### 2/5 — So many better options

*2026-09-09, version 12.7.2*

I cannot turn off the daily reminders of other sports or games I’m not interested in. Rankings suck compared to other sites. Only reason we stay is the history. Would go Sleeper or ESPN over Yahoo.

### 2/5 — Bad URL / Error riddled app

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

I can’t believe this app.  Error codes every time I try to access my fantasy football league.  Not very user friendly.  Unacceptable actually.

### 3/5 — Sad silent draft

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

I wish there was sound during the draft.  Silent draft is weird for something you look forward to all year.

### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse and worse.

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

Why does Yahoo insist on adding more and more clutter and screen bloat making it hard to see my line up? I don’t want to see some useless chat, I don’t want to gamble, I don’t want to watch a video, I don’t care what others are doing. I just want to see my line up and the actual game scores (yahoo removed those now too). “Fixing” things that aren’t broken, dumb moves by Yahoo.

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

Won’t even let me log on or redownload it after deleting to help fix the issue just save yourself the hassle and get a better app

### 1/5 — Ignores notification settings

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

Turned off all notifications except specific ones for my league and it still spams me about joining public leagues.

### 1/5 — Ads and Notifications

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

Overwhelming amount of ads in notifications, with no way of turning them off. Emailed support about this issue as I have push notifications on for just my leagues and they told me there’s no way to remove the ads. Terrible customer experience!!

### 1/5 — Just when you think it’s impossible

*2026-09-08, version 12.7.2*

It somehow gets worse every year. Shrink the UI to make room for more ads! Final year on this app.

### 1/5 — The app is awful

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

You can’t log out and login with different credentials. It’s so annoying

### 1/5 — Worse every year

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

I don’t know why I gave yahoo fantasy another chance this year. It’s awful. Interface is a mess app always freezes and censorship in the chat is diabolical. Another failed year for the developers

### 1/5 — Fix the new layout 9/2026

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

The new layout for fantasy football is garbage. I'd fix that in the next update as soon as you can. Remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

### 1/5 — Not great

*2026-09-08, version 12.7.2*

Hard to navigate. Confusing.

### 1/5 — Notifications out of control

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

Disabled all notifications except my league and still getting notifications for daily and fantasy sports I don’t even play

### 1/5 — Boo

*2026-09-08, version 10.40.2*

I can’t even find my team to play amidst all the info junk

### 1/5 — way too difficult to maneuver leagues

*2026-09-08, version 12.7.2*

worst fantasy app i've seen out there

### 1/5 — Slop

*2026-09-08, version 12.7.2*

Several fantasy football draft rounds got high grades. My power went out. Autodraft completed the rest. AI Slop gave the draft - which was mostly competed by AI slop - an F. Horrendous user experience.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past sign in.

*2026-09-08, version 12.8.1*

Can’t really give a review of how well I enjoy this app if I can’t continue past the most basic of all apps. I can’t even sign in. I can’t click forgot username, I can’t do anything on this app. 0/10.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stop the notifications. Just. Stop.

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

This app sends relentless, non stop injury notification updates for the same player(s) between 4&5 PM every day, days away from any meaningful game. You would need a separate phone to parse the unbridled litany of notifications. Horrific app and even clunkier client to navigate fantasy. Use ESPN.

### 1/5 — Verification takes 10 weeks

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

Couldn’t join my fantasy league because it takes them 3 weeks to verify your identity. Useless company that will go extinct just like Blockbuster. Horrible!

### 1/5 — The new update is awful

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

This new layout is AWFUL. I am in 4 fantasy leagues and on the home page, 2 of them show up, followed by ads and the stupid “swipe the starter” box, then my 2 other pools at the bottom. Why can’t it be more condensed and convenient??? IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT!

### 1/5 — Convoluted

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

Trying to join a league my friend created but there are no options to find their crew.  Drop down menus are limited.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

The app doesn’t load all the time. It’s confusing and full of nonsense.

### 1/5 — Stop with your annoying notifications

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

I disabled every push notification in the app except for my league yet I'm still getting unrelated push notifications. No, I don't want to join your stupid public league. No, I don't want to pay for extra for your dumb fantasy subscription when I'm only doing a single social league. Respect your users when they disable all your annoying and stupid notifications

### 1/5 — Hard to get paid

*2026-09-09, version 12.7.2*

Just pay me my money

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

It wasn’t broken so why fix it. You broke it now.

### 1/5 — Out of date

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

ESPN is so much easier to navigate and see my team

### 1/5 — Worst fantasy app

*2026-09-09, version 12.8.1*

Honestly the worst app for fantasy. There stats are always off. The app always errors and compared to the other apps i would say this one is the least impressive.
