It's got good stories and good writers. I also like the dark mode. The behavior of the NYT to THE ATHLETIC transfer link has changed for the negative. Previous behavior opened the linked article (in The Athletic) without further clicking. Now clicking a NYT sports link opens Google Play current on The Athletic app. You have to click the Open button to get The Athletic app. The referenced NYT article is nowhere in sight. Have to search for it.

I've been a subscriber since 2018, and frankly, it's getting harder and harder to stay a subscriber. The content is drying up. A lot of teams I follow don't even have a beat reporter anymore... They just left (Washington Capitals) and were never replaced or got pulled from their beat (Dallas Stars) to cover another team. So, no, I don't recommend the Athletic anymore... Also, they changed their live feed discussion, and it's impossible to read anything during a live sporting event.

Haven't been able to login in 2 weeks. got logged out when NYT messed with an app that was perfect as it was. Then it couldn't connect to my Facebook, but couldn't login otherwise cause my email was associated with my Facebook account. Un-installed and reinstalled, now it just keeps putting me back at the home page. Please fix this, I love the athletic, but this is infuriating.
