### 5/5 — I put only five star so people could read this, but I have a big problem And some ideas

*2026-01-17*

We have one problem here one every time I use VoiceOver on this app it sounds so weird like there's a big microphone and I want to add voices laughing and other sound effects music and games on it so we can actually have more variety. It's just making stories and then doing nothing with them. What's the point just make it and do nothing why don't you have a little competition like a friend game like noisy book game maps where you make a story see who makes the best one and whoever wins gets more points to the noisy book leader boards, which that would be awesome

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-12-06*

They barely even make no effect when I was reading it didn’t say like background noise for the one if you give a mouse a cookie I gave this one card because it is not a good app for you guys to use

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-09-16*

I love this app I just would like it if you mad a little bit more sound effects for when you don’t need sound effects like music in the background but I like that your app if completely free so I would really recommend this app a lot!!!

### 3/5 — Eh,ok

*2025-07-24*

So the reason why I say ok is bc whenever I save it it’s not saved and it restarts all over again and I wish there was more sound effects and also whenever we read it always says the wrong word when we read and no offense but like it’s cool but there stuff that I don’t like bc what I said and I really really like is that they are blocking bad words so that’s good but overall it’s a good app but there is stuff you need to fix

### 1/5 — Not that good

*2025-03-03*

It did not make one sound

### 5/5 — They need more stuff

*2024-11-07*

More words that they can react to suggest the lunchroom they should make noisy lunchroom sounds or let’s say an airplane they should make airplane sounds or an animal roaring .

### 1/5 — This doesn’t make any noises

*2024-09-21*

I tried it and I didn’t hear anything it is a bad app

### 4/5 — Ok but can be better

*2024-09-11*

I give it a four because at keeps making the same noise over and over and over aging at it’s gets really annoying when it’s does it for a while.

### 4/5 — Ok noisy book

*2024-04-04*

Noisy book is pretty awesome but it doesn’t pick up the right words

### 4/5 — Good app

*2023-11-23*

I wish there were more sound effects. 
But overall it’s a great app😊
