PLEASE FIX IT ### 3/5 — Crashes when I go to parent support *2023-09-10* My kids love this app, but every time I go to parent support to update the spelling lists it crashes :( ### 4/5 — Amazing app but now it crashes *2023-04-18* Crashes every time I go to the parent page. Such a shame as this is my son’s favorite spelling aid and has been great up until now. So hoping it can be updated to fix the bug. ### 2/5 — App crashes when launching Grownups area *2022-12-02, version 1.7* This is a great app, but now the grownups area no longer works and there is no way to contact support… ### 4/5 — Please update *2022-10-10, version 1.7* My grandson loves this and now that he has sight words to practice I wanted to use them but it crashes every time I try to go to the grown up area. PLEASE FIX IT ### 5/5 — Students LOVE it!! *2016-11-23, version 1.4* All my students absolutely love this game!! They learn how to spell lots of words! I can even put their spelling words on the game!! ### 5/5 — Great App that Doesn't get old! *2016-09-24, version 1.4* We've had this app for two years now and they still LOVE it. Little Big Car Factory is an awesome app with awesome support. I never expected to hear back from the support desk for a 3.99 app but I did! I heard back immediately with a great answer that included screen shots. Buy this app for the little car-loving speller in your life! ### 5/5 — A+ Grade from the teacher! *2016-07-06, version 1.4* This is the best app I have ever seen or used with my classroom. I had kids who are really struggling with the spelling words that our school system uses. When we started using Car Factory, the kids wanted to practice their words all the time. Getting to make their own cars and adding all the special features made it highly motivating for them. And the icing on the cake was when they were able to drive their car and collect coins. This app is absolutely amazing and I even intend on using it with some vocabulary this year as well. Thank you so much for your quality app. I would love to be able to sync my devices so I could see my kids progress all in one place. But, As long as they are practicing and loving learning, I consider this a win! You rock! ### 5/5 — Great practice for spelling *2016-06-10* My 4 year old really loves this game and it's great to see how quickly she can learn to spell new words using this app! ### 5/5 — Best spelling app *2015-12-21* This is totally outstanding spelling app , I can't begin to praise the creation team on this enough ! Big hand clap to you all !!! For any child that finds concentration or spelling tricky ( like my child ) this will help reinforce their progress !!! I have a child who now loves learning to spell new words ... All thanks to this clever interactive app ! ### 5/5 — Great game great educational value!! *2015-11-25, version 1.4* Great game great educational value!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This will not let me go into the parent section *2023-09-17* When I click on the parent icon the app immediately closes so I can’t add any new spelling lists. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work with update OS *2022-11-07, version 1.7* It keeps kicking me off when I go to the grown up area ### 1/5 — No longer works with update to OS 15 *2022-05-03, version 1.7* We loved this and it was a huge asset for my daughters. However, it is now useless. I am very disappointed that it appears to be incompatible with OS15. If you keep your system updated, don’t bother buying this. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-02-11, version 1.7* My 9 and 10 year olds loved using this for spelling practice and greatly improved their grades. Now that an update for the iPad was done it no longer works. Every time I tap the parent icon it shuts down. Would greatly appreciate a fix as my kids did love this game. ### 1/5 — Was great but doesn’t work with iOS15 *2021-11-09, version 1.7* Well this was a great app until it stopped working with the update to iOS 15. Now my son is very upset that he is unable to play this anymore. He thought he was just playing when he really was learning to ace his test. ### 1/5 — Great game but breaks *2020-09-10, version 1.7* The game itself is fantastic. But we play it once, close it and when we reopen it the sound does not work anymore. I have to delete and reinstall to fix the sound. Renders it useless for teaching reading if my son can’t hear what the word is. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work? *2019-09-24, version 1.7* Does not seem to work on my IPhone X with latest software ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing !!!!! *2016-12-20, version 1.4* Bought the app for my 7 year old and the app crashes on the parent setup/icon. Please help so that we can benefit from the PURCHASE!!!!! **Developer response:** We've updated our app and tested it on all the most recent versions of iOS. Crashes on startups should no longer be happening. ### 1/5 — Ms *2014-08-29* App crashes every single time we try and open it. Waste of $$ **Developer response:** The crashes that occurred on some older iPads have been fixed. ### 2/5 — Glitching *2023-11-21* I think this spelling game is a great concept, but I have not been able to get into the parent area to add new words. Every time I click on the parent link it closes the app completely. I’m not sure why this keeps happening. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Car Factory *2024-03-14* Can’t find parents page and can’t load words myself! Please help, ### 5/5 — Car Factory *2024-01-20* Can’t find parents page and can’t load words myself! Please help, ### 5/5 — Car Factory *2024-01-18* Can’t find parents page and can’t load words myself! Please help, ### 5/5 — Great to add custom lists *2020-02-16, version 1.7* Excellent because we can add custom lists. ### 5/5 — Worked for us *2019-10-13* We’ve tried a lot of spelling apps, but nothing has caught our son’s imagination like this one. It’s really helped with his weekly tests; and helped make learning seem like less of a challenge. Experience suggests it won’t work for everyone - but for a child who loves cars, it’s worth a try. ### 5/5 — Love it. Hate it. *2019-03-20, version 1.7* This app works great for helping kids learn their weekly spelling. I dislike entering the lists on each of the kid’s iPads separately however. A central management place would be great—something like the one I have for Mealboard. ### 5/5 — Amazing Results *2019-03-12, version 1.7* Two of my children really struggled with spelling. I tried every app and phonics program out there. Nothing clicked. Then I came across this app and the results were immediate and amazing. My son is now at the top of his class and loves to read and write. My daughter went from failing to an “A”. As mother to watch your child struggle is heart breaking, but to watch them not just succeed but to do it with great joy is an amazing feeling that can not be described! This app is the only app that I found that not only allows you to customize their spelling lists but it also engages the child in a way that gets them wanting to learn more!!! Get this app. You will not regret it !!! ### 5/5 — What all learning apps should be like! *2019-02-23, version 1.7* I love this app, because my son freakin asks me if he can play it when he’s done with his homework! He hates reading and spelling, but is happy to earn car upgrades and race time. Please keep adding more cars and upgrades. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Much beloved! *2018-04-10, version 1.6* This is my most used spelling app! My students love building cars as they practice their words and seeing the fruits of their efforts when they master a word. Thank you for maintaining this wonderful game! **Developer response:** The issue preventing you from adding new lists was a bug accidentally introduced in version 1.5. We expect a fix to be available within 2-3 days. Please keep your eye out for v 1.6 where adding lists works correctly again. Sorry for the trouble. (We agree that adding your own word lists is pretty critical!!!) ### 5/5 — Makes spelling fun! *2017-01-17* Have been using this for a couple years with my son who hates doing spelling words. It is an excellent tool and option for parents to help make spelling fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
