- [R1] CBS Sports Fantasy Mock drafts gone from app: How dose a fantasy site take away mock drafts from the mobile phone! What a joke that you have to use a desk top just to do a mock draft. Bring back mock drafts to the app
- [R5] CBS Sports Fantasy Why change it?: This app was fine until it removed daily totals for fantasy baseball. PLEASE add it back so I know my team’s total scoring in real time.
- [R9] CBS Sports Fantasy Missing feature in redesign: I thought the app used to be very good. But this new redesign of the app… I can get used to things being in different places, that’s fine. But- In the H2H matchup, when it shows you stats for each player in today’s games, there used to be TOTALS at the bottom for your team for the day’s action, totals for hitters, and totals for pitchers. This was vitally useful. It l
- [R13] CBS Sports Fantasy Fantasy baseball: You need to add trade block back to the league menu for fantasy baseball. How do you keep missing this???And add rostered% and make it sortable when looking at free agents or drafting. You need to do these basic things like ASAP considering the cost of having our league on this platform.
- [R3] CBS Sports Fantasy New update is terrible: Fantasy baseball was so easy to use and navigate but now I’m constantly searching for just the basics. Hate it! Update: Have found my way around a bit more but there was no reason to change it. Just doesn’t flow well.
- [R4] CBS Sports Fantasy Why?: The update is ridiculously uninteresting and horribly non-intuitive. Took something that did the job nicely and wrecked it for no apparent reason. Wish I had seen it before I renewed our league. Terrible, CBS. Who green-lit this redesign? Not someone who uses it.
- [R6] CBS Sports Fantasy App Interface: I’ve kind of gotten used to the app since launch, but the previous version definitely was superior for functionality. For baseball, please consider a separating line/column between batters and pitchers on the matchup screen. It was easier with the BATTERS and PITCHERS titles at the top of each section.
- [R10] CBS Sports Fantasy Bloatware: New version is just terrible… slow, over loaded with ads, and super confusing. Why change? You made it worse
- [R25] CBS Sports Fantasy What in the world did you do to this app?: Doesn’t even deserve the 1 star - Probables constantly incorrect - active players listed in minors - frequent stat corrections into the next week - schedules constantly incorrect People are paying for this, and it’s not being fixed
- [R28] CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball Update: The update for the 2026 season is trash. Head to head scores don’t reflect the real score. I’m losing ERA and WHIP, but the score shows me winning those 2 categories. Many other leagues have the same issues. There’s a whole Reddit thread complaining about it.
- [R29] CBS Sports Fantasy Maybe the worst update ever?: Shows incorrect scores, hard to navigate or see which pitcher is starting, waivers freeze constantly. How is this any sort of upgrade?
- [R33] CBS Sports Fantasy Update is not functional: The new update to this app is difficult to use and has removed all the great functionality of the original app. It freezes, and doesn’t update data in real time. I now don’t use the app and only access my fantasy team by my computer on a web browser. Hopefully my league will migrate to a better platform with a more functional app next year.
- [R54] CBS Sports Fantasy 2026 Version of the App is Terrible: This is a if it ain’t broke don’t fix it situation. The 2025 version of the app was awesome, mirrored the website very well. This new version is not intuitive and is missing key features for fantasy baseball, like upcoming schedule which is kind of important. This feels like it’s built for DFS and not year long daily and weekly lineup changes. If I could uninst
- [R57] CBS Sports Fantasy Awful Update: Absolutely pathetic update. Keep your old app and do not update this new version unless they fix it. It looks a little more up-to-date, but they removed features and functions that were extremely useful. Now, when you are looking at live scoring, it doesn’t even add up all of the stats. The usability is a complete joke. It’s bad when you have to go back and do everything you used to
- [R12] CBS Sports Fantasy After waiting years for a legit update this is what we get…. So sad: CBS has proved no one in their development team even plays fantasy sports. This app went from a middle of the road fantasy app to the worst one with this latest update. Who makes these ideas…
- [R24] CBS Sports Fantasy Dog poo: The new app is terrible. It always takes some getting used to a new UX but it’s almost like someone who never used the product redesigned the app. There is nothing to like about it over the old app except it probably generates more ad revenue compared to the old version. So many critical features or details were left off. We have used cbs sports for over 20 years for our fantasy baseball
- [R27] CBS Sports Fantasy New App sucks: I’ve used CBS Fantasy for fantasy baseball for 20 years. The new app is counterintuitive and generally a bad user experience. There’s no way CBS did any QA work with experienced customers prior to releases. I want the old app back!
- [R41] CBS Sports Fantasy Bad update: Did the programmers play fantasy baseball or test these updates with people that used the old version. Bad update- you made the app poor. Also how do you update Trade Block from the app?
- [R61] PrizePicks HORRIBLE APP DO NOT PLAY: I’ve had this app since 2021 no issue now all of a sudden they are deactivating accounts and when you send all the right information, they will email back asking for the same thing and then make up this violation, seizing all your accounts and holding your funds they did this to me. Do not add money on this app at all they put you through all this trouble to get your mone
- [R66] PrizePicks Scam: This app is a scam. Fixed payouts that dont make sense, withdraw issues that are dependent on the user depositing even more money to be able to make withdrawals to different personal accounts, and the support staff is short and not interested in accommodating any of your issue outside a direct answer an immediate end to the conversation. Dont download this app unless you have nothing to lose
- [R70] PrizePicks Don’t: Don’t get this app it won’t let you withdraw your money
- [R80] PrizePicks Worst app: Worst sportings app everytime I want to with draw they have a problem paying up , and then when you complain to there customer support they deactivate your account and they keep your money too
- [R16] CBS Sports Fantasy Missing Functionality: I liked the old app and am learning the new app. A big fail for me the scoring tab no longer includes the stat totals for the day.
- [R18] CBS Sports Fantasy Downgrade: Been a user for years. This new update is horrible. Not user friendly and the live scoring doesn’t even have daily totals. Whoever was responsible definitely is not a fantasy manager.
