This app is a steal at $9.99.

My only complaint is the volume is a little low.

I've had no problem getting home and away broadcasts.

I love being able to listen to Vin Scully and John Sterling every day.
 
Go Cubs!

I just bought this app a few minutes ago, haven't been able to check it out during a game yet. Will likely try to listen to the White Sox, Tigers game while I am at work tomorrow. I can also turn on the Game Day Audio while watching White Sox games so I don't have to listen to the Hawk anymore (I would gladly pay $100 for that). I had the At Bat Light version throughout 2009 spring training and enjoyed it, so the price is no concern to me as an avid baseball fan. I think $9.99 is a steal for an app that lasts for an entire season as well as the post-season and likely pre-season for 2010. I get the scores of every MLB game at a moments glance. I guess I will either be really impressed or somewhat disapointed with the Game Day Audio. Anybody see Reed Johnson rob Prince Fielder of a Grand Slam on Easter? That was awesome! The look on Prince's face was priceless.

Go Cubs!
Go White Sox! (but not as much as the Cubs)
 
Stats Galore!

You can get individual player stats for the season, at bat stats, fielding stats probably so much more. I am hugely impressed with this. I hope the videos stay up for at least a month after each game. This application has probably saved me money from having to buy a newspaper everyday on my way to work (checking stats, standings). After playing around with it for a few minutes this changes everything. I can show people highlights that may have missed the game. Very, very impressed, even if the Game Day audio doesn't work that well, very awesome.

I listened to Pat and Ron for the entire game on Saturday. No problems with the audio at all. There was significant battery drain though(i did have the volume all the way up though), so maybe keep a charger with you at work, if possible. I noticed last night they updated the app as well. It is really awesome to have all the stats, standings, and highlights right there in the app. I love it. And yeah, Reed Johnson's catch on Sunday night was indeed awesome. My brother and i were going crazy when he snagged that ball.
 
This would be a killer app if it included archives of Gameday Audio, so those of us who don't live in North America could listen to games without having to tune in at 2 in the morning. :cool:
 
I downloaded this app and it is awesome. I love being able to listen to my favorite team's radio broadcast no matter where I am. It's definitely worth the money I paid for it.
 
I like this app. It still has some bugs though. You see the highlights and at the end of the video is freezes for like 1o seconds. It's kind of odd. And also there is no refresh button in the boxscores. A little annoying.

Other than that it's great.
 
How is the battery drain?
Do you always get you choice of broadcasts (home or away team)?

It does eat up quite a bit of battery. I've listened to 7+ innings at once, with a full battery, and probably had 1/4th to 1/2 left after.

There was issues with getting both home and away broadcasts during the first week. Ever since then i've been able to get whichever broadcast i want.
 
Update

So I gave in and purchased this app. I went to the Giants game last night (AT&T has full coverage at the stadium), and streamed the game.

A quick set of review factoids from my first experience:

1 - Both audio feeds were available, home and away.
2 - Audio was only available right before 1st pitch, so no pre-game audio can be heard.
3 - Despite pefrect signal strength, the game did drop out a couple of times and when it did it took a bit to come back in.
4 - The clairty was perfect, just like a strong raido broadcast.
5 - The game delays is about 15 seconds, which was a bit annoying for watching the game live. It was always a play / pitch behind what was happening. TV and Radio at most have 5-7 second delays.
6 - The battery drain (screen off, just streaming radio) is very signifigant. My phone had a full charge in the morning, was not used all day, and was down to 10% or less battery after a very short game (2 hours, 8 minutes). A long game, or some phone use durring the day is going to mean a dead phone before the end of a game.

6.a - Subpoint to the battery drain, was the fact that you don't get the warning messages if you are not looking at the screen. As I just steamed the audio, I had no idea until late that my phone was set to die.

Otherwise, nice app. Ideally it could be improved by:

1 - improving battery drain
2 - improving connection to the audio, or quickly reconnecting after a drop
3 - allowing for more pre-game audio (even if its the 15 minute pregame show, as opposed to the KNBR pregame show).
 
Awesome! Where are they though? I just looked

Ok i just got the condensed games notice! This is so awesome!

Hard to believe this app just got even better!

Thank you MLB! Super excited about this! The replays alone were great, now with the condensed games this gets my vote for best app ever.
 
They are starting to stream games live too (video I mean). Not very many games to choose from but it is still pretty cool.
 
The Expos became the Washington Nationals like 5 years ago.

A joke's not funny if you have to explain it to the humourless, but: we are fans of the Expos who lament their move. Therefore, we get snarky when 35 years of baseball history are ignored and also long for a time when "Nos Amours" (a fond nickname for the team) would have been on said app. Understand now?

Back on topic: Love the new streaming video. It worked great for me on the bus ride home Friday!
 
Two points:

1: I'm not humourless. I saw "california" by the poster's name, not Montreal, Quebec or Canada. Thanks for the generalization tho, I'm sure everyone here appreciates being put down for no f***ing reason, right? Seems to be what this site is all about!

2: They get better attendance on an off night as the Nationals than they did in Montreal so feel as snarky as you want. Montreal could still have a baseball team if anyone had cared.

As for point one, I apologize -- I did not intend to "put you down." The original poster (regarding the Expos) does have Montreal as his location at this moment. Whether that's changed since you read it, I don't know. In any case, I thought his sarcasm (and implied disgust at the Expos' relocation) came through.

[Edit: Ah, I see -- you were saying you saw "California" in regards to a much later post in which the writer seems to ask what the Expos were. I saw both his and your replies in the context of belittling Expos fans by denying their previous existence. Like I said in an earlier post, we get snarky. Sorry. If the California poster was serious, however, he obviously DID miss the joke, which was clarified in later posts.]

Regarding point two, I think this thread indicates plenty of people cared --at least three made supportive posts. Regarding the attendance problems, it's a chicken/egg comparison as to whether the team moved because attendance was dropping or attendance dropped because the team was moving (much too complicated to get into here). The Nationals' place in the attendance rankings (13th of 16th in 2008) are comparable to where the Expos were in the late '80s/early '90s before the relocation threat became real and far below the early '80s when the Expos steadily finished in the top five. In fact, in actual real numbers: the 2008 Nats-2,320,400 in baseballs highest overall attendance year. The 1983 Expos-2,320,651.

[Everyone, sorry for veering this thread off topic.]

Attendance calculation? There's an app for that. :)
 
wish it was cheaper :mad:

Dude do you reallize what you get with this its worth the 9.99 it techinichally should be more its 14.99 for the audio if you get it on ur pc and you get to watch two games probally more after the allstar break so stop whining and being a cheap skate:rolleyes:
 
The recent update added the ability for MLB.TV subscribers to stream live video of any out-of-market game. :D
