Able to keep up with my local team.
It takes a while for the At Bat Apple subscription to be recognize by this and the MLB app but eventually it works.

Video quality much improved over the years
I’ve been using the MILB app from its beginnings; the video quality and production values have much improved over the years. The app itself is rather clunky and lacks any of the polish of the MLB app. In particular, the radio options are just a link to external websites.
2024-04-06
Absolute Garbage
Paid for the streaming service. Was able to figure it out last year. I get error message when I try to stream. I don’t know why mlb does everything it can to ensure that fans can’t watch games. Until someone steps up and realizes that it’s 2024 and people should be able to watch any game they want at any time, then baseball will continue to lose fans as the older generation dies off.
2024-04-06
Massive underachiever
Literally cannot access a team’s page unless I set them as a favorite. So, this is just a favorite teams app disguised as the official app of MILB. Cheapo bot ads are the icing on the cake.
This app has massive potential utility but apparently nobody in charge cares at all.
2024-04-06
Subscribed to MiLB in iPhone subscription
Looks like I’m not the only one having issues. I’m logged in and went to the iPhone subscriptions, and paid for MiLB in iPhone subscription. It won’t let me play. Say I don’t have permissions to view this Content despite paying for the subscription. What a horrible experience. You think MLB would be able to get a Phone app right!!
UPDATE: MLB is the developer. They should adapt the MLB app to work for MiLB. I canceled the MiLB subscription and subscription to the MLB subscription which works with MiLB. 🤯
This is a half baked application.
2024-04-06
Terrible
Have tried to sign on using my provider that worked last year or the MLB app which worked last year can not find place to link appts Useless
2024-04-05
Paid my money, it didn’t work
Signed up for the $3.99/month plan. Glitchy, didn’t work. Didn’t get to watch the game. Wasted $3.99. Glad I didn’t pay up front yearly.
Also, attempted to get a hold of someone to complain/ get me $3.99 back. However, no agents were available.
2024-04-05
What happened?
Wow this app is terrible. I really don’t have to include specifics it’s so much worse than last season.
2024-04-04
Send’em to the Minors!
What in the world did you do to this app? There were certain teams that I followed but whatever you did at the beginning of the year is a choke job. This app makes no sense. With the amount of money MiLB makes surely you can put more money and effort to make something usable. Whoever made these changes- send them down to the Minors!
2024-04-03
Improved but room for growth
Once Triple A season (2024) started the app has improved but could be so much better have all the stuff on the app just not open a website . But it’s nice to be able to watch my favorite minor leagues teams
2024-04-02
What have you done?
This used to be an useful app for me regarding my favorite minor league teams. Easily able to keep up with their schedules with a few clicks and who was getting called up. I don’t know what individual made you change the app into a cheapen version of the website but they are not the brightest individual around. I don’t care about food at a minor league park that is 20 hours away from me. I don’t care about most other team highlights, I want to see the teams that I care about. It’s clear the app has sucked for years with a path forward before this update but now, the app has been set back years. All for a new logo
2024-04-02
Won’t screen mirror to AppleTV 4K no app for AppleTV
Won’t screen mirror to AppleTV or Sony AppleTV app. Forced to use browser on Android TV OS to watch games on TV. No app available for AppleTV.
2024-04-02
No Support for AirPlay or App on AppleTV
Why not?
2024-04-02
What happened
So awkward to navigate now. How do you favorite your teams to make it easier to follow them? So annoying.
2024-03-31
Nothing but frustrating.
Can’t watch videos. Why not? “Because you didn’t subscribe.” Really???? My checking account seems to think I subscribed! How about you give me back my money? No? Big surprise…. This is literally the worst app I have ever downloaded.
2024-03-31
Fix this app!
I love everything about minor league baseball except this app. Please make it like your previous versions where teams could be easily searched and bookmarked.
2024-03-30
Box scores and player stats
Would love the ability to go from box score to click on the player back to the box score. But they kick you back to the home screen of the team you’re looking at instead of the box score. Makes no sense.
2024-03-27
Made it worse!
If “fixed bugs” means making it worse and unable to look at different teams other than the favorite you’ve selected, then congrats you succeeded! Please fix it!
2024-03-25
Calendar won't sync
I don't know what changed, but I can't get the schedule to show up on my calendar this year. That is only the primary purpose for me to have this app. I am subscribed to it, my calendar shows it in list is subscribed calendars, but nothing showing up on the calendar. So frustrating.
2024-03-22
iPad access
I have an iPad to view MILB. Why can’t i view it in landscape?
2024-03-21
New Update is Trash
2023 was probably the best the App has ever been and now this year they decided to go in the opposite direction. How am I supposed to keep track of my favorite minor league teams? Why is there no option to follow them like I can in the MLB app? Why is it all of sudden that when I want to look at my local team’s schedule I have to go through every minor league teams schedule? Go back to the team centric format like it was last year or I might as well just use the website.
2024-03-20
Absolute garbage
Why would they remove the feature to highlight a team and have your homepage center around them??? Do you think I care about ANY minor league baseball besides my local team????? Absolute disgrace and MLB/MiLB should be ashamed
2024-03-17
Alerts disabled by resetting all settings
This is a common bug in apps. Resetting all iPhone settings disables all alerts. Some apps recover by asking to send alerts when you open them, some never try again and require the app to be deleted and installed again. This is one of the latter, requiring a full app delete to get alerts back. Please fix
Also please share data with Apple so scores appear on Apple TV alerts and in the Apple sports app.
2024-02-18
Why do you not care about reviews?
1.9 rating
Please make the app horizontal for iPads and tablets.

