Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is great for scores and updates, but the chat is constantly filled with spam and terrible ignorant racist comments. I have deleted the app because it is that bad and nothing has been done to prevent it.

I love the app for quick and accurate player and team info which helps me make adjustments to my teams. However, it would be great if it included more options for stats, like every REB/AST or every hit in baseball, which would help in fantasy and gambling.

The app is good, fast, and reliable with good content. However, it is hard to communicate and read comments as bots are spamming every chat. If bots can be disabled, the app would be great.
