Sad
So bad
Not free
$10. A month for a spelling app that was “free to download”. No thank you. We will stick to pencil and paper.
Free to dl but you have pay to play
You can’t even try the app without a subscription. Yes you get 3 days free but if you forget to cancel you are charged.
Paywall
No way to sample or test the app before use. Requires immediate payment after child’s information is given
Words aren’t spoken clearly.
Love the games and option to add our own spelling words but the app doesn’t speak the words clearly therefore my child is starting to spell incorrectly.
For example the spelling word is ‘dot’ when the app says the word it sounds like ‘dod’.
I’ll be canceling my subscription.

Slay

best one
is good but idk how to get to the next lesson
How do I get my money back?
I just signed up for this. Went to create my first custom list and the keyboard covers the continue button so there’s no way to complete the list? Does not work.
F

Trooly amazing BUT

Pretty decent - and customizable- spelling app
PROS:
- Good, clear unaccented voice stating words
- ability to slow down the voice to hear more distinctly
- Three interactive different exercises to learn the correct spelling from, which makes it more fun and reinforces learning
- Ability to customize which exercise type(s) will be used
- ability to create your own custom word list (valuable feature!)
- Repeats exercise with words that were spelled incorrectly
- Praise given for correct answers by a warm encouraging voice
- Ability to add multiple children separately, so each has their own individual progression
CONS: - Initial interface is confusing; there is no indication of which levels correspond to school grades, or if they are even organized to parallel the specific spelling curriculum taught in each grade. Uncertain how the progression through levels is organized (by most common words? by high frequency words? by often mispelled words? a blend of everything?) It does not appear to be organized by the different phonic sounds, etc.
- custom word lists cannot be edited after creating, only deleted, which is annoying if you make an error while typing it
- praising voice gets a bit repetitive (Dev, add some short quick ones like "yeah!", "cool." "correct! "That's right.", "good job." with descending pitch for some, instead of the always-ascending pitch of an exclamation.)
- outside of the actual spelling exercise, order of buttons to click for lists and levels can be slightly confusing.
- no explanation as to why when you finish a set of questions in a level and are returned to the Levels Menu, that level is not yet finished, or why there are different numbers of question sets in different levels. This makes it impossible to know how long it will take to finish one level, which a person usually wants or hopes to complete in one sitting.
- a bug where the Level button doesn't display, but the clicking functionality for it IS present
(Dev, also please add Return to Main Menu (or Main Page, Home or Dashboard) button when a set of exercises has been completed. Because the set is finished, the user expects clicking Continue = "done here, close window and return to neutral home page. Instead they discover they are suddenly forced to do a new set of exercises or else their progress tracking is affected. To that end, it's even more crucial to allow the user to EXIT from a set of exercises that has been begun, WITHOUT recording/saving any of the responses. Mistakes happen, and an EXIT button with a sub-pop-up of Cancel this Set Without Saving Responses? paired with Continue or Cancel is realllly essential.
All pretty fixable, and mostly tweaks, thus still 4 stars!

Why
When I tried to do a second lesson in one day it said that I needed the premimium account I feel like they should make it for all accounts
Help plz
Plz refund my amount .Deducted 1 yr pay mistakenly by app. I cancelled subscription.nor useful at this stage.
Ok
Ok
It looks great but..
The game look exactly what I was looking for but then froze :( 😞
Horrible app
Terrible app, has wiped out my list and now won’t let me access my account after paying $30 for a year subscription. Have only used it for 3 weeks. Absolute waste of money. Very frustrating
What are the words?
Half the time the game miss pronounces the words you’re supposed to spell
Best Spelling game even better than a spelling video!
This is the best spelling game ever they let you choose your character then they ask you to pay do the monthly one. It’s way shorter money I promise. and then you could pick your level. I am on level five right now and I promise this is for all ages. It helps me spell since I’m not a really good speller and my mom agreed to it too so your parents will probably agree to it because it’s really good and it’s also really fun and they and when you make mistakes they teach you how to do it and then at the end of your lesson they let you fix your mistakes
