Fun Game!

And exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I think this is a Great game.

I tend to mess up on many of the words in this game. I have only played it for a few minutes and I am hooked. This game is a great way to differentiate between what words need to be used in different situations.

Overall good

This is a decent app, but ironically, have found several mistakes, both in spelling and wrong homonym being used.

In ‘Rosie’ of Level pack 3, the word ‘bassed’ is one of two wrong choices for a question. ‘Based’ is the correct word, not ‘bassed’ which is past tense for bass fishing, and not ‘baste’ either, as in baste a turkey.

Great game!

This game is great for learning the use of homophones! The developer is also a real cool guy so support him by playing the game, watching ads, downloading the games in ads, playing those games, and leaving good reviews! This is Bryan Baumann, I just had your class this past month!

Great Refresher App!

I’m attending college right now, and I am very grateful to this app. It showed me that even though you’ve learned these words before, sometimes everyone could use a good refresher. It’s a great app and I highly recommend it for all ages.
