Yahoo Sports vs Yahoo Fantasy Sports

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R9] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US Good, Not Great!: While I think the Yahoo sports app is one of the better sports apps available for the iPhone, especially if you use Yahoo as your fantasy home (it’s the best), it could be much better. I’d love to see y’all add College Softball, and the teams to the normal coverage as well as horse racing. I also wish there was more user freedom in how things are arranged for our viewing pleasure
2. [R14] Yahoo Sports 5/5 · US Best app for quick scores: Had to delete CBS sports app because they finally broke me. This has simple scores if thats all you want, doesn't add sports you dgaf about (soccer, wnba). You can go to favorite leagues and look at only that league's news. No other sports app lets you control content to this degree.
3. [R32] Yahoo Sports 4/5 · US Best sports app: Wish they would bring Apple Watch support so I wouldn’t have to run two different sport apps
4. [R33] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US More College Sports: I counted 24 different soccer leagues that you publish scores & teams for, which is helpful if you like soccer, BUT you do not offer college baseball or hockey!! Please rein in all the soccer stuff, or at least add the college baseball & hockey!!
5. [R3] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US Poorly optimized for screen: The latest update reduced the usable screen area to less than a third, with large empty bars on each side, making the actual content small and difficult to read.
6. [R18] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US Navigating App is Insane: Navigating this app is crazy - nothing easy to access.
7. [R27] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US Widget on iPhone slowww to update: Can’t stop notifications and the widget on the iPhone is slow to update. Fair app at best
8. [R4] Yahoo Sports 1/5 · US Stop the score banners!: Deleting this app because I’m constantly getting live score updates on top banner of my Home Screen even when locked, for teams I don’t even follow. All notifications and haptics are turned off and they still show up.
9. [R5] Yahoo Sports 4/5 · US World Cup Start Times: Yahoo having trouble getting the start times right for the biggest event of the year. Mexico Ecuador shown as 9 pm edt for last four days. At 906, it’s updated to 10 pm edt. Not the first time either. Seems like an important detail to get right.
10. [R8] Yahoo Sports 4/5 · US FIFA Table standings!: England & Ghana are currently at halftime, playing in their 2nd match. Yet once the 0-0 score is posted, the table standings take the result as final. Another example, once the first team of any match scores, the table standings treat this result as final and show a win for the team that scores first. Finally to write this review I had to erase the review I wrote last yea
11. [R11] Yahoo Sports 4/5 · US great but sometimes freezes: I've been using it for years as it's great for tracking many sports. Only problem I have is that it freezes up on a regular basis when I come back to it. I have to close the app and reopen it.
12. [R1] Yahoo Sports 1/5 · US Yahoo sports: App sucks… can’t go in scores without seeing a dating app about nude women, I’m a female that doesn’t want to see that and neither does/will my husband…will delete app because it refuses to stop ads when we want them stopped!
13. [R6] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US Great app but too much betting focus: This has been my favorite sports app since before yahoo even owned it (I think it was called sportacular or something like that?) and it’s easily the best one on the App Store in terms of UI. But over time they have added more and more focus on sports betting which is a real shame. They should at the very least provide the option to remove the betting ads from
14. [R7] Yahoo Sports 1/5 · US Annoying ads: The ads are beyond annoying. There is nothing that makes sense with them and just get in the way. Please at least make them sports related at the minimum
15. [R40] Yahoo Sports 1/5 · US Nice and simple app, but ads with audio!? Smh: How dare you interrupt my podcast with a terrible audio track for some bs brain-decaying game. DON’T EVER INTERRUPT MY PODCASTS!
16. [R39] Yahoo Sports 3/5 · US Can’t send feedback: Overall it’s pretty good but ATP and WTA aren’t updated for 2026 and their feedback form isn’t working.
17. [R70] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 1/5 · US Hard to navigate.: No easy way to sign out. No way to leave a league. All the features are hidden under settings that do that correlate. The help center is no help. Is does not match the actual user interface so the instructions are useless
18. [R94] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 1/5 · US Constant notifications I do not want and no way to contact support: I have notifications turned off for everything except fantasy football yet I’m constantly getting bombarded with other sports. There is no way to contact support unless it’s a specific league question.
19. [R34] Yahoo Sports 2/5 · US NCAA Baseball: Why is college baseball excluded from yahoo?
20. [R38] Yahoo Sports 4/5 · US NCAA Baseball & Softball: Your app provides great scores & information on the sports you include. Your biggest gap is lack of coverage of NCAA baseball & softball. Is there any chance you’ll be adding these?
21. [R19] Yahoo Sports 2/5 · US Tired of it ignoring settings: Why does it change my notification settings update. It won’t even let me change them back without uninstalling and reinstalling it, it seems like EVERYONE single update
22. [R58] Yahoo Sports 1/5 · US Annoying unwanted news notifications: It feels like every month or so some new notification category pops up in the add with a default to turn ON those notifications for me, so I get some random news about some league I don’t care about. I only want the notifications I’m explicitly asking for: the score alerts I sign up for with teams I follow or for specific games. Stop sending me all of these ot
23. [R61] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 2/5 · US Soccer notifications out of nowhere!: Not sure why but have been getting nonstop notificstions for world cup.
24. [R64] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 1/5 · US Stop with the notifications: I only want notifications for my league but I’m spammed 50 times a day. I might quit and find another way to play because this app is so annoying.
25. [R85] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 1/5 · US Hate it: I’ve been playing fantasy baseball for years. I hate the app. I find it difficult to use due to all the advertising. Way too much going on. I login in to the webpage on my phone instead. Overall, not thrilled with some of the changes in format Yahoo has made so might try CBS or ESPN next year instead.
26. [R88] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 1/5 · US Trash: I had every notification turned off except homers from my fantasy baseball team and tds from my fantasy football team. Yet I still get notifications for every yahoo baseball & football writers newest article and the yahoo fantasy football show. And now I’ve gotten notifications every single day about the World Cup. Now I will convince my football & baseball leagues to go elsewhere.
27. [R62] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 4/5 · US Great app: I’m enjoying the app one minor flaw, the green checkmark that you did an update on notifying the players availabilities I like the bright one before. The new dark one is hard to recognize.
28. [R65] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 4/5 · US GIFs are gone: Please work on the messageboard. It could be so much better. Why did you take gifs away from it?
29. [R67] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 1/5 · US GIFs in chat: Why did you get rid of the gif option in chat?
30. [R72] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 3/5 · US Update is Bad: New update is awful. Lagging UI, bubbly font is hard to read. Looks awful. No way anybody play tested this in what is to be considered any large enough sample size.
