If the audio streaming worked consistently, and the app were a bit more polished, this would be a 5-star value for the whole season's worth of baseball. But I'm posting on Opening Day, and the app has already crashed on me several times, the audio drops about once per inning and stays dropped for quite some time, meaning I miss part of the game. And the app's interface doesn't seem to be very well considered: for instance, every time you go to the Home screen or answer a call the app forgets what game you're following and which audio stream you're listening to, forcing you to re-select it every single time you re-open the app rather than seamlessly resuming what you were doing last time (or allowing a permanent preference, say, for your favorite team's broadcasters). Nice idea, poor execution -- both the user interface and MLB's streaming infrastructure need work.

I'll gladly change my review to a five star once this app is working correctly. Was able to listen to the first 7 innings of my game with no issue (on wi-fi, 3G and EDGE) then suddenly my audio went out completely, going between "Connecting..." and "Error."

To all the reviewers who are currently slamming this application for supposed "bait and switch" tactics, the developers did not remove any functionality in this update! Everything that you could do in the previous version is still available in this version. You can still listen to either teams' radio feed for ANY game being played. You can STILL watch the one or two selected free games every day (subject to blackout restrictions like before). These free games are simply not at the top of the games list anymore, since most people would rather see their favorite team at the top. Aside from this minor and helpful tweak, the only thing the developers changed about this version of the app is that MLB.tv subscribers can now watch all of the games that they've already paid for on the iPhone. They aren't forcing anyone to buy MLB.tv to watch games; you still get the one or two free games per day without having to do anything extra. This update is a bonus for MLB.tv subscribers and is otherwise inconsequential to the rest of the users. Nothing has been taken away; this app is exactly the same as the previous version for non-MLB.tv subscribers. Once again, an awesome update by the wonderful developers for MLB. I wish other sports organizations had such a dedication to bringing the best possible viewing experience to their fans.

This looks to be a fantastic deal. Gameday Audio is $14.95 for the season when purchased through the mlb.com website, but only $9.99 when purchased as part of this application.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE LATEST VERSION!!!! One of the things that I really liked about the At Bat application was the ability to watch a few games daily on the 3.0 version. As of today, that has changed. In another move to stick it to the fans, MLB has downgraded the number of free live games to only one daily. Their excuse is that the downgrade was necessary to allow MLB.TV subscribers to access all games. Well sorry MLB. I was comfortable paying $9 for the app, but i'm not going to fork over another $69.99. It's bad enough that most games aren't even broadcast on local stations anymore. Since when does an "upgrade" actually remove features that your user base wants? At least the audio feeds are still free.... for now.

Don't get me wrong I like the MLB at bat application, but my major problem is my inability to watch the live video. Yesterday while checking some scores I saw an advertisement saying two games will now be streamed live each day. After downloading the $10 iPod touch OS upgrade to my disdain my iPod can not seem to determine my location!

The 2009 version of this app is a great value. $10 to listen to every game this season is well worth it and in the most recent versions I find that the streaming works very well on 3G no matter where I am (even at Citi Field, which has AT&T network issues). I was even able to listen to a Mets game on a cross-country flight on Virgin America over WiFi and then drove around northern California with my iPhone plugged into the stereo in the rental car and listen to the WFAN New York radio Mets broadcast as if I was driving on the LIE. I do have a number of issues that I would like to see addressed:

Before today this app was 5 stars, it's a great way to keep up with baseball if your not at home.. Now with the new 3.0 update it says we will get LIVE streaming video of select games, starting June 18. Currently 2 games scheduled each day for the next 5 days. FIVE STARS, a must have for any baseball fan, well worth the money.

It's the ultimate app now that you can watch every game with your pre-existing MLB.TV account. Not to mention home and away audio and condesed versions for every game.

There are 2 games today for free, and i don't know how often you people look at the app but there have been quite a few days when there was only 1 game free on video. The only things they did in this update was include the ability to watch any game for MLB.tv users and improved the interface so your favorite team always shows up at the top instead of the free games. Maybe you should pay attention and wait until they show the games of the day that are coming up before you start whining about things. You all just assume since the game of the day isn't on the top that they removed it completely? MLB, the app is fantastic. I'll gladly keep paying 10 bucks a season.

Just upgraded and I'm still getting 2 free games. Looking forward to the Cubies and Phils from my cube today! As an MLB.TV subscriber, I'm psyched that MLB.com is supporting us with the full lineup.

