## Review summary

The MLB app is easy to use and performs well when functioning, with in-app streaming and customizable team news as key positives. However, repeated issues with blackouts, streaming reliability, login stability, post-update UI friction, and ads significantly degrade the experience for many users.

### Pros

- In-app streaming of games and MLB Network (audio available in-app for some users)
- Ability to customize and prioritize favorite team news
- Generally positive sentiment when the app works

### Cons

- Widespread blackouts and regional restrictions limiting access to many games
- Frequent streaming glitches, buffering, and long load times that interrupt viewing
- Login/sign-in issues and credentials not being recognized
- UI/UX problems after updates (overlays, gestures, and navigation not working as expected)
- Intrusive ads between games
