Ratings and reviews

Used to be a great app but recently there are a couple of issues that have led me to uninstall and use the website instead. 1. Got rid of the ability to swipe between teams at the top. 2. Including ads in an app that I pay a fee to access, which is absolutely ridiculous. I'll use a browser with ad block instead, thanks. The other thing they really need to improve is they need to add PGA leaderboards. Unbelievable they have PGA coverage but not a leaderboard!

I haven't been able to use saved stories for over a year. The app just shows "saved stories will appear here". I think it's an Athletic coding issue as I just get blank white screens on 2 different PCs and a Chromebook each on 3 different web browsers. I've tried going through customer service but no fix yet. Trying here to maybe get in touch with tech support directly to even try and clear out my saved stories/account and start over.

I have enjoyed using the app. However, recently the homepage is not loading, just get the spinning wheel forever. Other features work as expected. Other users have reported the same issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my Pixel 8A but the issue persists. Update 10/12 - After contacting customer support the issue has been fixed. Thanks!
