### 1/5 — Worst app ever created

*2025-06-19, version 4.1.0*

This is literally the worst app ever created, every time they update it it makes it worse, dunno who they’re paying to make this but they should be in jail

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-06-11, version 4.0.0*

This app is genuinely trash. They update it and make it worse. Each update there is 20 new bugs and the old bugs are still there. Fix your app AFL

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-09, version 4.0.0*

Might possibly be the worst app to navigate nothing loads, have to close app to make anything refresh, just terrible not one positive, big step back from last app

### 1/5 — Buggy mcbugface

*2025-06-07, version 4.0.0*

I was excited to see a new interface within the app but that exciting quickly went down when I saw that the match centre had been infiltrated by an army of bugs.

Now live player scores don’t take into account your custom rules. The bug that would always move the match up back to your own match up when trying to look at others now exists in the match centre page moving it back to the first game of the round when looking at live scores.

Did anyone consider testing prior to putting an update out or were you pushed to hit an imaginary deadline that does no one any favours and ruins the experience for your players?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-07, version 4.0.0*

I do not understand how you can make this app so bad. I don’t think you could do a worse job. The latest update seemed to screw it up even more. Glitchy & not user friendly. Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-07, version 4.0.0*

Updating my review again after the most recently released app update. 

Good: player ownership history, match stats accessible from team page, gold locks removed from team page. 

Bad: bugs in matchup page. VC score displayed as doubled despite captain’s match not having occurred yet. Clunky loading. Issues with live scores not displaying, or with a lag. Emergency scores are greyed out and not readable. I don’t understand why all these changes to the scoring/matchup page were made with this new update, it was working well before this. Please fix these problems. Halfway through the season and the app is still riddled with issues. 

 Updating my review after round 2. So many issues with this app.

Issues:
-Captain scores are only presented as the doubled total for your own team. Other teams only have the raw score. Also the score box for captain and vice captain is only coloured in yellow/blue for your own team. Stupid to have inconsistency like this. 
-Player profiles accessed when selected in ‘matchup’ screen provide different information tabs to the profiles that are accessed from the ‘team’ screen. Why is this inconsistent? Makes no sense. 
-Selected emergencies are not appearing. As commissioner I have had to resort to asking my league members to screen shot their selected teams - laughable. 
-Still no custom scoring fields/details available. Match statistics should be detailed and readily available and reflect the customisation that we have PAID for. 
-Still laggy when moving between matchups within league. 
-Unclear whether emergency has been added to my team score or not in the case of low % on ground of one of my starting players. 
-No field/info displaying how many players for each team have played (e.g. 7/12 played) - this is important for keeping track of the matchup and a basic requirement for a good fantasy platform. 
-Screen often loads to a different matchup to the one in the heading. 
-So many gold padlocks everywhere - get rid of them. 
-Not possible to see who is captain/vice captain or emergencies for each team when viewing in compact view (no player photos). 
-Ladder has such poor UX for phone screen - font and columns too big to be able to see all the information that is needed. 

Seems like an absolute rush job from the AFL to get this app ready for the start of the season. Please fix the many issues so that this app is actually usable.
I imagine many people will move onto other platforms next season if these major issues aren’t rectified urgently.

### 1/5 — Worse

*2025-06-05, version 4.0.0*

Somehow the update made it worse 😂😂

### 1/5 — Fix the ladder page!

*2025-06-05, version 4.0.0*

Why is the ladder page so zoomed in? Give me a condensed version which allows me to see whatever info I need without having to swipe up and down or right to left a massive amount. When swiping left or right the names disappear as well which means you can’t tell who is who anyway

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-05, version 4.0.0*

You gotta appreciate the idiots behind this app , just when you think it couldn’t get any worse , it does.

### 1/5 — New “bug fix”

*2025-06-04, version 4.0.0*

New bug fix created more bugs - eg can’t see player details in matchup mode

### 1/5 — Horrible app redesign

*2025-06-04, version 4.0.0*

The old app was easy to use and was fine. This new app is so busy, unintuitive and takes up too much space. You used to be able to view your whole team on the screen at once, but now they have made everything so big you constantly have to scroll and click around to use it. Garbage app design trying to do something new for no reason.

### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2025-05-27, version 3.5.1*

How do I leave half a star

### 1/5 — 🤬

*2025-05-19, version 3.5.1*

Hard to believe we’re halfway through the season and the app still doesn’t work properly. The mind boggles at just how bad these guys (that’s you, app creators) are at their job

### 1/5 — Horrible experience

*2025-05-15, version 3.5.1*

Moving off this app. Has gone backwards and has made me hate this experience

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-05-15, version 3.5.1*

This app has more bugs than a porch light on a summers evening.

### 1/5 — Unbelievably bad

*2025-05-11, version 3.5.1*

Developers - please fix the back feature. When I hit back in the app from a fixture/game view it takes me back to the homepage. 

Also can’t view other peoples teams it just refreshes over it with my own team. 

You guys have absolutely cooked this hahahaha

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-05-01, version 3.5.1*

If I could give zero stars I would

### 1/5 — Booted from league , help goes to nothing screen

*2025-05-01, version 3.5.1*

This is by far the worst of the normally average apps from AFL. Just flat out booted from league while trying to make changes, when clicking on help button it goes to a nothing screen. Just making basic substitutions doesn’t work. At least revert back to last years version

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-24, version 5.1.1*

App is so bad I have fallen out of interest with Fantasy Draft after avidly, actively managing a team for 3 years. 700 1 star reviews and it has not gotten any better. Developers incompetence or they just don’t care.

### 1/5 — Not easy

*2025-08-22, version 5.1.1*

Made the grand final and can’t see scores. Me and the boys will be using SuperCoach next year

### 1/5 — Absolute Trash

*2025-08-07, version 5.1.1*

This app needs some work 
0 Star

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-08-07, version 5.1.1*

Horrible app. Don’t understand why they had to make it a stand alone. Crashed all the time. Horrible to navigate. Just poor all round

### 1/5 — What were they thinking

*2025-08-07, version 5.1.1*

Wow, just wow. Every change on this ap has made things less functional, and clunky. An another update - what is going to be worse this time? If I could give this review 0 stars I would.

### 1/5 — Piss poor, not shocked

*2025-07-31, version 5.1.0*

This app is borderline offensive. Just like the afl, it’s poorly run & makes you angry you like it

### 1/5 — Worst app of all time

*2025-07-31, version 5.1.0*

Read caption

### 1/5 — 0

*2025-07-25, version 5.0.0*

Genuinely wish I could give 0. No responsiveness and incredibly glitchy

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2025-07-08, version 4.2.0*

Terrible app. Keeper is way better

### 1/5 — The worst

*2025-06-21, version 4.1.0*

The absolute worst. Impossible to track scores as 24 hours after the game the player scores are not even listed. A pretty crucial part of the app to get right.

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-08-04, version 5.1.0*

The app is super buggy, sometimes it takes forever to load, other times random features just stop working. I also do not like how the TOG% feature was unable to be changed for emergencies

### 5/5 — Great additions

*2025-02-28, version 2.1.0*

Great app and regular updates that are focused on a better experience for the fantasy fan.

### 5/5 — Drafting a breeze!

*2025-02-11, version 2.0.1*

Draft Board is a game changer! Easy to use. Draft is my favourite way to play against my mates. Get on board the new updated game that has been rebuilt.

### 2/5 — Buggy as hell

*2025-07-14, version 4.2.0*

Generally an improvement over the previous app, missing some features over the old draft app like offering a player to the league. Also why is there no function to chat to draft mates? Additionally every time they update the app there is like 5 new bugs…. Just recently I’m now unable to update the waiver priority?

### 2/5 — So Buggy

*2025-03-23, version 3.3.0*

So buggy atm. Points for aren’t correct for me on the ladder. Below my actual score. Probably because of the bug where my captain score didnt double. Disappointing app after what was promised.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2025-03-23, version 3.3.0*

Okay at best. I was excited for an app purely dedicated to draft, but this one is harder to use, which is even more annoying since the classic app still has the old format (which I prefer way more). A few small fixes could be made for functionality, but you can’t polish a turd. Change it back

### 2/5 — Do you ever test these apps with people who actually use them??

*2025-02-04, version 1.0*

Good that you’ve added some features, but please test the apps on actual users before you release them. Within 1 minute of use the glaring issue of not being able to see more than two players at a time whilst drafting is evident. Why is the draft board not able to be minimised, or on a separate tab? I need to see the players left to draft a lot more than who other teams have picked. Please fix it.