Why don’t you allow Picture in Picture for MILB.tv Games?
Since you now have created a “ A new, unified login experience,” for logging in to the MILB app using our MLB account ID, why do you STILL not allow Picture in Picture when watching games on a phone? I know I can do the below (which I previously posted last year), but it would be great to just be able to have Picture in Picture available on the MILB app itself instead of having to do the “workaround” below.
Workaround I discovered in 2023:
Just an FYI for anyone reading this who had issues watching games in the MILB first pitch app. If, like me, you have an mlb audio at bat subscription and therefore also access to any MILB.tv game, just watch the minor league games in the mlb app. Whichever mlb affiliate’s games you want to watch, temporarily set the mlb app to that parent club as your favorite team. The watch tab has video feeds for wash of that team’s affiliates who is playing that night. On the mlb app, you can do Picture in Picture if watching on a phone and if watching on a smart tv, just download the mlb app to your tv and do what I described above to watch the MILB games.
2024-02-13
Don’t Waste Your Time
Whoever developed this app obviously didn’t spend any time on it, so why should you? Why offer the app when you have to access it through MLB app? Why try to trick you into some plan needing payment for movies, books, and perhaps Minor League Baseball? Thanks for nothing. Deleted immediately.
2024-02-02
Embarrassingly Poor
Can’t mirror the app to Apple TV, no TV app. I’m going back to following indy teams in the American Association. At least I can watch their games on a TV with their app.
2023-09-21
No loading
This app does not work on my iPhone just keeps loading nothing happen. Need to fix by next season if not then get rid of it.
2023-09-19
Broken
Latest update broke the app. Can’t open Gameday at all. Fix this.
2023-09-17
Does it work.
I tried this app and all I get is a black screen. Does it even work?
2023-09-14
Video doesn’t work after app update
I can’t watch the games anymore it’s just a black screen. Really liked it after they finally added landscape mode for iPad but not anymore.
2023-09-14
Push Notifications
Can we get more personalized push notifications available to us again? I love getting notifications for my teams but I want to be able to only get final score notifications rather than all scoring changes for each game.
2023-09-09
Minor league players deserve better
Would love to watch the game that I paid the subscription before but in a complete loop of having to login and then not watch.
2023-09-05
Terrible
We pay to be able to watch the games, but now I can’t AirPlay to a device during a live game. Why did you take this ability away!?! Sooo annoying!!!
2023-08-26
“Failed to play stream”
It was buggy the past few seasons. Almost unusable now.
2023-08-11
Wow. Absolutely terrible and intentionally stole money from me
Stole my money by letting me buy a subscription that doesn’t work on this app or on the mlb or milb website to stream any games as it said it would. Pretty annoying
2023-08-03
Cant watch the games
All of the games say they’re unable to be streamed. What’s the point?
2023-08-01
App is awful 👎🏻 👎🏻
I subscribed to this app to watch my nephew who is a pitcher. Being a pitcher he doesn’t play every game and when he pitches he doesn’t even play the entire game so not getting a live video feed at the start of the game is very very frustrating.
His game today started at 8:05 and it’s 8:43 as I write this review and I still can’t view his game.
I think in todays world you should be able to get the game televised. If this keeps up
I’ll just cancel my subscription.
2023-08-01
Dig It
Love this app!! I look forward to the minor league season every year. Thank you for fixing landscape on iPad! With that, this app is back to full greatness!!!
2023-07-29
This App is legit just a scam
You can’t stream anything when you spend $4 a month it just won’t load, then when you go to contact support it won’t even send the message. Don’t even support the free app it’s not worth it
2023-07-27
Doesn’t work.
I subscribed to a year subscription & can not stream ANYTHING. I’ve been emailing MiLB customer service with no help other than contact apple. Been dealing with Apple for the past hour. No luck. You’ve been warned.
2023-07-27
Screen fails to rotate
The app no longer switches view on the iPad. Can only watch the game with the iPad tilted with the tall side up . When you rotate to the normal screen position it will not rotate. Extremely annoying to watch a game on it. Last season paying for it if it isn’t fixed by next season.
2023-07-27
Apple Air Play has Been Disabled
Just terrible idea after latest update the AirPlay has been Disabled and if using IOS you are now unable to stream to your TV! Boo this app!
2023-07-27
Some improvements, some back steps
They did fix the bug about not being able to see the standing and scores for other leagues. They have also made it to where you can close the app, and still be able to listen to audio. However, I have some more ideas. I would like it if you could minimize the listening tab to make it smaller while still being able to listen, so you can use other parts of the app. I also was not able to find a way to see the elimination number in the standings. I know it’s early in the second half, but I hope that is around at the end of the second half.
2023-07-24
Absolute shame
This app was completely destroyed years ago, sad to see it’s still the same. Used to be almost identical to the MLB app and was a must have for baseball fans. Scores, schedules, stats, standings, radio/video, all easily accessible. No bugs or links. Now it’s a disaster. Unfortunate how much harder they’ve made it to follow minor league ball.
2023-07-23
Not happy I can’t watch a game
I purchased a monthly subscription to watch some minor league games through this app. Every time I try and watch a game it tells me that the account I’m using isn’t entitled to watch the game. Need to subscribe or upgrade my account. Need answers or I’m going to cancel the subscription at the end of the week and waste $3.99 .
2023-07-21
Complete garbage
