Hi listers, I have the at bat application, and it also keeps closing for me. Interestingly, I have found a workaround. If you click on the audio stream you want, and it starts playing, you can then click the hide button. Next, click back, so that you get into the main screen of the at bat app. You can then listen to the audio stream as long as you want. I think the reason this may be happening is that, as the audio plays, there are updates to the game statistics. These are not accessible with voiceover on the audio screen, but it is meant to allow people to see them while they listen to the game. As these stats update, it seems to crash the app as voiceover is being used. I am guessing this is the case, because on some streams, the app crashes immediately upon the conclusion of every play. .
