### 3/5 — League Scoring

*2026-08-21, version 1.20.0*

If you can sync leagues you can sync scoring- shouldn’t be manual. Glad to see an overhaul- looking forward to the changes- but not promising out of the gate.

### 1/5 — Disappointed in the updated app

*2026-08-15, version 1.20.0*

Was something I enjoyed using prior to every draft season.  Wish I could use the old app!

### 1/5 — Going to try ‘Ultimate Draft Kit’ instead of this garbage

*2026-08-15, version 1.20.0*

Updating the review since the devs keep resetting the ratings

### 5/5 — The best app for fantasy football

*2026-08-14, version 1.20.0*

Huge improvement over past years. The mock draft is stellar, especially the draft plans. Excited to use the in season tools

### 5/5 — Best Mock Draft tool around

*2026-08-14*

My big focal point for the season is just getting the necessary draft reps. Testing out different strategies can be super annoying on other platforms, but it’s basically all built in one here. I will have no finer hone when it comes to testing out my draft theories

### 5/5 — Great Football App

*2026-08-14, version 1.19.0*

Insights and organization are fantastic 🚀

### 5/5 — Looks great

*2026-08-13, version 1.19.0*

Cheat sheet this year is way better. Lot of features back. Doing a ton of mocks. Great for dynasty too.

### 1/5 — Not a well constructed app for the price

*2026-08-12, version 1.19.0*

Still many problems.  Not enough custom scoring features.  I’ve had to add the keepers to my leagues every time I change my draft position in the mock drafts.  It’s difficult not comparing this to the previous version but knowing what this used to be it’s hard to be satisfied with this.  
Also, love bombing the app with fake bot reviews is lame.

### 5/5 — The Gold Standard for Fantasy

*2026-08-10*

Been using RotoWire for many years now to help me with my draft. I cannot imagine actually drafting without this tool. The results speak for themselves. I have won multiple leagues over the years and RotoWire has been the main reason for that. Cannot recommend enough.

### 5/5 — Love this tool!

*2026-08-10, version 1.19.0*

The rankings are amazing, I love the custom cheat sheet and personalized rankings in this app.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-30*

Cannot find or Load Yahoo leagues, what’s the point in paying for an app that cannot do what it says can do.

**Developer response:** A small issue with Yahoo rate limiting over the weekend was fixed this week! Contact support@rotowire.com for more info on importing your Yahoo leagues if you still run into any trouble, and the team will be more than happy to walk you through it. Thanks! -THE ROTOWIRE SUPPORT TEAM (support@rotowire.com)

### 1/5 — Absolute rip off

*2026-08-27, version 1.20.0*

Last year they changed it to a subscription model so they can charge ten times what it cost before. Didn’t buy it last year and was hoping they’d change it back, but they haven’t so I won’t be buying it again. Don’t know why they think anyone with half a brain is going to pay what they’re now asking.

### 1/5 — Totally useless for me. Long time customer.

*2026-08-27, version 1.20.0*

I use the football and baseball app every year. Love it. Stop doing it sub this. This is the most useless thing I have seen out there. Shame on rotowire. I cancelled my subscription ten minutes after purchasing. I hope I get full refund and don’t have to pay for the month. I could have done better with something free or a pen and piece of paper. Not at all what I was expecting.

### 1/5 — Gambling.com Group probably unaware of this decision

*2026-08-24, version 1.20.0*

Rotowire SalesOps & Exec Team presumably had no idea how perfect an app they created and how their customers used it. They could have raised the price significantly and all would grunted and happily paid. Instead, they threw out a massive annual cash cow for a “better” product that lost nearly all its legacy customers. How about just having two apps?  Would’ve kept a healthy annual cash flow. Rough estimate, 500,000 users @ $30 per…$15MM annually for an already developed app. smh

### 1/5 — Ruined perfection

*2026-08-23, version 1.20.0*

I tried to give them another shot after they rushed their app last year.  

It’s even worse this year.  

I hope this company goes out of business.   

They have no idea how to make a fantasy football app


The last app was great, it had everything you needed and was clean and simple.  

