### 2/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-01*

You literally have to pay premium to do anything. You can’t do anything without paying.

### 5/5 — Best spelling app

*2023-12-30*

This app really helped me get good grades on my spelling tests. I told all my friends about it and they started getting good grades too!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your 5-star review! Your positive feedback brightened our day! We're happy to hear that Buzzy Bee Spelling has been a great help with your spelling tests! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or need any assistance, by sending us an email at support@buzzybeespelling.com. Continue to do well!

### 2/5 — Update

*2023-07-29*

It would be great if I could see which words are being missed after a game is played. This would be more beneficial than the statistics.

**Developer response:** Your feedback has been shared with our team.

### 3/5 — Homophones ?

*2023-07-18, version 1.0*

My 6 year old son really struggles with homophones, such as ‘which’ and ‘witch’. As a teacher, I know that this is a very common area of difficulty, yet this app does not have the capacity to tell this. A shame!

### 3/5 — Computer voice ruins it

*2023-06-04*

I’m looking for an app to help my kids practice spelling over the summer and this was one of the first to come up. I downloaded and tested it myself. I love that you can upload lists and the games are excellent!

I like the idea of the app but I do see three things that would be great improvements:
1. Most importantly, the computer voice that reads in the app is awful. I missed a two words on the list I uploaded because enunciation is not good.

2. Related - on spelling practice, it would be helpful to have the option for a definition. One of my kids had a homophone list this past year.

3. It would be nice if there were some lists already available. 

Finally, the app froze on me while loading the word search.

**Developer response:** Hi BrittyALC,
 
We’re happy to hear that you love some of our app features and are sorry that you’re experiencing an issue with the app’s voice clarity. You can change the voice in the app by going to your device Settings and then the Accessibility Settings and then selecting Spoken Content to adjust to your preferences.  Hope this helps. In the meantime, we will definitely look into this, and the spelling practice feature and how we can make both features better. 

Also, our apologies for the freezing issue you experienced with the word search game. We will check into this to resolve it asap. If you continue to experience any issues, we kindly ask that you write to our Support Team for further help.  You can email directly to support@buzzybeespelling.com. 

Thanks for providing us with this feedback and we appreciate your help as we continue to improve our app!

### 3/5 — Almost ok

*2023-05-11*

Great function to upload spelling lists by scanning, but unfortunately when using the lists, the voice that reads the word out is quiet hard to understand as it is pronounced so robotically. My 8 year old cannot understand clearly enough what the word is. Will be deleting and trying another app

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry about the issue you experienced with the app’s voice clarity. You can change the voice in the app by going to your device Settings and then the Accessibility Settings and then selecting Spoken Content to adjust to your preferences.  We’d love for you to give our app another try and we will definitely look into how we can make this feature better. Also, if you need further assistance, please reach out to us by sending an email to support@buzzybeespelling.com.

### 3/5 — No Landscape mode for iPad

*2023-03-21, version 1.0*

⬆️ 🤷🏼‍♂️

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2023-03-20*

This app is incredibly frustrating.
You are required to input your own spelling words into lists, which is great because then I can use words that my child is working on in school. The problem is, you take the time to enter the words, and when your child goes to use the app, the app says no spelling lists found. Arghhhhh. Please fix this!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly and accurately.

Please feel free to reach out to our Support Team via our website contact form 
(buzzybeespelling.com) or via email (support@buzzybeespelling.com) with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. Again, thank you for your support and feedback! -Buzzy Bee Spelling Team
