Ribbon is gone
In all their wisdom, the athletic has removed the scores ribbon from the homepage and the individual team pages for the teams that you follow. Now you can't see the ribbon unless you scroll to a different area or in the team page click the schedule tab. Garbage.

Best to Worst
Subscribed to The Athletic for years but just cancelled my subscription. Content changed slowly but significantly once The Athletic was purchased by the New York Times. Went from analytics and analysis to headlines and more ESPN.

Horrible App.
Crashes constantly on I-phone. Impossible to read a single article without re-loading multiple times. Disappointing for a paid site. Get the basics down!

Issues
Often issues with the podcasts e.g. They won't play. Atm I can't write any comments I just get an error message. The comment section and formatting and writing texts is pretty rubbish
Android

Just the worst content app experience ever. Terrible commenting system. Terrible recommendation algorithm. Poor notification system. Bizarre content updating and caching. And the itself content just keeps getting weaker and weaker. Looking forward to not renewing.

The app looks horrendous on my pixel fold. Please make your app actually responsive to devices.