Downloaded the app, paid the $3.99 subscription, and it then it said “Failed to play stream”. Complete garbage and lost my business!
2023-07-20
Updated to a broken app
This used to be a great app to follow minor league baseball until a groundbreaking update that made the thing totally unusable. Even the things it actually does requires a lot of guesswork to find. Absolutely pathetic.
2023-07-19
Don’t sign up through the APP!
As expected of a MLB managed app the only way to ensure no issues creating an account is by registering on a computer. I created an account through the app and paid for a subscription but MLB customer service can’t find my account and I don’t have access to live TV.
2023-07-15
Would be a cool app…
but it seems no one wants to actually keep it up-to-date, and more importantly, functional. It’s hilarious how they “added” things because the app won’t even load scores let alone anything else. Guess I’ll have to stick with BR (even though that is just awful “journalism”.
2023-07-10
This is an amazing super terrific item
This can of beans is the greatest little ovals I have ever tasted in my life. I’ve been critizized by friends and family for my love of these can of beans. I play games with them. I sleep with them, and only eat them when they make me mad. Please buy this but DO NOT EAT!!!!!!
Oh crap wrong item
2023-06-06
Useless on iPad. No PiP on iPhone. Won’t stay logged in.
This app is terrible and the live game video is absolutely not worth paying for. Why would you not enable PiP? Why must I provide my login credentials every single day I want to watch a game? Every data-viewing function just pulls up an in-app web browser and I can do that myself. How is this app so terrible compared to the MLB app, especially now that MLB commandeered the entire Minor League system? Get your crap together and provide an app and service worthy of the fee you’re charging.
update: they haven’t fixed a single thing. Imagine having to watch video in portrait mode on an iPad with no picture-in-picture option.
2023-04-23
No screen rotation
After 2 weeks of getting error messages when trying to watch a live game, I finally deleted and reinstalled the app. That took care of being able to watch the games, but now when I’m watching on my iPad the video only plays in portrait mode and there is no way to allow correction to rotate the video to match the orientation of the iPad. In face the whole app is stuck in portrait configuration. Makes it tough to watch a game that way. If this isn’t addressed I will likely request a refund due to the small viewing area.
2023-04-16
Landscape mode on iPad
I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews for this app. I don’t think it’s as bad as they sound, but also, a lot of those reviews are from 3-4 years ago. There are things that can be tweaked for sure. Maybe model the app a little closer to the MLB app itself.
But my main complaint is that there is no landscape mode on iPad. This is annoying when you are trying to simply navigate the app (get scores, standings, news, etc.), but it makes the app almost completely unusable to watch games on an iPad. Landscape video works fine on iPhone, so where is it on iPad?
2023-04-12
Lacks features, difficult to navigate
Another year, another garbage iteration of the milb app. Nothing has changed. Can’t view a teams full schedule or past scores, have to look through day by day scoreboard for league or team. None of the players names are linked, so if you tap on a player name their stats or bio/profile don’t show up. Again see no support for complex/summer leagues. If you do go to the daily scoreboard and click on a box, there’s no way to return to the daily scoreboard. You have to navigate to a new tab, return to scoreboard, and start your search all over again.
Year after year one of the worst apps I have to use on a regular basis. I’d gladly pay for a “pro” version of this if they mirrored the big league app. But this thing is trash.
2023-04-07
Needs some love
The app is great when it works. As of the start of the 2023 season, I can’t AirPlay to my tv to watch, even after being a paying customer. I also can’t get the screen to rotate to full screen on my iPad after confirming that auto rotate is not locked in settings. These both had no issues in 2022. Please show some love to the MiLB and address some of these issues.
2023-04-04
Could be great…but not until it fixes the issues
My biggest gripe is looking at box scores. As a fantasy baseball player I look at minor leaguers I own and scout others daily, if you click on any box score you are unable to navigate out of it and return to either the previous page, the home page, or any other screen outside of any links involving the affiliate who’s box score you opened. The only way is to completely close the app and reopen new. This is both tiresome and tedious. It needs to be fixed, I don’t recall having this issue in past seasons so I am hoping it is addressed shortly.
2022-09-12
Needs to be held to a higher standard
I haven’t been able to get on this app since last week Thursday. I pay a subscription fee for this app the last few years to watch my son play in the Minors, and sometimes there is no feed or the app doesn’t work. This app needs to be held to a higher standard just like your MLB app. Stop treating this like a step child. I haven’t been able to get on this app since last week, and couldn’t watch my son last Friday on this app pitching his last outing of the season. Every time I click on the app, it blanks out & disappears. At this point, you should be giving me some kind of credit. I would send you an email, but last time I sent one, you never responded.
2022-07-25
Works great as of 2022
I can’t honestly compare the app to previous versions but I can say that from my experience the app works very well. I remember reading previous reviews where certain aspects of the app were difficult to get to, but now it seems as though most of the things that you want to do are at your fingertips. The use of schedule banners and drop downs seem to be more logical. There are good similarities to the MLB app as well. As far as I’m concerned I think they listen to all of the previous complaints and address them.
2022-06-10
Do Something!!
