### 3/5 — After the trial ends  do I have to pay for it

*2026-08-06*

Because when I downloaded it, I didn’t realize cause I saw on the top it says 48;hours

### 5/5 — Make more languages please.

*2026-06-20*

Word Wizard is fun, but what if there were other languages, like Danish, Norwegian, Italian, Portuguese…etc? Also, add numbers to the Finnish word wizard please.

*2023-03-13*

Remarquable application , très intéressante avec la possibilité d’inclure du vocabulaire ,des photos. Testée avec succès sur apprenants étrangers .

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis positif :-)

### 2/5 — Dommage que la synthèse vocale ne soit pas très bonne …

*2021-09-21*

En utilisation en classe, la synthèse vocale n’est pas suffisamment claire pour permettre aux élèves d’être en autonomie. Il arrive même que sur des dictées créées, la synthèse étant tellement mauvaise que les élèves (et l’adulte) ne peuvent pas comprendre ce qui est dit.

**Developer response:** Bonjour, pouvez-nous contacter à support@lescapadou.com svp ? Il y a des nombreux réglages sur la voix et certains réglages ont sûrement été changé par les enfants car cette application est utilisée dans beaucoup d'écoles avec succès. Il y a également plusieurs voix disponibles (voix d'enfants, voix d'adultes,...), vous pouvez choisir la voix dans les réglages

### 4/5 — La magie des mots

*2020-09-24*

Bonjour. Je viens télécharger l’application gratuitement comme vous le proposez pour 24h. Mon fils et moi sommes conquis. Apprendre l’orthographe peut être si rébarbatif ! J’ai cependant 2 questions. Est-il possible d’installer l’application sur une tablette androïd et un i-phone pour un même achat? Peut-on effacer des dictées personnelles ? Merci.

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci de nous contacter à support@lescapadou.com, nous vous donnerons un code pour la version Android si vous achetez la version iOS. Vous pouvez bien sûr ajouter, éditer et supprimer vos dictées personnelles. Désolé pour la réponse tardive.

### 3/5 — Problème d accès à l’appli payante

*2020-04-22*

Bonjour 
J ai deux garçons CP et CE1
Ils adorent votre  appli ! 
J ai donc acheté la version complète. 
Je me demande pourquoi je ne peux pas l utiliser avec l’iPad et l’iPhone en même temps. 
J espère que quand on paie une fois on peux l utiliser sur internet plusieurs supports avec meme compte iTunes. 
Pouvez vous m’aider à retrouver la sérénités à la maison ?? Merci d’avance

**Developer response:** Avez-vous réussit à restaurer votre achat sur votre iPad ou votre iPhone ? Si c'est le cas, merci de mettre à jour votre note, cela compte beaucoup pour nous :-)
 Réponse: Bonjour, vous pouvez utiliser l'application sur tous vos appareils du moment que vous utilisez le même Apple ID. Il est nécessaire de "restaurer" l'achat quand vous installez l'application sur un nouvel appareil. Le bouton "Restaurer" est dans le même dialogue que vous avez utilisé pour acheter l'application complète.

### 4/5 — Aide pour les enfants

*2019-12-01*

Très bien pour mon fils en difficulté, ça l’aide beaucoup. En plus, il peut réviser les mots appris à l’école car je peux faire mes propres listes.
