Bleacher Nation Fantasy Reviews

by Hvgvjhgcufyxfyxchffh

Why did they disable landscape mode in the latest update?
As an iPad user, I hate using it portrait style. I can’t use my stand. And why did they change the default splash page? I don’t care about baseball. I’m only on BleacherNationFantasy for fantasy football. It used to open to only my last visited area. Now it opens up to all sports and you have to navigate back to football every time. So annoying. The little changes they have made seem to not take into account many users desires and needs. It’s not like these are edge cases. I’m sure a good deal of of people have the same gripes, but only 1% of us actually take the time to write up a review for feedback. I’ll be back using BleacherNationFantasy just as soon as they fix all these dumb issues. For now, it’s borderline unusable for me. So disappointed.

As far as timely fantasy alerts go, BleacherNationFantasy is king. I honestly think it gives me an advantage over my competitors that don’t use it. The user interface can be a bit glitchy when it comes to posting, and if someone comments / replies to one of your props, good luck going back and finding that buried somewhere in a post with 300 comments. Idk why that element is so wonky.

I write this review at a time when COVID-19 is currently ripping through the NFL and knocking players out. Needless to say, alerts with that kind of news being out some rather unsavory people with their ignorant commentary regarding vaccines. If it’s not that kind of banter clogging up the comments, it’s 15 different gifs of womens cleavage bouncing around.

I’m not offended by these things, I just wish the Fantasy Life team put a little more effort into keeping the comments on topic for those of us who just want to have a decent conversation about who to start it sit this week.

I love BleacherNationFantasy! It has many redeeming qualities, such as being able to openly state opinions and get useful opinions from other members of the fantasy community. The only reason I’m giving four stars is for the looming bugs with BleacherNationFantasy , such as comments getting cut off for being to long. My favorite thing about BleacherNationFantasy is it’s speed when updating news about fantasy relevant players. They have the news out before ESPN, NFL Mobile, Yahoo!, and BleacherReport. Also, on top of that, it is usually more accurate than any of those sources. Love BleacherNationFantasy and can’t wait for more bug fixes and additions!

Definitely a good resource tool when looking for open opinions about handling your fantasy football team. Bug reporting/support contact is available within BleacherNationFantasy and unbelievably fast responses. Of course, when you're looking for anyones opinion and your friend is getting annoyed by all your questions, this is a good alternative. Community is friendly and maintains good sportsmanship, no matter how much knowledge on fantasy football or football stats in general. If you don't know certain stats, trust me theres someone who can fill you in or chime in on any outlook.

Gave 4 stars just because BleacherNationFantasy is almost perfected, ongoing updates and communication with support (devs?) is very clear and up to date within BleacherNationFantasy itself.
When perfected or down to minimal updates, BleacherNationFantasy is definitely is worthy of 5 stars.

BleacherNationFantasy itself is great! I love the advice and updates and trolling the comments haha. My only disappointment is with the fantasy life website. The website itself is slow running but the gear is cool so I decided to place an order after reading ohh awesome speedy service right... uhh wrong! I’ve ordered stuff on eBay that was sent from China that came sooner! It has now been weekS since I placed my order and my package hasn’t even left the store smh. I even had to pay shipping!, and for what?!? So bottom line is I will definitely continue to be an active user of BleacherNationFantasy , but I don’t think I will be ordering anything from the store again, assuming I someday receive my order

Soon as I heard about this new App developed by Matthew Berry I follow weekly on ESPN I had to check it out. First thing I started noticing was they were giving me news and injury reports quicker then my other sources. If you are a true FF head you know how important this can be. On top of that the board is really quick and easy to post questions on advice for flex decisions, etc. I love the click and vote player vs player windows to get an idea on what the majority of other players are thinking. I could write more good things but I’ll keep it short. If you like Fantasy sports. Then you want BleacherNationFantasy. 👍🏻

by JCheatham3

The community of BleacherNationFantasy is fantastic! You can post about your team, who you should start/sit, trade advice, etc and the community jumps in to help your team out. There’s also chat groups of all different categories to help you out with your team or discuss your favorite band. BleacherNationFantasy developers really listen to their users and make sure they get updates and bugs fixed quickly. Last but not least, BleacherNationFantasy breaks news faster than any app out there, giving you the advantage to make that important drop/add!

by RCB1986

The alerts are second to none. Love how all the I do comes straight to one app before most hear about the news. Really good stuff! Also a fun little environment to discuss fantasy football strategy with people who are also ridiculously passionate about the journey to the championship. If you are passionate about fantasy football you need this up. I give BleacherNationFantasy 5/5 no questions even though they have a lot of room to improve and will likely become far more functional and nuanced. Thanks for doing this work!

