DK Live - Fantasy Sports News Reviews

DKLive ALWAYS has one function or another that is broken and not working. When that happens, it’s also very common for that function to be broken FOR WEEKS. When you contact customer service, they are rude, condescending, and completely unhelpful. They not only dance around the question, but they NEVER are able to give a timeline for when the broken function will resume functionality. At best, they say they know of the problem and are “working on it,” even when the problem has persisted for over a week. They don’t give two s*its about their users. If I could give negative stars, I would. Even worse, hours after a player was ruled out, their “news” not infrequently still says the player is questionable. It’s a good thing they don’t try to charge for DKLive.

At the start of the season, the data was not loading or was wrong. I’m sure DraftKings was aware and I tried to get confirmation and updates via app feedback and Twitter. I received no response.
In addition to this poor lack of support, DKLive enables too many notifications by default. I had to manually access each sport and change the notification options for each. And when I did that, the list of sports wasn’t populating any text so I had to rely on haptic feedback to make sure I was actually scrolling to the next sport.
DKLive is inconsistent and support is bad so I can’t give them more than 3 stars right now.

I use DKLive to follow PGA tournaments and it is very frustrating and almost useless to even try! I will start to scroll down the leaderboard and after a few seconds DKLive will refresh to the top. I try to scroll down and once again it will refresh to the top. It is impossible to completely scroll down the leaderboard before it refreshes and loses your spot. I have contacted customer support on three different occasions and they have yet to fix the issue or even have the courtesy to reply back. I’ve tried to delete DKLive and reinstall it but the issue remains. I rarely ever leave a one star rating but the lack of customer support and DKLive failing to serve the purpose of me downloading it, one star is well deserved.

I’ve had DKLive for a long time and it’s a good app. I’m giving a one star rating because of two things.

Recently Apple released the 11.4 iOS update around the same time that DK Live App version 11.4 was released. Not sure which caused the issue but the formatting on the Fantasy Plays tab is all messed up and I can’t see accurate point allocations between players when for example a strike out or home run occurs. Something needs to be fixed.

On a separate note, there really needs to be a separate iPad version of DKLive that has a landscape view and pulls in more game/player details. Seems like there is a lot of opportunity to make a really cool iPad version of DKLive.

I’ll update my rating as soon as these couple items are resolved.

Please with everything going guys need to do better job in making sure drive trackers and stats on game scorers working properly . There is lot of users now and with everyone playing fantasy things need to be little on software and having things work better. I know things happen but happening more often . Please talk to IT on things. Thank you

I’ve played on 6 different DFS sites, 2 of which are no longer around due to consolidation within the industry. My guess is 75% of my action is on DK because it’s incredibly user friendly and the layout is impressive. Also, when you have an issue they’re very fair and get back to you in a timely manner. Highly recommend.

DKLive itself could use a little more user friendly base to it but overal its great. I wish the my players button was a little different example: show you you’re players per lineup, and did them In order, but hey can’t win them all! Overall, very happy. Great alert times when available before locks, great news alerts

This is a very good add-on to have if you’re playing Draft King. It has very good suggestions and helps you in the right direction for best scoring / money results. I will say that they’re are still a few bugs that need fixing. I recently had to delete and then re-download DKLive . However, it’s not too much of an inconvenience.

DKLive content is pretty good, but when going to look at scoring plays for an individual player, it takes forever to scroll to the bottom cause DKLive is just the slowest I’ve ever dealt with! And why are the scoring plays for a player not sorted by most recent?? I don’t wanna scroll through 162 games worth of scoring plays when I need to get to it! Make DKLive smoother! You think you’d have your worth with an iPhone X at least...

I use to receive notifications from DKLive, but then I updated to the new iPhone 12 and since then, I have not gotten anything. I’ve talked with customer service and explained the problem numerous times and I just keep getting the same answers over and over again without any resolution. DKLive itself doesn’t give me the option to turn on notifications through the phone settings. There must be some way to fix this.

