Noggin Preschool Learning App for Negative User Reviews
✓ Cord Cutter miss outUpdate: after the developer response and updating the iPad app it is possible to authenticate via an AppleTV channels subscription. However; the Noggin app for Apple TV does not recognize the subscription and asks you to purchase the separate one. The app is clearly designed to be easy to navigate for kids (which is not the case for Apple TV Channels where you basically need to know exactly what it is you’re trying to watch instead of being able to browse and choose with kid friendly graphics and menus) Its possible to access content but not convenient. They could just fold in the same authentication to both apps. +++++++++++ I had a cable subscription and my kids could use the Nick Jr app to both watch episodes and play games. My login worked across all our streaming devices to watch on the TV too. With Noggin, you can either subscribe to the channel and that will give you access to the tv shows across all your devices but no games or interactive content, OR you can subscribe to the Noggin preschool app, which will give you all the games my kids love and you can watch videos, but only on that app. Since we use a firestick and Apple decives our only option to be able to watch episodes everywhere is with the channel subscription. I don’t understand why they would split this out into 2 separate things. If you’re paying a monthly fee you should be able to authenticate your login on any Noggin app..Version: 50.0.0
✓ 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!.Version: 82.0.0
✓ 🙏🏼Bring back Oobi and Gullah Gullah Island!!!This app is a great addition to my child’s entertainment lineup. Personally, I’m willing to pay for an app that has no ads and safe content. We’ve used it for about a year now and the app constantly has to be restored to show the full content included in my subscription...I’m talking twice a week sometimes. The issue is with the iPad app and the Apple TV app. I wish they’d fix this issue as it’s super inconvenient because I’m the keeper of the passwords in my house and it seems to happen so often, especially when I’m away. Recently, they updated the app and removed two of my daughters favorite shows. Oobi and Gullah Gullah Island. Yes, they were older shows, but they were sooooo good. She is still bummed out about this. Please bring back these shows!!!.Version: 50.0.0
✓ Won’t open on my iPadWe are planning a cross country move from NC to CA and want to make sure this app works for my daughter that is 2 years old. She absolutely love this app but right now it will only open on my iPhone but I will need to use it for GPS during the drive and will not be able to hand it back to her while driving. I downloaded the app onto this iPad as a solution but every time I tap on the app it shuts off after 2 sec of play so I can’t even into it to trouble shoot it. So far the app is a 5 star but I really do need it to work on this iPad, which It does say it is compatible with. So if there is any help on this please let me know what I can do.Version: 3.4.5
✓ App is broken -complicated work around that doesn’t workSo the app stopped working like a week ago. We tried everything to get it going again before I finally reached out to Noggin. Was provided an obnoxious “work around” which worked one time and then the app wouldn’t open again. THIS SUBSCRIPTION IS EXPENSIVE! To have an app that won’t even load when I’m paying this much is theft. The email I got back from support: “We read and review all the comments we receive about NOGGIN and use them to improve your experience and add new features. It sounds like you haven't had an ideal experience and I'm very sorry to hear that! We are working to fix this issue and to reduce any frustrating aspects with the app. Thank you for taking the time to send us your thoughts.” Yeah. I’d say it hasn’t been a great experience. I’m cancelling my subscription and deleting the app from our devices. If they can’t provide a functioning app, I’ll take my money elsewhere. Don’t waste your time..Version: 76.0.0
✓ Conflicts with Parental ControlsThe app is fun and loved by my daughter. However, the recent app update requires loading the noggin and nickjr websites in the background to authentic subscriptions and logins. If (like me) you have parental controls on only allowing certain access to websites, you can’t use the app without whitelisting them. The app will warn you that “Something’s Wrong” and suggest you need to quit and restart the app. After much back and forth with support they guessed correctly it was parental controls. It seems odd I have to weaken my daughters parental controls for a login, and even more odd that this is not disclosed..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Parents Beware Of ContentI 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..Version: 116.0.1
✓ Shifting towards SATAN agendaThis 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..Version: 85.0.0
✓ DON'T SUBSCRIBE IF YOU'RE JUST LOOKING FOR BLUE'S CLUES AND YOU... but the rest is good.UGH. So we canceled cable last week hoping that subscriptions to Prime TV, Noggin, and a handful of others would make up for it, which it mostly did. We planned it all out to be able to watch all our shows. I subscribed to Noggin because I saw that my daughter's two FAVORITE shows were included (Peppa Pig and Blues Clues & You). And at $7.99 a month, having those along with the tablet app with games and ebooks would be worth it WELL.... I went to play Blue's Clues and You on our TV and only ONE episode played. Everything else showed PURCHASE OPTIONS to buy the seasons and episodes?? HORRIBLY misleading. It was so sad that my two year old go super excited to see me selecting her show on TV and started chanting "Blues Clues!" only for me to have to say "no baby I'm so sorry, we don't have it". Life is full of disappointments, little one. Overall the app is good, she loves the games and ebooks and can at least watch Peppa Pig. I chatted customer support thinking this was an error and apparently it's not. They are misleading on purpose is my guess. I'm really considering canceling because it was 50% of our reason to subscribe but she loves the app and Peppa. Maybe it's time to get her into Disney instead :(.Version: 76.0.0
