How do I set up live score notifications for my favorite team in the MLB app?
Open the app, go to the 'Settings' or 'Notifications' section, and select your team (like the Braves) from the 'Follow Teams' list. You can then enable alerts for game starts, scores, and key plays, which arrive promptly without delays.
Can I use the MLB app to find concession stands at a specific ballpark?
Yes, the app includes an interactive ballpark map that shows nearby concessions, restrooms, and entrances for your section. For example, at Truist Park, you can quickly locate the closest beer stand before a game.
Why does the MLB app drain my battery when running in the background?
The app continues to refresh live scores and notifications even when minimized, which can drain battery over time. To fix this, fully close the app from your recent apps list when you're not actively checking it.
What should I do if I accidentally buy something from the MLB Shop in the app?
You can cancel the order by contacting MLB Shop customer service within 30 minutes of purchase, as long as it hasn't shipped yet. To avoid accidental buys, enable purchase confirmation prompts in your device's app settings.
How does the MLB app compare to ESPN or other sports apps for following a single team?
The MLB app offers more reliable, official real-time scores and notifications directly from Major League Baseball, with no delays like some third-party apps. It also includes team-specific news and ballpark maps, but ESPN may have broader sports coverage if you follow multiple leagues.
