Like the content but not the rest

Poor app and customer support experience

(My opinion) Criminal Fraudulent Billing Racket…

My opinion is, this outlet is nothing but a fraudulent billing racket disguised as a sports outlet. They rope you in with super small rates, and then rebill you at $80, out of the blue. No mention of that, of course. Oh I’m sure it’s buried in their 9,000 page terms of service, somewhere (good luck find that), but it’s not clearly and reasonably stated ANYWHERE when you signup for the super small rate. Then try to get through to them…lol. Good luck. From what I hear they don’t give refunds under any circumstances. I disputed it with my credit card company and they denied it and said The Athletic provided paperwork that states it’s valid. Of course they did. Any business can create a piece of paper out of the blue. But I, MYSELF, never saw that from The Athletic. (I won’t be using Discover Card anymore, by the way. Thanks for nothing.). Way to protect your clients! STAY AWAY from The Athletic!!!!!!

Subscription renewal

Imagine my shock when after turning off the auto-renewal option for my subscription, my credit card was still billed. Realizing this must have been some sort of technical glitch, I reached out to support for assistance. The automated response was what you would typically expect for this type of issue. Having now paid for another year’s subscription, I figured I’d read some fine journalism this morning. I perused the content of the Athletic and settled on a fine article. Imagine the shock when after the first paragraph receiving the “ subscribe to continue reading” message. So I’ve paid but don’t get access to the content, PERFECT! I followed the steps which direct me to the settings page. The message clearly shows the iOS subscription cancellation on Feb 10,2024, the program has blocked my access( acknowledging the cancellation of the subscription)yet the billing department didn’t get the memo. It shouldn’t be this difficult. It’s disappointing to have to write a review to get someone to actually pay attention. Maybe this will help get the issue resolved but I doubt it. I’m sure there will just be another lazy attempt at customer “service”.

Maybe just a few addition to make the app better...

I love the content, but a few additions to the app would make it a lot more favorable to use. Can we have the ability to: - Swipe left to delete articles out of your feed that you don't want to read - Select authors by location, as well as sport Just a thought....

Unable to log into my subscription account

When I put my information in to log on it says there is already someone with my email address and it fails my registration. I have gone back and forth until I’m very frustrated. Please tell me how I can at least view this site. What am I doing wrong? It shouldn’t be this hard to get into your site.

Frustrating

The app does not retain my subscription information and makes me log in when opening the app. They also don’t update Maryland basketball or football. Don’t offer it as a favorite if you aren’t going to offer timely content.

The Athletic is a RIPOFF RACKET.

In spite of their purchase by The New York Times, The Athletic remains dedicated to overbilling and re-biilling already subscribed customers regardless of how many times you contact them. Their phone numbers are all DISCONNECTED (surprise). The contact info they list on PayPal is DEAD WRONG. DO NOT TRUST THE ATHLETIC.
