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 …

The second is a choice of audio streams.

The company says that these were two highly-requested features driven by customer feedback through 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
