Perfect for parents: You don’t need to be a spelling expert - we’ve done all the hard work so it’s never been easier to help your children with their spelling.

Ideal for every classroom (and car journey): Full offline access means you can use it in areas with low connectivity and even limit screen time stress by removing the need for an internet connection.

But why will kids love it?

### 5/5 — Why?

*2025-11-20*

Why do you do you have that weird mother voice?

### 1/5 — Awful, waste of time.

*2025-10-19*

The Dynamic Island prevents you from pressing the back button, they give you all spellings before asking you to spell them. Complete waste of time if the aim is to teach spellings.

### 1/5 — Issues with login

*2025-09-27*

I downloaded this on my phone to test for my child and we really liked it. I want to now move it to her own device to use but my device didn’t save my password and login used when I signed up. There is no way that I can find to view my account details to identify the email address I used or to reset the password which means we can’t use this nearly as much as I had wanted to. The app looks good, but password reset is a basic requirement!

### 1/5 — The app won’t even let me register

*2024-11-25*

Can’t use the app as it won’t allow me to register, I put my details in and then when asked the math question it won’t allow me to select the correct answer.

### 5/5 — It doesn’t work for me

*2024-10-20*

It doesn’t let me do phonics test and if there was no password, it would be good

### 1/5 — Creating tests not working

*2023-12-14*

The voice recordings don’t save and plays code instead of the letters of the words created the test.

**Developer response:** Morning renee2425,

You should now find that all voice recordings are working on the Train games and Compete games. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Custom test don’t seem to work

*2023-09-06*

I have set custom tests but it says the answer is wrong every-time in the compete part of game so useless for testing knowledge learnt at the moment!

**Developer response:** Hi Gwdt,

Thank you for your review. 

You should now find that all of the recordings on the Compete game within your Custom Test work correctly.

### 1/5 — Signing in

*2023-03-12*

**Developer response:** Hi RebootedParasote,

You should find that logging in to the Twinkl Spelling iOS App works without any problems. Is it possible that you are trying to use login details for the Twinkl Spelling Web-based App?

### 1/5 — Class logins

*2023-01-22*

Class logins not working!

**Developer response:** Gday Teachlots,
Our Twinkl Learner Logins are designed for use with our Twinkl Spelling for Web product, not the Twinkl Spelling App. You can find out more on our product landing page as we are restricted from discussing non-Apple app issues with you here.
Our TwinkCares team is available to talk to 24/7 and can help you out further with this issue :)
We hope you had a good summer holiday and are ready for back to school! :)
