The MLB At Bat app, the official app for Major League Baseball, has been given a major update, with two headline new features.
The first is DVR-style functionality …
MLB.TV Live Rewind – control your MLB.TV stream with DVR-like features. Pause and Resume, scrub to past action, watch with a delay, or jump back to live at any time.
The second is a choice of audio streams.
Alternate Audio – Listen to your favorite radio announcers while watching both live and archived MLB.TV streams, or cut the commentary completely and listen to the natural sounds of the game and ballpark with the Park Audio option. You can access these audio overlay options via the TV icon at the top right of any MLB.TV stream.
The company says that these were two highly-requested features driven by customer feedback through the app.
We’re always working on implementing and improving new features such as these. Your feedback is an important part of that process. Please send us your thoughts via the customer service form in the app.
The update has four minor changes too.
- Addressed an issue where At Bat Premium status may not have been properly reflected for a brief period of time after launching the app, potentially causing ads to be displayed intermittently
- Addressed an issue with Game Recap content for Spanish-language users
- Addressed an issue with some Gameday elements on iPad Pro devices
- Additional behind-the-scenes improvements for Apple Watch
