The Athletic: Sports News - Latest Quality Issues

I enjoy the articles and the conversations in the comments. My only issue is when I get notifications saying there are responses in the comments, sometimes the notifications don't take me to the responses. Please fix that.

The Athletic Is Dead
NYT ran it to the ground. Articles now amount to puff pieces and rankings. Good to see everyone unsubscribing. Free Saad.

Good app with minor bugs (saved story’s not visible)
Good app with good useability. The only problem that I have is the recurring problem that my saved story's are not showing up. They are not visible, only showing a blank page. Please fix it it's really annoying.

The Leafs loss story was on my feed for days. Like f#©K off already. Give us top general stories.

From a content perspective, it's a really mixed bag. I subscribe primarily for football (soccer), and although some of the tactical analysis is really impressive, you also get way too much fluff about the big teams and USMNT (so many accronyms as well) to cater for their primary US market. The comments section is a human toilet, especially if this involves anything remotely US-focused The android app itself is ok, but does suffer from bugs such as notifications not tracking you to the article

One minor change would make it five stars. When people comment on my posts I get a notification, but when I click on the notification it doesn't take me to the post.

Starting about 2 days ago almost every article I open only shows the first paragraph then shows the paywall blocker to get me to subscribe. Only problem is I have a subscription and I'm logged in. What gives? Can't read anything!

Normally quite decent - unfortunately, HSBC ads seem to be making the text content (you know, the bit I subscribe for) disappear from view whenever I scroll past them. I'd expect advertising to be far less intrusive considering I pay for this content.
