Bigfische 173 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, The Big Bat Theory said: I use the app all the time for the messenger texting in all my leagues. Both for all league-wide chats and individual one-on-one stuff. All trades are usually discussed that way. Also for off line draft picks during the mini-redraft if not near my laptop. During the season for daily line-up changes on the fly. But why would I not use my laptop otherwise? To me the phone app is basically a back-up when you are on the move and aren't near your computer or are too lazy to get up and cross the room to it when someone texts you. So the Yahoo phone sports app is just fine for my needs. True, chat is nice, I'll give you that. For adds, drops, player searches, trades, and that type of action, I just go to the bookmarked webpage, on my phone, not a laptop.

LarsonLarsen 12 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Nobody has mentioned the actual best thing about Yahoo. They hold the money and take no rake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use the website on my phone for everything. I have no problems with the app for FAAB and FAs...trade offers...moving players in and out of my lineup...checking the standings.

I think it's how I like to search stats. There's just not enough numbers/players on sceen at once to quickly look at back and forth to compare. If I was going to look for a specific player, sure. If I'm trying to see who ahd the most steals in the last 2 weeks and cross check that with highest batting average, that's a lot of scrolling all of a sudden.

Agree. Love that feature. I also have no problems with the app. My 2 main problems with yahoo are: 1)being late EVERY year. (still waiting on cash/pro leagues this year) It's always something. 2) They refuse to fix the Ohtani problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Big Bat Theory 7,536 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 They said they would have to re-program their core software entirely to merge a hitter and pitcher. Whoever wrote the original program had no idea of what the future would hold or that he boxed them into a corner where they would have to basically tear apart everything and start from scratch to fix it. Software on other platforms didn't use this blueprint obviously so they could do quick fixes where Yahoo couldn't. But it is getting worse. Michael Lorenzen now joins Ohtani and McKay on the Splits 'R' Us list this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I could tell, customizing on Flea for baseball seemed kinda limited. I'd be willing to give Fantrax another run, but I didn't really care for their interface. But I will readily admit that part of that comes from having played on Yahoo since the 2005 season and just being accustomed to how it looks and operates. I just haven't found one that I prefer over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I started with fleaflicker football in ‘08 played two years with the same group of guys. I only use fleaflicker for baseball been there since ‘15. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KingJoffrey 914 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I thought the reason I couldn’t join pro leagues was because I was Canadian but I guess it just wasn’t ready to go yet. Glad I didn’t get a VPN. Read up on it, they are expensive and the free ones are known to have problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
