  1. 2/5A buck short and day late

    The app is usually behind other news source and can be confusing for team feeds. It’s not uncommon to have to dig through wordy report to get to the port that has something to do with your team’s place within the multiple team rumors that are supposedly written and placed into your team feed. The general new for all other teams are also old news. Another issue is feature-based. Once you read an article the feed pictures gray out to show the you have already read the article. Nifty; however, the same article will reset and become active every time someone adds a comment or response to the article. The comments are pro writers- just fans, of which none possess real information. My advice to the app developers: get real writer and get the information quickly. When Yahoo and Bing and other site beat the “Rumor” site to the punch, it makes me just go to the other sites instead of this aggregated news site.

  2. 5/5My go-to for baseball and football news

    Don’t let the name fool you. The app is more than rumors. There’s a team of sports news bulldogs here that are on top of every transaction with real life and fantasy news implications, meaning I don’t have to use ESPN or any other app to catch up. The site is even more expansive, with live chats and in-depth articles on the save view, but from a tech standpoint, the MLBTR app loads quickly, looks good, and seems bug-free. I’m happy to be a paid subscriber. Totally worth recognizing their hard work.

  3. 5/5Very best baseball and hockey news source

    The depth of the articles provides details nobody else offers: contract details, player histories, and other context. MLBTR has been my favorite sports news app since I started using it. I subscribed as well. The affiliated podcast is usually worthwhile though inconsistent. The regular host brings nothing to the table, but the interviews with a primary owner, I think it's Tony, are always great! I disagree adamantly with the negative comments a few have made. Keep up the good work here. Oh, and for blind fans who use screen reader technology, MLBTR is the ONLY sports app that is 100 percent accessible and complies with standards for web content accessibility! Thanks for the inclusive design!

  4. 5/5Comprehensive and intelligent

    I know this can only be so helpful if a review since it'll end up being vague, but they're writing and analysis is excellent. Especially the writing. Wish I could name a name or cite a piece but can't off the top of my head. I'm there for baseball only, so not sure about the rest. For context I read fangraphs and MLBTR, but don't play fantasy so it's not like I'm a total head. It's really a great site. The app is....fine? No complaints, but nothing dazzling though I wouldn't know a good app when I saw one. Just here for the content.

  5. 5/5Great source for the little details

    I enjoy the app and use it constantly during the season, and two/three times a week in the off season. I mainly follow my teams but occasionally wander off into other teams if a name or headline grab my attention. The articles are well written, and always provide accurate information. They are also short enough to hold my attention and I never get bogged down in them. It is well researched, well sourced, and a pleasure to read. I cannot imagine what they might do to improve it, and I hope the don’t try. It is wonderful as it is right now. Mike Brown
