Favorite sports app out there
11/24/2018

Bernard Edwards
The layout is easy and quick, has enough articles to keep me entertained, and the BIGGEST plus is that it's the only sports app I've found that shows what station a game is being played. That actually is the biggest separator between other apps. I'm giving it a 4 because stats is a little lacking, not sure how easy it is to bolster that, but it bothers me. Also, I loved when it had trending games. It was removed a while, but it still REALLY bothers me they got rid of it. I used to open the app and see a big college football game was coming up, then an NBA game, then college football. Cool. 3 big games coming on, and what channel they were on, close the app and be happy. Now I have to manually check ALL the games across all the sports. I can see if they never had it, but they did and removed it >:-<

Yahoo Plus Allows COLLUSION
08/09/2021

RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER RESPONSE: I did write to that email address and demonstrated through evidence that there was a very high chance of collusion. Yahoo vetoed the 2nd trade - which was lopsided but not overly so compared to many non-collusive trades - and wouldn’t provide a word of explanation as to why. If it’s not for collusion, then half the trades made would then be subject to veto. The first trade these 2 colluding teams made involved 8 players and the team that got the windfall is now in a virtual tie for 1st. And Yahoo just allows that. It’s a joke. This is a $250 buy in league too, was gonna do $500 or maybe $1000 next yr. Yahoo provides not a word to inform as to any explanation or the criteria used to assess trades. Have been using Yahoo Fantasy Sports for 20+yrs but this is my last. In a $250 baseball fantasy league and 2 owners - one of whole was in dead last both times - made lopsided trades that favored one. That owner went from 8th to first. The second trade - which was imbalanced but not much more than a typical lopsided trade - was vetoed by Yahoo. Yet they’re not disqualifying both teams even though one team already reaped the benefits of the first trade - an 8 player one - and they’re almost certainly gonna do shenanigans again. Was considering $500 or even $1000 leagues next year but never gonna do Yahoo pro again.

Once a trade is accepted or rejected by our League Office the decision is final and explanations aren't provided. If you believe there's collusion in your league, please contact us through the sports section at help.yahoo.com, DM us @YahooFantasyCC on Twitter or on Reddit at r/YahooFantasy for further investigation.

Plain Ridiculous!

I have told Yahoo! about the same “bug” and yet nothing gets done?!?! When commenting all the sudden the app looks like it’s “searching” or “refreshing”(The Searching thing pops up and in the middle of the screen it stays!!)and you are unable to post your comment. You can continue to type BUT you can’t fix any mistakes or post, you can’t get out of commenting, The only thing that you can do is close the app and open it back up again. Yahoo will not allow you to comment if your comment doesn’t meet their guidelines yet Yahoo writers can write whatever they want, They can voice their opinion about any and all athletes, coaches, Team owners or whoever and regardless of how wrong, untrue(I could prove writers have written false articles if I could post a screenshot here)the article is it is still allowed to be posted. Yahoo will allow. Divisive comments, Yet if I want to call another commenter out for his/her ignorance I am the one not allowed to comment. Yahoo will “suspend” your commenting privileges also, you won’t be able to comment on certain articles, Oh and it’s obvious why those articles can’t be commented on also Yahoo 🙄 bottom line, Yahoo has lost its way, like the other sellouts

Score widget is a major problem
07/29/2022

wearshades
While the layout of the app and the frequency of notifications (not too many, not too few) made Yahoo Sports my preferred sports app, the removal of the regular score widget from the today view was too much of a problem. The replacement widget shows limited information and only periodically updates, rendering it effectively unusable. If the original widget was returned, I wouldn't have a major problem with the app. But the issue is at the core of why users download sports apps, and therefore the app no longer justifies a download.UPDATE: The development team appears to have made some small changes to the widget but have not addressed the problem. Until the original widget returns, this app doesn't have much use for most users. The CBS Sports app comes the closest to the experience the Yahoo Sports app previously provided both in terms of widget and overall UI. For those who no longer find Yahoo Sports useful given the aforementioned issues, that's my recommendation.

Thank you for your feedback, I will pass this along to our app team.
