Yahoo Fantasy app gets a refresh just in time for the season
We've given your favorite fantasy app a little refresh so you can play faster, smoother and smarter. With today's update, the Yahoo Fantasy app is refreshed and refocused. We've made it easier to see more leagues, more players and more of what matters most. Setting lineups is easier and navigation is faster so nothing slows you down on your path to the championship. Here's what's new: 1. Updated Homescreen As you play in more and more fantasy leagues, you'll see more matchups on the screen at once — up to 50% more are in view at all times. We've also made it easier to go directly to your matchups from the home page. You can tap anywhere in the matchup preview to take you there. Or, if you want quick access to your team page, tap 'View My Team' and it will take you there! 2. Updated Navigation and Padding Across the App You asked for more data on the screen, and we listened. We tightened up navigation, reduced padding between elements, and freed up more space across nearly every screen to give you more info at a glance. 3. Starting Players Grouped Together All starting players are now grouped together at the top of your Team screen. You can see your full starting squad without benched players breaking things up by position, making your lineup cleaner and easier to manage. It's the same fantasy experience you know and love, just better. Enjoy the refresh and may the odds be in your favor come draft day! Fall Refresh marks day 18 of our 28 Days of Fantasy. Follow it all here.