I downloaded and used last years version of this app and loved it. This version on the other hand doesn't deliver at all. It crashes, it has locked up my iPhone, and I have had a hard time connecting to the audio, and once connected I lose it. Not worth the 10 dollars at all.

I am not in a blackout part of the country. I am in Sacramento, trying to watch my METS come back from 5-0 deficit against the pirates. And now it is 5-5. I cannot get streaming video and customer support is nowhere to be found. I sent them a complaint but cannot find a phone number. PLEASE HELP. GO METS

This app simply kicks butt. The game day audio feature is the coolest thing ever. I don't know what these people are talking about. There are still two games for free every day.

When this app first came out, I wrote a scathing review. I couldn't get Gameday Audio (it never worked), but shortly thereafter they got all the bugs worked out and this is review is replacing my previous one. This is simply my favorite iPhone app. If you're into baseball (or even just your home team) I can't imagine that you wouldn't feel that this app is more than worth the price.

How come no one reads the description? You don't get every game video for $10. You get one or two as a BONUS (App was originally $10 with NO VIDEO). The audio is great! The video is great (especially over wifi)! As a satisfied MLB.tv subscriber (different, folks, than the app!) I love yet another bonus AT NO ADDITIONAL COST (App + MLB.tv subscription already purchased) in every game live video. Generous, in my opinion. As to battery- has nothing to do with MLB. iPhone limitation. As to blackouts- MLB can't break it's local market blackouts. It's out of their hands, at least until they renegotiate their contracts with every single local market. Several local providers (Yankees) are now offering games over the Internet for local cable subscribers (do some research folks). Thanks for a great product MLB. Go Rockies! Glad I get to catch all the games here in Hawaii!

This app was built by people who obviously love both baseball and the iPhone. Free upgrade to streaming video broadcasts? Who does that? Apparently MLB. On my fairly regular 240 mile round trips across upstate New York, I experience 2 dropouts for perhaps 30 seconds each. I find that remarkable. Hook it up to my Prius' audio system and it sounds better than radio.

I wish we could get more up-to-date scores and same with the pitching and htting in the gameday view. Great app, lacking in many areas. Also audio issues. Would pay more if app was faster to update and I could listen in... My friend was smart and got it for $5... Hope to see updates soon!! :)

MLB.com At Bat 2009 offers similar features (like box score) to many other apps, including Sportstacular and SportsTap. However, At Bat also gives the user the chance to listen live to any game in progress, as well as follow the game live in the Gamecast, with the former feature alone being well worth the (relatively) cheap price of $9.99. Apps such as WunderRadio are not permitted to broadcast MLB game's play-by-play, something I've always found frustrating, but one battle at a time. The app does, admittedly, have a few bugs, such as the constant crashing when you press the "Back" button, but I am sure they will be dealt with, since the MLB has nothing to gain from frustrating their fans. All in all, this app is a must for any baseball fan, no matter the price.

...but apparently not in practice. Perhaps version 1.1 will be a tad bit better, but until then, save your money. To put it in perspective, I've had my iPhone for a little over a year now. In that time, I've had to reset the phone 2 times total (both were reception/network related). Since I've had this app installed (for 4 days now), I've had to reset my iPhone 7 times. For some reason, it likes to lose connection to the games as you're listening to them, and then not recover. Subsequent attempts to load the application result in hanging and or immediate crashes.

In spite of numerous requests to fix the bugs, they still live (such as the application exiting when going back).

Amazing, just downloaded this app last night, and tested out the audio, perfect. Crystal clear on my ipod touch using wifi. The sound is a little low, but hooked up to my speakers to amp up the sound takes care of that. Totally worth the $10. Definitely buy.

I have an Ipod 1st Gen, and with the Update, I can FINALLY stream live games. By far the best Sports App Out there. 5 STARS

Jaxson, go to settings and you can adjust those settings. I particularly appreciate the fact that there is not a blackout restriction on this app. I would like to see video in a future version too. Great value for the price, I was expecting it to be more expensive.

Looks like MLB is giving two games again! And one game is my Braves. I've seen some amazing quality over my wii connection, so I'm guessing the people with bad quality have bad connections. A must buy for any baseball fan! The only question that remains is should I spring for MLB.tv?

This app is awesome if you want to keep up with a team no where near where you are. Red Sox fan in Georgia? Great! Giants fan in Missouri? Go for it?

Once I updated, I lost the ability to watch TV games. Now they want up to $70 / yr to watch games. Give me a break. I won't be purchasing MLB in 2010. Keep version 1.2 and enjoy.
