Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of people have used our live draft software to host their fantasy drafts in real-time. The number one complaint we saw was that the Java plugin made it a huge pain. Plus it didn't work on mobile and tablet devices.
That's about to end.
Today we're opening up our new live draft room for testing. It works on any device—no extra plugins, apps, or downloads required.
You can try it out right now, by playing in a mock draft: NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. To learn more about what's new (and what's coming soon), read on.

How You Can Help
Please try a mock draft from one of the links above and let us know what you think (or E-mail us directly at info@fleaflicker.com). Because this is an early release, you may even encounter some bugs. With your help, we'll have everything fixed in just a few days.
On an iphone the screen layout is not great. Less is more. The draft order and roster info should be hidden/expandable or on another tab. On a tablet with more realestate it's ok, but not on a phone. Maybe the bar that says who picked, who's picking, and who's on deck can also tell you how many picks until you're up so that the order is less important.
Also scrolling through the stats/players works ok on the tablet but on a phone if you're trying to scroll down the window, it's easy to inadvertently start scrolling through players. This would probably be better if you could condense the screen content so there was no need to scroll down on the phone. Maybe reduce the functionality on the phone to the essentials.... Most people drafting on their phone probably don't need to chat. Or, maybe have an option for a reduced functionality interface on smaller devices. Idk. Liked it on the tablet otherwise.

I agree the UI could be more friendly, but I'll just be happy it works right now.
