Boo!

I used to enjoy reading everything but now that you are charging to read most articles I’ve almost decided to delete my app. Plus football season is here and it will be nothing but football from start to finish. Block those articles!

Subscription Etc

I have no interest in paying for a subscription. I don’t know why you can’t just use ads like most everyone else. Also I really don’t like now having all the sports related articles all grouped under “Sports”. This needs to be broken out into smaller groups. I continue to look for other ways to get sports information.

The absolute worst website!

The absolute worst website!

Useless website

You are a useless website. You only allow about 1% of the articles submitted to be read by people who don’t see any value in an overpriced subscription.

Great local news

Great writers and articles with AL.com and good local news on our community. I suggest everyone with any interest in our community subscribe
