Fantasy Life: Alerts + Advice Hack 4.0.9 + Redeem Codes

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!

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.

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.

I was surprisingly into this app 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). The app 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 this app 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 the app and it now works! Updating to 5 stars!

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 this app 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 the app 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.

This app 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, this app 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 this app. #RealTalk
Thanks again. Happy Holidays.
(Now I’ll go cry cause the seasons over😭)

I downloaded this app 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 this app 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 this app 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.

Definitely a good resource tool when looking for open opinions about handling your fantasy football team. Bug reporting/support contact is available within the app 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 the app is almost perfected, ongoing updates and communication with support (devs?) is very clear and up to date within the app itself.
When perfected or down to minimal updates, the app is definitely is worthy of 5 stars.

Love the app. I get news fast and usually beat everyone to waivers to pick up players first and make moves. I love being apart of the community and getting advise from other people that also love fantasy football. My only complaint is with setting up a poll. When others vote on my poll, it won’t show the results unless I myself vote on my own poll. That kinda defeats the purpose, I think. I kinda get why that’s hidden on others polls when scrolling through the feed. It’s to get users involved. But my poll, the one im asking others for help, I shouldn’t have to vote on that to see the results. Im having trouble making a decision, that’s why im putting a poll up. But you have a great app and I’ll be a user to many years to come. Thanks!

I NEVER do app reviews but I had to do one for this app. 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. This app 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!!
