MASN Reviews

by DCProud

MASN started out being merely poorly designed, never opening in landscape mode like other apps, forcing users to authenticate each time they open MASN and forcing you to guess which of their two live channels the game you wanted to see is on. Today this app has just decided to not even streaming their programs; MASN is only showing nonstop commercials. It reflects the attitude of this app majority owner Peter Angelos, who as owner of the Baltimore Orioles keeps shafting the Nationals TV broadcasts (often relegating them to this app 2 for no apparent reason) even though the Nationals consistently get better ratings. My advice: Don’t get MASN . Buy the network. Almost anyone could run it better than these jokers.

Where’s support for Comcast/Xfinity? Yes, we all know they have a regional sports network too. But inside Baltimore city, where the Orioles reside, Comcast is the only option. It’s also the major option outside the city. So you’re cutting off a huge portion of the Orioles fan base from streaming your games. I mean, it’s not like we pay for your channel anyway through our cable bill, is it?

by Profwiggles

Useless, pointless app. Requires a cable subscription in the age of cord cutting, and doesn’t even have the major providers. I’d have gladly paid $5-$10 a month to watch the Os as a subscription to MASN, but the cable restriction makes it totally worthless. Greedy garbage with no concept of how people consume media now.

Why have an app that doesn’t provide at minimum all the content found on the website? I expected to at least find all the articles about the Nationals and Orioles found on the website but none are to be found. Only short video archives are present.

I use MASN on my AppleTV. I generally want to go straight to watching the current game, yet this takes multiple clicks and waits to get to the video. WHY? Why do I needlessly need to pick a team when MASN loads? Maybe MASN could remember my choice?

The people in charge of MASN have clearly never even used it.

I found out, very rudely, on opening day that I was no longer able to watch this app with my Dish subscription, so after 13 years of service I canceled Dish and started Fios. Now I still can’t stream games on MASN with Verizon? Do you want me to not be able to watch the Orioles, because it’s seems like your making it pretty hard to watch a game this year!

Hire an app developer, please. Last week, I was able to stream live games, now I can’t, on either my iPhone or my Apple TV. It’s not enough to be able to do it once— an app has to keep working for it to be worthwhile. A competent app developer could easily fix this issue so it would would like…. Well, like basically every other app out there. Please, do better.

Once you get logged in…which is an arcane practice, MASN freezes sooo often. MASN on my phone won’t open at all…and I’ve downloaded the updates. I was going to review and say please stop making people have a cs let service to use MASN …but why bother, MASN doesn’t work.

As I feared, MASN does not appear to allow me to access Nats or O’s broadcasts since the list of TV Providers does not include any major cable companies. I have a subscription to MLB @ Bat, so I watch my favorite teams when I am outside the local area. It seems like quite a problem that I need to be actually connected to my TV to see these two teams if I am anywhere in the DMV.

App won't play this app 2 on Apple TV. Commercials way too loud. Have to wait through multiple ads before baseball game will load. App crashes often, on multiple devices. Have to keep signing in to use. Huge lag, probably close to 2 minutes, between actual game and when MASN broadcasts it. MLB app tells me what the crucial plays are long before they are broadcast via MASN. Hate it. Obviously cheaply done, like everything else associated with this app. Also hate how this app refuses to send its broadcasters on the road with the teams, really crippling their ability to call and analyze the game. Much better nowadays to listen to the games on the radio for the accurate play by play.

First of all, MASN crashes within a few seconds of opening. You can’t even stream the games without having cable, which hardly anyone does nowadays. this app as a whole is causing me and many other nationals fans to turn to illegal streaming websites to watch games. I wish I could support the Nats, but this app makes that extremely difficult. I hope the Nats front office soon parts ways with this terrible company.

Not sure where to being. You have to watch an unnecessary amount of commercials before you can watch a live game. Once you’re finally watching you are way behind the action, and not the normal few seconds that comes with streaming on most platforms but a solid minute+ behind. The game volume is also a ridiculous amount lower than the commercial volume. I have to re enter my tv provider information EVERY. TIME.

Everything about this is just bad

by Mrspray

The only reason MASN gets more than 1 star is because it eventually works. Between having to login to my TV provider every single day, watch at least a dozen commercials before actually getting to watch a game, and being at LEAST 5 minutes behind the live game, this is overly frustrating to use. Once it actually tunes in, it’s usually ok, but it is a mediocre product (at best) from a mediocre network. Welcome to 2010!

