more This is a great app and news source for keeping up with the state. It’s nice to see something for Alabama not be vehemently conservative biased. There are always timely topics and deep thought put into much of their stories and it’s a great place to keep up with events in the state, since our state isn’t exactly very noteworthy among other apps. All in all, I can’t really find anything to gripe about.

This app has been my “Go-To” source for Alabama news for a long time. Unfortunately the new version has made it difficult to use for that purpose. Seems like too much emphasis has been placed on graphics which takes up much of the headline pages. It is also irritating that the screen constantly jumps back to the top making it almost impossible to read more than just the top few articles. Please resolve these issues and go back to providing easy access to the articles. I appreciate the content, just cannot get to it easily.

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!

Why is this site the only news site that automatically plays loud obnoxious ads when an article is clicked on.....without even touching the ad.Even if the ads weren’t so loud or sooo in your face...
