Sound effects all play
When turning off sound effects they all play loudly back to back with no way to stop them. I will update my rating when this is fixed.
Pales in Comparison to other Fantasy Apps
Out of all the applications I have used to play fantasy, the ESPN Fantasy App is the most lackluster and dysfunctional app as of date. The user interface is not aesthetically pleasing to view and the overall user interface lacks basic fluidity. The widget does not update properly during matches, player “alerts” are not consistent (I have to download a separate app to maintain live player updates during games), navigating within a league is robust in all the wrong categories, and it fails to make transitioning from live games, player content, and fantasy owner lineups fluid. That is only highlighting a few glaring issues. A lot of users have complained and added their reviews, but it appears that this app is set on clinging to its view of functionality. Popular opinion and user satisfaction is definitively overruled by ESPN Fantasy developers. Just take a look at the latest responses from ESPN Fantasy.

Great App: Easy to Fix nagging Weakness
I’ve been using the web app / iPhone app since the beginning and have been patiently awaiting a fix for two limitations that have plagued us as commissioners.
1.) Why is it that I can change owners and DELETE THE WHOLE LEAGUE, but I can’t approve trades in the app? This is frustrating as it is the most time sensitive activity I use and most frequently used.
2.) What is the point of a keeper system that doesn’t let you have keepers in pre set rounds other than your first two picks? The developers have done an amazing job in a very complex draft pick trading and player trades, but this one missing feature recurs every year and makes our league consider flea flicker / yahoo.
Hate to look a gift horse; the app gets better every year, but I can’t complain if I never bring it up.

Fantasy football
You really really need to add half point ppr to fantasy football, it’s the best way to play fantasy football by far, all the other sites have it, you only have full ppr and standard
Horrible
Let me start by saying it wouldn’t be hard to make this App great, but the problem must be the developers just don’t listen. First of all the Mock Drafts have to many Mocks Drafts that no one uses, I don’t know one person in a 8 player draft, the majority of leagues are 12 player PPR Snake drafts, unfortunately it is extremely hard to get into one because they fill up so quickly. By far the worst thing wrong with ESPN fantasy football is the lack of being able to put a keeper in any round but the first round. Example, I am in a league where you could keep 1 player drafted after the 7th round, problem is you can only do keepers in the 1st round. There is no reason the league manager should not be able to remove players prior to our draft and insert them on the team prior to the draft. Hopefully they listen someday.

No support for League Managers
Great app for most players...unless you’re a league manager. Barely offers anything for management in the app. Therefore, you have to log on to the actual website to adjust any league settings. Ok...I can do that...except when I log onto the website with it iPad or iPhone and log into the Fantasy side to adjust my league settings it automatically opens the app on the device. Only way around this is to DELETE the app on the device, then login to the website and make changes to the league. They either need to make the website not automatically push me into the app or allow access to make all changes allowed in the website through the app.

There’s no way to communicate with other players!
This is the first review I’ve ever left in my life, just because this is so frustrating. If I want to make a trade there is zero way to just ask them hey who do you want for this guy? You don’t know who they value, who they want, where they want to upgrade so you’re left just sending random players/proposals. I tried attaching comments in a trade proposal only to find out that they don’t show up in the app or the email. If you try to post a message on the “talk smack” board, it doesn’t notify/alert or even put a little icon saying that someone posts something, so nobody ever checks it. I try to send a message directly to the person to talk smack, they get no notification. I post on the league message board, same thing. Unless you specifically go in and look at it, there’s no way to even know anything is there. I’m just trying to find a way to communicate with the other owners just to start a Facebook message or group but nobody even knows those messages are there. It looks like the default option for receive email is off too, because I had to toggle mine on, so I can’t even get a message to my commissioner. Talk about frustrating.

Fragile website
Your website is fragile and temperamental. I can’t log in today and sometimes it takes 10 minutes to acknowledge I have an account.
The app has similar slow log on issues. I run a league of 10 people and we will be using a different provider next year.

Streak for the cash needs improvement
My dad and I have both had problems with making picks we don't want. When we are scrolling through the list of picks, one of our tap&drag actions on the screen will actually select a pick. I'm pretty sure when this happens, the animation to turn the pick yellow doesn't happen, or maybe it happens off screen because we are scrolling down the list. We weren't trying to select it, we were just trying to scroll. I'd really like it if this was fixed.
Other than that, the app is pretty good. During fantasy football season it was a bit annoying that the app would load to streak for the cash and I would have to wait for the "loading picks" to finish before I could switch to the fantasy football portion and update my lineup. A bit stressful when it's 1 minute to kickoff and you want to make a change to your roster before the lineup locks.
Other than that, pretty good app.

Terrific Application
Well written, full of functionality, gets the job done when on the move. Particularly like ability to draft on the road while away from home.
Well done ESPN!
