Stats don’t work
If you want a stats app without stats, here ya go
Used to Love But Can’t Close Video Ads
Love fangraphs and loved how convenient this app was but recently they have switched to video ads and the UI for these ads puts the exit button out of reach on my phone(or it just doesn’t work) so every time one of these ads pop up I have to exit the app. But when I reload the app and select a new article or search a player it all happens again! Hope this gets fixed because I loved using this app.

Its ok
The app looks good and its great for a quick stat lookup.
Reasons why I dont use it:
1. It still has its hiccups. For example, i opened the app and clicked on two prospects articles (mariners & padres), but i couldnt get to the content, i could only read Eric’s bio
2. I appreciate the thought of the “quick” tab, but i never actually want it, so to land on it every time and have to tap over to stats is mildy annoying
3. I desperately want the stat control settings to be saved to my preferences. This might be the biggest reason i skip the app. I dont want to have to toggle plate discipline on every time
Overall, the app just doesnt have the functionality that need so i prefer the mobile site, but i do appreciate that it exists and i expect it will be quite good down the road

Great website. Unusable App
Don’t mind advertising- but when you can’t click the X because it’s half off the screen under the battery icon, it’s largely unusable.
Great app but one suggestion…
Great app version of the excellent FanGraphs website. I do have one request for the developers though — a handy cheat sheet of the FanGraphs Library so we can easily access FanGraphs analysis and explanation of essential sabermetric statistics in the app.
“Can’t Verify Account” error message and NO support option
There is no way to reach the developer about this (or any other) bug. Fix this please!
FINALLY!! What Took You So Long?!!
I have been waiting and waiting for a Fangraphs app for years, and now it is finally a reality. What a relief! Thank you! So glad to have this content in an app rather than on the web. However, it does need a bit of fine tuning. For one thing, the size of the articles and charts need to be adjusted a bit better to fit the size of the screens of iOS devices - particularly iPhones. Secondly, a key feature is missing: **the glossary!!** I don’t see it anywhere - and it is a must! (the stats and their parameters are really well explained!). So please add that to the app - or, if it is actually there and I have somehow overlooked it, please give it a tab, button or visible heading that makes it easier to find! That is all for now, but again, what a relief to have Fangraphs as an app, finally!!!

No reason to use this
Website has more and no ads that interrupt you. App is a total waste of time, and they should consider removing it from the App Store.
Thanks for adding articles to the app!
Now please let us comment on the articles on the app please!
They added the articles!
I have really liked this app ever since I downloaded it a few months ago, but I have been bewildered as to why they did not integrate more of the website features to the app. I have been an ad-free member for a couple of years now. The best of the website features have now been added to the app, and instantly this app has become one of the top five apps on my devices. Thank you, FanGraphs!
