Soomo Reader 4+

The app has so far worked fine for me as i am able to read my text and easily access the contents. The only inconvenience is the highlight option isn't available which puts my at a major learning disadvantage when i’m on the go and have to use my tablet. Hopefully this will get fixed soon

We’re excited to announce that highlighting and note taking is now live in the latest version of our app for most courses!

I rarely rate apps poorly or at all, but this is a disappointment. An education app not having a ‘read to me’ function after seemingly years of saying it’s in the works is ridiculous. Textbooks costs way too much money for them to not have an accessibility design.

To note- it should be possible to listen to the text while having the app in the background. I would pay for this app if I could do that. Whoever is developing this- you can make more money by adding that and just charging a one time or monthly fee. I’d hate to buy it but I would to have access to a listening function. There are a lot of people with disabilities that need this.

We appreciate your feedback, and we’re actively working on a Read to Me feature for the mobile app. Accessibility is a priority for us, and we value your patience as we improve the app to better serve all learners!

My app wasn’t working so I deleted to download it again. Only to find out it is now a different app. So I have the old app in my phone and the new one in my iPad and thank God I didn’t delete the old one yet because I NEEEEEEEEED the “read to me” option which is NOT available in the new app. I don’t like it at all. That is how I got my work done. I can’t always have my laptop to read it to me on the webtext and my phone is distracting which is why I used my iPad. I’m being a little animated here but seriously, work on this asap please. I do not have the blessing of being able to concentrate while reading. I end up reading the same sentence 100 times. I need that “read to me” option.

Thanks for your feedback! That's a feature we're working on and I'll share your comments with our team so they know students are excited to use it.
