The Athletic: Sports News - Latest Quality Issues

Android

Great sports writing and option to see scores and real time updates. Ability to comment on articles and games in real time. Comment sections are too often a toxic wasteland, but sometimes there are good discussions.

App unusable now

This app has become unusable - the privacy/marketing settings pop-up displays when you open the app and will not go away no matter what you click. Unsubscribing until fixed!

Android

You can't zoom pictures. Surely the developers can sort this out?

Great app… a bit less user friendly

I switched to this app due to the new BleacherReport update. Great app for the information, but the UI could be a bit more user friendly. Overall good app

Not Recognizing subscription

It clearly has my account info but then doesn't give me access to articles & nowhere to log in? But I can log out - how do you log out of an account you apparently don't have

iOS

Have to pay

It's a good app I only have it a 3 though because half the articles you see once you open them you can only read the first paragraph unless your a “subscriber” I don't know how much it costs but I got tired of getting notifications and opening them just to not be able to read them so I deleted the app

At one time, this was a 5 star service. But the cuts to coverage for any teams that aren't the biggest markets has made a massive difference in quality. Podcasts are great, and coverage of the major teams is too. But the fact you can't even get any articles, let alone gamers, for small teams is actually crazy for an organization that sees itself as providing the best sporting coverage in the world.