I downloaded DKLive and linked my DK account up to DK Live and I don’t receive notifications. I even went to my settings to allow for push notifications and the option isn’t there. They need to push out another update for 13.5.1!!

I really love DKLive, but the latest version is filled with bugs. Most notably the NBA fantasy pts scored is no longer showing up. Also plays in the play by play stay on the screen and don’t scroll. Plus would love to see a rank of the players by who outscored their projections by the most points or was had the most points per $ spent instead of just ranking by points scored.

If you care at all about Fantasy Football then download DKLive! It has up to date news, it shows who the highest scoring players are during the week, DKLive even taught me the meaning of life. Get DKLive today!

I love the "live updates", but wow, this is the most notification SPAM I've ever seen. I love NHL and NFL notifications, but I could care less about NBA, PGA, or anything else. I turn off those alerts daily, after I get "home run alert", or anytime a golfer blows his $&@! nose. Please fix this. Love DKLive , for what I like it for, but someday, I will unistall it because I can't silence the excessive notifications that I could care less about.

I don’t know how my review got deleted. But your app is still worthless at the moment. Doesn’t work on sundays and now it hasn’t worked at all. I can’t believe a partner of the NFL and NBA has such a mediocre app. You devs need to get it together. DKLive doesn’t work, and the user interface is not pleasing. Then you devs don’t even update player photos till later in the season. FanDuel updates before the seasons start. DK live needs to be fixed and needs a better pleasing design / UI

I was (was being the keyword) with FanDuel for 2 1/2 years, Draft Kings has a lot more Game info & A better selection of games to choose from.I love the Pick-um games Very Much. Picking players from the tiers in my opinion evens the playing field a lot more. Keep up the Good Work & ideas in this website. Good Luck to All Capt. Zeke 🏈🏆💰

DKLive is great for keeping tabs on Fantasy Football and all of the relevant action during the games. The graphics are really slick and it updates fairly quickly. Much nicer interface than Yahoo Sports.

Where did you guys find these so called professional writers that give the worst and most bogus information about player. They shouldn’t even be allowed to write and articles for you guys. Misleading people. Please add a setting where we can turn off their opinions on who to play and not. Other than that please keep up the good work on providing information on who gets hurt. I have you 1 Star just because as a new player your writers r doing a good job getting me on the last place lol.

It would be nice to see a feature of player ownership for sports. I know how popularly owned my players are, but it’s hard to find out how popularly owned other players are that I didn’t select. Having a feature that shows player ownership (especially for golf) would be nice to see in the future

I’ve downloaded dk live a few times periodically over the past year or so purely for the notifications and it doesn't work well. I continuously get notifications for actions [happening now] from players i rostered yesterday or the day before. I can’t speak to the rest of DKLive and it’s features so i gave it two stars instead of one. Hope they fix this one day.

The last update 2 months ago broke the My Player update - the program is nice but needs some bug fixes.

I really like this his app alot! It could improve with the play by play real time piece it’s can glitchy and will not update real-time along with the Box Score sometimes it’s in and sometimes it’s out. These things can be improved and I will give it 5stars the next time. Overall A-

DKLive looks great and runs great at times, but im not to sure if its on the nfl as well but the nba points tracker it does not log the players points made just stays at 0.00 when using the live game it will often just crash on me and just stop working completly causing me to force close it and open it again

DKLive constantly reports bad data for NHL fantasy scores by the time something is put out through the DK live I found it to be already irrelevant or useless information. Some days no data will update at all or it will stop showing any live scoring. It seems like it would be easy for DKLive to pull data straight from the Draft Kong’s servers but for some reason it doesn’t seem to do that successfully

This was a good app until the latest update. The my player notifications stopped working for all
Sports and the location stopped for DKLive . DKLive still has updated for the new iOS update the last update was a month ago.

Awesome app. Gives you the news and information you need in a timely manner to make your line up and score the most points. Great at keeping up with scoring on game days.
