This app is designed to teach children the sounds of the letters and how to construct words, aligning with the science of reading. With two levels of challenge, it indirectly imparts the essential reading skill of segmenting while focusing on the skill of learning to spell words with three phonetic sounds using short vowel words.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions as we strive to provide an enriching educational experience for young learners, rooted in the science of reading.

Verdict

The call

BaseballMath and ABC SPELLING MAGIC both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of ABC SPELLING MAGIC's written reviews are positive against 0% of BaseballMath's. ABC SPELLING MAGIC also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (42 vs 2). BaseballMath's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.4). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BaseballMath holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BaseballMath's written reviews are positive against 94% of ABC SPELLING MAGIC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BaseballMath ships an update every 5 months, ABC SPELLING MAGIC every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