SUGGESTIONS:

Put a place to support BleacherNationFantasy or pay by donation.

Please create a night mode where the background is black.

For posts/shouts give option to select your league and team bio so you can easily show the community what your team is and the general factors that are crucial to fantasy advice/discussion.

For example, right now you have you type out every time “14 team league, .5 PPR, waiver position/Faab + whatever details in your league”

People don’t add enough information on a whole to make answering the questions more situationally specific. I think people would more likely get on board with posting the info if you made options that directed people to select descriptions.

I had previously left a terrible review for BleacherNationFantasy, the developers listened, fixed it, and now it’s better than ever. A great place to talk fantasy with other likeminded people. Obviously it’s all opinions but it’s always good to hear another’s take on on what’s going on in the world of fantasy sports. You can take polls, ask general questions, or scroll through the previous posts to see what other people are thinking. I’ve received more injury updates from BleacherNationFantasy than the ESPN fantasy app itself. Glad to see it’s back running the way it should be.

You can do polls and ask advice if you’re in a bind. So that’s nice. But let’s say Antonio Brown signs with a team on Wednesday night. He’s a free agent in your leagues. A notification will pop up telling you the news before any other APP. Bam. You now have Antonio Brown for free in all your leagues, because no one else in your league has gotten the news.

It will let you know on game day if a player is limping to the sidelines within minutes of it happening.

Last year I got news that Carlos Hyde was traded. His backup (Chubb) was on my roster for free within minutes. Helped me win my league

App was working perfectly fine until I updated it 4 days ago and now I can’t vote, it says error occurred. I can’t see any comments, it shows there are comments but when I touch to read all is blank. The update today didn’t fix it, please help.

Update: emailed the support team, and they responded immediately and brainstormed via email until it was fixed. The support team was quick to respond, committed, and dedicated to resolving the issue. Thank you Stacy, and thanks Fantasy life app.... I love BleacherNationFantasy. Five star app!!!!

by Dflcommish

I won’t use Twitter (I have my reasons), but that always made me feel at a disadvantage in fantasy football because many of my league mates got the info before me. Now I’ve flipped the script on them, it is absolutely incredible how fast I get alerts now. And what I love is that it’s dedicated solely to fantasy football, don’t have to deal with the rest of the social media BS. Listen. Get BleacherNationFantasy for the alerts, it’s well worth it. You can ignore the posts and props and comments if you like, but take it from “anti social media guy”, you’ll be joining the community and posting comments before you know. I certainly do! Thank you Fantasy Life App, you saved me.

Hands down this is the best app available for Fantasy Football tips and I’m going to tell you why. BleacherNationFantasy gives real time updates at light speed, 10x quicker than ESPN so you can stay ahead on the sneaky pickups that just might give you the edge in your next matchup. Also, BleacherNationFantasy has forums where you can chat amongst fellow comrades of the Fantasy Football life. They makes you feel like you are never alone whether it be getting advice from the hundreds of users or getting support from people going through the same tough times with their roster. The people that use BleacherNationFantasy are truly some of my best friends.

I’m one of those people that doesn’t typically leave a review, but I feel that it’s necessary here. I haven’t had BleacherNationFantasy for that long, but I have been nothing but happy and surprised with it so far! Since the download, I have received every single breaking news faster than my other fantasy football apps (Bleacher Report, ESPN News, etc.). Anywhere from 1 minute to 15+ minutes, BleacherNationFantasy has the fastest breaking news and helps me make moves for my team before anyone else!

I also love the community so far in BleacherNationFantasy. The conversations are educational and fun to participate in! In my opinion, everyone that loves sports will benefit from BleacherNationFantasy in some way.

by MauraS88

Whether you are trying to figure out who to start or sit, who to drop or pick up, or the latest injury and trade news even during every game- this is BleacherNationFantasy for you! this has helped me so much and getting to interact with other members is great also because you can ask for their advice or you can answer their questions. I always find out the biggest news in fantasy football here first and I love having that leg up on other people in my leagues. Please download and turn on the notifications for BleacherNationFantasy- if you’re in a fantasy league you won’t regret it! I stunned people yesterday with how i got my information so early before the 4pm deadline. I love BleacherNationFantasy!

by Rygy612

Do I get a bunch of notifications that I don’t REALLY need? Sure. But the quality:quantity ratio is very good and I’m very impressed that I can get a notification within a minute of it being tweeted. Then 10-15 minutes later I’ll get the ESPN notification and that’s what most of my league has. Gives you a nice head start on the very important notifications.
Also allows you to post polls for start/sit or trade questions, and make sure you’re not crazy for considering making a trade.
For a free app, it has brought me a ton of value and I definitely do not want the rest of my league to find out about it.

by CTOneThree

I NEVER do app reviews but I had to do one for BleacherNationFantasy. It is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting to be able to connect with others to talk about fantasy without trolls everywhere or someone wanting to argue just to argue. If someone disagrees they have almost always have facts to back up their argument. The community is full of people who genuinely care about and enjoy fantasy sports. Plus, I get notified of status changes 10 minutes before my friends on bigger apps. BleacherNationFantasy keeps me one step ahead of the game for fantasy, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about winning their league this year or just wanting to talk sports with other people!!

