Has potential, but nowhere near worth the price yet
I paid around $70 for the annual subscription and, at its current price, I’m pretty disappointed.
My biggest issue is dynasty. WalterPicks advertises dynasty support, but the actual dynasty capabilities feel extremely underdeveloped. If you’re managing a dynasty team and looking for deeper trade, roster and long-term analysis, there just isn’t much here compared with other fantasy subscriptions in this price range. That wasn’t clear to me before purchasing.
The mobile draft experience also needs a lot of work. The draft board is difficult to navigate, and switching between WalterPicks rankings and ADP is confusing. It becomes unnecessarily hard to tell where players are actually going versus where WalterPicks has them ranked. A paid draft tool should make a live draft easier to manage, not harder.
The recommendations and personalized insights are a cool idea, but a lot of that experience is already available in the free version. The paid features simply don’t feel substantial enough to justify the price. I also don’t necessarily agree with many of their rankings/recommendations, but rankings are subjective, so that’s more personal preference than a criticism of the app.
The biggest problem is value. For roughly the same annual price, there are established fantasy services offering much deeper dynasty tools, draft tools, league analysis, trade tools, customizable rankings and overall functionality.
There’s definitely potential here. I like the concept and some of the personalized recommendations, and I could see WalterPicks becoming a great product as it develops. But right now the paid version feels much closer to an upgraded free app than a premium fantasy football platform. At this price, I can’t recommend the subscription.

Good app just gotta pay for everything that’s why i sometimes prefer other sites because its cheaper or doesn’t cost anything when im already spending on prize pool in league
Review
It’s a great app, just not a fan of the expensive pricing
No IPad version
Love the iPhone, but on draft day, it would be great to have a IPad version for teams, boards, more room to review, etc.
Terrible Syncing
I tried for weeks before my draft to get the app to resync with my current ESPN league and it was constantly stuck on the previous years draft for Fantasy Football. Its info and trade judging are nice, but the subscription is 100% not worth it when their system doesn’t even work properly.
