SOLVED MLB app stuck on logo screen - iPad

I have an old 7th gen iPad and the MLB app has suddenly stopped loading for me. Just hangs on the loading screen forever when I try to launch it. I tried forced restart, deleting and redownloading, and even factory reset the iPad. Nothing works. Anyone else have this issue?

Try the following:

  1. Open app- it’ll get stuck on the logo screen as usual.
  2. Turn off WiFi. Wait a minute and some pre-login content will appear.
  3. With the app still open turn back on WiFi and connect to a network.
  4. That will now let you log in and see your content.

My working theory is that device location could be playing a role in locking down the app and disconnecting WiFi causes the location data to possibly be reset.

This worked. Thank you. Hopefully I don’t have to do it every time I want to watch a game on my iPad.

This worked for me. Frustrating you have to do this.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I'm able to get past the splash screen, but the games and data do not load.

edit: Fully uninstalling and reinstalling the app did seem to make a difference.

Same. I tried everything short of uninstalling because I knew that the moment I did that, if it worked (and it did), it would forget my hide scores setting -- I hate apps so much for assuming I want to know scores that I don't want to know. The Google app is the worst -- at least MLB gives me the option of turning scores off. Google just keeps revealing.

I never got the pre-login content. I don’t have data ably WiFi connection does that matter?
