Really like the content but when I get a notice of someone replying to my comment, it doesn't take me to it so I can read it all and possibly respond. Doesn't send me an email for it either like it is supposed to. I have a Pixel 8

The ads are just too much
For such incredible writing, in depth analysis, and coverage, stop with the ads. Its too much at this point. Increase the subscription rate and cut down on the ads. We pay for The Athletic because it IS a premium product. Don't diminish that. Too many ads make the experience feel cheap, no one will pay to feel cheap. Get it together. You are selling out.

How the mighty have fallen
We used to have our own beat writers for all the teams. Now unless you're a top 15 program, you'll get basically nothing for your team 1 star for its sports I guess and the app is fine but since it's content isn't really, solid 2 stars The Athletic really has gone downhill.

Please stop giving me notifications for the PWHL. I can't stand it that there's no way to opt out of these when enabling notifications for the NHL

I enjoy the articles and the conversations in the comments. My only issue is when I get notifications saying there are responses in the comments, sometimes the notifications don't take me to the responses. Please fix that.

From a content perspective, it's a really mixed bag. I subscribe primarily for football (soccer), and although some of the tactical analysis is really impressive, you also get way too much fluff about the big teams and USMNT (so many accronyms as well) to cater for their primary US market. The comments section is a human toilet, especially if this involves anything remotely US-focused The android app itself is ok, but does suffer from bugs such as notifications not tracking you to the article
