It's here it's here! Today is opening day for the Major League Baseball season and fans everywhere are getting ready for a great season (hopefully).

Keep reading to make sure you have all the best baseball apps to carry you through the season.

Baseball Apps and Media for your BlackBerry Smartphone

MLB.com At Bat 2012

MLB.com At Bat

The go-to app for baseball fans, MLB.com At Bat 2012 was a bit late out of the gate. While only the hardcore fans may opt for the purchase (it rings in at $14.99 again) it gives you the best experience there is with full news, scores, standings alerts and more. This is my pick for the must have baseball app this year (and pretty much every other year).

I am a MLB.tv Premium subscriber and I am not paying $14.99 for At Bat 2012 when iPhone and Android get it for free.

rickkel Apr 5, 2012 at 12:31 pm

Are you kidding me? this app on iPhone and Android is free and they sock BlackBerry users with a $14.99 fee? This makes no sense. Why isn't it just 99 cents for everyone?

From what I understand the 'free' version is like the old 'Lite' version...with less features. The one in App World is a full featured App, hence the price tag. Before getting upset when things are not free or more expensive on BB, look to why that is.. odds are the 'other guys' either have ads, or in this case it's not full featured..if you want that on iOS or Android I think I saw a $15 price...

The Lite version is FREE and when you sign to your MLB.TV Premium account it gives you all the same as the At Bat Full version, the reason why there is a $14.99 and Free is for MLB.TV users and non users.

The website says that if you are a subscriber you can log into the lite app and get all the features of the paid app. Im guessing the paid app is a sort of in between from the lite app and a full on subscription.

But read the apps website because i was there a couple of days ago and thats what it said.

Can anyone help with this question:

Why isn't the At-Bat app free for premium MLB.tv subscribers when it's free on Android and iOS?

FSeverino Apr 5, 2012 at 1:35 pm

ThE apps website says you can get the lite version and log into it with your subscription info to access all data/features

m00rb Apr 5, 2012 at 1:46 pm

There is no lite version on App World. What URL did you see that on?

FSeverino Apr 5, 2012 at 2:52 pm

Sadly i own an iphone so idk whats in the app world.

I sideloaded the android app for my PB and when i went to the app site

http://mlb.mlb.com/mobile/atbat/

it says:

MLB.TV Premium subscribers receive At Bat 12 for free

MLB.TV Premium subscribers get At Bat 12 for free. Download At Bat Lite for Android to receive At Bat 12 for free.

I figured if it was for android and iOS it would be the same for BB... that seems like just another developer screwing over BB users :(

Score Mobile is the only way to go. Lets Go Dodgers

MLB is excellent - I just downloaded it and I love it. Highly recommened if you love baseball!

dmann96 Apr 5, 2012 at 12:45 pm

How about an app that I can actually listen to the games on?

koool1 Apr 5, 2012 at 2:21 pm

MLB does that! All games are on it. Check it out.

tumblingdice03 Apr 5, 2012 at 4:05 pm

Dmann96, you can listen to the games on this app,you just can't watch the game.

I miss my team... Road Trip to Toronto this summer for sure! If you're from there, look for a Montreal Expos Guerrero jersey

Adam I'm starting to believe that you're a mets fan. You are allright in my book if that's the case. Now you just need to cross over and become a Giants fan and we can be buddies, ha.

Adam Zeis Apr 5, 2012 at 12:52 pm

How did you deduce I was a Mets fan? :)

And FTR I'm already a Giants fan too :)

El Platanero Apr 5, 2012 at 1:15 pm

And all this time I pegged you as a Jets fan. My apologies. You're a man of good taste my friend.