✓ Disorganized appThe 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..Version: 109.0.0
✓ Needs Parental ControlsI would have continued with the subscription if there were parental controls. I got the app for my child’s education but she will only sit and watch the videos and NOT play the educational games. Maybe if the app had something like tokens and if they earned a certain number of tokens then it allows them to watch a video for a certain amount of time. Or just parental controls that can lock them out of the videos so that they will play the educational games. Otherwise the app was great!.Version: 50.0.0
✓ Almost worth itI like the idea of this app. All my kids favorites are on it and some you can’t watch on regular tv anymore. But it still has some bugs and needs improvement especially if you are watching it with the Roku. After each episode we watch it freezes and shuts down and sends us back to the roku main page. If you want to watch again you have to log back on it and go find your place. Sometimes it catches and will play the next episode but that is very rare..Version: 3.4
✓ You’re losing stars...Because I love this app, but I hate the new update and I’m not even having login issues!! I prefer the Moose and Zee version of Noggin, and loved that they were featured currently in this app even though they’re not on the cable channel, and while they are still here on this app, they’re not the stars. Ok I’ll be honest. My kids only enjoy a few shows, namely Blue’s Clues, Bubble Guppies, and me Gullah Gullah Island. That’s what I pay for: access to these otherwise inaccessible (except Bubble Guppies) shows. And now all I get is a few episodes played on a loop. I don’t know if every single show does this, but on these three shows, no matter which season I choose, I get a loop of 5 or 6 episodes. Especially on GGI, it plays one episode over and over and then changes. And damned if I’m going to drop my subscription. I love this app just as much as my kids do. Please let us watch all the episodes!.Version: 4.0
✓ Great shows, but needs an updateLet me start by saying that I’m so happy there’s a huge selection of preschool shows for my boys, but there are a few major issues. First, every time an episode finishes, the app shuts down. Second, when you click on an episode and then back out, it shuts the app down. Third, when you click to open the app sometimes you have to shut it down and open it again to have it actually work. If these issues are fixed this app will be perfect. We are moving across the country from MI to CA next year and are hoping these updates are made before then so we will not have to worry about these issues while driving..Version: 3.4.5
✓ 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..Version: v105.0.0
✓ Not User Friendly and Lacking ContentFirst of all, you do not have access to all shows. The advertisements make it seem as though all shows are available to stream, they are not. (Blue’s Clues and You hasn’t updated in months). The learning games have little to no educational substance. They appear to be nothing more than short videos combined with trivial interaction. Maybe there is a difficulty setting that I did not notice. The app is a complete and absolute headache for multiple devices. Try using it on your Apple TV and then switching to your iPhone or iPad. With children you are constantly switching back and forth but every time I do I must re-authenticate the device. It’s an absolute headache..Version: 56.0.0
✓ Wish there were new episodesThe FAQ says there are new episodes every week. While this is technically true (well, it used to be - there have been no new episodes since the last update ~4 weeks ago), the “new” episodes are actually the same ~20 recycled over and over. Paw Patrol only plays Season 2 episodes (there are now 6 seasons, I believe) and Blaze only plays Season 1, I believe (there are 4). I’m not expecting the newest episodes, an embargo of even a year would be completely understandable, but some variety would be great. We’ve been subscribing for over a year, and I’m VERY tired of the same shows over and over. It’s not worth paying every month just to get the same content..Version: 4.0
✓ Locks up all the timeThe iOS version of this app is absolutely inferior to the Fire TV version. First, the videos frequently lock up and my kids are frequently frustrated with staring at a black screen with a circular arrow spinning endlessly. This only happens on my Apple TV HD but not on my Fire TV 4K. Second the organization of shows is absolute garbage compared to the Fire TV version. The iOS version just displays a bunch of shows in a linear order with no particular set order interspersed with random music videos. At least the Fire TV version has it arranged by seasons so you can consistently figure out how to find the next episodes instead of constantly scrolling until you find the episodes you want. Overall I’ve found the Apple TV version of Noggin to be awful after using it on a Fire TV. Their Apple TV developers need to try a lot harder..Version: 79.0.0
✓ New app design is ADD inducing.The new layout of Noggin is far less whimsical and imaginative than the old one. One of the biggest draws of the old app was its inviting menu music and circular menu wheel where you could only see one show at a time after being greeted by Moose and Zee. This new layout now reflects pretty much every other kids streaming app where you see a multitude of little boxes full of shows and episodes. By offering up many shows at once, it takes away from focusing more intently on one which I think is very important for children’s apps. Not opposed to seeing this app evolve; but just from the icon change you can tell it’s focusing more on the “popular shows” over its original beautiful branding..Version: 4.0
