User reviews

Advertiser review

Advertisers should consider subscription required to view

AL.com

I’m not loving the new layout. I’d like to see all the headlines on one page. Then I can click on the ones I want to read. Right now I have to do too much scrolling and swiping. Look at the WSJ or other newspapers.

Sad

It seems by reading previous reviews you have gone to blocking stories to demand subscriptions to read the articles most wanted. I liked being able to read high profile stories as well as small columns. But is it really worth the cost? So far I’ve chosen not to subscribe. Sad.

Our State

I sure enjoy your articles about what’s going on in our state.
Thank you.

Content

AL.com is so Left Leaning there is no way I would ever pay for the content that blurred. My friends have expressed the same views. Balance your coverage and you may get more subscribers. Not everyone hates Trump and Republicans and I’m not a huge Trump fan either. Carol Robinson is basically the only person that I read on AL.com that seems normal. Thank you for listening.
