### 5/5 — Montgomery Advister

*2026-08-09*

I look forward to reading the online paper each day. It keeps me in touch with what is happening.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-10-27*

Suddenly, the app has changed so that, even though I am logged in, the app refuses me access to the digital newspaper.  When I hit the button that supposedly gives me access to my digital subscription, I am told I have to identify the type of subscription I have, but there is only one choice.  Aside from the fact that it’s pointless to choose if there’s only one choice, the choice that is offered is 
the print delivery option which I cancelled at least a year ago because I only want digital access.  If I can’t get digital access to a digital subscription, I will have to cancel the subscription.

### 5/5 — Enewspaper

*2025-07-01*

Love the e newspaper because it looks exactly like the print version

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2025-06-06*

The paper has fewer local stories and at times almost exclusive USA Today content. The sports section has deteriorated. No stories on the Biscuits, not even Southern League standings. Comics ruined. An Hispanic strip and exclusion of Curtis in a city 50% Black. Luanne is stupid. Other new strips replaced some of my favorites. I like being able to read the paper on my iPad, but this is not the paper of 3 years ago.
