It could be better
One thing that gets me all the time is that these subscriptions don’t last that long. I feel like that they get shorter and shorter every year and they took off our bottom of my kids favorite TV shows Zack and quack blues clues playroom with you some of the game is don’t even work and it’s a lot of money for something that you used to love I I would just like it if they brought back the old shows fix the games and maybe lower the price a little something I learned is inflation nation don’t make the prices go up make the prices go down and I’ve read reviews about having to pay for some of the episodes of shows that is absurd how go to a five star reading if these things change

This is why you shouldn’t get this if you don’t got no money:
So starting with, Noggin is a cool game and sorta a good watching app. and it’s features are smooth, but if you want blues clues and peppa pig and all those stuff, you have to pay $7.99 a month. AND do some subscription which is basically subscribing. I don’t mind that, BUT YOU ONLY GET TO WATCH ONE EPISODE THEN, it starts asking you to pay for the REST of the episodes, what HAPPENED to noggin? Back then it was free and nice now LOOK at noggin. Real disappointed. Please change the “$7.99 a month to a few MORE months then maybe I’ll change the rating to a four or five. I actually HATE paying for games or ANYTHING ,but if it’s for the greater good, then fine but STILL CHANGE THE PRICES I will ABANDON this game if nothing changes soon. And btw you can’t play without internet. Pls make it no internet accessible! Sincerely, {The Roblox Squad}. (And also if you guys don’t got no cable to the shows, connect ur iPad/ iPod / phone to the tv!) but most of the time it’s gonna say, get a cable and SCRAM! Or, get a cable now! Or, we know your probably hoping to do this, or that BUT PLEASE GET A CABLE! I DONT CARE ABOUT NO CABLE I WANT TO ENJOYYYYYYYY!

*****BEWARE *****I WAS FRAUDULENTLY CHARGED FOR AN ANNUAL PLAN
I bought this app for my granddaughter... she loves it. However when the trial ended, i started a monthly plan. For some reason she couldn't get in after 6 months so I attempted to log in to see if i wanted to re-purchase it for her. My password would not work and it wasn't saved in my iPhone and 'forgot password' didn't work to allow me to charge my password. After several attempts my only option was ACTIVATE FREE TRIAL. I clicked that hoping I would be given the purchase amount. The game started working AND I WAS PROMPTLY CHARGED $75 for the ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION. I never ever requested an annual plan and now my Apple ID is being held hostage until I pay it and hope for a refund. I'M LIVID. I was only willing to pay because it's an educational children's app... didn't think they would rip me off!

Decent app
My son really likes the app but half of the games, books and videos keep giving us an error message saying uh-oh something is broken. We have tried updating his iPad, the app, tried removing the app re-installing the app, deleting the account and starting over. And no matter what we try nothing is working and we are not getting any explanation as to why. I try to even reach out to support through that app the message never loads. When you pay for something you expect to be able to use all of its features. It is the only app on his phone we have any issues like this with. If my child did not like the little bit that he can access I would have canceled my subscription months ago.

Pretty good, but things could go better… by Blake Burns (for his niece; Brinley)
When I first saw this app when it first released, I was overjoyed to see Moose and Zee waiting for me. It was a blast to have them on-screen all the time, letting you know the news, a scroll function, and lots of shows to watch. But now, I almost miss the time when it was like that. Sure, there are plenty of new shows from the modern Nick Jr., as well as a couple of Noggin originals, but a few shows I loved are now gone. Pocoyo, The Upside Down Show, TwirlyWoos, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Allegra’s Window, Blue’s Room, Teletubbies, Robot & Monster, Mofy, and Miffy, just to name a few. Do you think you can revert back to that style soon and bring back the old shows? My little niece Brinley would LOVE to see this. Also, there were some other shows that I would love to see be added, including Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, the classic Franklin, and the modern Franklin and Friends. It would also help to add season 3 of the Fresh Beat Band, as it feels a little bare only having 2. The Backyardagians also have quite a few seasons lost. To summarize it all, Noggin definitely had a lot to offer upon its release, but it has gotten weaker as time progresses. If things could revert back with all shows plus a few others and the return of Moose and Zee would be JUST what the app needs to push its way to 5-star ratings.

