Good concept needs some work

I used this for my kids school spelling test but I found myself looking else where for spelling practice and games in the App Store. The menu, play, and sneak peak buttons are very close together they need to be spaced our more or rearranged because if you accidentally push menu instead of play you have to start all the spelling practice over. You can’t go back to where you started. Also the auto voice doesn’t always pronounce the words correctly and/or can be hard to understand.like the word Protein. I like the idea of this and has potential it just needs some tinkering.

Thank you for your feedback. It would be really helpful if you are able to get in touch and let me know which device you are using so that I can have a look at the layout. Please also note that you can use it in landscape and portrait mode and these will have slightly different layouts.

The best!!!!! it ate!!!!!

This game is the best. In my opinion it is so helpful and I have aced all my spelling tests. most comment complain about it not having lines to tell you how much letters it is but if you like to think or your child likes to think and use there brain it is for you. I would recommend this for people who struggle to spell because it is a fun to push your self and if you want to improve you can it will congratulate you for getting a new high score. It's the best get is now!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this lovely review. I'm so glad it has been helpful.

Excellent app!

This app has been a tremendous help to both of our kids with their weekly spelling lists that they are tested on at school. You can enter the words and record yourself saying them. It provides great motivation for the kids to get them all correct. Don’t listen to the negative reviews; those are just people who did not read what this app actually was. For those of us who were looking for something to help our kids with their weekly spelling lists, this is great!

Thank you for this great review. I'm really pleased to hear how helpful it has been.

Good but needs improvements

Great basic app and easy to learn how to use. Some suggestions for future releases:
* add repeat word feature (in case you couldn’t hear it first time)
* add import / export list to share between devices / with school friends etc
* keyboard layout is a little confusing
* add option to shuffle words in the list
My 10 yo daughter enjoys it for her spelling practice.

Frustrated

I paid for this and haven’t been able to use it at all. I was hoping to use it to help my son with spelling, but the app won’t let me enter a word in the word list. Disappointed

Response from developer

I'm very sorry that I somehow missed this comment as I could have helped you. Pressing the dismiss keyboard key instead of the enter key would have this affect. However the latest version behaves a little differently so it should solve your problem. If you are still having problems, please get in touch with me.
