I used it last year for last minute news stuff and it worked pretty good. Twitter's a PITA and it seemed to be quicker to the draw tan anytihng else. I'm on the fence so far this year. Joe's breaking news notices have been faster about half the time and I can't get the app to stay at the default breaking news page. It'd be nice if I could collapse the stupid comments section after every news item also.
Pretty sure there was a thread here with a lot of user opinions on it last year too.

This thing never stopped going off on Sunday, WTH?!
Njoku was Questionable x 1,000 signals to my phone
I like getting updates when things are happening but I don't need some faulty software that repeatedly was sending the injury updates with the same info over and over again
Did this happen to anyone else?

There was an issue yesterday. They acknowledged it and working on a fix. The nice part about them is they have a Twitter account and respond immediately when a major issue pops up. Been using them for 4 years now for our league and the stat tracking and analysis at your finger tips is great.

We used it for the Draft this year, my son's 1st as a Commish.
I was proud to be asked to join and help him establish rules and scoring
He has us doing 2 RB 2 WR TE and 2 Flex which I like in PPR
It's been pretty good and fairly easy to use, but the glitch this weekend was jarring on Sunday

Yes. Everyone was annoyed. It is a smaller team compared to CBS, ESPN, yahoo, etc. but they definitely put all their efforts into just the app and site. Best free app out there right now.

Do they still not allow the ability to enter custom players for DEVY?

Ya Ferguson news was blowing up 16 times on Sunday. It was a glitch.
It’s a great app and we started using it last year.

No, but I do currently have a hand in Google Cloud tools using Python programming developing Datafow pipelines for data streaming in healthcare.
But I get your old man joke. Thing is, in IT you have to stay up with current technology. I plan on retiring next June…..maybe. 40 years is enough.

Kafka or GTFO. I kid I kid. Would definitely be interested in what you’re doing healthcare for use case.

Just one example, coercing DICOM images data of many different data types, such as cardiology, radiology, neurology, labs, etc., using Google Big Query, Cloud Storage, Big Data, SQL tables SQL queries, Python, Java, Yaml, DataFlow pipelines, Pub/sub, TSOP orchestrator, Spanner, Log Explorer, to stream data used by physicians and data scientists for healthcare. Also, not something I’m involved in right now, but development of machine learning AI models used for better diagnosis and treatment. I completed the Google Data Engineering curriculum recently. Funny doing this so close to retirement. Almost seems wasted. I’ve been a Programmer / Systems engineer, now data engineering, for 40 years, going back to those legacy systems and languages, to the most current technology. It’s all coming to an end however.
Edit: The specific use case you asked for: As part of this example and one use of a DataFlow pipeline, is to determine whether counts of changed / deleted DICOM images metadata matches what is in Big Query. This includes both real time data and historical data.

Need more ball bearings?
I give it a "meh" so far,but I'll see as the season moves on
I find the layout and visuals basic and unappealing.

Visually it's not great. It could do with halving the amount of clutter it displays. And it needs a light mode, or to reintroduce the light mode it once had.

It's not wallpapered in banner ads and doesn't make you watch a video ad sometimes when you move to different parts of the app.
Sleeper or MFL are the only host sites worth using anymore IMO. If your league is even semi standard and/or people want to do everything from their phone use Sleeper.
If you have absolutely wild settings and/or your league prefers doing most of their work from desktop/web browser use MFL.

Hmmm, I didn't have any issues with Sunday updates. In fact, I didn't get any player updates concerning injury status. I did get updates on games and scores though. Might have to check my settings.

I loved Sleeper when I used it a few years ago.
And the movie was hysterical also
