### 4/5 — Go-to fantasy app

*2026-08-28, version 7.3.0*

Easy to use, has almost all the same functionality as the desktop version. Thank goodness they junked that lousy new logo.

### 1/5 — Removed Mock Drafts on App

*2026-08-24, version 7.2.4*

The new app update removed the mock draft feature on the fantasy football league. With it being right in the middle of fantasy football draft prep season, this makes the app almost useless for draft prep.

### 2/5 — Can’t mock/practice draft on this version

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.4*

I like the new look of the app, however the mock draft feature is gone and can only be accessed on the desktop version. We have had a league for over 12 years now but this may make us go to the ESPN fantasy league. Please tell me that feature will be brought back!

### 1/5 — Horrendous Redesign

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.4*

App for fantasy football is barely usable.  There is so much garbage on the screen something simple like changing your lineup is a tedious chore.  Huge Fail

### 1/5 — App no longer connects to my fantasy teams

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.4*

The apps updated to just generic fantasy advice, which is really good, but it no longer gives me access to my team giving it one star until I figure out how to get back what we had last season

### 1/5 — Hate the new app, where are the mock drafts

*2026-08-21, version 7.2.4*

Hate the new app, can’t understand why you would take away mock drafts from the app, makes no sense

### 1/5 — Poor Update

*2026-08-20, version 7.2.4*

This update was so much not needed. Now you have to go to the website version to do most of your work. Trade block was totally removed and the new version is difficult to use. Over 20 + years of use, I find it very unnecessary to do a major update.

### 1/5 — worthless

*2026-08-18, version 7.2.3*

expensive, broken, awful customer service, ugly confusing interface

### 1/5 — No mock drafts?

*2026-08-17, version 7.2.3*

Having to go to the web browser for a mock draft is beyond stupid

### 1/5 — If it aint broke, dont fix it

*2026-08-16, version 7.2.3*

My league has been on CBS since 2005 and we love how simple and unchanged it’s been. We were all used to it and then out of nowhere comes an unexpected UI update. The old version was awesome and why we stayed on it so long. Bring it back. We like no player images next to names in roster. We like the black (or white) and blue scheme. It’s was perfect before this is just unnecessary and looks worse. we wont pay 150 per season to play on what looks and feels like ESPN Pro.

### 2/5 — Don’t love the update

*2026-08-15, version 7.2.3*

Flashy new update, less user friendly, it’s not easy to check the other matchups of your league mates. It doesn’t seem very functional for managing my team in season other than to set the lineup. I’ll probably be stuck using the website until I can talk the commish into switching platforms.

### 2/5 — New update stinks

*2026-08-15, version 7.2.3*

The latest update is horrible. It looks like a high school kid did it 20 years ago. Any no mock draft anymore?

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE update

*2026-08-14, version 7.2.3*

The old format for CBS fantasy used to be the best available. So much so that my yearly league PAID for our league $130 every year. They just pushed a new look, layout in 2026 and it’s horrible. We will dump this next year if it doesn’t go back the way it was. Now it’s just the same as all the other free platforms. Terrible decision.

### 2/5 — Ads ads and more Ads

*2026-08-14, version 7.2.2*

We pay over $100 a year to use this app for our dynasty Fantasy Football league. Yet CBS thinks it’s OK to have advertising take up a third of the all the time. Corporate greed!!

### 1/5 — $150 and we get ads

*2026-08-14, version 7.2.2*

25 years with CBS.  We pay $150 a year to stay there….and now we are destroyed with rotating ads that completely ruin the experience.   $150 is fine, but with ads?   No no no.   Will be recommending to our league to move platforms after this year.

### 1/5 — Opening Day ‘26

*2026-08-14, version 7.2.2*

Don’t bother. Update ruined app. Just go to regular site.

Update 8/13/26: app is worse. Doesn’t load properly. Entire sub menus inaccessible. 

Been with cbs fantasy baseball for 23 years and I have no time for this app.

### 1/5 — New App is Awful

*2026-08-11, version 7.2.1*

This new app is terrible. Go back to the old version ASAP.

### 1/5 — what happen?

*2026-08-09, version 7.2.0*

Back in 2008 cbs was ahead of its time. but theyve barely put in any effort since then. the new update to the app is pure garbage. nobody can figure anything out. We are paying $180 for this garbage. Fix it

### 1/5 — This is just insane

*2026-08-08, version 7.2.0*

Picture this, just some random person trying to just a little fantasy football league with his friends. ESPN was a little complicated so I looked somewhere else. And look! It’s CBS. “The news channel”. I download and go to create a league. Oh my god. $150 FOR ONE MEASLY FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I think I’ll stick with ESPN.