The majority of the reviews here offer suggestions and/or complaints telling you exactly what is wrong with your app. Some of the complaints/suggestions have been the same for years but you do nothing to respond or make fixes. My main complaint is having to re-log on to this paid for app every day to watch games. This same complaint is here many many times but you do absolutely nothing for your paid customers. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Please fire whoever is in charge and find a professional that cares.
2022-06-09
Incredibly bad interface
Extremely kludgy user interface. Hit double A or single A and you still see triple A games. Does not save any info and you have to manually enter ID and password, and you are back on Triple A teams, regardless of what level you enter.
Subtitles will suddenly appear and try to shut them off without killing the feed. The ”recommended” setting is “automatic” for subtitles; why? Who knows? And they periodically start again, even when you shut them off.
Why are only the home announcers available? Why not the away announcers too, considering that most people watching are likely visiting team fans? Minor league hockey seems to be able to handle it.
The MiLB app appears to have been thrown together and never had a serious upgrade to fix problems. Very sloppy.
2022-05-15
Worst app experience
This is probably the worst app experience I’ve ever dealt with. The app closes itself in the middle of games, causing you to miss things. The app also randomly just doesn’t load; you’ll go to open it but it’ll just sit there not responding. For a while I was also running in circles trying to login, and every time I logged in it would ask me to login again. On top of the app not working, the customer service is not responsive. I’ve had this app for years and I’m still waiting to hear back from messages I sent years ago.
2021-08-08
Thanks for nothing!
Your free live streaming audio feature is useless! Cuts out after 2 minutes. Takes another 2 minutes to get back to team selection page to start audio again. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! whoever designed this app did not make it "user friendly" to say the least. . I was considering a subscription so I could watch the games BUT the fact that the audio feature is so bad I will not risk subscribing to the video broadcasts. Just think of the money you must be losing as I doubt I'm the only customer who feels this way.
p.s. A nice addition to this app would be a glossary of baseball abbreviations
2021-07-06
Used to be good, now it just stinks
1)If a game was previously suspended you do not see the current game on the schedule you see that game and you have to scroll to the left just to find the current game. 2)You do not automatically stay logged in permanently, you have to keep logging in every few days just to be able to watch the games if you have the “TV” game watching subscription service. 3)With no season in 2020 you would think they would have worked on getting the ability to watch this on Apple TV so you can watch on a regular tv instead of mobile device, which still is not available. They had an entire year to improve the app but instead it has gotten worse.
2021-07-01
Log in issues
I use this app quite often. My son n law is a player and spends time between MLB and Milb. When he is in AAA I watch his games by streaming through this app. My issue is not the app itself but with logging in. When I watch the MLB app I can log in one time and it stays logged in. I NEVER have to log in again unless I sign out of the app. The Milb app is frustrating because every time you close the app whether you log out or not you have to sign back into the app again if you want to watch a game. Please fix this issue!!!! You should never have to log back into this app ever unless you physically log out.
2021-06-26
Individual game stats
An update this year took away the ability to review a player’s individual game stats when you go to his page. You only get the summary stats for the season.
On a team’s page, only the upcoming home games are listed. You have to search for the away games elsewhere. Most parents of the players are not in the town where their sons play.
One can no longer search for a player within the app. Must go to actual website.
2021-06-25
Terrible
Like others have said this used to be a good app. Now, not so much.
Beware, if a team you're following has it's game suspended, that suspended game will be the game that's stuck on their home page. You will need to swipe to get to the current game. It doesn't matter if it's a couple games ago or twenty games ago, however many games ago is how many swipes to get to current game. I even deleted the app, reinstalled then picked teams, but still no change.
Avoid. Just use your pc/laptop to get your team(s) info.
2021-06-08
Buggy, bad app
What outsourcing company made this app? It doesn’t remember your login. It’s unintuitive. If you select Double A to view their games, it will switch back to triple A when you leave the screen, but won’t change the header, so you’ll see a bunch of triple A games under the double A header. You have to remember to tap again to get the real schedule. Even when you subscribe you’ll have janky ads all over the app.
You can’t set a reminder for game starts, and you have no idea if a game will actually be viewable or not. Audio feeds are done by iHeart. So if the game isn’t broadcasted on video, you basically pay $40 for free iHeart radio with commercials. Did I mention paid subscribers still get janky ads all over the app itself?? We’ll yeah. No thanks. Terrible experience. Also, the iHeart radio stream cuts out once the app goes in the background!!! Literally useless for radio.
2021-06-07
As of now, a scam
Aside from the fact that this app has been mostly garbage since it’s redesign in 2019 (it used to operate exactly like the MLB At Bat app, which was great, but now everything within the app is just a link to different webpages that pull up via a browser in the app), it is now a total scam for people paying $40/yr for access to video. The buttons to watch archived games are broken in the app, so you can’t watch any of the games. So now they’re taking our money without giving us anything for it. So, a scam.

