It is glitching

### 1/5 — Real version cost money

*2026-04-25, version 2.9.9*

I got this thinking it was free but then I realized that you had to pay real money!!! I may be a cheap freak but I don’t care. The free version was still pretty good but it only had about ten questions. Buy this if you can afford monthly payments.

### 5/5 — Teaching my 7 year old

*2026-04-12, version 2.9.6*

I am a mom who doesn’t know baseball well. This app is perfect for teaching my son the rules and where to make the plays. Most of the kids on his team have their dads coaching or taking them to watch games.  Since we don’t have that I needed a way for him to learn the plays as the other kids are picking up the game faster.
