one (or two) complaints
It's Flash -- not the video plugin, but that app junk, you know? One thing that tees me off is that, when you want landscape, it always goes one way, which ends up putting the volume buttons on the BOTTOM. That means, if you put it in a holder or something, you're likely to start changing the volume without noticing it. It should be able to switch orientation if you want (or need) the volume buttons on TOP. It won't.
But NBC got to write one crappy app for all platforms. Maybe that's good enough for a three-week app, of course.
Aside from that, no real complaints. It's not quite working yet, since nothing's happening in the stadiums.
Oh, and I agree. No Airplay? Thanks, Comcast-owned NBC.

I actually bought the MLB app early this year. I paid the $100 or so, so I could get video of "ALL" games. It wasn't too restrictive last year. But now, I've never been able to watch my home team on it! Never! Since Fox is the broadcaster, they broadcast every game, and so, apparently, every Dodger game is blocked, because they're all on Fox Sports West. Well, if I were HOME, I wouldn't be trying to catch a minute of the game at work. Since I can get every Dodger game on TV -- home or away -- then when I have access to my TV, I can turn that on. But MLB Baseball, which I watched games on last year, has become unusable except for radio -- but I paid for TV. Sure, I can watch Boston v. the Yankees, but I'm not interested in it very much. I want to see home teams. But I can't watch home, and I can't watch away games either. So when I just want to grab a look at how it's going, I get that annoying little map, and "it has been determined that" I'm a jerk, move along, I don't care how much you spent, a major broadcast tycoon trumps what you want. I think it was sold to me, in effect, fraudulently. I bought it for casual watching -- the World Series with SF I watched on the treadmill -- and I paid a bundle, and I'm not getting any of what I wanted.