Well at least it doesn’t crash anymore - now fix the rest
Thank you for fixing the crash for “some” (I’m betting most if not all) so at least it runs. I think others have put it plainly - please go and put it back the way it was - your current layout and functionality leaves a LOT to be desired. I too miss the monthly schedule, can you at least bring that back? And why do companies think that changing an app is a good idea, if it’s not broke and it’s not a requested feature, don’t change it!

I wish this was like it used to be.
I had this app for about 2 years and I didn’t use it much at first. But our baseball team where we live is only about 25 minutes from our house. And it’s easy to go to games and this app “used “ to be very helpful. I have been having trouble even logging into and seeing seats availability and tickets and player stats and so on... now it will not even come up for me. I hate not seeing player stats and stuff like that bc some of our former players went to go on to the Majors for the Texas Rangers. It’s a shame that this app used to be so good now I don’t even use it. Bc there is really no point in it. Please change it back.

Used to be great
I used to use this app every day to check all sorts of games and stats, HOWEVER, they’ve made an update this year in 2019 in which the app is utterly and completely useless. The way to view schedules are garbage, you can’t view them by game, finding player stats and info is very difficult now, and overall this app is complete trash. If they want people to continue using it they better revert back to the old ways, because this is an absolute joke for an app in 2019.
Update: The reviews about how much everyone hates the changes to this app continue to pour in, yet there is no effort of any change on MiLB’s part. This is a pathetic excuse for an app compared to what was our last year and before. I continue to only use a computer to check minor league stats and standings as the way the app is designed is so utterly poor it is unusable. Revert back to the old changes or continue to lose attention from fans you desperately need.

