## What is Bee Buddy?

Bee Buddy turns spelling practice into time with a friend.

Your child gets their own bee — Buddy — who lives in a gorgeous, cinematic world that changes every week. Buddy says each word out loud, listens as your child spells it, and grows a little with every practice: from a tiny egg, through a wiggly larva and a glowing cocoon, all the way to Queen's Court Champion.

WHY KIDS LOVE IT
- A living, flying Buddy who reacts, blinks, and talks
- A new world every Monday — blossoms, sunflowers, autumn leaves, snow
- Feed Buddy honey after every session and watch them grow through 8 stages
- The Honeycomb: every learned word fills a golden cell in Buddy's hive
- Tiny real bee facts to discover at every growth stage

WHY PARENTS TRUST IT
- Private by design: your child's voice is never recorded, never saved, and never sent to our servers. Word audio is built right into the app, so practice works beautifully even offline.
- Voice-first spelling that listens for real letters — saying the word isn't the same as spelling it, and Buddy kindly coaches the difference
- Adaptive difficulty for ages 5–12 — starts easy, grows with your child
- 854 carefully chosen words with real spoken-word audio
- Progress, reminders, and settings behind a parent gate
- No ads, no pressure — just kind, encouraging practice
- Built by a dad and his 8-year-old daughter

Spelling stops feeling like homework and starts feeling like visiting a friend. A few words a day, a little honey, and both your child's spelling and their bee grow.

Download Bee Buddy and meet your speller's new best friend.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-26

This update happens behind the scenes: quiet improvements that keep Bee Buddy running smoothly.
Nothing changes for your child — the same words, the same Buddy, the same practice. Thank you for spelling with us.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-21

Buddy has more to say — and hears your child better.
• Practice ends in one scene: the words your child spelled fly to Buddy, and he says out loud how it went.
• Fewer right answers marked wrong, quicker replies, and when two words sound alike (son, sun) Buddy uses one in a sentence first.
• Tap the "?" any time for a sentence, a meaning, or a hint. Buddy now says what hundreds of words mean in his own voice, with smoother sound and better support for VoiceOver and Reduce Motion.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-13

Buddy learned some big new tricks!
• Ask Buddy for a sentence, meaning, or hint — just like a real spelling bee
• Lessons now happen inside Buddy's living, seasonal world
• New: Bee Buddy Plus doubles the word library — new packs coming monthly
• Smoother animations and lots of polish throughout

### 1.2 — 2026-07-07

Bee Buddy's biggest update ever — the whole app is alive.

- A living, flying Buddy! Your child's bee now hovers, flutters, blinks, and talks in a beautiful cinematic world.
- A new world every Monday. Cherry blossoms, sunflowers, autumn forests, snow — Buddy's home changes weekly, so there's always a reason to come back.
- Grow from egg to queen. Practice earns honey; feed it to Buddy and watch them grow through eight stages — with real bee facts to discover at each one.
- The Honeycomb. Every learned word fills a golden cell inside Buddy's hive. Tap any cell to practice it again.
- Spell out loud. Buddy says the word, listens as your child spells letter by letter, and coaches kindly — never punishes.
- Smarter listening. Buddy now knows the difference between saying a word and spelling it, and gently coaches the letters.

Made by a dad and his daughter. Happy spelling!

### 1.1 — 2026-06-23

Bee Buddy 1.1 makes practice feel warmer and easier for kids, with a clearer daily mission, friendlier onboarding and paywall flow, more Buddy voice variation, richer bee artwork moments, and polish for the iOS 27 test lane.
