One of Yahoo’s biggest draws for customers is its fantasy sports division, and Yahoo’s new Fantasy Sports app brings all fantasy sports together into a single app for Android and iOS. The app lets users sign into their Yahoo accounts, draft teams, and keep track of their teams from any mobile device. Fantasy Sports also gives players notifications about what’s happening on the field so they remain up to date on what’s happening in their league.
One of the big new features of the app is the ability to partake in mock drafts, which allows players to prepare themselves for the big draft day. When draft day does come, the app will also allow players to do the entire draft from their mobile device, and then allow them to manage their team on the go. For now, these features will only be available for fantasy football, but soon Fantasy Sports will extend to hockey, basketball and baseball.
The app integrates technology from Yahoo’s recent acquisitions Bignoggins Productions. Bignoggins Productions has had previous experience with fantasy sports, including their Fantasy Monster and Draft Monster apps which have been used in this new app. The app is available now in the App Store and the Google Play store.