The 2019 Version Is Terrible
I hardly ever write app reviews, but I cannot believe how this app has been ruined by “improvements” for this year. This app was great last year, but now it is just awful. Last year it was very similar to the MLB app, which is very convenient to use. Now, everything you click on takes you to a webpage. This is not a great idea for a sport that’s trying to keep as many fans interested as possible, especially for the minor leagues. Please bring last year’s version of the app back it was significantly better.

When using the “Select by MLB Affiliate” option, I will click one MLB team and look at their affiliates then, I’ll go back and click on another team to look at their affiliates, but the MLB team and its affiliates is not the MLB team I clicked on. I.e. I click on the Diamondbacks and see their minor league teams then will go back and click on the Braves and it will come up with like the Rays team and its affiliates...

Frustrating to use
I just want to watch a game. Which should be easy. For me I have to keep my phone on (I stream it to my TV because Apple TV doesn’t have an app for First Pitch) until I want to take a break. That’s when I need to take a screen shot of the time so when it resets after closing the app I can get back to where I left off. I may be dumb, but I’d think you could just run this app like the Pro one and be just fine. I feel like I wasted $25 on this, and have yet to enjoy the app. I can’t even track stats!! I just use the internet for that 😑

Great interface, awful performance
This ONCE was a great app for followers of MILB. The functionality has diminished tremendously. In other words: used to be really good now it’s not! Access to box scores is clunky. The audio access has issues and won’t play in the background. It works with iOS 12 and has rendered many devices inoperable with this app. MLBatbat is amazing and this was a pleasant supplement for junkies of the game. I get frustrated listening to baseball... which is unfathomable. I’d go one star but there is a lot of content to account for and it is free.
****Not ONE 5 star rating in the last year. That would be worrisome to me!

Very Disappointed
I have been a user of the MiLB app for over 3 years and I have never been this disappointed. Feeds can’t be played on iPhone X unless you are connected to WiFi and you can no longer access box scores. This has been a major disappointment and all actual functionality of this app has been lost. The “improvements” for this app have been anything but and the navigation for this app is virtually non existent. This update has been a total flop and to say a disappointment is an understatement. The developers should be ashamed of themselves for assuming this would be an improvement. Update: This app slightly improved but is once again dysfunctional. Whomever hired these developers needs to be fired.

What happened?
Why did you feel the need to “fix” this app. It worked perfectly well for the last 3 years. This new update has ruined The Who milb experience on my smart phone. We no longer can see a teams schedule by the month. That makes it hard to get a visual for where they will be and plan accordingly. Why do we now need to be redirected to a website when choosing to see the box score? Why doesn’t it go to the most current game happening when you choose your team. I have to scroll to today’s game for some reason. Why when i pick to watch do I have to constantly pick double A. It keeps returning to triple every time. Also why do we have to keep signing back in every single day. Get it together. Who ever redesigned this app needs to understand what it is like to be a fan of the milb. This app is complete crap and I want it back the way it was. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it!

I would give It less than 1 star if I could
This app has gone downhill. I have the app and pay monthly to watch games because my boyfriend is on a Minor league team. Video is horrible, I can’t ever actually watch the game. It constantly freezes, skips, stops all together. I’ve tried using this app on different devices and WiFi and It still doesn’t work. Not only that but I tried contacting customer service where all they did to help was tell me to delete the app and redownload It. Thank you but that was the first solution I had and that did not work. Now GameDay isn’t even working. The new 2019 version of the app is overall horrible. Thank God TuneIn still works or I would have zero way of staying in tune to how my boyfriend is doing since I cannot be there. This is by far the MOST FRUSTRATING app ever.

We all make mistakes
I also once hired my unqualified nephew to redesign my product because my sister and mom guilted me into it. I also thought the half-baked ideas he gleaned from his half semester at community college before dropping out sounded at minimum different than what we were already doing. I also lost revenue and respect as a result of his ineptitude and my own terrible decisions.
(Hang on. That's not what happened with this app? Oh.)
Well, I also worked for a group that provided an efficient and satisfactory service, which meant they really didn't need much from me. This made me frightened they might begin to see me as dead weight as there was little reason for me to work on something that already functioned so well. In order to justify my position with the company, I needed to implement a complete overhaul of the product to make it so unbearable they would need to keep me on staff for eternity to undo all of the problems my "improvements" created. Problems such as paying customers bailing like rats on a ship.
(That's the one. Feels good. Feels right.)
At least 75% of the streams no one will ever get to see via the app are theoretically in HD now. Y'know, 15 years after HD became standard.
Maybe if I delete and download the app an eighth time it will work. Maybe? It might be working ... nope, it was just gas.
2019-04-15
Ugh
They took a decent app and made it exponentially worse. Who thought the new design was a good idea? Do they not do any user testing at all? I design websites and apps for a living and so I can’t stand poor design. And this app is Exhibit A for poor design. Why didn’t they just duplicate the MLB At Bat app design? That would be ideal. But at the very least, bring back the old design (which was very similar to MLB anyway) and we will pretend this travesty never happened.
There is one aspect of the new design I like: the ability to see the scores from all of a MLB team’s affiliates at the once. That’s pretty cool. Keep that feature, but redo everything else.

