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

I paid the $59.99 and it’s not working. I wanted to stream games not just listen to audio.

### 4/5 — Too many black outs

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

I live in the middle of nowhere in Missouri. I can understand the blackouts of Kansas City and St. Louis, but not Chicago. And now Apple TV, Amazon TV, ESPN have blackout privileges. I’m allowed to watch fewer and fewer games every year.

### 5/5 — All You Need

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

Takes a minute to navigate thru all the information, but anything & everything in MLB is there!

### 5/5 — Marvin Fant

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

I love this app, one of my favorites

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

Consistently stops playing.

### 1/5 — Stop Apple TV blackout

*2026-08-23*

I paid for all the games except in my region, BlueJays. Stop with games on Apple TV being blacked out

### 1/5 — Subscription not always honored

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*

Cannot watch Dodgers tonight’s game on app watched last few nights, now doesn’t accept my subscription.

### 1/5 — It suddenly doesn’t recognize my password

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

Right before the game

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

Just bought it can’t watch a game

### 1/5 — Game starts soon - no pregame audio available!

*2026-08-22, version 26.15.0*

@1PM, 8-22-26, Yankees and Blue Jays starts at 1:35pm, but no radio audio is available for either NY or Toronto, not even the Spanish feed.  The list of broadcasts shows this as a “Live” game, but dead silence on both channels.

### 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

### 5/5 — Best thing ever

*2026-08-23*

I’m Burmese/Australian from Sydney. Just checking between yankees and LA since around 2015 then covid started. Watch more sports then fall in love with the whole Dodgersmania. I follow GSW, 9ers and friends/ relos were saying stick with what you know. Also calling me bandwagon. Comon, I go for 9ers. How many heartbreaks that I have. In here in Aus, I follow NRL team called Parramatta Eels teams since 1996 and boy they choked every year. Nah I sticked by it and now I am a proud dodger fan. Signing Sho topped the deals. Let’s go dodgers. 3peats.

### 5/5 — Mlb

*2026-08-23, version 26.15.0*
