  • Awesome app but not quite 5 stars.

    This app is amazing but my son was asking "how do i turn your voice off" i wish there was an option for that. I would also like to see an option where we can download what others have created. It is a lot of work to make all of those words and record each one.
  • Must have!!!

    This app. is great. My son is in the second grade and he loves to take his spelling list and create the list on my iPad using this application. He even creates his own sentences. Studying his spelling is now fun for him. The other day he created his own list of words that he wanted to learn. I don't see my iPad as much now, but it's worth it.

  • Amazing

    This has got to be the most amazing app I've come across! As a homeschooling parent, this blows away all other spelling teaching methods! Goodbye boring white board drills...HELLO spelling board. My kiddo loves practicing his weekly sight words, and I like that I can make up my own quizzes and record both the word and phrases. Every app that these developers create is golden. A must buy for educators and parents alike. Really folks, don't think twice about this app...as I have bought and tried them all and none can even come close to this one!

  • Perfect!

    This is such a great app for any age, younger kids can practice writing the words as well as typing them. You can make and keep an entire library of words to make weekly or daily lists from. We do Sight words, phonics group words and spelling words. It tracks test scores and mispelled words which we put into a new list to practice again. This is a great app! It also stores information for several different kids which is great because they all have different lists of words to learn. Mathboard is great too! The possiblities for IPad to be a powerful, functioning, child friendly, engaging, educational tool are limitless... I cant wait to see whats next!

  • Brilliant

    This developer delivers quality apps. We have been using this app for a couple of weeks for French and English spelling tests. The kids love using it to study their words and test how they're doing. I give it my highest recommendation, though I would note that there are still a few bugs as the app crashes every now and then when adding new words through the word manager.

  • Fantastic!!

    I've been looking for a spelling app for a while now and this is the first to meet the needs of both my nine year old and my 6 year old. Easy to set up spelling lists, study, then take the quizzes. My kids have both French and English spelling tests for school and this is now their favorite way to practice!

  • Extremely useful

    Great way to practice weekly spelling words. Able to load multiple lists and keep track of progress for each child. Another winner from the developers of Mathboard.
  • A great motivator

    I like this app. It's a great way to get my stubborn daughter to practice her spellings. I just get her words for the week, spend 5 minutes loading them onto the app plus record myself saying the words and she jumps at the chance to do her homework on the iPad!
    It really does what it says on the tin and the beauty is if you don't like their choice of words then as mentioned you just load your own.
    So if you have a kid who has regular spellings homework, them this is a great tool to get them to do it.

  • Beautiful App

    This is a beautiful application. It has a few of weaknesses that I hope the developer will address.

    1) Syncing list between devices cannot be done wirelessly. You have to plug them into iTunes.

    2) The training mode is nothing special. Just looking at the words and practicing.

    3) The iPhone counterpart is crippled not to be able to create lists. This would be fine if this iPad program acted more like a test online publisher. But it doesn't.

    4) There are only 2 downloadable test from the developer.

    But I cannot stress how beautiful this application is so far. I am sure the developer will continue to enhance it, and I look forward to the updates. If you only are going to just be using one iPad device, and you are mainly just using this to do practice spelling test, then download this application now and support this developer.

    But until these issues are addressed I am going to continue to use a free iPhone application instead. The free application is not as nice as this application in design, but it allows for easy sharing of tests between devices and it has a much better training mode.