✓ Works half the timeEverything about the app is great! Until it stops working. The first time it happened, I looked up support on the Noggin website and it legit told me to uninstall the app, turn off my device, turn it back on, then re-download the app and sign back it. It works after doing all that but having to do it every other day now, and in the time it takes me to fix it, my toddler loses interest in his FAVORITE shows and goes back to Netflix or Disney+. It’s very irritating. Please fix it!! He loves playing on the app when it works for him!!.Version: 62.0.0
✓ Bring back old showsMy little sister loves noggin and all the shows it features. I’ve been a huge fan of the app and had it before but then deleted it since I couldn’t afford the payments. I recently downloaded it and started my subscription again and I saw that the app took out the old shows like oobi, Oswald, yo gabba gabba, etc... I’m hoping maybe in the next update you can bring those shows back? My sister loves them so much and she enjoys the old shows as well as the new. That would make me a super big fan of this app more..Version: 54.0.0
✓ A bit confusedI think it’s a great idea to have an app for noggin. I don’t have (nor do i plan to have) cable so this is a great app. However, it is difficult to navigate. There should be categorized menus for shows, clips, games, characters, etc. i know it seems like there is if you click the show at the beginning but i always end up seeing every single item bunched together, shows, clips, games, etc. EVERYTHING should be automated for kids, especially the ones that cannot read. It’s good but i think it should be more kid friendly because sometimes parents don’t have the time to sit there and figure out the app for them..Version: 3.4.8
✓ Wants me to pay for multiple subscriptionsTo start this really is a good app for little kids. My 3yo son loved it. I recently cut cable and went a different direction. In doing that the kids lost nick and nick jr. so I thought this would be a good alternative. And it was, until I realized in order to have it on our iPad and out fire stick I have to pay for two subscriptions. Not happening. Why on earth is there not a way to set up an account and log into multiple devices!?! I will not pay almost $16 a month for this. As soon as the month is up I have already paid for through our fire stick I’m cancelling that too. I’ll be posting the same review through them as well. I’m at 100% disappointed in this. Please stop being so greedy. I’ll gladly pay for a subscription when/if this is ever changed. But until then they have lost my business..Version: 48.0.1
✓ Only one star and this review is for the roku appYou need to fix the bugs. I get booted out of the app after one episode. Of anything. Every. Time. This is the only thing my son can watch blues clues on, and it is his favorite show. But I shouldn’t have to stop what I am doing every 15 minutes to fix his TV to put blues clues back on because he is whining for it. Please fix the bugs, and I will up your rating. And I know it isn’t only my roku device because it is like this on both of the roku devices that my mom has and my sister’s roku TV. If you’re gonna up the noggin pricefrom the $5.99 it used to be to $7.99, ok that’s fine, but make it watchable on all platforms that you have before doing so, because otherwise it is pretty much worthless..Version: 3.4.7
✓ Can’t use across devices...waste of money.I signed up for Noggin on the iPad using the integrated subscription option where it’s charged to my Apple account via subscriptions. However this doesn’t sync. Unlike every other App I subscribe to via Apple’s subscription in store Noggin doesn’t support log in on Apple TV for subscribers...the only options are “subscribe, sign in via email (which is not synced to my Apple store email), and create account. There’s no ‘Restore subscription’ option. So I have been paying $7.99 a month for barely any use....I’ve wasted about $24 on this subscription....Version: 64.0.0
✓ DisappointedDownloaded the app to let my 3 year old play the games thinking there would be a free version with less games and a subscription version with more games; well that’s not how they work... you get NOTHING without a subscription!!!? You can get a week free subscription and then it’s $7.99/month after that! A week really that’s crap, just enough time to see if you even like the game really then you have to pay $7.99 a month. Needless to say I didn’t subscribe and I deleted the app and WILL NOT be downloading it again EVER! This is a company out for the all mighty dollar and I want nothing to do with it!.Version: 79.0.0
✓ Won’t let me log in at all to parents sectionUpdate ** thank you for the help and quick reply ! I have no idea why that bugged the app but editing the parental control to allow those 2 websites fixed the issue ! Yay! Will update once we use the app more . App is super buggy possibly- on 2 of our 3 iPads that are all updated the same, it won’t let me go to the grownups section , keeps saying error but on the third tablet works totally fine, for that one the content and everything seems fine so hopefully that can be fixed..Version: 50.0.0
✓ Uhhh... don’t replyHey! I’ve got this for my little sisters on there tablets because I know they love it! A few minutes later while I was watching Netflix they came over to me and said “hey we need to pay for this just to watch an episode (my mom downloaded it and did the 1 week thing. But then she deleted it) so... can we?” I said no. Because I had no control over any money accept my allowance.. and i only get $5 a month so I couldn’t pay for it. My little sisters got kinda sad. Yeah I know you company’s need money. But here is one peace of advice: at least no matter how many days let us FRICKING WATCH 2 EPISODES FOR FREEE! just 2. Please don’t reply cuz ima probably forget I wrote this. Baiiiii ~cocoa.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Money hungryNoticed 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!.Version: 93.0.0
✓ Inappropriate content on this appAfter 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. التطبيق يحتوي على محتوى غير لائق للاطفال يشجع على امور نحن في غنا عنها يعني يسوي اعلانات لمجتمع القس قز.ح في كل الفديوات و كل الكارتون بلوز كلوز و الخنزيرية بابا ف ماانصح في لان المحتوى غير لائق نهائيا للاطفال!.Version: 116.0.1
