Update to iOS 11?

As a teacher, I frequently use this app with students who are visually impaired, including students who have multiple disabilities. This is a simple, fun education game! Please update this game to iOS 11! Thank you!

If you are a teacher... This is magic!

2016 update: I really wish this learning game would get some development love. It really could be a perfect companion to Bitsboard. Right now even though the audio recording does not work anymore I still use it because it makes the learning a competitive and intensive game! Please fix the audio!

Previous: I have been using little starts toddler for a few years now. I asked their support for a customizable word/spelling battle game.
Now I can turn spelling and learning into fierce and energetic competition.
English is a sport!

Buy the way, this is the perfect companion to Bitsboard
