Domestika vs. Renaissance myON

Domestika is very well-suited to the business and creative worlds today. They offer relevant, good quality courses.. Why they've chosen to use fraudulent business practices doesn't make any sense to me since they have a good product.

myON is a good program for all students in the middle grades. Using the suggested readings, several of our EL students have increased their vocabulary as well as overall reading proficiency in English by at least 1/2-1 grade equivalent within a school year.

• Their art videos are exceptional.
• Their marketing courses are relevant and contain useful content.
• Their AI courses are also informative.

• Helps students gain comprehension by suggesting reading materials at their level.
• Because the program has the capacity to read to the students, they get a to hear a good role model which helps develop fluency and accuracy in their reading.
• It is easy to access and helps keep students on track with their reading goals.

• They have fraudulent business practices:
• I canceled my subscription after the first year. I have an email that my subscription was cancelled, my account also says the subscription was canceled, yet they charged me $349 for renewal.
• I originally paid for a one-year subscription via PayPal. Although I canceled the renewal before the term ended, the company bypassed my PayPal account entirely and charged my linked credit card directly for a second year. Because this transaction was processed outside of PayPal’s system, PayPal has no record of the charge and cannot assist with a dispute. I am reaching out to resolve this unauthorized direct charge immediately.
• They make it difficult to connect with customer service. It sends you to statements that basically say they don't issue refunds. It's very dicey how this is set up.

• I could never figure it out.
• Students levels from their STAR test did not translate into the books suggested on myON.
• The platform is cumbersome and inaccessible for students and teachers.
• I am fairly tech-savvy, but I could never navigate through and understand how myON worked. Eventually, I gave up and switched to Epic.
• The book selection was poor. Only the non-fiction books were interesting to my students. None of the popular titles and authors were available.
• It was a big disappointment and frustration for me and my students.

I am giving them a 1. I can't get past the fact that they charged me for a second year even though I didn't renew my subscription. I have access to all the classes I purchased, and that's all I need. I can't give you any more positive feedback than I have because I'm so disappointed in how they handle customer service. Thousands of people have had the same experience.

I believe this product provides students with faster and easier access to books. This increases their time spent on task reading. myON reader is a product that is great for students and teachers.

If there are any issues and concerns while using myON, there are many help resources available to offer assistance.

myON Reader works so well with the rest of the Renaissance Platform. This consistency is great for everyone!

I have reviewed 4 or so products, and most of them were very positive and useful comments.

All the Renaissance products are so user friendly and have the ability to fit into any educator's classroom needs. [Renaissance] myON [Reader] goes hand in hand with Accelerated Reader and easily links the quizzes for the students to access. My students have stayed so engaged while reading/listening to fun books on different topics for class. They love the fact that they can listen to the books while following along in the digital book. This helps my struggling readers have success.

• I am an entrepreneur and need a wide range of business skills; their courses are well-suited to my needs.
• I found that the courses addressed my social media, AI, and content creation concerns.
• I'm looking forward to all the classes I purchased. It's everything I need in one place.

• Students continued to read on their level and were motivated by all of the books being an AR book with a quiz and points to earn.
