Best app that keeps kids interested while learning. Use this for language therapy as well. -- Cslislp, 2020-12-31 ### **--- "It’s my fault" It’s my fault because I just glanced at the description, but this app has ONLY 18 *WORDS*. Period. It is a lovely app for those 18 words, really it is! But did I mention the app has only 18 words? When I glanced at the description somehow my brain thought “18 LISTS of words”. Nope. Like I said, it’s my fault for not reading carefully, and the concept is amazing, but I can’t give more than 2 stars because of the lack of a decent core of words. 😕 -- ALS_reader, 2020-02-01 ### **--- "Great app" Let me start with I have used this app many years and loved it. It introduced many children with ASD to the world of actions. However with the new and improved version. I am no longer able to open the app . It goes from booting up to blank. I’ve rebooting ot several times. I have the new versión 11. So I give it two stars for the memory of what was. Ps when it works its worth 5 stars. -- Informed consumer. 101, 2018-05-03 ### *---- "Wasted Money" Did I seriously just pay $3 for 18 words in a box?!?! This app didn't even entertain my child for 2 minutes... then she asked me to delete it! Waste of money! -- KMom4912, 2016-12-05 ### ***** "Love want more" This app is great!! I keep looking for more sets of words. Pleeeeease make more sets -- legofamily, 2016-01-29 ### ***** "Awesome" This app makes my 3 year old giggle like crazy. Although, after a couple of months, I think he is growing a bit tired of the same words. Time for the developers to release new ones. Maybe as an in-app purchase. -- Toadsch, 2015-06-01 ### ***** "It is ok to play with your words!" Noodle Words HD - Action Set 1. What a joyful and just plain fun app to teach action words and basic iPad skills. This is not a flash card or drill game....it is learning by literally playing with words. For example, the word stretch can be stretched and then snaps like a rubber band across the page. The word sparkle, lights up and sparkles! And if that isn't enough, you have two delightful bug hosts, acting out the words to help reinforce learning. Skills such as dragging and dropping, using both hands to shake things up, and using fine motor skills to pinch and pull words apart is presented in such an original and unique way that it helps kids gain meaning to words and retain what they are doing. This is certainly an app that helps bridge using letters to form words. There are no ads or IAPs- and this is one of the few times that I wish there were as I wanted more. Highly Recommended. -- bajebooth, 2013-11-10 ### ***** "Noodle Words HD - Action Set 1" I was a little nervous to get my son this app as I was not sure what it would offer him or if he would enjoy it. It turns out he is LOVING this app! The little bugs that animate the words are cute and he loves seeing them interact with each other and act out the words (spin, jump, and other action words). He has many fun games and books on his iPad but he has been going back to Noodle Words since I downloaded it earlier this week. If you have a child who is learning vocabulary words and may be reluctant to work with action word flashcards, like mine is, this is a fantastic app for letting your child work on his own, but still getting great words practiced both to hear and to see the spelling. -- Hegherardini, 2013-11-03 ### ****- "Love it!!!!" Worth every penny!!! MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Momma pants, 2013-05-10 ### ***** "Great" Really love this and so do my students but I too would love to see more sets or other new apps that use these cute bugs to teach and entertain! -- Blondchick12, 2013-04-26 [View all Noodle Words reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Noodle Words Discovered Keywords - noodle words ## Apps Similar to Noodle Words - [Fuzzy Numbers:Pre-K Foundation](https://apptail.io/app/fuzzy-numberspre-k-foundation-YqNd/united-states) - [First Words Japanese](https://apptail.io/app/first-words-japanese-nxAe/united-states) - [Reading for Details II](https://apptail.io/app/reading-for-details-ii-lzSe/united-states) - [Reading Comprehension -Grade 3](https://apptail.io/app/reading-comprehension-grade-3-yoZe/united-states) - [NYS US History Regents Prep](https://apptail.io/app/nys-us-history-regents-prep-hydf/united-states) - [AP US History Prep](https://apptail.io/app/ap-us-history-prep-jydf/united-states) - [DoReMi 1-2-3: School Edition](https://apptail.io/app/doremi-1-2-3-school-edition-sotj/united-states) - [Kalley's Machine Plus Cats](https://apptail.io/app/kalleys-machine-plus-cats-umBk/united-states) - [Prepositions by Teach Speech](https://apptail.io/app/prepositions-by-teach-speech-uKbl/united-states) - [Pronoun Heroes](https://apptail.io/app/pronoun-heroes-HObl/united-states) ## Noodle Words Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/australia) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/canada) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/russia) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/brazil) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/japan) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/singapore) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/colombia) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/egypt) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/hong-kong) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/indonesia) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/india) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/iceland) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/lebanon) - [Sri Lanka](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/sri-lanka) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/madagascar) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/north-macedonia) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/mexico) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/malaysia) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/pakistan) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/saudi-arabia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/thailand) - [Tunisia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/tunisia) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/turkey) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/south-africa) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/armenia) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/argentina) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/azerbaijan) - [Bahrain](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/bahrain) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/brunei) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/belarus) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/noodle-words-kMb/switzerland) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
