Overall, the app is described as buggy and unreliable, prompting long-time users to consider switching to alternatives if improvements are not made.
- “The app freezes all the time... all the time, it barely functions.”
- “Wheres the update fixing the sort by stats and all the other issues with the current app? It's buggy and glitchy and is almost not worth playing on. Long time user of 13 years and I'm ready to start anew if they don't show something. The app feels abandoned like no one is addressing or fixing any issues, and there's a ton right now.”
- “Every year like clockwork... instead of updating the app and working out bugs during the off season, they wait until the season starts to push a buggy update that makes the app freeze and lag and become useless.”

- “Slow as molasses, covered in ads, completely unintuitive to navigate; it's basically the perfect storm of unpleasant user experiences.”