This app is a total travesty and disrespectful to everyone that’s used it before.  

The price has exploded yet they have removed needed features, the new app can’t load saved setting from their own cloud so you have to start from scratch.  

Pay more to get less while they force you to start over.   

If I’m doing all this I’ll just use a new app. 

This app is total garbage and no one should be paying what they demand.

### 1/5 — Still garbage

*2026-08-22, version 1.20.0*

Had to check this year if anything changed from last year’s atrocity. Sorry to see no one listened to faithful users. Please just revamp the draft kit to the same functionality as the old app and keep all the subscription based nonsense for in season features.

### 1/5 — Don’t close the app!

*2026-08-21, version 1.20.0*

Closed the app and it erased my draft. Just awful. I’m in a slow drat using a group text message. Accidentally closed the app and can’t get to resume. How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — It’s just as bad as the 2025 version

*2026-08-18, version 1.20.0*

I am what you guys call a Legacy user - I used your previous NFL Draft app since 2018.   And looked forward to it each year.

That all changed last year - but only for Fantasy Football.   All of your other fantasy draft sports apps remained the same (lucky for them).

I don’t like this current version - the mock drafts are sloppy - and you can’t just easily assign a pick to a team.  I’m now stuck doing NFL mock drafts on Sleeper app, which is awful but still better than your current version.

The old version was better - you should at least consider having a standalone version of the previous draft app.

### 1/5 — Still won’t give us what we want

*2026-08-17, version 1.20.0*

They brought back the old baseball, basketball and hockey apps, but still won’t for football. The new app still won’t let you customize keepers or AFC/NFC only settings. We said we would pay a higher price for functionality but apparently their stubbornness will continue to be their downfall. Plenty of other good apps out there.

### 1/5 — Worst Navigation

*2026-08-15, version 1.20.0*

Navigating the app and website is terrible.

### 5/5 — Excellence

*2026-08-25*

Really love all the helpful tools that rotowire offer !! The weather feature is really unique ! But the player & team need updates are accurate!! The league sync  rotowire offers is top notch ! Overall rotowire is worth an investing m for being a more knowledgeable fantasy manager!!

### 5/5 — Great pic for me

*2026-08-24, version 1.20.0*

Theo gives great insight. He’s the reason why I came over to RotoWire

### 5/5 — Cheat Sheet View is Back

*2026-08-22, version 1.20.0*

Love the 2026 update. Can make a fully customizable cheat sheet again with notes, tiers, custom columns & sleeper/bust tags. Was missing last year but now we’re back. LFG.

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2026-08-21, version 1.20.0*

My league is extremely difficult to mock draft for because of how our keepers are structured. The way the simulator lets me input keepers makes it so that I have the closest mock draft to my actual draft. Add that to all the intel and it’s a great tool.

### 5/5 — Perfect for my Guillotine League

*2026-08-19, version 1.20.0*

I was scrambling as a last-minute entry, and this app gave me everything I needed to put together a winning team. Super easy to use. Great job, folks!

### 5/5 — Great Mock Draft

*2026-08-18*

Love Fantasy and this is the best simulator out there

### 5/5 — Must have fantasy football tool

*2026-08-18*

No joke this is the only tool that helps me with my eight fantasy football drafts. It allows you to basically draft on their own software and not have to deal with the default rankings of the mainstream websites.

### 5/5 — Best version ever

*2026-08-18, version 1.20.0*

This year’s draft app allows you to use the rankings of the Rotowire analyst of your choice when drafting. Total game changer.

### 5/5 — Complete fantasy football app

*2026-08-15*

The redesigned app looks awesome and is complete with all my fantasy football needs like the Mock Draft simulator which looks very clean and you can set up so that the rankings match with your league settings. All-in-all the app looks and feels refreshed and totally recommend to anyone needing a fantasy football sidekick.

### 5/5 — Perfect for any league

*2026-08-14*

I’m in a handful of fantasy football leagues, and each has unique settings/played on a different site. This app allowed me to easily tailor any mock to replicate what i’ll see on draft day and offered numerous rankings/guides/strategies to see what felt best. This is the most prepared I’ve been for my drafts in years!