It’s a strikeout!!!!!!
This app is terrible!! I have used the old app for 7yrs during the MILB season, but the 2019 version is useless. 1) Looks terrible, can’t see who the starting pitchers are for the day with out clicking on the “+”, should be like (MLB app style). 2) Not able to immediately see the box score, lineups, pitch count, HR, double plays, etc. The only way to get to the box score is what seems like a link to the milb desktop site. Clicking on 4 pages to see a lineup is not fun.
3) Can’t click on players pics or names and see stats, old version and MLB version can be done very quickly and easily.
4) Have not found a way to save teams, and I don’t want to select the Level, League every time I try to use the app.
5) Fix all of this by using old interface or make exactly like MLB app.
Not one person I have talked to about this app thinks it is good. Everyone says “ I wish they would go back to the old app.....”
Contact me I can help.

Growth of the game?
I have never reviewed an app before but went through the trouble of posting this to share my disappointment in removing box scores from the app. It is no secret that baseball is struggling to maintain its appeal especially with younger fans. Instead of adding functionality, they have removed key elements I suppose in an attempt to force fans to pay for the paid package. Between this and the recently released memo cracking down on the publication of video I question whether this is a sport that wants to retain this once avid fan or in fact any of its fans. Please MLB and MiLB please take your cues from the NBA and embrace the social experience that is being a fan. I hope this latest update is just a stepping stone to an update with greater functionality that hasn’t been released but if anyone reads these please consider adding back box scores. Until then my usage will be 0.

Updated app is terrible.
I have been paying to watch the minor league games using this app for 5 years now. The changes that have been made are terrible. The schedule is no longer in a calendar view which makes it difficult to look at. The upcoming games no longer list the anticipated starting pitchers it only lists TBD. Initially thought the video could only be viewed using WIFI but now after trying to get into today’s game using WIFi I wasn’t able to access at all. Sent email logs but no response. I would recommend not paying for the video access because it is a waste of money if you think you are going to have access to the hundreds of games the advertise, you are not.

Used to love this app, now it’s useless.
I’ve used this app for years to keep up with my (now) husband, and I’ve always loved it. It used to mirror the MLB At Bat app, which was great. Now it’s like they were too lazy to handle the upkeep the app requires. You can’t watch Gameday or see boxscores in the app anymore, they just send you to the website (within the app, but still). Because of this, any notifications you have turned on are useless. No notifications for when games are starting, lead changes, pitching changes, etc., which for many of us is a huge reason we use the app. This update is supposed to be more “user friendly.” It’s not. It’s garbage. None/10 would recommend, and I would definitely not recommend paying for a monthly or annual subscription for the app until they revert to the previous format.

New user, very disappointed
I’m new to following MiLB games closely, because my home town, Amarillo, just got a team. I was excited in the offseason when I found out there was an app supposedly similar to MLB atbat for minor league games. When they FINALLY updated it and added the Sod Poodles the day before the season, however, it became nothing like the At-Bat and basically useless. Everything you could want to look at (Box Scores, Highlights, Audio from the games) just takes you in a pop up window and loads it on the MiLB site. If I wanted to do that, I’d just pull up the site myself. Plus, I turned on the notifications for the Sod Poodles and haven’t gotten a single one. I’ve had better luck turning on Twitter notifications from the team and listening to games in the TuneIn radio app. A refreshed version of last year’s app seems like it would be a lot better. Not sure why this route was chosen.

