Don’t waste your time. **Developer response:** Although the subscription allows for unlimited use, Spelling Bee App can still be used to practice everyday without a subscription. Thank you for trying Spelling Bee App. ### 1/5 — Yay finally I can practice spelling and have fun!! *2025-07-11* This is the worst app I have ever downloaded on my phone or in any device I have ever owned. The voices want me to rip my ears off and seeing that after one mistake or MISCLICK it locks it and asks me for a subscription. What a piece of garbage, lemon lookin bee ahh, spelling bee? Nah spelling fee. **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for trying Spelling Bee App. If you search "Live Speech" in your iOS settings and then look under "Voices" you can download enhanced & premium voices for free. Instructions for this are in Spelling Bee App settings under "Pronouncer" Also, I’m unable to reproduce a lock-out based on mis-click or mistake. Feel free to contact me with any specifics that may help me resolve that issue for you. https://anthonyharveyapps.com/contact-us ### 1/5 — Bru *2025-02-07* Good but not clear voice and not worth it **Developer response:** Hi, Thank for using Spelling Bee App. Please see the settings menu for instructions on getting enhanced and premium voices downloaded to your phone for free. ### 2/5 — I mean.. it’s weird *2026-01-24* The voice is SOOO robotic. I personally just can’t. If you get a question correctly it makes a weird animation. And also a weird thing. If you play in an iPad the screen shrinks to iPhone size. It just genuinely annoys me but idk **Developer response:** Thank you for using Spelling Bee. Enhanced and Premium voices can be downloaded for free. Instructions can be found under the list of your current voices in the menu. ### 2/5 — Really bad *2025-12-30, version 1.17* I’m sorry but this game or spelling bee app is just really bad the Ai is really annoying ### 2/5 — Nice but not really free *2025-09-05* I like the format but You only get about 3 words a day. Anything over that you have to get a subscription. Hate that. ### 2/5 — Fine *2025-01-31* I wish I didn’t have to pay for it ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-08-11* It’s a very cheaply made app, and the voice they use is just some robot so they don’t pronounce the words correctly, which makes you mess up on spelling them sometimes. **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for trying Spelling Bee App. If you search "Live Speech" in your iOS settings and then look under "Voices" you can download enhanced & premium voices for free. Instructions for this are in Spelling Bee App settings under "Pronouncer" ### 4/5 — Family sharing? *2026-04-05* Can we do family sharing on a paid subscription? **Developer response:** Yeah! Good idea! Just enabled it. Thanks for using Spelling Bee App! ### 4/5 — Is the bee AI generated? *2026-01-04* Tbh the bee icon looks like it was AI generated **Developer response:** Thanks for using Spelling Bee App! The bee icon is not, but the more cartoonish bee character that appears in the app is created with the assistance of AI. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome spelling App *2026-06-11* This is a great tool for anyone who is trying to increase their spelling abilities! If you are going to compete in a spelling bee I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2025-04-13* It’s a spelling bee simulator. The only one I found. ### 5/5 — Straight forward *2025-04-10* Simple and straightforward app. I am hoping it will strengthen my spelling. I am enjoying the app so far ### 5/5 — This is Great *2025-02-27* Exactly what you want from a spelling app. But you need a pen and paper to really learn all the words. ### 5/5 — Spelling Bee *2025-01-22* Great for practicing your spelling! ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-12-17* Legit spelling bee ### 4/5 — Pretty good; only issue is too robotic sometimes *2025-05-27* The app itself has a great system! It’s the only actual spelling bee simulator I’ve found that uses the real regulations for spelling bees like repetition of the words, definitions, and sentences. I also like that it offers harder spelling levels! My only problem with the app is the voices, as they seem like they haven’t been sampled enough for recordings in order to generate proper pronunciation; I’m doing the extreme level words and some of them I knew how to spell the first time I heard it, but upon listening to it again, the robotic pronunciation makes certain letters fluctuate with every time it repeats the word. I’ve made many more mistakes due to repeated words than i have spelled them correctly. I’d recommend either more sampling of audio to generate better pronunciation in the AI voices, or maybe just have it record the actual words on the app’s vocab lists! Other than that, I love the way it’s formatted and the flexibility of difficulties! **Developer response:** Hi, Thank for using Spelling Bee App. I'm glad you are enjoying it. If you haven't yet, please see the settings menu for instructions on getting enhanced and premium voices downloaded to your phone for free. Also, that is a great idea having pre-recorded audio for the more difficult words. I will work on that for the next update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
