### 1/5 — This may just be the worst App ever.

*2025-12-02, version 7.38*

I wish I could give 0 stars. Matthew Berry and fantasy life completely destroyed this app. I am sure they do not care. Before he bought out this from Paul, this app and website was phenomenal. I cannot wait to switch all our leagues to Sleeper.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-11-23, version 7.38*

This app is not user friendly, rarely fully functional, and slow. Group is excited to switch to literally any other platform next year.

### 1/5 — Worst fantasy app ever

*2025-11-23, version 7.38*

App isn’t online with game time.   Games will
Be over with no updated scoring for players on roster.   App is pure trash.  Won’t be using this for any leagues going forward.

### 1/5 — Terrible app would give 0 stars if I could

*2025-11-20, version 7.38*

Terrible app would give 0 stars if I could… app rarely loads constant errors. Can’t withdraw my money.. will never use this app again after this year is over.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-17, version 7.37*

This app is awful. Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — UI issues everywhere

*2025-11-12, version 7.37*

This app is a nightmare to work with. The rare times it actually loads out correctly, you still have to get through the unintuitive interface. This coupled with a total lack of visibility on what is happening in your league regarding waivers and standings leaves this app DOA. Thankfully sleeper has this format now and I can cut bait on this atrocity next year. We actually moved a league halfway through the draft because of how poor the interface is.

### 1/5 — Worst fantasy app out there

*2025-11-11, version 7.37*

Absolutely the worst fantasy app out there. Use sleeper for better quality

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-11-11, version 7.37*

Let me tell you about this app. I gave it a 1 star bcuz I can’t give it a -10. 
I can not understand how this app is so bad. From a technical standpoint, it crashes constantly. And I can’t even tell you how many network error warnings I’ve got. Waivers get pushed back all the time bcuz of technical issues. It drops players that you didn’t select to drop when doing waivers. 
Then from the user side…they don’t give you any info on players injury status. You have to use other sites to find out if guys were practicing or not. There’s literally no info on anyone. 
When looking at FA’s on the wire, it’s automatically sorted by their projections for the week. You can’t filter based on yearly totals, per game averages, nothing. It’s ridiculous. 
In years past, you could see all the bids on players when waivers run. Now you can’t. You just see who got the guy, how much they spent, and who they dropped. You have no way of seeing who was the next highest bid or what teams were making bids on guys, nothing. So you end up over bidding on everyone you want bcuz you have no idea what the market is like. It’s so lame. 
At this point, they should go back to writing out your whole league on a sheet of paper, scan into a computer, and email it to everyone in the league. It would be way more user friendly.

### 1/5 — Hot Garbage

*2025-11-09, version 7.36*

I pray every week that I lose and get chopped in my fantasy league just so I never have to open this app again

### 1/5 — Can’t even get my roster to load.

*2025-11-06, version 7.36*

Seen varied issues with the app over the past few months including inability to make start/sit selections, at this point the app just spins its wheels and refuses to open my league info.

### 1/5 — How could it be this bad

*2025-11-04, version 7.36*

It is truly unbelievable how horrible this app is. I feel like you have to try to make it this un-user friendly, clunky, and jumbled. I understand not having the fanciest and latest & greatest in features, but my god they couldn’t even nail basic stuff.

### 1/5 — Awful Platform

*2025-11-02, version 7.36*

If I could give negative stars I would. I have played Guillotine format for 4 years and I would consider it the best fantasy format that exists. This year, new ownership took over and it is unplayable. They do not care about the customer. The bugs on the app are unbelievable. Waivers sometimes run, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes you can edit your lineup, sometimes you can’t. There are no free pickups so if injuries happen late in the week you are left helpless. There is no sorting options to view players. The website/app crash regularly. It’s genuinely really sad to see the fall from graces since new ownership took over. 

I am a lifelong fan of this platform, I will never play on this app after my experience this year. New ownership should be ashamed. 

If you are considering playing, I’ll save you the trouble, don’t. Find a different way to play, this app is a waste of time, effort and money and will only leave you frustrated.