### 1/5 — Experience Destroyed

*2026-09-03, version 7.3.2*

It’s unfortunate whomever was hired to improve the app achieved the poorest level of execution possible. The new CBS Sports app has a very poor UI and wasn’t developed with the user in mind.

### 1/5 — No mock drafts

*2026-09-02, version 7.3.1*

Worst app in fantasy sports, and no mock drafts available on the app, absolutely horrible. This interface is a complete mess especially compared to NFL, Yahoo and Espn fantasy apps.

### 1/5 — New app sucks

*2026-09-01, version 7.3.0*

Bring back the old layout. Can’t find anything on this app? Where is the league home??

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2026-09-01, version 7.3.0*

The new update is hot garbage! We have used CBS for fantasy football for over 20 years and it was both simple to use and also extremely detailed. Not anymore. Why would they change it? Bring back the old app!!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-28, version 7.3.0*

The new layout of the app is absolutely atrocious. I wish I can use the words I really want to use

### 1/5 — No Mock Draft In App

*2026-08-27, version 7.3.0*

We have to go to the website to do a mock draft.  Why?!

### 1/5 — Bad Update

*2026-08-26, version 7.2.4*

This new update shot for style over functionality and failed at both. Apparently they corrected the daily stats for baseball but not football. Why?  Apparently they removed optimize roster. Why?  It is a pain to see both weekly games and it is not projecting scores. Why?  Overall, you ruined a perfectly good app by giving it to a designer intern.

### 1/5 — Today’s to do list

*2026-08-25, version 7.2.4*

Delete this app

### 1/5 — Paying for membership but still plastering ads that block your view

*2026-08-25, version 7.2.4*

This app is terrible!  They keep updating it. Every time they update it more and more ads are plastered all over the screen where we need to click etc.  We are paying to use their league but are forced to use this app that is plagued with ads! Would rather use a free league than stay with cbs!!

### 1/5 — New App update lacking.

*2026-08-24, version 7.2.4*

Hate this new update. 
It’s horrible. Less functional, and content is very generic as opposed to last version.

### 5/5 — Fantasy sports

*2026-08-30, version 7.3.0*

Love to play fantasy football

### 5/5 — Mock draft

*2026-08-04, version 7.2.0*

Since the update haven’t found a way to run mock drafts through the app. Is there a way or did they just stop doing that . Incredibly frustrating after the host on the podcast keep beefing about it . I’ll keep the review a 5 star for now

### 5/5 — 1st Time Rating

*2026-05-06, version 7.0.6*

Overall Show is fantastic, Scott, Chris and are GREAT along with the HOST. EVERYONE does an excellent Job! Have listened to 3 or 4 BB podcasts in the last 6 + yrs…some will know platforms. The last 3/4 yrs all CBS. Made playoffs  the last 4 years in our 14 team league and won last year. Wish you guys could cover FB too.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-03-30, version 7.0.4*

The old app was honestly rough. The new one isn’t perfect, but it’s a huge step in the right direction. The ads are still brutal, and they really need to bring back team totals on the Scoring page, but everything else feels better, navigation makes more sense, the visuals are cleaner, the data is easier to read, and the player pages are really good. It also feels a lot faster overall.

Glad to see CBS has finally entered the 21st century.

### 5/5 — Commish of 20 year league

*2026-03-26, version 7.0.4*

Absolutely horrible update, maybe the worst update of any app that I have used.  The live scoreboard is the worst part of the worst update ever. Bring back the old app NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Keepers League Auction Values

*2026-03-07, version 6.20.11*

My keeper league has some interesting rules.  Standard cbs roto (2C, CI, MI etc), 14 teams with 13 keepers. We allow a player to be “kept” through 2 league drafts by adding $3 to their salary. For example, since he was a $1 player last year, I get to protect Ben Rice for $4 this year.  I really like the rules but because they’re are so many bargains (Skenes would be protected for final time at $6 as an example), it tends to push up the value of stars. Players like Ohtani and Witt tend to go between $70-$80. How would treat keeper values ($) in leagues with rules like this.

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2026-03-01, version 7.0.0*

I love the fantasy baseball today podcast, guys all do an amazing job deeply diving into player pool and answering questions. However, I have been truly frustrated by the new update to the app, not a fan of it at all. Leaving the 5* because I love the pod and hoping the app issues are resolved soon, but it is getting very frustrating.

### 5/5 — New version of ap

*2026-02-25, version 7.0.0*

They need an “all players” view when looking at free agents.

### 5/5 — One of the best fantasy apps

*2026-02-21, version 7.0.0*

Great update to the app!

### 5/5 — Great update

*2026-02-20, version 7.0.0*

Great app!
