No sound ???
Tried everything… no sound
Produces sounds incorrectly
Example: the phonemes for “think” are not /th/, /i/, /n/, and /k/.
The app also sometimes produces vowels in a very clipped and auditorily distorted fashion.

Frustrated
I paid for the ability to create my own list but it doesn’t work because you can’t hear the recorded word. How do I get a refund?
Can’t get voice to record
Paid the extra money to customize list and record my kids spelling words but it doesn’t work....:/
Fun and useful free spelling app
Thumbs up!
Almost
What I really wanted was a spelling program that actually used phonics. This is close but misses the target. If you could choose from the phonics lists then add your own words that are not in there, it would be so much better. I am trying to help my son learn the lists provided by the school.
Sound doesn't record.
I downloaded this app thinking it would help my son with his spelling words, but you can't record the words so the $7.47 I just spent was a waste of money until this glitch is fixed.
Awesome
My students love this app!!! I like that you can add your own list into the app.
It is a great, engaging spelling practice app.

Cute, but not entirely accurate
This app is aesthetically pleasing and kids would have fun with it, but I would not put this in the hands of a beginning or struggling reader. It does not account for vowels and others letter combos having more than one sound. Example: /i/ in think and /i/ in pig; /th/ in bath and /th/ in there. The sound of the letter tiles only offers one sound.

Great app
I love this app and my kids do too. It would be great if there was a French version too.
Great App!
I love the fact that I can share spellig-word lists with the students!
Excellent
This app was very helpful for my daughter (in year 6) and she got a 5 in English she is very happy and it's all thanks to this app
Kids love this
My kids love this game and I love that they are getting better with their spelling which was stuck around a 70% all year. The bubbles are great. I can save their spelling lists to this so they are practicing what they are getting tested on. The only thing I have a complaint about is that it doesn't save the settings for each child. One of my kids has 6 spelling words and the other has 12 every week and I have to pick a larger quiz number than each of those so that they
end up doing the same word a few times on the test section, that and after I change the user, I have to remember to go in and change the active spelling list too or my 2nd grader ends up practicing my kindergarteners spelling words. But all in all, a great practice tool.

Express limitations..
We have only tried the 'create your own list'. It's useful for practising school work, but frustratingly words can only be a maximum of 8 letters long - we have 'furniture' in the list this week. It would also be useful if you could undo a letter when you realise it's wrong...
Great learning tool
Perfect for kids that know their letters and need to start putting them into words.
Great for reading support
I use this app with students who are struggling in reading. It's a great way to practice spelling patterns, letter-sound correspondence, and the love popping the bubbles. One thing I'd change is that students can't correct if they drag he wrong letter up in a quiz even if they realize before the word is done. But, overall a great app!

Great App!
Thanks for making the settings & upgrades press & hold! My toddler hasn't figured it out yet…
He loves popping the bubbles, too. Like popping packing bubbles -- only better!

Great App For Speech
I think this app is wonderful, I love that you hear the sounds for the letter. Its what my son needs for his speech delay. The levels are great and the child is able to learn while having fun. The graphics are eye catching and holds the interest of the child.
Phonics
I like this app because it uses sounds and not just letter names. So many kids have difficulty with sound - letter correspondence. Awesome that the app is free. I will use this with my kids at school who need practice.
fun app
I use this app in my speech therapy sessions. I can adapt it to fit the varied needs of my students. Sometimes we are working on cooperation and trying to solve a word together, sometimes we are working on sounding out the letters, sometimes we are working on defining the words, and more!
