  1. [R5] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 4/5 · US Add Dynasty Mode: For the love of God can y’all please make a dynasty mode so I don’t have to use sleeper. Y’all are one of the biggest media companies there is no excuse, let’s get it done please! Till then 4 stars it is.
  2. [R18] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 3/5 · US Need help: I can’t find where to look at last season’s roster. Wanted to look back with my friends, but there seems to be no way to access that historical data.

  4. [R27] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 3/5 · US More options: Which there was more options to play meaning do what yahoo fantasy does and have customized leagues you can join besides the create and join the automated 10 teams league that espn does
  5. [R48] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 3/5 · GB Best fantasy NFL and content but....: access to interesting analysis and content is increasingly behind the ESPN + paywall. No problem, I’m sure it’s worth paying for. But here is the rub, you can’t subscribe outside of the US. So we have a paywall with no option to pay and thus a block on increasing amounts of the content for overseas users. Given the increasing shift of content - there was a
  6. [R61] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Bad Update: The new update makes the app look like social media, not an app that actually has articles with sports stories along with the scores
  7. [R66] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Just ok: The app falls short for minor sports such as wrestling, volleyball and golf. The coverage is weak for many women’s sports, too.
  8. [R72] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Update disaster: Could you at least make a setting to allow to view homepage in the old list style? Feels like a lot more scrolling to get similar content, many more videos (there’s a watch tab for that), everything is a large thumbnail that isn’t necessary and takes away from the app.
  9. [R1] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 1/5 · US App doesn’t load: Please update the and fix the app.
  10. [R2] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 4/5 · US Not working: Not working on apple iPad
  11. [R3] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 3/5 · US Does not work: I have played this app before it’s super fun but when I try to play it on my new phone it doesn’t work.
  12. [R4] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 1/5 · US stuck on pulsing shield: Subject: Critical App Crash: Stuck on Pulsing Shield Blue Screen (iPad 7th Gen)Issue Description:After recent updates, the ESPN Fantasy app is completely unusable on my device. The application launches to the blue splash screen with the pulsing shield logo but freezes indefinitely. It never loads the login screen or the league dashboard.Device & System Specifications:Devic
  13. [R12] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 3/5 · US Needs the following improvements:: This app needs a premium option to remove all the alcohol adds. We want our fantasy league to stay here but the bombardment of beer adds makes it hard to want to stay.
  14. [R28] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 1/5 · US Ads will not stop: Did an NHL bracket. At the page that shows both of the brackets it will not stop opening my browser for an ad. Even if you leave it open and go back to the app, it kicks back over to the browser ad.
  15. [R37] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 2/5 · US Bugged: I love the service as a whole, I think is one of the more premium Fantasy Sports Services out there. Although I keep having an issue with the Hockey Playoff Bracket, when I’m on the home page, that shows both of my brackets, and their ranking, for some reason, it keeps redirecting me to safari on some random tab that normally is gray text with a light turquoise underline and arrow. I doubt
  16. [R31] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 2/5 · US Customer service is bad: Beware of reporting wrongdoing in fantasy leagues as ESPN may punish you. Reported, “Collusive Transactions and Impeding Other Team Managers” in a ESPN fantasy baseball league. Customer service mixed up the teams and ended up booting me from the league and confirmed it was an accident after it was too late.
  17. [R52] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 1/5 · US Lineup alert: Alerting player out of lineup when they're not. Now they're on my bench hitting HR's. 👍 Also - never anyone with competence to respond to service requests. I never review apps so you must really suck.
  18. [R76] CBS Sports 1/5 · US New update: This was my favorite sports app, and the only one i would use, until about two weeks ago when they updated it and now it’s just all videos. They used to have headlines which you would click on and read the story and they got rid of that.
  19. [R38] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 5/5 · US Perfect for All Fantasy Football Players: Perfect hub for all of my fantasy sports teams. The games are always fun and I can see everything that I can see on the website, but it looks better on here.
  20. [R50] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 5/5 · US Hi: It’s supper fun to play with friends and is competitive between teams
  21. [R41] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 4/5 · US Dynasty?: Make a dynasty setting or something lock in espn sleepers so much better
  22. [R63] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Stop: Stop asking me to review your app.
  23. [R70] CBS Sports 1/5 · US No more “review” requests please: I use the app a lot and everytime I open it up I’m being asked if I like the app. I give it 5 stars…then get the question again the next time I open it up. Makes me consider using another source as my sports go to.
  24. [R53] ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 4/5 · US Ad: Whenever I click the games and go to nba playoffs it sends me to this ad from a grocery store. I would recommend but please fix