Don’t appreciate child indoctrination in your app
I loved this game for my kids at first. It helps me while I am a busy mom working. However I don’t appreciate that you have added the blues clue pride month video. The little girl goes into detail about pride and that it means loving everyone for the way that they are and the different flags. While I agree we should love and be kind everyone, love is not the same as acceptance. These ideologies do not align with my families views and faith, therefore we do not appreciate you teaching our children these things. It is sneaky how you place this teaching into your curriculum, therefore I have discontinued my subscription. Where is the inclusion for people such as myself. Where is the inclusion for Christian’s, Muslims, Mormons and so on who have a certain sense of principles they hold to be truths and teach their family?

Awesome map but I have a suggestion
I just started using this app again today and I only have one complaint. The app is absolutely awesome and the games are as well. My favorite thing is the books they have including Bob books which a lot of apps don’t have that. My only complaint is that you have to download the games when you click on them. That’s a problem because let’s face it, kids wouldn’t even have patience to wait for it to download button long. Would a parent have enough storage space to download all that stuff. I am blind and autistic and use this app for games and books, and my suggestion would be to make it, so you do not have to download any of the games or books, and they could just be included in the app without having to install them after installing the app. That would really help greatly. Other thing that made me subscribe to this app is the price. It’s a lot cheaper than most apps and I do appreciate that especially since my financial situation has changed where I make less money at my workplace. Besides the one issue awesome app and keep adding more to it! keep up the good work, and you guys are Lifesavers!

If you want your toddler to leave you alone, this won’t last you long
The app is great in theory, and has a lot to offer toddlers/young kids. However if you’re hoping to get your kid to sit quietly it won’t last long. There’s a glitch where every third video/game you click on the volume is nonexistent. So they will come yelling at you to fix it, usually requiring an app restart. Cue melt down as you aren’t on the same video anymore. Plan to get peace in 3 minute intervals if you have the iOS app.

Inappropriate content on this app
After checking everything my kids play and try to educate them about what’s appropriate and inappropriate for their age! This app has proven its not appropriate for my kids since they promote L G B T Q Community! kids not suppose to even watch or know about your personal life or preferences!it’s a kid app so they can watch cartoon or play a kid game that’s it! That’s why I canceled it along with a lot of my friends! Brain washing my kids it’s a no! It’s definitely against My culture and religion! But this app dose not respect that.

Parents Beware Of Content
I tried noggin for my five year old daughter. I was appalled at her watching shows on there like Shimmer and Shine. The negative attitude and back talking shortly ensued. When I started watching the show myself I realized why. The characters are that way, not to mention the ‘sorcery’ that is heavily talked about and prevalent in every episode. Also, ‘Santiago’ is heavy in witches and magical spells too. When I started seeing half children / half animals characters, and my daughter asked me what is that, I immediately turned it off and cancelled. Why can’t children just have innocent programming? Why is there always a push on children for these dark themes? Not happy.

Disorganized app
The way the app is laid out is for the most part completely random. You can click where it says different categories (play/read/etc…) but it still just shows you random assortments of content. There is no search function which makes absolutely no sense to me. Every time you click anywhere it just shows another screen full of randomized blocks of content. This app needs to be way more organized and functional.
The content itself is what you’d expect but the app layout makes it frustrating to use.
Also, there is no option to cast to a tv. I’d much rather my child watch the shows from the tv and where I can choose from my phone and then they are not just sitting and clicking new content as soon as one is over. Sometimes that’s fine but sometimes I just want to be able to choose and not have her sitting on my phone/iPad.

Hello, Emmaleigh. We're sorry you're experiencing issues with Noggin and we want you to know we're here to help troubleshoot. Please reach out to us by tapping CONTACT US in the GROWN UPS section of the app or email us directly at support@noggin.com. Thank you for being a valued Noggin subscriber.
If I’m being honest I only wanted to see what they had.
I really just wanted to see the shows they had on here that I watched like 10 years ago and I wasn’t too disappointed. I was a little disappointed when I saw that there was a baby shark show. I don’t think that people even care about those stupid little sharks as they haven’t been relevant for around 5 years now (forgive me if I’m wrong) but I’m very happy to see some nice shows on here such as (ORIGINAL)Blues Clues, the Wonder Pets, Ni-Hao Kai-lan, the Backyardigans, and Max and Ruby. I can’t give it a higher rating than this because I probably won’t ever use this app for a while, if ever. So goodbye now. I’d recommend showing your kids the ones I listed above since they’re the only ones I ever watched and liked.

