### 2/5 — Bad

*2026-09-07, version 4.0.0*

Bro when they say the word it sounds like a something else this app is not good but it’s ok.

### 4/5 — Amazing!

*2026-08-30, version 3.2.1*

They should make the arrow gray on vocabulary and you can not submit the answer until finished

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-20, version 3.2.3*

Great for studying for spelling bee, but i have two suggestions:

1. Make some games for spelling instead of just test modes

2. Make a similar one to the typing one, except for you have to say it and you can’t see what you’ve spelled, but get like a limited restart button

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-04-15, version 3.2.3*

Great for spelling practice, but there is a glitch where if you type a word sometimes it says you got it wrong but you didn’t.

### 2/5 — Spelling bee

*2026-04-03, version 3.2.3*

When I took the spelling bee I memorized all of the words on the app but I lost and that is why it wrote this review.

### 3/5 — Good but needs improvement

*2026-03-17, version 3.2.3*

Needs better interface and need something to do with the bees also if you press the enter button twice on accident it marks is as wrong

### 4/5 — Very helpful!

*2026-03-14, version 3.2.3*

I love this app, and it has helped me prepare for regionals. There are a lot of words that I struggle with just about every time they come up, even though I might have most words in a section memorized, so I would like to be able to quiz myself on only the words I have bookmarked. If there's not already a way to do that, I think it would be really nice if that feature was added. This is a really great app!

EDIT 3/14:
It would also be nice to be able to just view the lists (with definitions and pronunciations)

### 4/5 — Yayayaya

*2026-03-05, version 3.2.3*

So much fun MAKES ME SOOO SMART!!!

### 4/5 — My opinion of Word Club

*2026-02-25, version 3.2.1*

Word club is a fantastic app created with the mindset to help make your spelling journey fun. Although it is wonderful on its own, there are a few tips I would include in it. These tweaks are having a place to spend bees, having multiple levels, and having different modes like multi player mode, challenge mode, lightning round, and more! I wish that you take these suggestions into consideration for improvements and changes to this app. Thank you for taking time to read this!

                    Sincerely Speller Raaga Lalisetti

### 5/5 — Very good study tool

*2026-02-22, version 3.2.3*

I am currently headed to regional championships! If I win I go to DC. Awesome app. My only suggestion is to maybe tone down the bell sound, it kind of hurts my ears.

### 3/5 — gGhFfv gXfYhFFfGtIjHbb??

*2026-02-21, version 3.2.3*

I tried to type boogie-woogie wrong I need a hyphen. I tried to type déjà vu wrong I missed the accents. Any time you miss minor things, it says you’re wrong.

### 4/5 — It’s good

### 5/5 — So

*2026-02-16, version 3.2.3*

Really good practice

### 4/5 — So good

*2026-02-14, version 3.2.3*

The flash cards are amazing, and the app is really well structured. There are encouraging words for every. Correct spelling. The only problem is a weird glitch where when I click the pronounce button, it won’t. Otherwise it is a good app! For integument, it says it, and then says intellectual? What in the world?!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-02-14, version 3.2.3*

Amazing. This really helped me and my daughter spell. She won the speeling bee at her school and w found this was an amazing way how to memorize words. I rate it all the way to the highest ranking possible

### 4/5 — 🐝 DEVS, PLEASE READ IT ALL 🐝

*2026-02-14, version 3.2.3*

This app is great for studying words. However, there is an ongoing bug where the audio just stops working. It’s really annoying because the only way to solve it is to fully restart the app. I will be doing flashcards, and then the sound will stop working. I can’t hear the pronunciation of the words. When I restart the app, my progress on flash cards isn’t saved. It automatically shuffles them and puts me at the beginning. This is annoying because it sets back my studying. I have to go back and figure out which words I did and didn’t do. So even if you don’t fix the sound bug, can you make an option to save your progress on the flash cards? That would be a really good feature, especially since I occasionally restart the app by mistake and lose progress. Other than that, the only thing I would recommend is having multiple ways to do your bookmarks. You can only do flashcards on them, but I’d love to have quizzes. Plus, I’d like a way to clear all of the bookmarks, so I don’t have to do it manually every time I restart my studying yearly. Anyway, I know those were a lot of suggestions. It’s still a great app that’s helped me win multiple school spelling bees! I like that everything is broken down by letter, which makes studying less stressful for me. It would be cool if there was a list of all of the letters so I could quiz as if I was in an actual spelling bee. Just a thought, though. It already helps a lot since it has actual words used in the spelling bee! Thanks for this amazing app!

### 1/5 — Bad review

*2026-08-12, version 3.2.3*

It sounds like it’s trying to be rude. It only makes a sound when u get the a wrong. Not when u get it right. That is not the only thing though: the app overall sucks for all ages in countless ways

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-07-22, version 3.2.3*

marks correct words wrong and breaks streaks

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-04-18, version 3.2.3*

I think  this application is not good because I think you should be able to spell the word by speaking to a audio recording so you can practice for the spelling bee

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-02-14, version 3.2.3*

It’s horrible it did not help me study. It says it’s reliable it’s not I won first place and I won without this it’s false advertisement

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-07, version 3.2.3*

I am very disappointed that there is no true study option, only quizzes. I was hopeful for a complete list of words on the app for convenience and pronunciations. We have the paper list but it’s cumbersome and we have to look up pronunciations and definitions. The app could simply have the list of words. The games are useless until you’ve studied! My 9 year old found this useless.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2026-02-01, version 3.2.3*

It doesn’t tell you what bee you should pick .

### 1/5 — Rating

*2026-01-27, version 3.2.3*

Best app ever! It is worth zero star rating!

### 1/5 — Not bad

*2026-01-27, version 3.2.3*

Not bad, it’s really good at testing, but every time you do a typo it doesn’t let you correct it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t like me

*2026-01-20, version 3.2.3*

Tried doing it gave me almost every word wrong! If you want to be the worst at spelling and vocabulary, than this app is suitable just for you!

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2026-01-09, version 3.2.3*

The app was way to hard for my students and it would never work. This app was allways glitching  and it would not stop l. It is not helpful  in any way shape or form. 1 star do not install

### 5/5 — Scripps Bee

*2026-08-31, version 4.0.0*

Good. Just good.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.0*

This app is truly bodacious and it helped me tremendously! It improves your ability to spell and understand the definitions of complex words through a variety entertaining games and quizzes. I recommend this to anyone who loves words, is looking for a way to improve their spelling skills, or wanting to get to truly know the English language and the words society does not use as often.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-22, version 3.2.3*

I won my school spelling bee all because of this app! And I did a spelling test in the same school to be qualified for a state spelling bee located at a university, and now I could go! I'll keep using this!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2026-02-25, version 3.2.3*

This app really helped me achieve the regional qualifier, and now I’m getting ready for regionals and nationals! This app is great for bee training and preparing!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-02-23, version 3.2.3*

Im trying to win my county spelling bee and it would not be possible without this amazing app!😂 Otherwise I'd just have to sit at my desk and read through allllll the pages of Words of the Champion. The app elevates this because you can hear the pronunciation and ask all the wuestions you would ask at the actual spelling bee. Its free and theres no ads! TOTALLY WORTH IT!
