Yahoo Sports is bringing its focus on Major League Baseball (MLB) live-streams to its rebuilt mobile app with a host of new features.

As part of its latest update, the completely redesigned app now features a personalized live-streaming guide that helps you find and connect to services that are broadcasting MLB games. Additionally, Yahoo Sports will let you watch selected game-of-the-day broadcasts during the current MLB season live on your iOS or Android device.

Now, when you open the app, you will see a “Watch” button alongside games with streaming options on the “Schedule” page. Select the game you want to watch and you will be directed to its details page, where you will find a “Watch Now” button that tells you where it is being streamed. Yahoo claims that the app manages the complex rights and blackout restrictions to only show you live-streaming options that are available to you. Additionally, for mobile streaming fans, if a game is labelled as “Live on Yahoo” that means you can watch it directly on the game details page. It’s not just baseball fans who get a piece of the live-streaming action, Yahoo is also currently streaming four NHL games per week, which are available to view on the app.

Aside from visual content, Yahoo Sports offers news and updates from all the major sporting leagues. Sports fans can customize their app experience by selecting their favorite teams, and can receive notifications and updates. The app also offers exclusive content from popular Yahoo Sports columnists such as Adrian Wojnarowski, Dan Wetzel, and Pat Forde.

“We are excited to say that the days of scouring the internet to find where your live sports are streaming are a thing of the past,” states Parker Emmott, Director, Product Management at Yahoo, in a Tumblr post. “Starting today with MLB, our completely redesigned Yahoo Sports app now features a guide to find and stream live baseball games.”

Despite going through a major transition as a result of its recent acquisition by Verizon, Yahoo remains intent on refreshing its products in an effort to keep up with its rivals. Like other web giants such as Twitter and Facebook, Yahoo has stepped up its live-streaming game this year — first by acquiring the live-streaming rights to 180 MLB games, and then by launching a free Hulu streaming service in the form of Yahoo View.

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