### 1/5 — Terrible !

*2025-11-02, version 7.36*

Nothing but issues.  It’s Saturday night now and I can’t access the app to put in a lineup.  I’m still in it but probably won’t be unless it is fixed.  Was so much better when that charchian guy ran it

### 1/5 — Takes forever

*2026-08-25, version 8.0.4*

I joined a free league just to try it out and I’m four days into the draft and have made four picks. Not defaulting users to autodraft after they miss multiple picks is crazy. I realize it’s a free league but come on. The FantasyLife website is glitchy as heck too. I’m out on all of their platforms.

### 1/5 — This app is trash

*2026-08-23, version 8.0.4*

You can’t see player names only 1st letter. And they put the draft button right next to it so very easily draft wrong person.
Ever since Matthew Berry took over this app has gone down hill.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-07-28, version 8.0.2*

Does not work. Go play on Sleeper. Save yourselves.

### 1/5 — The worst

*2026-02-09, version 7.43*

If it was 2010, this would be the worst app ever made. Unfathomable
It’s been two years of refunding players due the inoperable app.  Why are you still trying

### 1/5 — Fab Bids

*2026-01-28, version 7.42*

Good luck especially if you're out of fab and your opponent is as well. Letting the app decide is going to be very fair. They won't give your opponent 5 straight bids before it cycle over to you in the last round. We have a nail biter now. Woooooo!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-01-18, version 7.42*

Worst app I’ve ever used by far. Ruined fantasy playoffs & soured the season experience.

### 1/5 — Unbelievable they have money leagues for this app

*2026-01-14, version 7.42*

Devs deserve things that can’t be said in reviews. You have PAID leagues and the app is insanely bad.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-01-12, version 7.42*

How is it even possible to make an app this bad? Is Matthew Berry writing it himself? Pulled the latest update on Friday, haven’t been able to load my team or league all weekend. It’s somehow getting worse.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-06, version 7.40*

Super slow won’t allow me to do anything

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-12-23, version 7.39*

Terrible app. So inconsistent and not user friendly. After the season I will be deleting and will never use again.

### 5/5 — Brand New App is a Huge Improvement

*2026-08-11, version 8.0.2*

So much better than last year. Lobby, drafts, roster pages all look clean and load fast.

### 5/5 — So Much Better

*2026-07-27, version 8.0.2*

New updates have the app much improved from last year. Everything looks much better and my first couple of drafts went off without an issue. Can’t wait for the season to start!

### 5/5 — Much improved

*2026-07-27, version 8.0.2*

The new launch of this app is cleaner and more functional. Went through multiple drafts with no hiccups already. Can’t wait for the season!

### 5/5 — The most exciting form of fantasy football!

*2026-07-27, version 8.0.2*

When I first started playing Guillotine Leagues a few years back, it truly became my favorite format to play over just one season. I was skeptical that I wouldn’t like the non-H2H format, but playing against your entire league every week and the sweat that came with that was honestly incredible. 

I will also say, the new update is the best the app has been in years! Everything in the pre-draft process is looking great. I’ve set up leagues myself and even done a couple drafts, and everything seems to be working as it should. 

Excited to see the improved app in season as well!

### 5/5 — Great work

*2026-07-22, version 8.0.2*

Great work by the Guillotine league team. The app looks great for this season.

### 5/5 — 2026 updates

*2026-07-16, version 8.0.2*

The updates they made this year seem solid so far. Did a public draft on the first day it was released without any issues. Hope the original GL is back in its former glory.

### 5/5 — Rebuild was rough, but best app even with warts

*2025-11-23, version 7.38*

Best GL app even with the early season bugs. 
Original GL company and gets better every week.

### 5/5 — Best app by far

*2025-09-18*

This app is great. Does it have issues every week? Yes, but don’t we all? Are the waivers messed up all the time? Yes, but aren’t we all a little messed up? SWE

### 5/5 — Continued Improvement

*2025-09-05*

Everyday there is improvement on the platform. Excited to see where they take things. I love the format and this is the originator

### 5/5 — Completely reworked to perfection

*2025-09-05*

The concept was awesome and now the app is too!! So easy now to invite my friends and draft. Really user friendly & great to use! This redesign / revamped app for 2025 is finally world class! 5 stars