Good idea, bad execution
My son got really into the older blues clues and this was the only place I could find it to watch. You can’t cast, only use airplay, there’s no auto play and it takes you back to the top after each episode so you have to scroll (a lot) to get to the episodes you haven’t watched, it is also very glitchy, sometimes no sound, sometimes it just cuts off and when you go into the app, the episode restarts. I really wanted to love this for him but $8/month is too much for such a buggy/not usable app.

Do Not Subscribe At All!
So it was just a normal day for me than I asked my grandpa if I can watch noggin on the tv but than when he subscribed the next day I asked him the same thing can I watch noggin on tv then it said you are not subscribed I was so so so mad because I really was in the to watch my shows on noggin apparently not so i suggest using Disney+ because I think it’s so much better than noggin because it saves your information and yeah.

Money hungry
Noticed I’ve been getting charged twice since September! I’m not understanding why I had two active subscriptions for my daughter. I signed up for one. I had to update my card at one point but still don’t understand how I had two active subscriptions. It’s almost like when one payment failed and I updated my card it active a new subscription and renewed the old one! They had no problem charging me for both. But when I canceled one subscription both deactivated! I’m so frustrated with this app. My daughter don’t even like it using it because I have to still pay for everything on it!

Can’t delete data
I like the app and the streaming service, but we don’t keep service all the time. When we don’t have service, I can’t delete all the things my children have downloaded on our devices. It simply locks the app with GBs of stuff downloaded. The only option is to delete the entire app, which I assume the developers wouldn’t want because out of sight, out of mind. But I guess it’s getting deleted because I don’t want all this stuff stored on my phone without a subscription. Weird oversight, IMO.

Great Asset
Noggin has been a great asset for my three year old and he loves to explore the app, themes, complete missions, and various features everyday. I can access content on all our iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, and AppleTV all for only $7.99/ mo. We get monthly progress reports and more to track and continue the learning outside of the platform.
To put it into perspective, Noggin has been instrumental during Covid-19 and even now. I love how it has fresh educational content to help your child grow and be happy. I love how the platform offers books (read loud or read to me), sing-a-longs, favorite characters, interactive games, and a wide variety of educational activities to teach and entertain children. My son loves Noggin even more than ABCMouse and he has learned so much more than the average 3 year old. His comprehension level is that of a 5 year old. He has started reading, knows basic addition and subtraction, can tell you how to make different forms of electricity, can spell out words, and so much more. Definitely a game changer in our household.

Shifting towards SATAN agenda
This was once a family app with learning. Now most of the fun songs and music videos are gone.
Instead of the loving episodes, now there is mostly Halloween and spooky programming.
As a Jew, we do not participate in evil “holydays”. It would be better to see the content without agendas.
The free Nick app has wayyy more episodes of blues clues in the current season. This app only has a christmas episode of season 2 blues clues and you but had at least 2 more that were removed without notice.
Bring actual education programs for preschoolers instead of a ton of empty content to push agendas. Most content on this app is way too fast for preschoolers. Blues clues and sometimes bubble guppies are actually the better parts of the app because it doesn’t so much negatively effect the attention span of the viewers.

Not for Blue’s Clues’ fans!
The only program my daughter (2.5yo) loves on Nick Jr is Blue’s Clues and You. She caught it one day at Grandma’s house. In a tense moment, my mom resorted back to a show that had brought her own kids joy. So I tried to keep that going at home, but we don’t have cable and had no intention of subscribing. We tried the Nick Jr app but could only access one episode a month. Annoying! Then we saw the Noggin app. It looked like we’d have to pay for access but that was fine. She’d be able to access all 30+ episodes of the show and I had no problem paying for that. Except no. We only get a handful of episodes. Why? I get that this show is great and Angela Santomero deserves her coins but come on! Is BCY such a premium show that I have to pay $20 a season instead? Please bring all of the episodes to the app!