I downloaded BleacherNationFantasy a while ago and didn’t use it much. I’ve been in the same non ppr league for 8 years now and have always prided myself and keeping up with player news, breakout candidates, and back ups for injured players. I don’t have the same free time I used to and in 5 min on BleacherNationFantasy I can see all the trending new waiver trends, I can write a shout and get feedback on who to start or if a chance is worth it. Even without followers I still get great response. This year I started off 0-3 and decided to use BleacherNationFantasy for all my decisions. I’ve gone 6-1 since then and am tied for first place. Thank fantasy life for the Berry good advice.

BleacherNationFantasy is awesome. This year I heard a lot of the new up and coming Fantasy Gurus throwing shade at ESPN/Fantasy life pros. It’s disappointing to see/hear. WE should all be lifting one another up. The Fantasy Football community is special. We are stronger together! That being said, BleacherNationFantasy is my ride or die. I’ve had a few different apps and sites I’ve used for intel. But all are 2nd to Fantasy Life app. My favorite Avengers End Game actor, Matthew Berry, is a Golden God. Seriously, Matt is the man. Not only great at Fantasy advice but a really good human being. Daniel, StarPhania, Yates and even Mike Clay are a phenomenal team. Lead by Captain Berry. Thanks for what you guys do and thanks for this awesome app. I’m a Champion and couldn’t have done it WITHOUT BleacherNationFantasy. #RealTalk
Thanks again. Happy Holidays.
(Now I’ll go cry cause the seasons over😭)

I was surprisingly into BleacherNationFantasy for a few days after I downloaded it. I posted a few times in one of the chat boards and received quick, friendly, informed advice. However, after the latest update that fixed the ‘double post’ issue, I can now no longer enter any chat rooms (which means I can neither post or read any chats). BleacherNationFantasy also constantly auto-switches my view to the ‘notifications’ tab without me even touching the screen. Great app idea, but thus far somewhat mediocre execution. I really want to give BleacherNationFantasy a 5 star rating, but find it difficult in its current state. I’ll happily update my rating if it becomes useable again! P.S. - Also listen to the FFF podcast religiously and love it!

Update: I just deleted and redownloaded BleacherNationFantasy and it now works! Updating to 5 stars!

by Covika

I LOVE BleacherNationFantasy for 3 main reasons (and you will, too):

1) Alerts: BleacherNationFantasy admin team is on the pulse of the league. You get updates from all the best writers and you WILL be the fastest to the waiver wire (I just beat out everyone in two leagues for Chubb after the Hyde trade). You’ll know about injury updates in crucial-timing scenarios. This works better than having Twitter notifications in for a million writers and it’s faster than ESPN or NFL App notifications.

2) Weekly Reports/Breakdowns: They post route running breakdowns, snap count breakdowns, target share breakdowns, WR/CB matchup breakdowns, scoring odds breakdowns, red zone usage breakdowns, multiple injury reports per week, weather updates and implications, and more. It’s all in simple formats and easy to use. Seriously next-level stuff in a very consumable format.

3) An active, positive community: While I don’t expect everyone on BleacherNationFantasy to be the smartest fantasy football minds, they all care enough to have BleacherNationFantasy. When I need a gut check on how I’m feeling about a trade or want to see if I’m crazy for wanting to start somebody, I can put up a poll or a post and in minutes I’ll have 20-30 votes or several written responses from other fantasy football fans.

Enjoy!

This is the greatest fantasy app because it brings the community together to help each other. Numerous times I have wanted to get someone’s advice on who to start, or a add/drop etc. and the only people in my life who know about fantasy football are IN MY LEAGUE. So why would they give me advice on how to beat them. With the fantasy life app this takes all of that out of the equation because it’s just peers helping peers with no ties to the outcome. It also takes the pressure off the “experts” like Matthew and Field who are bombarded day after day with hundreds of fantasy questions. Sure Field really knows his stuff, but Anyone on BleacherNationFantasy has just as much knowledge as Matthew 😜. I’ve been wishing for an app like this for years and I’m glad it was finally made.
