The Athletic: Sports News Pros

The Athletic itself is great, app could be betterI’ve been subscribed to The Athletic since 2018 I believe and have loved to see it grow. It has great writers, great coverage, and plenty of content. Well worth the subscription price. However, my issue is mainly with the app hence the 3 stars. Of course there was the recent black main feed issue that has seemingly been resolved. My main issue though is the recent UI change where it has the Teams, Leagues, and Authors one follows at the top. I think when those were listed on more of a side bar, it was much better. I’d really like to see a return to this. Edit: Props to the app developers. I wasn’t a fan of the UI change with who you follow at the top and having to side scroll. However, this recent update has helped fix this with the “For You” tab. Thanks for listening to feedback and implementing it!.Mwelk95Version: 10.3.3

App is a great addition to a superb subscriptionI, like most, questioned the value in paying for a subscription. Do I pay for something I can so easily get for nothing? The answer is yes. The content doesn’t just inform, it helps me understand the game better and improves my enjoyment of the sport. The app flows well. Feeds you the right stories if you’ve selected your favourite teams. Cuts out the rest. Has a clean but suave UI and is generally pleasant to read from. I subscribe for hockey and bball. Worth it for both. If you’re wondering just do it..TheDjdjVersion: 5.3.1

Cancelled subscription yet still get chargedI have had a terrible time getting out of the subscription and continue to get charged by The Athletic. Have no access to site yet charged monthly. I have contacted the bank and nothing has changed. Not worth the hassle.JCam99Version: 13.16.1

Region lockedFirst up, the content is great. Talented writers who cover sport from a variety of angles rather than relying on a steady drip-feed of gossip and boring match reports. That's not my issue. What is very frustrating with The Athletic, and the latest update introducing 'breaking news' highlights this more than anything, is that it relies on your device region settings to promote and highlight content rather than allowing you to set it yourself. What this means is if you are UK based, but want US sporting news you must change your region settings at the device/iOS level to get the content you're paying for. The knock-on impact this has on dozens of other apps on your device makes this solution highly impractical (if not completely useless). Part of the original appeal of The Athletic was that you were able to curate your feed, so you only got the stories you cared about (from individual writer to teams and leagues). With every update (the most recent more than any other) they move away from this ethos and closer to being just like any other sports media company telling its users what they should be seeing and reading rather than giving them the choice. It's worth mentioning that the ESPN app allows you to set region in-app and it works fine demonstrating it's perfectly possible..LeetheOrangeVersion: 11.0.5
