Ruined the best fantasy app

You took a perfect fantasy platform and ruined it! The new platform is as bad as the original format was amazing.

I really wish you would reconsider brining it back. I’d pay the cost of the new garbage for the old platform.

New platform stinks

Old app was much better. New app doesn’t allow users to rank players. Force feeds you AI generated rankings. Not worth the money.

Monthly charge for the past 10 months?

For some reason I just found out I’ve been charged $20.12 for the past 10 months after using the app for 1 day. And on top of it the new app is more than 2x the price of the older better version. Stay far away from these criminals.

Bring back the old app

Please, please bring back the old app as an option. It was by far the best draft practice and day of draft app out there. I would gladly pay $30.00 for the app that I use only 1 month a year. Please consider an option where we can access the old app with updated player data. I did subscribe to the new Rotowire app last season. I gave it an honest chance. But I could not make it work. I ended up using the old rotowire app and just drafted from there. Had to arrange all my own rankings. I really like the way the rotowire staff rank players. It gives a big advantage on draft day. Please bring us an option for this next season.

Absolute garbage

Posting a second review to really drive home the fact that this new app is absolute garbage and ruined everything that was perfect about the original app. Truly a disappointment.

Football draft kit

RotoWire used to be a great fantasy football app. Who ever owns the company should fire all of his advertisers there because they are running this app into the ground. What was once a great app is now garbage. A money grab ruined the app. Do better.

Really stupid decision to change app

Why change something that was perfect. Terrible decision. Used your old style for years and loved it. Used the new one last August for my draft and it was awful. Never again. Not purchasing again unless they change it back. So dumb.

Hopefully they go back to original version

I see the baseball Rotowire draft guide was spared from this awful change we seen on the nfl fantasy app. Hopefully the Rotowire team learned from this mistake. Hopeful the original app is back for NFL 2026 season. I’ll gladly pay $15 for it.

Down hill/cash grab

I used their old app which was a one time purchase and helpful with keeping up with injuries and trades. You could also organize and rank players a lot easier . The new app is not only confusing but not helpful at all for the price or monthly subscription . I found free apps that were more useful. All good things must come to an end. Peace out!

New format is awful

Rotowire had the best app in all of fantasy. The new format is not user friendly at all. Please go back🙏

HARD PASS, this app is a JOKE!

This app is a trainwreck wrapped around terrible usability and fluke data. It crashes, lacks even the most basic fantasy features and somehow manages to make simple tasks feel impossible. It’s baffling how a supposed fantasy sports brand could release something this poor and still expect anyone to use it, let alone pay for advanced features. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

RotoWire fraud

Promises, promises! You don’t deliver!!.,

Not as promised

I wouldn’t buy this again. They have changed way too much and their tech team can’t deliver on what they promised. I have had to email support many times. They reply quickly but I feel like the issues aren’t ever truly resolved. Halfway through the fantasy regular season, there are still parts of the site that say “coming soon”. This is unacceptable for a paid subscription.

Disappointed

I've purchased your fantasy draft kit every season for as far back as I can remember as it was a tremendous draft kit, and this year I did it anyway, even not knowing what the update was going to bring. The update was nothing short of HORRENDOUS, the ongoing seasonal support has been a COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT, and quite honestly the product (that you raised the price on with "new features" that have yet to make their debut) should be an EMBARRASSMENT to everyone who's had a hand in it's development. The league rosters, the start and sit suggested rosters and free agents don't even update. You released a TERRIBLE product that simply doesn't work while raising the price. Save yourself the time and find anyone else's product to try out because Rotowire has officially jumped the shark.

Save your money

This app has been nothing but a disappointment. The trade tool is still ”coming soon” 7 weeks into the season. It doesn’t allow for complete customization of scoring and because of that it didn’t accurately help me draft. My league for example has double point for TDs scored in outside a players normal way (Wr getting rushing TDs for example), we also have bonus point for 100 yard threshold, and bonus points for TD length and the app can’t handle that. The positional rankings are completely flawed. How do I have the worst qb room in the league when my starting QB is mahomes? They need to completely redo the code for this app and start back from the ground up and actually have some people that play fantasy football in the room when they do it.

Cool fantasy app

Love that this app works during the season now too. Have all my leagues imported. Best player news notifications based on players on all my teams across different apps

Great work

Very useful in-season additions with news alerts and improved waiver wire tools.

Horrible

Way to go RotoWire, you ruined it. It was a great business model before switching to subscription only. The iOS app is horrible. Can only access about 1/2 the features on iOS app compared to desktop.

Canceled my subscription after 1 month because rotowire is trash now. Good job blowing it! Will NOT ever use rotowire ever again.

Not what it used to be. Very hard to justify the subscription model.

After 8 seasons purchasing Rotowire’s Fantasy Football Draft kit, I was faced with this new subscription model and completely revamped app. Getting familiar with the app took time and as a result my draft was setup wrong (w/o) defense roster spot. To my surprise I didn’t realized of the mistake until I was drafting the D. I could not used the app further during draft. The monthly subscription fee is super expensive, and in my opinion not worth it. Still have incomplete features yet not available. It simply was not ready for prime time. Unfortunately I don’t see the value anymore. Until it changes back to the one time purchase for the season at a reasonable price, you have lost me as a customer. I wish you well.

Waste of money

I’ve purchased this app for years but this new version is terrible. The custom scoring settings were not good and you couldn’t even assign a dollar figure to keepers for auction draft plus many other features that were just plain worse than the app from previous years. On top of the draft being terrible, I purchased the in season mode, which I really didn’t want to pay for but did, and here we are in week 4 and we don’t even have all the features available yet, for instance trade tools.
