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. [R1] CBS Sports Fantasy 2/5 · US 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
  2. [R4] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US 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.
  3. [R9] CBS Sports Fantasy 3/5 · US 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
  4. [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.
  5. [R3] CBS Sports Fantasy 3/5 · US 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.
  6. [R12] CBS Sports Fantasy 3/5 · US 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…
  7. [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.
  8. [R22] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US The new iOS app stinks: The two things I need no longer work. Daily team stats are not aggregated. I used to use the old app all the time to see how my team is doing in real time. That’s gone now. I only use this to set a lineup. It’s hard to see who is probable for pitching starts. The commissioner tools no longer allow adds/drops requiring me to use a laptop to see daily team stats and perform a
  9. [R25] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US 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
  10. [R50] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Worst fantasy baseball app ever: How did this update get released? Missing basic features, not even populating the correct day’s stats. What a disaster!
  11. [R64] 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
  12. [R10] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Bloatware: New version is just terrible… slow, over loaded with ads, and super confusing. Why change? You made it worse
  13. [R19] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Hate the new look: Hate the new update and look. Loved the old app. This is not user friendly. Change it back.
  14. [R119] CBS Sports 5/5 · US Scores and More at My Fingertips: I’ve used CBS Sports app for years and it has always delivered: news, scores, and my favorite teams’ info as well. Easy to navigate and lots of information at my fingertips.
  15. [R115] CBS Sports 5/5 · US Perfect: Scoreboards update in real time. Pretty good articles to read on the site. Its my go to sports website.
  16. [R13] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US 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.
  17. [R21] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Fantasy Baseball: What a horrible horrible update to the fantasy baseball platform within the app. It’s insanely difficult to figure out the number of starts I have already. It’s also hard to see individual stats for the week. This all used to be seen in the prior version. Don’t understand why so much was lost in the app. The website didn’t receive a change at all. I can’t find my watch list. Ther
  18. [R33] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US 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.
  19. [R61] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Trash: This app became trash overnight. Nothing but ads and videos. There is a large portion of the population who still has attention spans longer than 15 seconds who would rather read the news than listen to some blowhard tell us (yell at us) about what’s going on.
  20. [R81] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Great App: Great App, easy to use, especially the Scores tab. Lots of great information on teams and players. Nothing available for the PWHL, HUGE MISS. Drops you from 5 to 3 stars.
