Spelling

I love it! It helps my kids learn spelling so much easier I definitely recommend!

Game changer

I’ve been trying to find something that will keep my kids engaged and wanting to do their prep for the upcoming spelling test. This has solved the melt downs over the idea. My kids are 9 and 6 and thrive using this app. Just what I needed.

Ok

It ok

Not Great

Looking for an app that I could put my kids spelling list into and have him play games. This does that but the games are t great and it is super glitchy! Try a different one. Wish I could have my $2 back!

Spelling Test feature

This is the best App I have found for my son to study his weekly spelling words. You can add your own spelling list and record yourself saying the word which is key to helping them lean. Unlike some other Apps this one had a hint feature on the word scramble that will allow the kids to hear the word they are unscrambling, which is really important when the kids are trying to learn their new words. My only issue with the App that I wish they could fix my issue with the actual "Spelling Test" I'm not sure if it is just our iPad, but my son is given the standard iPad key board to type our the word during a practice test. The only problem with that is there is too many features on the key board that the kids don't need, like: TAB, CAP LOCK, all the NUMBERS, EMOJI ICONS, & the usful MICROPHONE that actually helps the kids cheat.
