Journalism at it’s finest

Brilliant, in depth news and reviews, stories lost between the sides of the couch, and up to date, behind the scenes news. The Athletic is a refreshing and informative way to catch up on everything sport has to say and a brilliant alternative to the shoddy newspaper journalist, with the click bait headlines. Haven’t bought a newspaper since subscribing, brilliant value!

Content is good, navigating the podcasts section is terrible

While both the written content and the available podcasts are generally very good, the podcast section is terrible to navigate (and this is what i use the app for mostly). While I like the idea of being able to filter the available content to your personal preferences, the way it’s implemented here frustrates me constantly.

For example, there are several sections on the podcast homepage which I am never ever going to go to but I can’t remove them (eg baseball, fantasy sports). And conversely, when I go into the NBA section, I can’t even see how many of the individual teams actually have a dedicated podcast at this point, let alone browse them, without having already selected them in my feed. Maybe my way of using the app is atypical, but I personally find it incredibly frustrating, hence the low score. It may suit others perfectly, who knows?

Edit - update. I’ve dropped another star as they seem to have decided to double down on the issues I had with the podcasts section. It’s much worse now.

Podcast Tool

The Podcast platform on the app is terrible and I find it very frustrating. Many times when you pause in mid pod, when you press play it reverts to the beginning again, it’s not user friendly and podcast are hidden away now. These previously were on bottom of the home screen and easy access but no longer.

The rest of the app is very good and navigates well but the Podcast needs a lot of work!!
