Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not hearing the "Ball"/"Strike" callouts or the mitt pop.
Check that your phone's physical ring/silent switch is set to ring, and that media volume is turned up. Ump Eye plays sound through the same channel as music and videos, not through the separate ringer volume. Settings also shows whether audio loaded correctly on your device.

I'm not feeling any vibration when the ball arrives.
Haptics are silenced by Low Power Mode and by the system Vibration setting (Settings → Sounds & Haptics on your phone) — check both are on. Haptics also don't work in Xcode's iOS Simulator; that only affects developers testing the app, not real devices.

How does scoring/strictness/the strike zone work?
See the in-app rules explainer (shown the first time you play) and the Settings screen, which lets you choose difficulty, strictness, and zone rules (including MLB's Automated Ball-Strike system). Your accuracy history is available from the accuracy stat in the top bar.

Versus mode won't connect, or my match seems stuck.
Versus needs an internet connection for both players for the whole match. If your connection drops mid-match, reopening the app will try to reconnect automatically. If a match still won't proceed, leave the match and start a new one from the lobby.

How do I turn off / manage ads?
Ump Eye is ad-supported. You can review your ad privacy choices at any time from Settings → Ad Privacy Options.

I have a different problem, or a feature request.
Email us — see above. Please include your iPhone model and iOS version if you're reporting a bug, and screenshots if helpful.
