Zero response to support ticket after 4 weeks waiting. ### 3/5 — Points to low *2026-05-19, version 2.0.3* I loved the game but in school it’s so much better it gives so much more points and you can update it ### 2/5 — School *2026-05-13, version 1.21.4* I hate school ### 4/5 — Children needs *2026-04-12, version 1.21.4* It helps a lot for children who need to learn spelling and watching my child do it makes me so proud that she’s learning how to spell more to beat her class in year three ### 3/5 — Some frustrations *2026-02-23* I’d like to be able to copy the list of this week’s spellings to the clipboard, but I can’t. However it’s also a pain to screenshot them as the app insists on running in landscape and the 10 words won’t fit in a single screen. The reason I want this is so I can send the list to someone who doesn’t have the app, e.g. when my child is with their grandparents. ### 4/5 — AMAZING 🤩 just one problem *2026-02-21* This is great for learning and spellings but one problem when I go to edit my avatar it’s kicks me off the app i don’t lose any thing but it’s really hard when I want to edit it so my character its just default but I definitely recommend the app anyways ### 4/5 — Ok but not the best *2026-02-10, version 1.21.2* It’s helping learn spellings but needs improvements in the game ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-02-06, version 1.21.2* It is good for learning your spellings and I also like the fact you can create your own lists but when you are spelling the voice does not say the word very clearly but altogether it is and ok app ### 4/5 — My review on spelling shed *2026-01-21* Lovely way of learning your spellings. Also, I like the way you can change your character to anything you want whether it’s a personal one to a certain character you like. But I don’t like how only on the website you can play the games like: Bee Siege, Quizshed and all other cool games. Hope this helped! ### 3/5 — Cosmetic Items Too Expensive *2026-01-21* My daughters school uses Spelling Shed so we bought the app and my daughter enjoys using it. However despite doing all of her assigned work every morning before school, the points assigned are so low I’m having to explain to her that the customisations she wants she’s never going to have. 30 sessions has resulted in 119 points. She needs 10,000 to get some cat ears for her profile. I think it would take her 5 years to get it. Quite demotivating. ### 4/5 — this is so good *2026-01-20, version 1.21.2* my child is learning spelling with this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-19, version 2.0.5* Try to login but keeps saying logging in and not actually let me use the app ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-05-30, version 2.0.3* We were told to use this by our school for both our kids. Even after years of enduring it, I still find it one of the most confusing, unintuitive learning experiences. Different levels that don’t mean anything, and rather naff games. Just get your kids to read, and read to them. They’ll be fine. ### 1/5 — OH MY GOD. *2026-05-11, version 1.21.4* PLEASE, FOR GODS SAKE, GIVE US A THING WHERE WE CAN DRAW OUR AVATARS INSTEAD OF THAT HORRIFYING THING. ### 1/5 — Me *2026-04-25, version 1.21.4* Horrible ### 1/5 — Bad education *2026-03-13, version 1.21.4* Bad education ### 1/5 — Bad games *2026-03-13, version 1.21.4* There’s bee sighed on Ed shed . com but not on the app ### 1/5 — The worst game possible *2026-03-06, version 1.21.4* The game sucks ### 1/5 — Edshed *2026-02-12, version 1.21.2* It’s a bit boring, but it’s very useful for helping me learn my spellings ### 1/5 — All my points gone *2026-02-06, version 1.21.2* Sort out the app all my points are gone! I was at 25mil now I’m at 5 ### 1/5 — ☠️ *2026-01-21, version 1.21.2* ☠️ I hat this app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why is there grammar arcade at school and you don’t have it? *2026-05-26, version 2.0.3* What is this? ### 5/5 — I love u spelling shed *2026-05-15, version 1.21.4* 10 out of ten ### 5/5 — Download now !!! *2026-03-24, version 1.21.4* This is such a good app This is were they teach you to know your words very well Because of this app I can spell words I never thought I could .

It’s 1 star in reality. I would like it if we could put in the name of our school and then our year group after, then we could practice our real spellings and get better at them. 1 STAR! review by an 8 year old. ### 5/5 — Why is spelling shed good? *2026-03-05, version 1.21.4* It’s a great way for young children to learn how to spell all different words.🩷🤔 ### 5/5 — Yudin result *2026-02-11, version 1.21.2* Really good great for education ### 5/5 — The spelling teacher *2026-01-29, version 1.21.2* I like spelling shed for teaching the spellings and giving us fun games. ### 5/5 — Bee sign serter9489 *2026-01-14, version 1.21.2* Good ### 5/5 — Sophie’s Review!!!😸👩🏽🤳🏽 *2026-01-09, version 1.21.2* It is ok but I don’t like the idea of it being words that I don’t really know when my teachers haven’t set a to-do and it frustrates me a lot but the rest of it is 🆗👍🏼so thank🫵🏼and thank you for letting me go on spelling shed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
