Adults shouldn’t use this! It is too childish for them!!!!!!
Great app
An excellent application for academic and general informative purposes due to a very eclectic collection of articles in terms of topics and nature, and a UI that both functions quite well without any significant or even minute errors regardless of the breadth of functions the app offers to users, and proves to be quite aesthetically well designed as well

Thanks
Newsela is a good app 😃😃😃😃😃
Question
Why isn’t there a teacher version of the app?
We have to go online to web site every time ?

GREAT APP
Great app
Great site, lame app
This is an awesome website that I use quite often with my students. However, the transition from webpage to app is underwhelming. Our school is in a low income area and many students do not have a computer at home, making the phone app version vital to them. Especially now during the quarantine when school is expected to continue while many students don’t have devices. We use Microsoft for our accounts, and while the option to sign in with Microsoft on the webpage works seamlessly with our accounts, the lack of this option on the app makes it pretty difficult to get students online. They are not allowed to use their personal emails to join our class but they can’t sign in with Microsoft unless they’re on a computer. This should be a relatively easy fix and would make a huge difference for many students like mine

Doesn’t have a specific author search, or a specific book
Newsela is great for teachers and students, but as a student who’s trying to do assignments, this app doesn’t really help me (at all). I try searching for a specific book or author, but all I get is some random books and articles that don’t seem to be related to what I search at all. The app isn’t diverse, and there’s only a few options to choose to search for. Also, the grading here is also really bad. This app is made more for the teacher, rather than the student.

App doesn’t even work
I got this app for an easy access to Newsela, and when I tried to login it kept bringing me to the website instead of the actual app. Even after I login with the website, it just goes to the regular page and when I press the OPEN button on the app, It just goes back to the login. What’s the point of an app if it doesn’t even work? All the Newsela app does is waste your device’s storage and your time which could be used in much better ways than figuring out this useless “app”.

I love it
My kids love it they are always reading it
Good for the teacher, not so much for the student
For all the years I have been using this App, something stays the same whether I was in Middle School or High School; the app works for the teacher. Albeit, it is lovely to read an academic perspective about the world in general -the writing portion is the easiest (ironically)- I am troubled with the quizzes. Recently, many teachers are using this app to simplify their grading, and somehow when you get 3/4 you still get a C as a grade, which does not make sense considering you only got one question wrong.
I hear all the time fellow classmates complaining about Newsela because of this system, it indirectly ruins a student’a grade. In my opinion, there should be either more questions or rounded it up to level the ground for students, since in a normal exam even getting an amount of questions wrong can get you a B, yet somehow Newsela works by passing or failing. No room for diversity in grades. Adding more questions would be a good update to move past from this fail-pass system. Otherwise, the app works greatly and will have to, most likely, continue using it because of my teachers.
