  1. [R2] MiLB 5/5 · US Nice, game: I love to see these young guys trying so hard. They have a dream. Luis Lara just went to the majors. He did good.
  2. [R5] MiLB 5/5 · US 😄👍: Greenjackets.i can’t see them anywhere else
  3. [R8] MiLB 4/5 · US Dark Mode option + Apple TV App: Please allow a Dark Mode option. The white background hurts my eyes. Also please make a stand alone MILB Apple TV app. That would be awesome.
  4. [R9] MiLB 3/5 · US Not as good as MLB app: The app is decent but it has flaws and is missing some important functionality. The biggest problem is that the playback of games stops if you close the app. There is no minimized window for the video so you have to stay in the app. The app is also missing the “hide scores” setting toggle that the MLB app has. Finally, there is no archived audio and live video is limited to
  5. [R1] MiLB 1/5 · US Can’t get my season tickets: On our way to the game and now the app keeps saying something went wrong so we won’t have our season tickets
  6. [R4] MiLB 1/5 · US A complete dumpster fire: EDIT: Given the dozens of recent one-star reviews citing the same problem, I see that my experience IS typical. The latest update to the app was four days ago. Why release anything else when this core functionality is so broken? I’m irate now, but I would have gone nuclear if I waited until I got to the ballpark tonight and encountered this steaming pile of an app. PLEASE
  7. [R7] MiLB 1/5 · US Can't Sign In: Continually unable to authenticate my account information, requiring me to create a new password every time I try to login.
  8. [R13] MiLB 1/5 · US Terrible interface: The system is co fused with MLB and I can never access my tickets this way. Almost not worth going.
  9. [R19] MiLB 1/5 · US Not user friendly: Every time you try to get in the app you have to have a code sent to you. Should be set up so that it remembers the user.
  10. [R21] MiLB 3/5 · US App update: The update has made the app worse. It’s not as personalized and is just sad.
  11. [R17] MiLB 5/5 · US Thanks: Played college football and up to HS baseball but have always been a baseball fan. Thank you for keeping it free and of high quality. Godspeed always
  12. [R28] MiLB 1/5 · US Ads non stop: I can’t even look at stats without a pop up ad every 10 seconds..
  13. [R29] MiLB 5/5 · US Baseball for baseball's sake: I'm a longtime MLB fan that has been feeling like I've lost my baseball home, for whatever reason. Watching MiLB lately has felt refreshing and like baseball again.
  14. [R48] MiLB 1/5 · US Credit Card Info!: Why do you require my cc when registration is free? No explanation = no cc info.
  15. [R23] MiLB 4/5 · US Apple TV: Please make an Apple TV app. I can’t get the games to airplay to my Apple TV or Samsung TV
  16. [R24] MiLB 3/5 · US Great minor league app but needs a lot of work: Can we get an AppleTv app already! 1. Landscape support for the app for iPad. 2. Quad screen or at least PIP for games for iPad.
  17. [R16] MiLB 1/5 · US Issue with accessing tickets: I can’t access my tickets. The app is very slow when pulling up the tickets. It doesn’t matter if I’m on cellular data or WiFi.
  18. [R37] MiLB 1/5 · US Impossible to access tickets easily: How is it in 2026 it's so difficult to access tickets within an app? There's many steps to access the tickets and even then, the app is buggy and I'm not able to access my team at times.
  19. [R63] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Stop: Stop asking me to review your app.
  20. [R70] CBS Sports 1/5 · US No more “review” requests please: I use the app a lot and everytime I open it up I’m being asked if I like the app. I give it 5 stars…then get the question again the next time I open it up. Makes me consider using another source as my sports go to.
  21. [R75] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Pop ups: Please stop sending a pop up to rate cbs everytime I click into the app
  22. [R88] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Annoying: App asks for a review every time. Umm, OK, stop doing that.
  23. [R61] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Bad Update: The new update makes the app look like social media, not an app that actually has articles with sports stories along with the scores
  24. [R72] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Update disaster: Could you at least make a setting to allow to view homepage in the old list style? Feels like a lot more scrolling to get similar content, many more videos (there’s a watch tab for that), everything is a large thumbnail that isn’t necessary and takes away from the app.
  25. [R76] CBS Sports 1/5 · US New update: This was my favorite sports app, and the only one i would use, until about two weeks ago when they updated it and now it’s just all videos. They used to have headlines which you would click on and read the story and they got rid of that.
  26. [R102] CBS Sports 1/5 · US New update is a nightmare: I loved the CBS Sports app. Great scoreboard and the news feed was always dialed. New update destroyed the formerly great news feed. Suddenly it is video and AI slop everywhere you look. I’ll be looking for a new go to sports score app if it’s not fixed. Hire a designer!
