Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 73 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the pricing to be excessive and felt that the subscription model was a rip-off, especially with frequent blackouts and additional services required to watch all games. The app itself was a major source of frustration, described as buggy, outdated, and difficult to navigate, with issues like freezing, poor video quality, and a non-intuitive interface. Customer service was consistently criticized for being unhelpful, difficult to reach, and often staffed by representatives with communication barriers, leading to unresolved issues and a lack of support. Reviewers also expressed dissatisfaction with the overall user experience, citing problems with logging in, managing subscriptions, and the inability to watch their favorite teams without additional purchases or complications. Though some people mentioned that the app worked adequately when it did play, the frequent problems overshadowed any positive aspects.

The most difficult tv app to use

The most difficult tv app to use! Tuning in to watch a game in progress but MLB makes you maneuver through the pregame BS!!! By the time we get to the live game 2 more innings have gone by. STUPID! We’re never renewing this crap

One Star is Too Many

I would give it no stars if I could. Never starts up the first attempt. Have to restart my streaming device every time. One night we were forced to go to ESPN to watch and if we didn’t have a subscription through HULU, we would not have seen it. Why are we paying for such a poor app? Love the Mariners, hate the MLB APP

Can I give it a 0/5

Can I give it a 0/5? Textbook example of what’s wrong with monopolies. I can’t watch games unless I buy local cable so I buy mlbtv to watch my home team in my home and it won’t let me watch on my smart tv as it blocks casting and doesn’t make the app available on the LG system. POS

MLBTV to ESPN huge mistake

To Whom It May Concern,

I have been an MLB.TV customer for over five years, and I have to say that moving portions of the viewing experience to ESPN has been one of the worst decisions MLB has made from a fan's perspective.

Every time I try to log in and watch a game, I have to jump through multiple hoops just to access content that I already pay for. The login process is confusing, inconsistent, and far more difficult than it should be.

What makes matters even worse is the lack of customer support. When there is a problem, there is no easy way to speak with a live person and get it resolved. For a service that costs me $149 per year, that's unacceptable.

I've been a loyal customer because I love baseball and enjoy following my team regularly. Instead, the current experience has become so frustrating that I find myself losing interest in watching games altogether. Frankly, this change has pushed me closer to attending games in person rather than paying for a streaming service that is increasingly difficult to use.

MLB.TV used to be simple, reliable, and fan-friendly. The current setup feels like a step backward.

I hope MLB takes customer feedback seriously and works to improve the viewing and login experience before more loyal fans decide to walk away.

Sincerely,

Pedro Reyes

Total waste of money

Total waste of money. Horrible customer service from another country apparently as there is a lack of understanding when calling. I am in AZ and have a T-Mobile Home router that they shipped me from IL. Thus all Chicago games are Blacked out. MLB solution is for me to CALL IN EVERY GAME I WANT TO WATCH AND GET AN ACCEPTION! Wait 30 minutes to reach someone and 30 minutes to explain. They have tried to fix it 3 times and keeps blacking out.
This MLB package is a total Joke. Don't throw your money away.

I have had an MLB.tv subscription for a while now, and I was worried when I heard ESPN was taking control. I was 100% absolutely right. I canceled my subscription. I am trying other sites to get my baseball fix. I will update when I find something worthwhile.

I have two issues

I have two issues. One, almost every night the video feed works well until about the 8th inning and then it freezes up for a while, starts again, then freezes up for a while. The MLB app is the only app that I experience this with.

Two, I choose to listen to the radio feed which sometimes is synched perfectly and sometime is as much as 5 seconds off. I can do a better job by silencing the sound n my TV and turning on my radio.

The MLB app is a very second rate operation.

Worthless false advertising

We paid for a Mariners subscription and it specifically states that there are no blackouts unless it is a nationally broadcasted game. All of the sudden we’re getting blackouts for not nationally broadcasted games and all I can get for support is an AI telling me that now all the sudden we’re getting can’t watch any Mariner game in our area. WTAF?

Over priced for the streaming quality

Over priced for the streaming quality. App randomly crashes at least once a game weather using any of our firesticks or lg smart TV. Have 1 gig fiber internet, no other apps have issues like this does, and its the one we pay the most for.

Don’t do it

Don’t do it! You’ll be sorry. The app is terrible. Couldn’t get to work. Followed all their instructions, no luck. I called customer service and I’m still waiting for their call back ( it’s been weeks ). So I tried to cancel the first day after purchase. I couldn’t. App didn’t work and no return call. So I protested charge with my credit card company and froze their charge. MLB APP is expensive to begin with and with the terrible service why bother? I love baseball but this is silly.I hope there is a lockout in 2027 and MLB App goes belly up.
