  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. [R5] CBS Sports Fantasy 4/5 · US 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.
  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. [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.
  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. [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.
  7. [R6] CBS Sports Fantasy 3/5 · US 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.
  8. [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
  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. [R26] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Botched this: No scoring preview! One of the most unintuitive clunky updates in the history of updates!! A job so poorly done CBS!
  11. [R28] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US 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.
  12. [R14] CBS Sports Fantasy 5/5 · US Finally: The old app was honestly rough. The new one isn’t perfect, but it’s a huge step in the right direction. The ads are still brutal, and they really need to bring back team totals on the Scoring page, but everything else feels better, navigation makes more sense, the visuals are cleaner, the data is easier to read, and the player pages are really good. It also feels a lot faster overall. Gl
  13. [R2] CBS Sports Fantasy 5/5 · US 1st Time Rating: Overall Show is fantastic, Scott, Chris and are GREAT along with the HOST. EVERYONE does an excellent Job! Have listened to 3 or 4 BB podcasts in the last 6 + yrs…some will know platforms. The last 3/4 yrs all CBS. Made playoffs the last 4 years in our 14 team league and won last year. Wish you guys could cover FB too.
  14. [R7] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Worst baseball analysts: They might like to watch baseball but they are clueless when it comes to reviewing it, especially on pitchers. If you want to win the league, just do the opposite what they recommend. Miss Adam and Heath.
  15. [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…
  16. [R18] CBS Sports Fantasy 5/5 · US 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.
  17. [R29] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US 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?
  18. [R34] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US So Bad….: Who makes a new fantasy app that actually makes it more difficult to follow fantasy sports. This is terrible, everyone involved should be fired. The baseball live scoring is non-existent, this is unacceptable.
  19. [R35] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US This app is unusable after the update.: I’m about to lose another weekly matchup this year directly because of this app update. Fix the pitcher start indication on the roster list to reflect reality.
  20. [R15] CBS Sports Fantasy 1/5 · US Football Mock Drafts On Mobile App: Use to easily be able to do Unlimited Mock Drafts On Mobile App. Can’t Even Find It Now. Is It Still Available On Mobile App?
  21. [R87] 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
  22. [R72] 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.
  23. [R88] 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.
  24. [R97] 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
