At times, the app's upper navigation disappears, leaving the user stranded. POINTERS: I did experience some confusion when accessing my league on the app at first, but logging out and then back in solved the issue. Small, banner advertisements are inserted in-line with the headline scroll. Tapping a headline opens news stories within the feed for quick reading, and player profiles are conveniently accessible within player-specific news articles. A video-heavy section offering fantasy advice complements articles from the CBS Sports staff. Elsewhere in the app, users can watch live streams of CBS Sports Fantasy shows. Also notable is the ability to chat with opponents during the draft and over the course of the season. During games, point values update instantly in the GameTracker. As for after the draft, in-season matchups are fun to follow and roster changes can be made easily. The app does a nice job of summarizing draft action with picks listed by round, team or in a grid format. Individual players can be added to a queue, and a box can be checked to view only undrafted players. Players are searchable by name and filterable by various values. Drafting players is simple, and a countdown clock shows users how much time they have left to make their pick. During the draft, player performance statistics are conveniently located within the app. For pre-draft, the app contains mock drafts, video and news to help fans prepare and research their picks. My previously created team was easily accessible in the app by logging into my account. The app currently supports football, baseball and basketball fantasy leagues with hockey coming soon. This review was conducted on an iPhone 5 version 7.1.2, with AT&T LTE service.įANTASTIC: My first-ever mobile draft was surprisingly smooth. For drafts and team play, users can register with or connect with Facebook or Google+. The product is available on Android, Amazon, Windows and Blackberry devices in addition to iOS. CBS Sports Fantasy for iPhone is an ad-supported free download developed in-house. I have had a great experience so far with very few disclaimers, and I would recommend the app without hesitation. From a live mobile draft to player research, trades and substitutions, I have spent the past three weeks testing the ins and outs of the CBS Sports Fantasy app.
