User Comments

• “I’ve been playing for several days now and I can say it’s worth buying. Even if you don’t know much about baseball, you can still enjoy it—though it is a bit difficult. It’s really entertaining, and even though it’s in English, it’s easy to understand with a basic elementary-school level.”
• “The app is good, but it’s missing something: the players can’t seem to hit the ball. I keep swinging and it never lands. Also, when I set a lineup and the ball slips past opponents, it doesn’t work properly. It even calls balls out when they aren’t, flags them as strikes instead of balls, and when I hit it out, the stadium says it’s a foul.”
• “It’s a good app, but I hope an update adds Spanish for people in Latin America.”
