After being spammed with ads for about 2 weeks I decided to subscribe to unlock the article. I signed up with Apple, payed for the subscription and then to spent 20 minutes in a loop of logging in and out to get the article without success.

Looks like I’m not the only one giving a one star review, this company sucks, they take your money and they don’t have any customer service whatsoever, stay as far away from them as you possibly can! They send me emails with articles I want to read but I can’t click on them and no one will help you, I couldn’t be more disgusted with this company than I am‼️

Banned from commenting with no reason or warning. Absolute 0 response from any of my dozen emails and Facebook messages. I can’t stand these kind of companies where you can’t ever speak to anyone. Why do they even have an email address at this point??

This company doesn't communicate with its subscribers when favored coverage is pulled. I emailed a suggestion to them about how to handle things better and asked for updates for our fanbase and they have not replied to date. I've been a loyal subscriber for years, now I don't have the content for which I subscribed. No communication. No assurances of improved coverage. They took away the good and left our fan base with nothing. Shame.

Like many others, the Athletic changed me $67.00, with out my consent. Customer Service is non existent, and you can't talk with anyone about billing issues. Stay away from the athletic.

They disabled my ability to make comments without warning despite breaking none of their rules. Horrible, horrible site and they will charge you forever unless you cancel your credit card. Stay away!!!

SCAM!!! Downloaded app, clicked one week free trial, was IMMEDIATELY charged $59.99 for a year subscription. Now have to fight it with my credit card. Don’t get the free trial!

Took my money without my consent. I opened a complaint and they closed it without answering my question. Seems like I'm not the only one to have this issue. They operate like thieves.