Makes the Minor Leagues look Bush League
I don’t have the time to bother going through everything wrong with this app update, but here’s some things:
• Gameday and Box Scores are not embedded, but are loaded from their respective webpages.
• Not only that...EVERY SINGLE BUTTON on the team page just opens an in-app web browser. Roster, schedule, team news, tickets, everything.
• Gameday and Box Scores are not available from the scoreboard page at all (???), only if you save a team page.
• If a game is rained out, the box score shows that the game is final and the game summary shows placeholders (e.g.: Runs: RR; Hits: HH; Errors:EE).
• Viewing any stats screen shows exactly one stat at a time.
• Most of the interface screens are filled with abnormally huge buttons or ridiculous amounts of white space, which is awful UI on a small screen.
• Still does not contain information for the AZL, GCL or DSL.
This app wasn’t great before, it was still just a 2-star app. Now 1-star is too high.
Congratulations on making the minor leagues look downright bush league.
2019-04-05
New Version TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just deleted the old app so I could renew milbtv. They have ruined this app. You cant easily search other games. You cant find a complete stat sheet without putting in your data in a dropdown window. But worst of all, it is only formatted for an iphone. If you use this app on an ipad, forget it. You can only view it in portrait mode. No landscape mode and app wont allow youur screen to flip to landscape. Please fix this to make this app more like it was in the past. You also cant look at a normal box score of another game while viewing unless in gameday mode. Brutal!!!!!!

2019 version extremely disappointing
Last hear was great. Perfect way to catch practically any minor league game across the country. “improvements” for 2019 have significantly reduced the product’s value. Glitches are numerous and we are only one game in so who knows how else I will be disappointed in games to come: screen does not rotate. Games appear as unavailable in game listing once started but actually are if you ignore the text. While watching a game, we no long per have easy access to instant stats, other scores, line ups, with an easy swipe. Pregame coverage is gone. Even the customer service form isn’t functional. Still not sure how to access archived games from yesterday because navigation is screwed up. Not sure why, knowing this version obviously didn't work, MILB didn't just switch back to the 2018 version. I cant recommend it presently, not at $50.
2019-04-05
A step down from the previous version
In the previous version your favorite teams were listed at the top of the scores page. The fact that you removed that feature makes this app harder to use. I have to scroll down possibly to the bottom of the scores page to see the score of my favorite team.
Also there is no capability to view a box score from the scoreboard screen? This app is practically useless for keeping up with individual players.
Terrible update. Please revert or fix
2019-04-04
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
The app was so much better last season. Everything is too big and messy now. I simply want to see a similar version of the MLB app like we’ve always had before, but now it’s like we’ve got a view of the MiLB website.
Edit- Reduced to one star because I’m also not getting the notifications now after triple checking in both the app and phone settings that they’re turned on. Same thing happened last season. Scores automatically reset to AAA when my one and only saved team is A+.
I urge the creators to go back to the way it was!!
2019-04-04
What In The World?
I’ve never felt passionately enough about any app to write a detailed review, but this most recent update has me so confused that I felt obligated on the small chance it may spurn a change.
What were you thinking? Seriously, who approved this? You took one of the best sports apps out there - easy to use, convenient, gave all the relevant information quickly, probably the second best box score app in my opinion - and turned it into a glorified web browser. Why? Did you need more clicks on your mobile site or something? I seriously don’t understand it.
It’s..awful. I used the old app every day, and now I will struggle to use this once a week but only because I have no other options. It’s that bad.
And to top it all off, you waited until after the season started to send the update!
It doesn’t look better, it doesn’t function better, and your webpages take forever to load even on 100mb WiFi.
Pay the players, then pay for a better app support leadership team.

Not Functional, Support Non-Existent
I downloaded the app and subscribed to MiLBTV to watch Durham Bulls away games. I have an iPhone 6s and Apple TV. I wanted to stream games via Airplay from my phone to Apple TV. Games work perfectly fine while playing on my iPhone, but the moment I switch to Airplay, it no longer works and I get a blank screen. I tried a random, pre-recorded, highlight video on the app and used Airplay. It worked with no problems. I contacted the supposed customer support team regarding the issue and have yet to receive a response.
Beyond that, the Standings page flickers/jumps every time and doesn’t include all of the information that the team sites do and it send a notification when a game is delayed due to weather.

Awesome App
I absolutely love this app and use it all the time. The only problem I have is that when I am on the Trenton Thunder page (favorite team page) the articles are just headlines. I looked at a bunch of other team’s pages and this problem seems to only be on the Thunder. Do they not have anyone writing articles or is it just a bug? Other than this I absolutely love MiLB and this app and I’d even be happy to write for the Thunder myself!😂(but i’m 13 so i don’t know if I could do that)

Great app!
Love the milb app! Great resource.
I do have an idea to try and improve though, if possible. When I'm looking though a box score, I know I'd love to see which players are listed on their team's top 30 per MLB pipeline. I'm thinking next to their name they could have the number (e.g. Moncada, #1). Alternatively, maybe just putting their name in bold font or all caps to highlight that they are on the top 30 and then when you click on the players name it would show their overall and organizational ranking. I know most of the guys in my favorite team's top 30 but I rarely know the opponents' top guys. Again, just a thought. Love the app overall!
