### 2/5 — Not Really Rumors

*2026-08-06, version 2.0.3*

Everything posted here is from another published source. There is no insight into anything not published. Nice that they aggregate the other pubs in one place but definitely not “rumors”

### 3/5 — Great except for Paywall

*2026-08-01, version 2.0.2*

I am a senior, I can’t afford to pay for subscriptions, I understand putting special features behind a paywall. But the rumors of potential trades ?
The result is less traffic driven to your site. I don’t check in a tenth of what I used to.

### 3/5 — Boring at times

*2026-08-01, version 2.0.2*

Most of the time never see too many new stories

### 3/5 — Paywall made me delete it

*2026-07-22, version 2.0.1*

I used to use this app all the time but the free content is so minimal. if I am going to a pay for an app the Atheltic is just so much better.

### 5/5 — Been a fan since 2013

*2026-05-15, version 2.0.1*

MLB trade rumors and its affiliates are fantastic sports news aggregators and even break their own news from time to time. A must for any fan of major American sports.

### 2/5 — Commenting

*2026-03-26, version 2.0.0*

Haven’t been able to comment since the update

### 3/5 — Update is horrible

*2026-03-18, version 2.0.0*

Update is horrible. Doesn’t work near as good as it used to. I’m navigating to the athletic and other apps because it’s not what it was.

### 2/5 — News feed

*2026-03-16, version 2.0.0*

Since the new update the news feed is not updating. I have the same news feed from two ago.

### 4/5 — They will fix it years later

*2026-03-15, version 2.0.0*

I complained about issues long ago and they’ve finally made an update. Great app but seemingly lacking dev support. Keep up the good work, we appreciate the service!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-14, version 2.0.0*

Glad it’s working again

### 5/5 — I like the cool guy

*2026-03-13, version 2.0.0*

I like the cool guy.
And also the owner has this hat he really likes

### 5/5 — Incredible app!

*2026-03-09, version 1.8.2*

Such in-depth information with the NFL front office subscription. The alerts from this app alone give me an upper hand on my fantasy league members. So happy I found this app!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-03-08, version 1.8.2*

It helps me check in with all my favorite sports in one app

### 5/5 — I like the cool guy

*2026-02-28, version 1.8.2*

I like the cool guy.

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2026-02-24, version 1.8.2*

My go to for the latest on MLB and the NHL. If I hear info somewhere else, I know an article is already up at trade rumors. Articles are in depth and usually very accurate. Sometimes the links in the articles are incorrect. 
Highly recommend this app if you like to stay up to date in the sports world.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No Steelers

*2026-08-07, version 2.0.3*

I no longer get Steelers or Carolina Panthers stories

### 1/5 — No Dolphins

*2026-08-07, version 2.0.3*

I’ve love Trade Rumors for years but lately there has been no items in the Dolphin column. Complete blank. What up with that?

### 1/5 — Voiceless

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.3*

For some reason I’ve been silenced by MLBTR. I have the ability to upvote, but am no longer able to post comments.
I was never given a reason why, even after contacting the site more than once.

### 1/5 — Great insight, trying to get money grabs

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.3*

They provide great insight however the advertisement’s are annoying and a app that was able to provide free contact is now a money grab. Asking for money for extra content you now have to pay for. Shame on them!

### 1/5 — Comments

*2026-04-25, version 1.8.2*

On iPhone, you cannot leave a comment because the keyboard is permanently in the way when you try typing and you cannot get rid of it. I’ve had this app for years… I hoped this would be fixed forever ago. Anybody reading this find a different website on your phone for sports. The owners are negligent clearly and don’t update the app.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2026-02-12, version 1.8.2*

Beta ran out now it’s crashing.

### 1/5 — Comment box

*2026-01-24, version 1.8.2*

Fix the issue from Oct 31. Some users still can not add a comment because dialog box gets hidden under keyboard

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend

*2026-01-01, version 1.8.2*

Doesn’t load properly

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even load

*2025-12-19, version 1.8.2*

The app freaking sucks now even when I’m on my home WiFi the articles never ever ever load. I just swiped out of the app 5 times for a single article to load this app is absolutely terrible now I have no idea what happened to this app used to have zero connection problems this past year i have horrible connection issues with this app. NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP

### 1/5 — Terrible comment system

*2025-11-25, version 1.8.2*

The content of the app is that of a content aggregator. Pulling breaking news from real journalists around the web. But they do a good job of it albeit with some questionable grammar at times. 

The main issue with this app is clearly the comment platform. They’d be wise to incorporate a Reddit-esque platform where:
1. Top Commenters who make valuable contributions are recognized, creating accountability.
2. The capability of downvoting comments disincentivizes trolls from taking over threads, which ultimately pushes away a lot of the valuable accounts from making comments.
3. Oversight of the same people making multiple accounts to influence their upvotes, aka “Karma” in Reddit speak.

Make it happen, lest this app will be easily replaced in time.

Amazing way to get information. I have been using trader for a few years.

### 5/5 — I like how there is the cool guy

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.1*

This website is the best. Whoever made it must be very cool. But whoever made it must not have good Mario kart music

### 5/5 — Your One-Stop Shop for Personnel Changes

*2026-07-01, version 2.0.1*

This app is so easy to use, and the amount of time and energy the staff puts into reporting every single personnel move, no matter how insignificant is truly impressive. Easily my top destination for getting sports news.
