Ratings and reviews

I'm a big fan of The Athletic, especially the football (soccer) content, which I enjoy a lot. I listen to most of their podcasts, but I've had a tough time doing so on the website. The podcasts often stop randomly, forcing me to refresh the page and manually find where I left off. It's frustrating and disrupts the experience. The podcasts work better on Spotify, but there I have to deal with ads since it's not synced with my Athletic account. If this issue could be fixed, that would be great.

I'm enjoying most of the content, but the app is buggy. It constantly flashes a warning that I have no Internet connection, even though I do. That pop up shifts the screen downward every couple of seconds, then returns it, making it very difficult to read. It's annoying enough that I won't resubscribe, as this is how I would prefer to engage with their content.

App was ok but now very buggy. Constantly pops up a "no internet connection" banner which is annoying whether you click on it (it goes away and then comes back a couple seconds later) or ignore it (it goes away on its own and then comes back later). This is a stupid bug that should have been squashed months ago but they apparently do not care about the app experience so that's what you get. Sad.
