They charged me for a one year auto renewal for 59.99. I had it for 1 month the year before for 9.99. I never had a one year contract so hw could there be an auto renewal. I have not been able to talk to a human. Just got a form e mail back saying no refunds. And no phione numbers work. Was apparently bought out by New York Times. Enough said.

I appreciate that people have had problems with auto renewal. I cancelled early once and then got a better deal. It took a day of pestering them but eventually I managed it. It's a shame because the content is really good and the app is very user friendly, it's well worth paying a small amount a year for such good journalism. They spoil themselves with the customer service though which doesn't make sense. The products good and if the price is right it shouldn't have to be that way.

They have a openly homophobic "pundit" writing Fantasy Premier League stuff on their payroll. The man in question is on Twitter @FPL_Salah

Terrible business practices. Charged me 3X what I paid the year before and wouldn't let me cancel. They don't care about loyalty, they just want to steal a few extra bucks out of you and move on to someone else.

I have been trying to cancel my subscription from these criminals for almost a year. They say they can’t find my account to cancel it. Don’t do it don’t get this subscription. Be the worst thing you’ve ever done. I’m probably going to have to cancel my bank account because of these people.

FRAUDULENT COMPANY. NO WAY TO CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION.

Great journalism but technically, they don't have their act together. Can't get any email notifications and support just stops responding after a while. Of course, they refuse to give any sort of a refund.

As per everyone else on here I've been scammed by The Athletic. A business model based on duping the customers through dishonest auto-renewals that you didn't ask for and then can't cancel is simply fraudulent. Feel bad for the journalists who may not realise they are working for what must be one of the least customer-friendly organisations out there.
