This app has gone down hill fast
Just like the title says, this app has gone downhill fast. Now this review does not come from using this for just one year. I have used this app and paid for the service over 5 to 6 years. Every year the paid subscription cost a little bit more and the app seems to be a little bit more buggy. I don’t see any improvements to the app from year to year other than roster updates and it seems like the software is only getting worse now this year, I paid for the service again and the app will not recognize my purchases. Which means I’m now paying for a service I cannot use and there’s no way to contact these people to get them to help. Don’t walk away from this app, run from it. I highly recommend not purchasing this app or any of it services.

Updates and greed have ruined App
Huge shame, I’ve bought this every year for the last 5 years and used to advertise it to all of my league mates. Seems they got greedy and updated to no monthly option, charging $50 per year is so ridiculous as most people only use the service for the draft itself (why even have an app SPECIFICALLY for the draft that requires a yearly subscription?!). Not to mention they screwed up the mobile accessibility and require a computer for ESPN leagues. The extra cost has not lead to ANY improvements sadly.
Crazy cash grab from a company I used to trust and thought was ahead of the game. Check Reddit for reviews and you will see the same. Used to be touted as the best FF asset on the market.
Save yourself $50 and use your own rankings.

Ok app..but keep options open.
I have used this app for several years at this point. To make things clear, I do like the app….but…issues are mounting year after year to the point where it’s time to consider different apps.
This years issue is importing your league setting specifically ESPN. You literally have to download an extension on your pc (chrome only) and log in through the site and sync. If you have any active antivirus or firewalls make sure to disable after install. Otherwise while you think the website is trying to sync with your league you are just sitting there waiting and nothing will ever happen. The app itself is useless to sync ESPN.
Previous years issues, app crashing in middle of draft. Syncing with updated player data (injuries, depth chart changes, trades) takes several days at times.
Year to year there seems to be a few more bugs. They should spend a little more time on the app quality.

Terrible
If you try to go through the website version of the page, you have to have Google Chrome installed to import your team’s settings. This is useless for an iPad user.
In the draft app itself, you can’t navigate the features as clicking on the buttons does nothing.
Trying to go “old school” and printing out cheat sheets doesn’t even give you one sheet! Even if you follow their specialized printing instructions, you end up with two sheets. Maybe some scissors and scotch tape can help in this regard.
I thought that maybe the app was designed for the iPhone, so I download the app there. But when I logged in, I saw draft data for last year’s draft.
Maybe I can salvage some of my investment with their articles, but overall a huge disappointment in functionality.
I would give one star, but I have read their content for free in their emails and don’t want to seem totally ungrateful for what they are trying to do.

Great tool
Great tool. Just find its glitchy at times and i can’t upload my league for some reason.
Brutally difficult to add an ESPN league - but customer support was great
I’ve been using Draft Dominator for 7 years and have the winning record in my league. I love it! I’m not sure what happened this year but I can’t load my league through the app but have to go to a computer, then use Chrome, then download the Football Guys Chrome extension. Are you for real? Well, I did all that. Now I’m there and it says to click on “the button below to refresh the page to login” to my provider but there isn’t a button below. I’ve got 24 hours to get this resolved in time for my draft. This is NOT a good experience this year!
edit - I was able to get set with my ESPN league in time for my draft. Customer support was quick to respond and very helpful. I’d give 3 stars due to the difficulty level this year, I should be able to do everything on the app and wasn’t, but the Football Guys haven’t let me down with a quality draft for years now and I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully next year will be much smoother and I’ll be back with a 5 star review.

Sad to give this review this season. Get it together Guys
I've been a loyal user of the Draft Dominator and League Dominator apps for many years, consistently achieving success and even winning my leagues with them. This year, I was fortunate to secure the 3rd overall pick, but unfortunately, Draft Dominator and the ESPN app didn't work together. Nevertheless, I had a fantastic draft on my own in a 12-man league, selecting Ja'Marr Chase at 3rd and Patrick Mahomes at 22nd.
The ongoing issue is that the ESPN app still isn't functioning, even just a week before kickoff. Looking ahead, the prospects for next season are uncertain because I initially purchased the Draft Dominator app for my iPhone (on autopay). However, I wanted to use it on my new iPad, so I ended up buying it again with the intention of using it specifically with the ESPN league apps information. So, I'm already down over $140, and sadly, I wasn’t able to start or complete a single draft.

Split Screen not supported for iPad ?
Can’t use the app in split screen mode on my iPad. Says it’s not supported. Also, my leagues have IR slots and this draft app can’t cope with that making things not as compatible as I’d like. When running a mock draft using my league settings it keeps suggesting positions I’ve already filled and would have zero chance of drafting. App seems less intuitive than previous years. One plus is their player news is updated well.

Unreliable
Right before my draft this app decided to not recognize my elite subscription and by the time this was corrected by the customer service team my draft came and went. Between the way over inflated price and terrible reliability, I’m out. What was once a great app, really fell apart fast and is not worth the price at all.
