- [R5] Yahoo Fantasy Sports GIFs are gone: Please work on the messageboard. It could be so much better. Why did you take gifs away from it?
- [R20] Yahoo Fantasy Sports Recent update is a Flop: The recent update dropped or degraded a few key features, specifically in the salary cap (auction) format. There are no longer any sound effects or vibration alerts during the draft, so you’re forced to watch every pick closely, you can’t take your eyes off the screen for even a couple of seconds without risking a miss. Bidding is also limited to the main tab now, which
- [R62] Underdog Sports Great app.: Best App for Bestball Drafts.
- [R66] Underdog Sports Crashes: Bet odds are good but this app actively crashes a couple times a day when I am on it please look into it
- [R10] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 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
- [R28] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 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.
- [R75] Underdog Sports Good, but crashes a lot: App is great when it works, but regularly glitches and crashes
- [R3] Yahoo Fantasy Sports It fixed itself: Mysteriously the information came back after a couple hours . Not the first time that this has happened .b
- [R12] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 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.
- [R70] Underdog Sports Horrible Customer Support: Customer service does not provide any service or assistance needed and refuses to help out.
- [R8] Yahoo Fantasy Sports Yahoo Review: This is a great app to have fun with friends while playing all different types of Fantasy Sports with multiple leagues at a time
- [R29] Yahoo Fantasy Sports Yahoo Fantasy is Great: Yahoo Fantasy is the best app I have used to play sports. It is easy to use, looks great and works well day in and day out.
- [R76] Underdog Sports Unable to Withdraw My Money: I do not recommend this app. I deposited my own money, but when I tried to withdraw it, I couldn’t. My account shows funds, but the withdrawal option is unavailable, and my withdrawable balance stays at $0. This has been very frustrating. Be careful before depositing money into this app. Make sure you fully understand the withdrawal rules before you use it.
- [R82] Underdog Sports Terrible Betting App: There are a bunch of hidden fees and catches when it comes to bets. If you place any bet using a profit boost or anything of the sort you do not receive the full payout. You are forced to re-wager a portion of that money before you can withdraw it and that's only if you win. You basically have to win twice in order to receive the full payout of the first wager placed. Terribl
- [R34] Yahoo Fantasy Sports 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.
- [R93] Underdog Sports Make sure the stretch and lube up…: Underdog has some of the most predatory “policies” of all the major books. There interface is designed in a way that will automatically submit entries if you try and swipe out of the app for any reason. If you attempt to cash out and correct your error they will not return the full amount and you’ll lose whatever promotion you applied. The “customer support” is
