This has effectively ruined my joy for fantasy. The NFL fantasy app was 12 years faithful, and this marriage was broken. Years of history stolen out from under me.

Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.

“Terrible logging in system that goes in circles and is just frustrating — The whole app and website is terrible. It’s very cluttered and unclear. I have just spent the past 30 minutes trying to log in. You cant even check your information in settings! So helpful. Once you get to where you want it’s pretty good. But understand that the dead login loop is as real as the ring of death on an Xbox.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Fragile website — Your website is fragile and temperamental. I can’t log in today and sometimes it takes 10 minutes to acknowledge I have an account. The app has similar slow log on issues. I run a league of 10 people and we will be using a different provider next year.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Unusable 75% of the time — The app design and layout is generally decent but the issues in function is terrible. Most of the time the app says the league i am attempting to access isn't associated with my account or just sorry there is an issue loading your team. Logout and back in doesn't fix, needs looked at as I have to use safari to access my league/team” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Not as good this year — App worked well last year. This year it has updated very poorly following week one. Some players scores are completely wrong. Matchup from week 1 is not there. Projections are not copying from individual teams through to matchups. Not quite sure why the changes have been made but they have not worked. Very disappointing.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Loading problems — Severe problems loading the NBA match up data on iPhone7 please fix asap.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Stats not updating, app takes ages to load. — Stats from over 10 hours ago still haven’t been added to my NBA league. Also the app often takes way too lot to load and occasionally doesn’t load at all. NEEDS FIXING.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Worst fantasy app — Awful app. Constantly freezes, if it works at all. Those who call is user friendly clearly don’t use any other apps, it’s the worst on the market by some distance” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“No stars — Not working on the opening day of the season. Shambles. Crashing, often close to game time. Not acceptable.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Very average — Since they changed the platform this year, the application has been really poor. Matchup live scores freeze as soon as games tip off. Shocking the dip in quality that this application has gone from since last year. Very unfortunate for people who use it often like I do” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Broken — For WEEKS the app won't load on my phone. It says that my phone has to internet connection. Crazy that I am able to post this comment though. No available app support unter the hyperlink in the app store either. Guess I can't play my league this year.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Difficult to contact the support team + app has not been working for days — I want to submit a support ticket for fantasy basketball as the app hasn’t been working for the past two days. It doesn’t open. I only see the loading screen then the app closes. I have the latest version installed, using the latest iOS version on an iPhone 16. It is very difficult to submit a ticket. I cannot find any support channels on…” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“The app won't start! — On top of the already confusing menu, now I can't start the app anymore, and even before when the app did work, it was just hanging the whole time, I don't understand how you manage to implement an idea so badly and then on top of that fail to keep the app running. The one star rating I'm giving here is more than deserved.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German

You can’t log in or sign up, so it’s a dead end! I don’t know but why bother to create such app when you can have all the news on other fully functional apps like bleacher report. This is a joke. Thanks for nothing!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“I haven't been able to get in since today. — I haven't been able to get in since today.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“not for beginners — no tutorial, or any help how to play the fantasy league.... But you'll have much time to google for it while waiting hours, and even days(!), for a league to fill, so the draft may start... Seems there are hundreds of leagues that get filled up to five, even eight players, but never reach the necessary ten.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“App is not working — Normally I like the app, but I can’t join drafts since a few days.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“not for beginners — no tutorial, or any help how to play the fantasy league....
