## News-O-Matic Reviews in United States

### **--- "No sound!"
Anyone has this problem? There is no sound from read to me or any videos from this app? My other apps all have sound except this app..any fix ? Or had to cancel subscription.
-- T9-9, 2025-03-10

### ***** "It’s very interesting"
It’s very interesting because there is a variety of stories and I like the poll because it asks questions.  Also I like it and they are short and they are easy.
-- Captain Oliver Pants, 2023-08-29

### ****- "Its decent 👍"
I like the app overall. The layout is easy to understand, and the news is fun to read (Yea, Im 13 and I enjoy reading it), but its a bit... laggy. It doesn't crash, but it takes a while to load, and sometimes the videos don't work (Not when a video isn't available, I can tell the difference). I mean no hate to the creators. I love reading the news. Its just a little laggy. :D
-- gumsr, 2023-08-06

### *---- "Sound is not working"
The sound stopped working for both the reading and the video. Only the highlighted words could read when I tapped on them. I have checked and my audio is working perfectly. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still didn’t work. Wrote an email to their support and there’s no reply for 2 weeks!

Very frustrating!
-- Sweeh, 2023-04-06

### **--- "Doesn't work"
It's been months that I've had these problems. The audio doesn't work (yes, I've checked the settings). This goes for both videos and the read to me. This is a big problem for us since my kid is only just starting to learn to read. Also, some of the games in the game section don't work. The articles are good, but these problems make the app practically useless. I'd like to get my money back.
-- Cellopoet88, 2022-10-15

### ****- "Great app, small bugs"
I love the articles this app has. However there are some bugs I would like fixed. Number one: sometimes when I’m reading an article the app restarts me at the top of the page at random times. Number two: on the home screen, the buttons at the bottom of the screen appear a bit off of my screen. Number three: this only happens rarely but sometimes the app Force quits. Overall great app and great articles. Loving the app. Using iPod touch, latest iOS.
-- Luke_Russo, 2022-06-19

### ***-- "Apple Watch app doesn’t work"
Like everyone else, disappointed you have to use the same Apple ID as my kids have their own so they can’t use at the same time.  Also Apple Watch app just spins and never connects.  Still good content.
-- macg0d, 2022-06-17

### **--- "It’s not great."
I am sorry to say but I don’t know why to even like do anything you have to have a subscription you should at least have something for maybe the people who can’t afford it ( i can afford it but I don’t spend it on this) because all your doing is charging parents/kids to pay for this app they may not use that often and stuff like that. Back to what I said earlier what if parents can’t just afford to waste all their money on this app instead of putting towards dinner and food and supplies needed. I truly myself have gotten annoyed and I’m just saying that It is fun to see some of the pictures. Please try to make more free stuff. Thank you.
-- vscopeppapig, 2021-11-03

### *---- "Canceling"
There is no easy way to cancel, that in itself gets one star.
-- Annoying8020, 2021-10-23

### *---- "No sound?"
Read aloud never works.
-- KYy5500, 2021-08-29
