Fantasy Life: Alerts + Advice 12+

Real MVPs of my fantasy teams

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

1) Alerts: The app 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 the app to be the smartest fantasy football minds, they all care enough to have this app. 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!

Great App, Occasionally Annoying Userbase

As far as timely fantasy alerts go, this app 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.

Great App with one major annoyance and one inconvenience

Ok so I just use this app specifically for the notifications. Fastest roundup of all the reporters/beatwriters in the know. Always the first to get my alerts, and then make my waiver claims. Has gotten me a lot of great pickups. Minor inconvenience: I’d really like a little bit of granular control on what alerts make it to you. Even something basic like only offensive player news. Most leagues aren’t IDP so getting 100’s of notifications over a 10-12 hour day, that could be cut down somewhat if that could be added in. Major annoyance: I use this app with my AirPod Pros in my ears all the time, and I always have to end up silencing the phone/notifications. The notification sound is VERY loud in your ears, it does not follow the system volume level nor the “tone volume” setting from the Accessibility menu.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your review and feedback. We always appreciate the input and I will definitely pass those two suggestions along to the team.
