Top Pcmac Reviews

Sorry I updated the app!🙁

By LoveTheLORD7 (Pcmac user)

This news app was perfect for me until I updated it recently & made me sorry I did. Now while reading the articles, as I am nearing the middle or end, it keeps jumping back to the beginning! I have to keep scrolling back continuously to the section I was reading! That so much takes away the joy from reading the articles. Why is it doing that?🙁 Then I was surprised they took away the little animated piece (with the dog & ball, etc) they had when you pressed the app! Now it just says loading.... If I had known it was going to be a problem reading the articles - since it keeps scrolling back to the top automatically - I would have NEVER updated it! Can you please fix this?!? Why do supposed updates make things worse instead of better? The articles are still great but how can they be read & enjoyed if it automatically jumps back to the beginning?!? Again, can you please fix this?
Really? C’mon.

By ProfessorPurpose (Pcmac user)

This seems like a truly great idea. I’d love to find out what it’s like, but you really can’t learn anything about it without signing up and getting on a week trial plan (which auto-renews if you don’t remember to cancel). Pretty cheesy if you ask me. I suggest they let an interested person access a basic level just to look around, say 24 hour access. I suspect they’d get many more people to have a look. I’m certainly not interested in signing up and then having to worry about canceling later. What a turn-off. It’s kind of like going to a nice hotel but they won’t even let you in the lobby to look around without giving them your credit card. A turn off. I hope they’ll reconsider this. I was interested. Now I’m just irritated.
Happy subscribers for years!

By applyrevu (Pcmac user)

We’ve loved subscribing for years. The human recorded readers and story choices are my favorite parts of this app. It’s really a multi-media daily newspaper. Three reading levels for each story make it work for most students. You create a user profile for each child/reader. The slideshow and video with most stories are rewarding. Text reader apps can be hard to understand, but a real live News-o-matic staffer reads each story in each reading level. I used it for my high school students with language disorders. My son with son with autism thinks it’s “cool.”
Best App In Town

News-O-Matic, more like News-O-Magic! This app is an amazing source for kids and adults alike. As a serial nanny, I am always looking for funducational ways to engage with the children I’m working with, and this is it! Informative and fun, this is an app kids want to “play” with. One of my favorite moments of 2018 was when the kiddos asked for time on the app and took turns picking and reading articles to each other the entire ride home. Great tool for motivating young readers and connecting them with the world at large. Services like these are so important, and we are very grateful for News-O-Matic.
