Many features that were previously free have been locked behind paywalls, leading to frustration over the app's transition into a "cash grab" model. Overall, users feel that the excessive advertising and constant upselling detract from the core functionality of managing their fantasy teams, making the experience cumbersome and less enjoyable.

    • “The app went from a software that felt beta to now finally working, but bloated with advertising and basic features now disabled behind paywalls.”
    • “It's become unbearable with all the ads and changing features that used to be free to now be paid benefits.”
  • stability
    88 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The app is plagued by significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and glitches that severely hinder functionality, especially during critical moments like drafting.

    • “It's always been buggy and had issues, but it's unusable lately.”
    • “Both of my drafts this season were plagued with glitches and bugs that resulted in players unable to be drafted, the app telling me I was on the clock when I wasn't, and the app not selecting players that I picked to draft.”
  • optimization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The app suffers from significant optimization issues, with users reporting extremely slow performance, navigation difficulties, and a lack of functionality on mobile devices. Many features, such as player search filters and viewing team performances, are cumbersome or no longer accessible, leading to frustration among players.

    • “Please focus on optimization and leave what looks and feels good, just the same.”
    • “Mobile doesn't seem to be fully optimized; some menus are hard to navigate, and the trade block screen was almost unbeatable for me (Samsung Galaxy S24 FE). Everything else pretty much worked great and felt fluid.”

    • “This is not at all optimized for Android.”
  • music
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the integration of audio in ads is seen as a significant drawback, detracting from the app's usability and enjoyment.

    • “The annoying ad music is a major pain too.”

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the app have received mixed reviews, with many users finding them overly large, unappealing, and not intuitive, which detracts from the overall user experience. While some appreciate the simple and aesthetic user interface, others feel that the graphics are boring and cluttered, suggesting a need for improvement in visual design.

  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the story aspect of the app, citing issues such as the need to click through multiple prompts to read content, persistent unwanted notifications, and a lack of direct access to full stories from alerts. The overall experience is marred by technical glitches and irrelevant notifications, leading some to consider switching to a different fantasy site or app.

    • “My only complaint is that it would be a nice feature when the scoring notification or injury alerts pop up... when I click on it, that would bring me to the full story.”

    • “Every time I read a story, I am required to click on a button to continue reading until the end.”

  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in managing fantasy basketball lineups and navigating the app's interface, which has become more cumbersome following a recent overhaul.

    • “Setting lineups for fantasy basketball is tedious now.”

  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The situation is further amusing due to the app's malfunctioning, which adds a layer of absurdity to the experience.
