One of the few bits of journalism I'm happy to pay for. Great coverage and articles on my two favourite sports, football and American football. The NFL coverage in particular is massive and interesting. My only slight issue is navigating the app to find the latest and popular articles isn't always clear, it feels like I'm relying on the algorithm to feed me the articles I want to read. It does a good job in the main though. All in all I recommend The Athletic to folks all the time

Some truly great articles, but to be honest not enough to warrant £10 per month - especially in the current climate. I can't justify £60 for the year at the moment either, maybe offer a lower tariff for "featured b content only" with the more club and sport specific stuff for the full price. It's the sort of thing I'd read for 10 minutes here and there, but not enough to justify paying £10 a month for an app.

Want £ back. . Signed up for trial week on basis of paying £4.99 per month. Was notified yesterday that £59 was taken from my account. I thought I would be paying monthly. Also you get an annoying amount of alerts from the app, but when there is one for an article that sounds interesting if you tap it to take a look you are dumped into list/menu screen and not the article you want to read. You then have to scroll through loads of stuff you don't want to see to find the article in the alert.
