User Reviews

Noisy Book is viewed as a fun, kid-friendly read-aloud tool with classroom potential, but its appeal is limited by recurring issues. Reviewers repeatedly request more varied sound effects, and many report audio output problems or instability when saving, reloading, or using external devices. Transcription accuracy is mixed, with some praise and some misrecognition. Overall, the app works for some users but needs improvements in audio variety, reliability, and voice recognition to satisfy a broader audience.
Pros
  • Generally positive and engaging for users, including families and students.
  • Considered suitable for classroom read-aloud activities.
  • Transcription feature is praised by some users.
Cons
  • Lack of sound effects variety; users want more and different sounds.
  • Frequent audio output problems, including no sound or wrong output.
  • Reliability issues: saving/reloading failures and occasional app crashes (including Bluetooth-related crashes in classroom setups).
  • Inconsistent transcription accuracy across users.

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
