So I hope sometime you will upgrade the app and add spelling games on there. But it does help me spell ### 4/5 — Good and bad *2025-09-08* I like it because you can create your spelling tests and stuff. But I don’t like it because for some reason I can’t create an account! But I recommend buying PRO features if you get this app. And you can’t split spelling tests though. I recommend this app for all! ### 4/5 — Good and bad *2025-03-03, version 5.0* I like it because you can create your spelling tests and stuff. But I don’t like it because for some reason I can’t create an account! But I recommend buying PRO features if you get this app. And you can’t split spelling tests though. I recommend this app for all! ### 4/5 — Good and bad *2025-02-12, version 5.0* I like it because you can create your spelling tests and stuff. But I don’t like it because you have to get pro for lots of stuff but it’s only £0.99. And you can’t split spelling tests though. I recommend this app for all! ### 2/5 — Looks great! *2023-03-16* I am delighted to have found this app! But I have A BIG COMPLAINT! I cannot pass the parent gate on my Mac book air because it expects touchscreen which my Mac does not have. Please make a change like a times table because most children will have no idea how to do that. Thank you fro everyone who read my review even though most of you will not. Owners please develop a new system for the parnt gtae, it is a great idea. Anyways, my sister has it and she absolutly loves it! Please add these changes because you just lost a good 5 stars! Thanks again for those who read. DEVELOPERS, IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE RIGHT A REPLY, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT! THANKS! ### 3/5 — No playback? *2022-09-12, version 5.0* I wish the playback worked! It is such a great concept. A review from 3 years ago reported the same issue. How is this still not working? ### 2/5 — Not fun for my child and did not help very good *2022-06-16, version 5.0* She had many problems in the first place and I got the app and she get better and she seems like she feels very sad using it ### 4/5 — Helpful *2022-02-22, version 5.0* This app is really helpful. ### 4/5 — Support email won’t work *2022-01-12* I like the app. Won’t recognize my version of apostrophe though. Also I can’t use the full version on a second device. Any help? ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-10-26, version 5.0* I use this app to improve my spelling mistakes for Ielts exam and it’s very useful. ### 2/5 — Unable to record words *2021-09-29, version 5.0* I was unable to record the spelling words in the list that I created. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-09-09* This app is awesome I love it and my kid loves it to I worked great no money and it listens to me and what I say u should love it to ### 5/5 — Basic but very helpful *2021-09-04* My kids were struggling with spelling and I tried a few different ways to help them study. This was the thing that made the difference. Adding their words in to study and having a couple different ways to practice them has been the solution for us. They get 100s on nearly every spelling test now. Plus I love that it works without having to access data; it’s great for studying when we have to be in the car. ### 5/5 — Hi *2021-05-03* Hi ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-04-16, version 5.0* Thank you for this great app!! It’s really helping my son learn his spelling words! It’s so simple and easy to use. :-) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recording *2024-01-26, version 5.0* The recording function in the app is not working so I can manually type in the spelling words, but when I go to hit the playback button after recording the words, nothing plays back ### 1/5 — Can’t believe this *2023-08-09* Can’t believe! I cannot change the dialect! Sometimes I get it right and It thinks I’m wrong but I have checked! EG: scan is s c a n but It thinks it has a silent p! I can’t understand anything! Also last time I played it, I was in year one now I am in year 6! How do I get harder spellings! I now how to spell an, or and if but I can’t hear it increase volume please! In conclusion, I can’t understand it, the words are not hard, sometimes when I get it right it says it is wrong and I can’t hear the audio! Disappointed , 1 star, thanks for reading my review! P.S. I thought It was good in year 1 but when I showed it to my parents they said it had a lot spelling errors when they tried, haven’t played since year 1. ### 1/5 — Do not buy. Buyer beware. *2022-11-30, version 5.0* Pro features do not work. Seller is non responsive. ### 1/5 — Free version ok DO NOT UPGRADE *2022-04-11* The upgrade functionality does not work just get error messages that I have not paid, which I have ### 1/5 — App needs to be removed *2021-09-01, version 5.0* This was such a wonderful find. I was excited to use it for my daughters. So excited that I purchased the upgrade to Pro. Then it would not allow me to create an account, an error that has been prevalent for at least 3 years, read other reviews. Emailed customer service and the email no longer exists. No feedback, no support, this app should be removed immediately. ### 1/5 — Aggravated *2020-11-10, version 5.0* Purchased app to access other features and the app is still not allowing those features to be accessible. Contact developer by email and they contacted me in a timely manner but they did not state anything about fixing this issue, they did however give me a promo code for another app that I’m not interested in. ### 1/5 — Super disappointed *2020-11-05, version 5.0* I downloaded the app and was super excited to use it with my 1st grader until I purchased the pro and got an error message stating 402 I have reached my max and had to purchase the upgrade, but I already purchased the upgrade! So not happy!!! ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-09-24, version 5.0* The sound did not work. 🙄it’s hard to have a spelling test without hearing the word. ### 1/5 — Silly *2020-08-16* It won’t do the words in order it is really silly the recording is bad. THIS IS MENT TO BE EDUCATIONAL!!!!!! why spend money on this it is JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Beware of upgrade!!! *2020-07-24* Thought this was a great app until I tried to upgrade to the pro version to allow me to import lists to multiple devices. It took my money but did not upgrade my account. It keeps generating a prompt that the apps function has been exceeded and I need to make a payment. This is completely unacceptable. DO NOT UPGRADE unless you want to just give away your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ignore the low rating this is great *2024-11-21* Awesome way to help kids revise spelling. You/they (if they’re old enough) can create a spelling list, record yourself saying the words and then they have several ways to practice. Unscramble, which gives them the letters and they can hear the word and arrange them (hopefully) correctly. Practice which gives them the audio, plus the option for a sneaky peak at the word if they can’t remember, Ace it - they just get the audio, then Test which marks them and gives the option to redo ones they get wrong. The best thing for me, is that even my Reception age daughter can do it without my help - which is always split between more than one child and their homework - so that makes a huge difference to me being able to mange their homework time. ### 5/5 — Great review *2023-06-26* I teach spec Ed and many of my students use this app to review spelling words. I have the students enter their own list. This helps them work on saying the words clearly. Then they use A+ to review the words. They also have the option of using it as their assessment at the end of the week instead of writing (which is hard for some of my students). This is a good program! ### 5/5 — Great *2022-10-07* Honestly I can say this app is the best If they added the feature where the child could write the word with their apple pen I would gladly pay extra ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-04-11* This app is amazing to study for my Greek tests! Let’s say I need to learn a word and the meaning this is just awesome, I don’t know why people say that it’s ugly it’s an app for learning doesn’t have to be pretty! Over all it’s just perfect ( I used this for my test and aced it 94%) ### 5/5 — Download *2022-04-09* This app is amazing I’m 12 and this is so fun I had a spelling test today and I got every single word right please download I let my sister use it she got an A on her test too you are amazing ### 5/5 — simple&efficient *2022-02-26* The app does what it promises really well. ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2022-01-07, version 5.0* Really simple and useful ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2021-11-19* My son was having trouble with spelling. When I tried working with him it would cause frustration and end up not being helpful. I stumbled across this app and it has turned his F into an A. He is in 2nd grade, but the nice thing about this app is that it could be used for ANY grade level since you put in the spelling words. He runs through a “test” on here each day after school. Any words that he misses, he can just retake those words after looking them over. One thing I really like is that it keeps tally of which words he got right/wrong with each test. That means I can glance at the list and know which words he is struggling with. Then I can quiz him on just those two words in the car etc. Last night he was asking to practice his spelling words on here. It has really turned things around. I highly recommend this app for any parent trying to help their child with spelling, no matter their age. ### 5/5 — Great app got an a on every test *2021-11-17, version 5.0* Amazing, only problem is their is no problems A++ ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2021-11-04, version 5.0* It is a day before my spelling test and I am going to get ten out of ten.This game gives you different options how to practice your spelling’s.DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NOW. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
