As Great As They Come.

I wish they had one app for Yahoo Sports & Yahoo Fantasy. I understand why they created two separate apps like the other Big Names in the Game, ESPN, CBS, etc. But those apps don’t overlap information like the Yahoo Sports Apps do. I wish they either didn’t cross over info from app to app or simply had all sports related info on one individual app. because all the overlapping information between the two apps. is just too much sometimes, especially when they roll out something new. Almost everyone I speak to about Yahoo Sports & Yahoo Fantasy say the same thing which is exactly what I’m saying. There are so many other options available so they just gave up on Yahoo Sports period. I tell them they’re missing out and they joke back and tell me I’m wasting my time figuring everything out because once again the info is A+ but the web design is lacking. Lucky for myself I had patience so now I can take advantage of the A+ info that’s not available on ESPN, CBS Sports, etc. IF THEY MODIFIED THE APP TO MAKE IT SIMPLE TO NAVIGATE THRU THEY'D HAVE MUCH MORE TRAFFIC AND THE “CLIENTS” WOULD STICK AROUND FOR LONGER THAN THE USUAL 10 MINS AFTER THE SIMPLE SIGN IN PROCESS. After all that they’re still the best and I’m a pro gambler & pro fantasy football player just to give you an idea of where I’m coming from. Thanks guys.

Yahoo Fantasy on the decline

I have been a user of Yahoo Fantasy since 2003. It has been my preferred way to fantasy sports because of how easy it is to use and honestly, nostalgia. But recently, I have been disappointed with my experience on Yahoo Fantasy. There have been instances where players in fantasy baseball have not been listed in a starting lineup when they were and vice versa. As commissioner of my fantasy baseball league this has caused me many headaches due to the complaints of other in my league. My second point of concern would be the fact that it is so hard to get in touch with support. I understand that this time of year is difficult with the volume due to fantasy football but it took me 5 days to get the ruling on a tiebreaker scenario for the playoffs. I love Yahoo Fantasy and will continue to use it because it is superior to ESPN, CBS, etc. but I would like to see some internal housekeeping from time to time. Two more suggestion: can we have more than 20 characters for team names and the option to switch players out of doubleheader’s/rain outs. Thanks again!

Hi Matt, we appreciate your feedback. We are aware that there were some issues with players not being listed in the starting lineup when they actually were and this has been resolved. In regards to contacting customer support, we aim to respond to your requests for support as quick as possible. Due to the large number of contacts with football, we were answering our members in the order they were received which may caused delays in the response time to our members.

Works pretty seamless in iPhone 5S. Smooth, some nice extras, I especially like the mock drafting with this app. My only knock on it is, that not all capabilities are available as in the desktop version of yahoo fantasy sports. And you get some "tunnel vision" as a result of limited capabilities and the current UI. Especially when looking at daily stats of your lineup, the app's inability to go in landscape mode really hinders your appreciation of all things stats. I think most fantasy sports "managers" are stat people like myself and this app really does not let stats shine though and can be messy and hard to make out. This app may never fully evolve and will just be a dumbed down version of the desktop version of Yahoo fantasy sports, which may not be so bad if you're looking for a simpler faster interface.Since I wrote this original post some time ago: read top line iPhone 5S, the app has not evolved beyond a dumbed down ver. of the superior and advanced desk top yahoo fantasy portal.Added to review since dev response and raised my rating: Thanks for responding! Users like me are at least encouraged that Yahoo is trying to evolve this app. I like to amend a part of my review and state that the app is in full landscape mode when using a tablet. The player “cards” including NOTES, GAME LOG, and weekly-monthly-yearly STATS breakdown is nicely presented and well received by stat guys like myself. I hope the app is taken more seriously as I think it is more widely used for its mobile application and evolves past its “desktop” web portal.

Were there budget cuts this year for your app design team? My 12-year-old nephew could’ve coded a better UI than what Yahoo inexplicably signed off on for this year. The app worked fine for the last 4 years, there was no reason to update it and overhaul literally every aspect of it. To make matters worse, and what finally got me to the point of adding a review, is now the weekly matchup blurb in the grey box has been removed from the player profiles. I’ve been using that for years to make quick decisions on who to sit and start and now you’re going to remove it 6 WEEKS into the season??? I don’t know who’s in charge at Yahoo Sports but they need to be fired. The app is no longer easy to navigate, all of the processes have added more clicks instead of making the app more efficient, the notifications are endless and nearly impossible to find the settings in-app to change them, the new layout is not only visually unappealing but it’s also a mess of varying font sizes, and the league chat glitches out all the time including scrambling up the order of messages. This is embarrassing. Y’all should be embarrassed. This may be my last season with Yahoo, if you don’t change the interface back to the previous one. I don’t have the time to have to try to feel around the app and hope I find what I’m looking for and I’m sure most other users don’t either. Get it together.