I'm now able to login successfully using my FIOS credentials, so upping my rating from one to two stars. Holding back on an improved rating until: Comcast and other major TV services are added and AirPlay is an option. Screen mirroring is a lesser solution for slinging to my Apple TV, but will have to do for now.

by Nasus35

MASN is an absolute battery killer. I thought there was something wrong with my iPad because the battery routinely drains down to only 10 percent well before the end of the game! But I don’t have that problem watching games streamed on MLB TV or when streaming anything else over a long period of time. In addition, the lag behind live action is often as much as 5 minutes. Y’all need to put some serious work into fixing MASN.

by Boxingfan82

For right now MASN is trash. It gets two stars because I can still watch post and pre game interviews or listen to the podcast. The trash part comes with the fact that I can’t stream the actual games is arcane. At some point they have to add Xfinity. I’m 15 so I have to rely on my parents. My mom has Dish but is unwilling to drop it and my dad has Xfinity. I personally don’t blame him for not dropping with Xfinity because NBC Sports and almost everything else has it. Why not the this app app? Once it’s added, obviously my review and opinion will change. Until then MASN will pretty much waste space on my phone.

by Meetmym16

Greedy greedy this app refuses to spend real money and try to make things work. Bring your channel to other services so we don’t have to rely on your crap app. So sad. And if you have it up don’t close it during the game because it will just continually crash as you try to get back in.

by CaptainBubbleBeard88

Now that they’ve finally added Verizon FiOS, I can actually watch games on MASN . Taking off 1 star because of the delay on getting FiOS added to MASN . Also, ran into some problems authenticating my FiOS account on MASN . Not sure if it was a this app problem or a FiOS problem. Either way, it’s now fixed and working fine. They update it with videos regularly and there really aren’t any glitches.

Unfortunately, if you have Xfinity like the majority of the Greater Baltimore Area, MASN still doesn’t have Xfinity support, so you won’t be able to watch the games on your phone/tablet. This is as of 5/4/21.

by Ugcjgvkjhbhb

Hey can you please add xfinity that all I what do I can watch the games and I love how I can see the pre and post interviews just add that

by Gizzard187

We don’t have cable, only some streaming services. Looks like this app is still using outdated policies & practices. You need a cable subscription to watch the Orioles. Oh well, that’s their loss. I’ll find a new team.

by Cheesychucky17

Only supports four cable companies, not including big ones such as Comcast

by Donotusedoordash

I have Fios, but it’s not even an option to use it to stream. this app is terrible at everything.

by 4EverIndebtedToHim

As an Atlantic Broadband (ABB) subscriber, I am NOT authorized to watch any live games. Why? Four providers are offered including ABB. I login with my credentials to WATCH LIVE and I get the NOT AUTHORIZED message. For me, MASN is useless.

by JohnAmatoV

Has ANYONE heard of the supported cable providers besides DirectTV? Is this a joke? Leave it to this app to find amazingly creative ways to screw something SO SIMPLE up.

by Salty Orioles Fan

Dear Mr. Angelos,
Please sell the team to Cal and maybe the Os can finally move to a respectable RSN like NBC Sports Washington. MASN is straight up bad, the network in general is atrocious and the fans deserve better.
Thank You

by Shampto1

MASN was advertised for so long and then thrown together with out full support. It has limited providers and is in essence useless.

by Ebyers59

Absolutely ridiculous that xfinity customers can’t watch live games. Just more disappointment from this app.

by Golfer123987456

Useless. Hard to tell what’s worse the Orioles on field product, this app, or the this app app. Why have an app if it can’t stream from the largest cable company in the area or provide a payment plan to stream itself?

by Nats-2019

Tried to watch some games and FIOS is not even listed to be able to log in. Just cable companies I never heard of. MASN is junk.

by T-Barnes22

this app has a small selection if streaming partners as an option. I don’t have any of these services as an option except Direct TV which is more costly than my current provider. I am surprised this app doesn’t have other options to stream this app sports teams. This renders MASN useless.

by PancakesGo

MASN is terrible. I logged in with my cable provider (I have this app in my cable package) and I get an error that says “You are not authorized to view this content.” What do I need to view Live TV? There is also no Apple TV version of MASN and their is no AirPlay option to put it on my TV.

This is ridiculous with this app especially with dropping provides such as DISH. MASN is the only way to watch Nationals/Orioles games in the Mid-Atlantic region with the MLB blackouts and MASN doesn’t even work. At least let cord cutters pay a subscription fee.

by Misterfootball

I enjoy MASN for all of my Orioles needs!

by Mlbfanman

Watched orioles and nats play live in HD on this app / MASN2. Great video and audio quality.
