I’ve tried different days for over a week checked the settings and followed the instructions and still nothing. ### 4/5 — Helpful for me *2018-10-28* It really helps me to spell ### 4/5 — Great little tool *2017-06-15* My daughter (9) has dyslexia and dysgraphia, she really struggles in class to get written tasks done in a timely and legible manner. We have tested this app at home for homework and she is now very excited to try this out at school. It's simple to use and does what it says at a reasonable price. ### 4/5 — Helped my son *2017-01-31* Worked great for homework help. **Developer response:** Excellent - thank you for your constructive review. Easy Dyslexia Aid serves as an extremely useful companion both inside and outside the classroom. ### 1/5 — Dont work!!! *2016-09-01* Waste of money **Developer response:** We are sorry you feel that way.

It is only a microphone. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-06-23* Don’t waste your time and money... ### 1/5 — Does not work properly *2019-06-28* I have not a moment to take a breath and the app switches to spelling the first word i said. If i say something continuously without pause to breathe, like a robot it will work, but if i stop for a second the app switches to the spelled written version. I have to go back and forth. I think slow and need to think before i speak, This app gives you zero time to stop and ruminate. Sorry, impractical. ### 1/5 — No relation to dyslexia *2019-03-17* The description made this app sound great but all it is is a voice activated dictionary. Will be handy to get spellings when your stuck but will not help you learn them. Handy spell checker but nothing more than that. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-10-18* Keeps saying try again **Developer response:** Hello, please make sure your microphone is turned on and you have network connectivity or Wi-Fi connected. To turn on microphone close the app and select the device Settings icon (iPhone or iPad). Scroll down and locate and select Dyslexia Aid and turn Microphone and Cellular Data on. If you require further assistance please call our website support number or kindly email us. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-10-15* I purchased the spelling App “Easy Spelling” and it works fine. This App “Dyslexia Aid” doesn’t. It seems to be missing the bottom left icon (arrow) that the other app has that allows you to see what you say.....Any thoughts.?.. My software is updated and I removed and added App again with no success. Thanks. **Developer response:** Hello, the history log option is not available on Easy Dyslexia Aid, only Easy Spelling Aid. We may include the history option in a future update release. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Expensive colour overlay and dictation *2018-08-24* App doesn’t apply colour to any other screen, nor does it speak the word back, as it states it is meant to.. the “speech”. Button doesn’t work. I see no value of this app for my daughter.. **Developer response:** Hello, you have the option to select the OpenDyslexic font with your choice of colour overlay. Please select option under Settings 'Select a Dyslexic Option'. Results will display the selected colour option. Please make sure your microphone is turned on and you have network connectivity or Wi-Fi connected. To turn on microphone close the app and select the device Settings icon (iPhone or iPad). Scroll down and locate and select Dyslexia Aid and turn Microphone and Cellular Data on. Please make sure 'Speak Text' is turned on under Settings. If you require further assistance please call our website support number or kindly email us. Thank you. ### 1/5 — It’s useless *2018-01-06* What a waste of money **Developer response:** Hello, if you are experiencing any issues please follow this link for troubleshooting: http://www.easyspellingaid.com/easy-dyslexia-aid/#support We are happy to answer any questions. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2017-04-03* The app description would have you believe that custom colored overlays are available. None of that is true. **Developer response:** We apologise for the misunderstanding. The 'OpenDyslexic' font and color overlays are paired. The app supports 8 color overlays. We thank you for your feedback and we will also look at an option of including a custom color overlay palette in a future release. ### 1/5 — Dyslexia Aid *2017-01-21* If I could give this a zero, I would. What a hoax! Doesn't work at all! **Developer response:** We are sorry you feel that way. Easy Dyslexia Aid requires network connectivity (WiFi, 3G, 4G or GPRS) to access the speech recognition software. Once connected the app will work without any issue. Thank you for your feedback. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Play app *2022-07-23* this app is great it really helps me with my emails at work ### 5/5 — Waste of money !!!!!!!! *2021-08-25* Waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome, Buy It! *2017-01-06* This app will allow my son to not need an EA hovering over him in high school next year. Even if your pronunciation is not perfect, it gets it after a few tries. Fantastic, far better then expensive software. Highly recommend it and it's fun too.
