For example the spelling word is ‘dot’ when the app says the word it sounds like ‘dod’. I’ll be canceling my subscription. ### 3/5 — Pronunciation problems *2026-06-30* The voice doesn’t know how to pronounce words like and ### 3/5 — best one *2026-04-19* is good but idk how to get to the next lesson ### 3/5 — Trooly amazing BUT *2025-12-10* It is amazing but the ai voice is ether glitching or saying something Wrong ha not my hearing is wrong but it does help **Developer response:** Sorry about the issue you're having. Most of the words should have clear spoken voice. Could you please let me know which words you're having issues with and we can improve them. Thanks so much! ### 4/5 — Pretty decent - and customizable- spelling app *2025-11-25* 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! **Developer response:** Thanks for this thoughtful review and for your suggestions. Some of your suggestions are coming soon, but some are new. If you can, please reach out at support@prasannag.com - this would allow us to ask clarifying questions about your suggestions. Regards - PG. ### 4/5 — Why *2025-11-18* 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 ### 3/5 — It looks great but.. *2025-10-15* The game look exactly what I was looking for but then froze :( 😞 **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry about the issue you are having. Please reach out to us at support@prasannag.com so that we can help with this. ### 4/5 — Excellent update! *2025-07-30* New review: The update to include definitions is awesome! Would still like to see the lifetime price go down, but this app now offers a well-rounded way to learn new spelling words, bravo! Original review: Simple, easy to use. I like how you can maintain several different profiles, but the subscription app model is extremely tiring, and in this case the lifetime price is not at all reasonable, so I couldn’t in good conscience recommend an app that is so overpriced for what it is. Also I could only see using this frequently if it had a dictionary that would allow a user to have a definition of the word read aloud, as an option they could tap when spelling a word. A word means nothing if you don’t know what it means, and if it means nothing, you are less likely to remember the spelling. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We're happy to hear you find the app simple, easy to use, and like the multiple profiles! We completely understand your point about needing to know a word's meaning to truly learn its spelling. You'll be pleased to know we've just launched an update that includes the very dictionary feature you described! Now you can easily access definitions, parts of speech, and example sentences right within the app. We believe this directly addresses the gap you identified and will significantly enhance the learning experience. ### 4/5 — Great start *2025-05-06* The app is good and engaging. Need to have a way to disable the microphone as the user can just use voice to text for the spelling. ### 3/5 — Solid *2025-02-06* The look and feel of the app is nice. However I wish it would use the words in sentences. To help grasp the definition. There’s an option for the word to be read aloud slower, which is very much appreciated. However sometimes it mispronounces some words. “Wolves” for example is one of them. Overall it’s decent and it’s affordable. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks a lot for your feedback! We’re delighted to see that you enjoy our app and we've made a big update to the app with custom pronunciations for 99% of the words. Excited for you to try the update. ### 3/5 — Good idea *2025-01-25* The program is good. But it is difficult to catch the pronunciation sometimes. Needs more precise pronouncing. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your review. We’ve just launched a major update to the app that now has beautiful natural-sounding pronunciations for 99% of the words! Excited for you to try the feature and hope it addresses any issues you previously had. Please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions. ### 3/5 — Not Bad *2025-01-21* Robotic voice can be hard to understand at times otherwise it would really be fun. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your update. We’ve just launched a major update to the app that now has beautiful natural-sounding pronunciations for 99% of the words! Excited for you to try the feature and hope it addresses any issues you previously had. Please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions. ### 2/5 — Can’t do level 2 *2024-12-07* i have completed level 1 however level 2 is still locked ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How do I get my money back? *2026-04-13* 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. **Developer response:** Apologies for the issue you were having. This must have been a bug. We have released a new version of the app that resolves this issue. You should now be able to see the Continue button above the keyboard and scroll the whole view if needed. Apologies again for the issue. ### 1/5 — Paid and now won’t work *2026-03-22* I’ve set up the monthly bill and now it won’t let me use the app keeps asking me to pay **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry about the issue you're having.

After weeks of personal use for child’s weekly spelling list The app became very difficult to use. Customize list began to disappear and I cannot get back. I cannot make any more profiles. The app simply doesn’t work. I would like my money back. ### 1/5 — Asks for a review before first use *2025-01-21* Deserves zero star. ### 2/5 — F *2026-03-23* Doggy ### 2/5 — Custom level broken *2025-07-09* Just doesn’t work — shame **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry about the issue you are having. Could you please reach out to us at support@prasannag.com so that we can try and resolve this for you? ### 2/5 — Has Potential *2025-03-15* Simple, easy to use. I like how you can maintain several different profiles, but the subscription app model is extremely tiring, and in this case the lifetime price is not at all reasonable, so I couldn’t in good conscience recommend an app that is so overpriced for what it is. Also I could only see using this frequently if it had a dictionary that would allow a user to have a definition of the word read aloud, as an option they could tap when spelling a word.

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 **Developer response:** Hi there! We're so glad you are enjoying the app. Happy learning 🙂 ### 5/5 — A Fantastic Tool for Expanding Vocabulary – Highly Recommended! *2025-01-22* I’ve been using the Spelling Bee Vocabulary app for a while now, and I have to say, it’s absolutely fantastic! The app is incredibly user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that makes learning new words both fun and effective. It offers a great variety of challenging words that help expand my vocabulary while improving my spelling skills. What really sets this app apart is its engaging features, such as the different levels and quizzes that keep you motivated. The detailed feedback after each word is a great way to track progress, and I love how it adapts to my learning speed. If you’re looking to boost your vocabulary in a way that feels rewarding and enjoyable, this app is a must-have. It’s a perfect mix of education and entertainment. I highly recommend it!
