App doesn’t work

I spent 1.99 on this app and it does work in my country
I dont know how to get a refund which is frustrating. It shouldn’t be available to purchase if it cannot work!!!

Great product

I have used this App for my children when they were growing and now I am using it for my students. It has a miner mistake but great overall. It encourages children to be more confident with their spelling. I will recommend this App.

Highly recommended

This is a brilliant app. My son absolutely loves it and is keen to learn spellings morning, noon and night. The only thing you have to do is ensure your phone is not on silent mode, so that you can hear the wonderful Mr Thorne!
