"Not only did this tool help make poetry come alive for [my student], he asked me if he could try reading... I about fell out of my chair because he never wants to read aloud... and he has asked to go to the library to check out books that he can read along with the app." - Julie Smith, The Techie Teacher®

Sheilabeen,
Whole family loves this app
My kids are grown and I read books to my granddaughter with this app. They over heard me reading and sat around to hear the sound effects with their niece. Novel Effect brings a whole new joy to reading and draws new readers into the stories. The ability to pause and discuss the page just read is great for allowing the child to put their input into the story and to participate. We’ve even stopped to talk about the sounds and how they go with what was just read. My granddaughter likes to imitate the sounds heard when read a story again and again. I’ve even been to my local library with the app to get books that can be read with the app. Giving a child the physical book that I can add sounds to makes me the best magical Meemaw around! Thank you!
I found out about this app one Sunday morning on a news show. So glad I didn’t sleep in! Please keep the amount of books coming and I can’t wait to try the new update.

Ojedaper,
So underrated app!! Must read!
Most important tip!!
Something that took me a while to realize is that most books are free online. The app can run in the back, so you don’t need to download the book in the app. There is a limited selections on f books that can be access through the app because of copy rights, but save your money and just google it with the words pdf, then click on print and the app will start running in the app. You can check if is working because the audio effect will be in sync with what you are reading. If they are not, check the app is running or start reading from the last sentence until the audio and the text sync again.

Merry Shannon,
Amazing
I really don’t have the words for how phenomenal this app is. I am a huge fan of the read along vinyl/storybook sets of the seventies and eighties—I had a massive collection and spent hours listening to them as a kid. This is the only modern experience I’ve found that lets me replicate the feeling for my child. They’ve included so many truly GOOD kids’ books, and clearly have put a lot of passion and talent into creating these background effects. I already own a dozen of the books featured and now I will be collecting most of the rest. I will support this app with all my heart, I hope it continues to grow and becomes HUGELY successful. Thank you thank you to the brilliant minds making this possible!!!
addy.p.,
Enjoyable
We received the subscription with a book club membership, and really enjoy the app and the books they send. Makes the books come to life and has gotten my child interested in more books instead of just asking for the same book every night! Liked the free version as well so we could give it a try before committing to the subscription. Asked for it for a holiday gift from grandma. Nice mix of classics and new books, many of which we already have. Liked that I could favorite the books so we have a list of the options to choose from.
AmesIrene,
Amazing!
We are avid readers and have read over 500 different books to our 2 year old, and we are always looking for screen-free options for her and this fits the bill perfectly! Love the sounds and music and so does she! We can’t wait for more books to be released! Also, a way to favorite or save books in one folder would be nice, so we could save the books we own in one area and reference which books are compatible easily. For now, I’m just going to do it the non-tech way and put all of the books that work with this app in a basket together :)
Lisa5676,
Amazing app & wonderful customer support
This app makes read alouds so engaging for my students, even for older kids who mistakenly think they’ve outgrown picture books. Whenever I have teachers or aides in the library they’re mesmerized as well! It even makes older classic books like “Where the Wild Things Are” new again. I’ve had a couple minor technical issues and my emails to customer support have been answered within hours or minutes with a prompt resolution. I am a huge fan of this app and the dedicated people behind it!
GinaDitrio,
Amazing!
The Novel effect app is truly incredible ! I teach children with special needs. I had to often create my own music and sound effects Thanks to this app, I no longer have to do that. It will also pause and jump ahead if need be!
I highly recommend this app to anyone who reads to children! Btw customer service is incredible. You can recommend books to be added to their library. There are even books written in Spanish !

jlibean,
Love it!
I’m an elementary school librarian. My favorite part of my job is reading stories to the children. I found out about Novel Effects and started using it this year. I love it and the kids love it! Every time I read a story they ask if we get to hear the sound effects. I’m impressed with how many books are available with the sound effects. If you don’t have Novel Effects get it! You won’t be sorry! Thank you Novel Effects! You've made my already fun job even more fun!
sandraleelee,
Sound issues
I love this app but the volume from my phone is not good at all. I don’t have any other issues with sound using my phone except with this app. I’ve tried going into the app settings and adjusting audio boost all the way up but it is still to faint to hear sounds over my voice reading. If I use a Bluetooth speaker then there is too much of a lag in the sounds and I will have to pause constantly while reading for the sound to catch up. Any suggestions for a fix to this? I would really prefer for the sound to be better coming through my phone.
Oo7slice,
One of those magical apps
This is one of those apps that brings a little magic into your life. I was introduced to it by a school librarian when I was visiting my son in kindergarten. She let me read a book to the class using Novel Effect and the kids (and I) loved it.
My son now really likes to try to read the books himself in order to get he sound effects going, and hopes that means re books continue being added to the library.
Looking forward to seeing what comes to the app.
