BUT....it won’t let me log in even though I typed in my CORRECT username and password multiple times ### 1/5 — so bad *2019-10-29, version 1.0.5* doesn’t give anywhere to cite sources. i’d really like to be able to use an app & not the website. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-10-23, version 1.0.5* It doesn’t even allow me to reset my password, let alone pair it with my regular online NoodleTools account. Useless and frustrating. ### 1/5 — unusable *2019-10-23, version 1.0.5* doesn’t let you log-in to your google account. ### 1/5 — Wow... *2019-10-21* So I use this app all the time for school, and when doing my history day homework I thought, “ I should get the app! So I can work on the go!” I got it then realized it was for scanning books. 😭 I was so sad! I never have need to scan books and just wanted a noodle tools app. ### 1/5 — Worse than the browser version *2019-09-30, version 1.0.5* This lets you do practically nothing ### 1/5 — No google accounts accepted *2019-04-30, version 1.0.5* I cannot even sign in with my google account so I can NoodleTools it is so annoying. Update it next time for google sign in. ### 1/5 — Google account not supported *2019-04-29, version 1.0.5* There was no place for me to put my school google account and log in. ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-03-14, version 1.0.5* What’s the point of making an app for students that is impossible to log into. I mean common sense?!? ### 1/5 — WHAT A WASTE *2019-02-28* Okay listen, we are using noodle tools right now to right a 10 page Research Paper. I love using it on the website on a computer. it is amazing, and very innovative. huge fan. but i downloaded the app on my phone so i could make citations and do anything i needed to if i didn’t have a computer near me or i could just work on it during my free time. AND I CANT. this app doesn’t let you do anything, besides look at the title of your project. you can’t make a citation. you can’t make a note card. you can’t add to your to do list. you literally cannot do anything besides look at what project(s) you have and are working on. but you can’t work on them. so why even have an app. my teacher said this app would be helpful but you can’t do anything. don’t download this app. it’s pointless. just go on your computer or laptop and work on it from there. HUGE WASTE OF TIME. ### 1/5 — Awful! *2019-02-26, version 1.0.5* I downloaded this app a few minutes ago thinking it would be great to use on the go, but it won’t let me make flash cards or put in my citation sources. This app is pretty much useless🤦‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-02-13, version 1.0.5* My name is Omar and I hate this app. It makes me want to die in a cornucopia. Please god let me die. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2018-12-31, version 1.0.5* The app won’t let me sign in. I can sign in with my email & password on the computer but when trying with the app it’s saying what I entered is incorrect. Have tried it on more than one occasion & cant seem to get it to work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-12-18* I literally tried to work on my project on my phone since I don’t WiFi on my Chromebook, I logged in and everything but when I tried to click on my project it did not let me go….If I could give this zero stars I would…what a waste of time and effort. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2022-02-25, version 1.0.5* You cant do anything on this app. You can only see your projects, literally nothing else. Like the tiktok sound i would give it a zero but that’s not an opinion so im giving it a one. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-09-22, version 1.0.5* School app bad ### 1/5 — Awful *2021-01-29, version 1.0.5* It doesn't let me log in using my google account so I can't even get in. Also it hasn't been updated in 3 years. Doubt a new update is coming. ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother. *2020-11-28* We’re doing a project in my history class and I was hoping this app would work so I could use my phone to do most of it. I got the app and I can’t even sign in because it says my ID and password are incorrect. Don’t waste your time with an app that won’t even let you sign in. ### 1/5 — Oh gosh this is terrible 😭 *2020-10-24, version 1.0.5* Oh my goodness. Just don’t download this. Simply don’t. ☹️quite upset with this app. Deleting soon. ### 1/5 — Horrible. Listen to the reviews. *2020-05-16, version 1.0.5* You can’t do anything! ### 1/5 — Sad *2020-04-04* I am currently working on a historical project, and my partner asked me to check over the sources. My laptop was too far, so I wanted to do check it on my phone. I read a few reviews but still decided to try it my self in hope of the app actually working for me. I didn’t even get to log in. I was so confused by the log in menu page. I thought the ID meant my school email, so I entered it and my school email password which I used for NoodleTools. It would not let me log in no matter what. NoodleTools works perfectly on my laptop, or my computers. I don’t understand how to even get in. I saw many others with similar problems so I really do not recommend anyone to get the mobile app. I’d rather walk more to work on a laptop or computer. ### 1/5 — Completely Not Functional *2020-02-07, version 1.0.5* I have access to Noodletools through my school. I can only log in through my school google account, which is NOT AN OPTION ON THE LOGIN SCREEN! Complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — No support for google apps *2020-02-03, version 1.0.5* You cannot use this app with Google apps ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2019-12-11* Good ### 5/5 — Google sign in *2019-02-24, version 1.0.5* PLEASE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO SIGN IN WITH A GOOGLE ACCOUNT. that’s my only complaint ### 5/5 — Yes *2018-12-17, version 1.0.5* this app is great. btw i am on noodle tools ### 5/5 — Terrible *2018-02-06* Can’t sign in with my google school account. I can only use the website but it’s hard to use it on my phone. Why bother making a app if most people can’t use it for its purpose? ### 5/5 — My Bible *2015-02-10* Without noodles told I wouldn't be where I am today. Don't change a thing ### 5/5 — Hs student *2015-01-20, version 1.0.3* This app makes noodle tools so much more assesible ### 5/5 — Inspiring *2014-10-13, version 1.0.2* So useful, perfect to use in the library! ### 3/5 — Mediocre *2021-10-07* I am required to have this app for history and I haven't have any horrible experiences yet but it's still had and annoying to use ### 2/5 — Makes mobile work harder. *2018-04-04* I do have a computer but for people working on the go, or who only have a phone it’s hard to use the website. That’s what the app is for, except if you logged your google or got mail account to it, then you can’t log in. Since that is how mast school districts identify students it’s really bad for an educational app. ### 2/5 — One change *2015-08-13, version 1.0.3* If I could write note cards it would be help full but I honestly don't see any way this could help me --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
