### 5/5 — Gimmme more money

*2026-08-19, version 6.22.1*

Give me more money im hingry

### 5/5 — Good App

*2026-08-19, version 6.22.1*

App works well, the promos with it are amazing! Landed some good breaks, great community and great customer service. Would highly recommend

### 5/5 — BEST THING EVER

*2026-08-18, version 6.22.1*

read the title again

### 5/5 — Great App, Few Bugs

*2026-08-18, version 6.22.1*

Really been enjoying Fanatics Live, great interface and interactive tools. There’s a few bugs such as giveaway entries not registering and sound playing even with sound switched off but all fixable. Looking forward to what else Fanatics brings to the hobby.

### 1/5 — Try something else

*2026-08-18, version 6.22.1*

Not fun, not addictive, no real rewards auction off spots that barely get filled and a lot of people just sitting around not to mention that you have reward money that you can barely use or rarely get reward codes

### 2/5 — Password Reset Glitches

*2026-08-18, version 6.22.1*

When logging in and out of the account the app tends to put you through a password reset loop making it impossible to regain access back into the account.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-16*

I’ve spent some money on the app and the same day my account gets locked. I can’t login or anything so now I don’t know whether my orders are coming or if I’m going to be entered into any of the buyers giveaways I paid for. Thanks Fanatics 👍🏻🎉

Also I reached out to you guys 3 days ago about my account being locked. I’ve not been able to log on since. I’ve heard nothing back… get your terrible app together or it’s all going to fall apart 🫠

**Developer response:** Hi there! It’s concerning to hear about your account being locked, especially after your recent purchases. If you still need assistance, please reach out to socialsupport@collectfanatics.com with the details, and be sure to refer to your app review in the email. We appreciate your patience and truly value your feedback as we work to improve our support process. We hope you can access your account soon to enjoy the features you paid for. Fanatics Support.

### 1/5 — Customer service is non existent

*2026-08-15, version 6.22.1*

I have been dealing with an account issue where my account was deactivated without any warning despite the terms and service stating it would give 3 strikes/emails, there is no phone number to contact so email is the only option, my account was deactivated while I had slabs in my vault as well and was deactivated July 2nd and as of now still have only gotten “we will escalate your case” emails back. And it is august 15th so 43 days roughly.

### 1/5 — Fanatics has given up on their own app

*2026-08-15, version 6.22.1*

There is no sorting of the sports so there is absolutely no chance that you will find the sport you are interested in getting cards in. This is much worse after the most recent update. There are hardly any team breaks left on this app. Pick your player breaks dominate — if you want a good experience buying into breaks go somewhere else

### 5/5 — FANATICS

*2026-08-13, version 6.22.1*

Great app
