Skill Review: Baseball Live

Baseball Live, courtesy of Major League Baseball and developed by Chris Schlitt, has been curated to update its passionate baseball fans. The voice skill is dedicated to detailing its avid users about the most up-to-date scores, real-time stats, team standings, etc. Designed with intelligible interactions, the voice app manages to adhere to its purpose in engaging its fans with alerts and by streaming stats of the game in action. Since the Major League Baseball highlights are anxiously awaited by an enthusiastic audience, this voice skill aims to live up to its expectations by satisfying eager hearts.

With Baseball Live, users can access information and receive updates concerning major league baseball teams such as the Yankees, Mets, the Phillies, and so on. Moreover, the briefings provided are truly accurate. Another remarkable highlight worthy of mention is the skill’s efficient guiding of the conversation thereby allowing its users an ease of convenience at most times. Well, with all the major positives aside, there seem to be a few downsides that could let down the user during the conversation. The more prominent letdown is the need to restart the skill each time while inquiring under a different category such as the line scores, team’s game, standings, and so forth. Another downer that made it to the list is that the conversation ends abruptly after providing the updates. The next obvious limitation is, the skill fails to offer an appealing welcome back experience to its returning users. Moreover, the absence of the “repeat” option mildly tones down the overall beneficial aspect of the skill. Besides, users will have to purchase the Pro Version to access a team briefing including the score of the game, the standings in the division/wild card, etc.

So why not try out the skill and wear the judge’s hat to determine if it offers the exciting experience you had anticipated.
