### 3/5 — Good

*2025-10-24, version 32.6*

It’s good I wish it was free 🫠

### 3/5 — It’s ok but also bad

*2025-02-01, version 32.6*

So I got this app to help me prepare for Spelling Bee but first thing I clicked on it was asking me to pay… I didn’t like that because it said it was free before I installed the app I know this isOK app

### 2/5 — Boring and major flaws

*2023-12-16, version 32.6*

This game is so boring and is for kindergarten-2nd grade. They also spelled “doesn’t” wrong! I got so frustrated. However, this game gives you hints so that was good. Also, if your studying for your school, regional, national bee, then I would not recommend this. It has almost none of the words that are in it. Overall this game is terrible and I would not recommend you to download it.

### 4/5 — No English UK option

*2023-02-27*

Really awesome resource, just wish there was an option to select UK spellings

### 2/5 — why only few selected words ? there should be more word’s

*2022-09-25, version 32.6*

there need to be more words

### 2/5 — Why money

*2021-05-29*

Please I need to learn

### 2/5 — This needs to be fixed

*2021-02-25, version 32.6*

It’s a good app, but when it asked me to spell anything with an apostrophe even if I spell it right it tells me it’s wrong, this is really annoying because it gives it to me over and over and over because it thinks I can’t spell it, but it is just glitching. Fix this please, if you do I will use the app mor often. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Amazing but flawed

*2021-02-23*

I think that this app is amazing for people that need to study for tests or even the Spelling bee😊! I am very dissatisfied with the fact that you have to pay for the classes and thank god I don’t have automatic charging to my card. I would recommend this app to anyone, but I would love to see this problem fixed for I think that education is priceless and should be accessible to anyone
Girl, boy, mother or father and most of all free to each and everyone. Thank you to this app but I would love for this problem to be addressed.

### 1/5 — No clue how this app has four stars

*2020-10-31, version 32.6*

Nothing in this app has worked correctly for me to even be able to use it at all. The tutorial doesn’t even work. Entering my own list, it won’t even get past entering the first word. Not user-friendly. Completely useless. I would for sure buy the paid version of a good spelling app, but not when the free version is sooooo abysmal.

### 4/5 — Key feature I do not like

*2020-10-20*

Haven’t explored deeply or made in-app purchases yet but I probably will not use the app because the letters move every time I choose one. Rather than just staying where they are which would mean I could select the spots ahead of time where the next letter is, they move location which means recalibration of my expectation of where the next letter will be. I guess this app isn’t a good fit for me.

### 1/5 — What on Earth is this

*2020-09-23*

What on earth is this bee I am in year 4 and I am not paying and the list available is to hard and then I create my own list and I can’t do anything It is Trash and you can not function without the $8 Payment and the words aren’t British spelling people need that because it is in America so Australians can’t use it Do NOT BY THIS APP

Don’t download!! Completely broken or a fraud.  Not connected to any boards. Users can’t be added or deleted.

### 1/5 — Bad

Bad

### 1/5 — Be Careful

*2022-02-17, version 32.6*

I created a custom list. One of the words I used was down and a picture showed a guy having his hand down his pants. That is absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-08-26, version 32.6*

I have no clue how to use this and it does not work DONT get this!

### 1/5 — rubbish. unable to access "unlock all" features after paying.

*2021-08-05*

unable to access features as paid for, also unable to reach developer/company for troubleshooting. email is only contact info they supply and it has been rejected as nonexistent. don't purchase and lose 8$

### 1/5 — Poorly done, very confusing

*2021-06-15, version 32.6*

Poorly done very confusing.

### 1/5 — Very difficult to navigate

*2021-05-24, version 32.6*

I can only access Grade 3. I thought I would be able to explore different grade levels for my kids. However, the only thing we seem to be able to access is grade 3. I may be misunderstanding how the app works but I did not feel that this was made clear when I purchased.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-04-10, version 32.6*

It doesn’t have words for every grade level, and for some words it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Worst.. nothing seems to work

*2020-12-28, version 32.6*

No

### 1/5 — Can’t understand

*2020-12-05, version 32.6*

Hi so I’m spelling the words and the woman saying them and it sounds like one word but then when I type it in it’s the wrong word.
