BrightWren is a calm, focused spelling practice app for families, independent learners, adult learners, and anyone building confidence with written English. It covers American English spelling and punctuation, and it works offline. Hear a word and spell it with BrightWren's letter keyboard without autocorrect. Miss one and the correct spelling appears beside what you wrote. Words you miss are added to Words to Meet Again and stay there until they are spelled correctly. Practice those words at any time. WHAT'S INCLUDED - 540 spelling words in 47 built-in lists - Foundational spelling and interest-based lists for writing, nature, space, farming, inventions, home construction, colors, and calendars - Your choice of what happens after a miss: type the word again, write its sentence on paper and compare it with the sentence BrightWren shows, or continue with spelling only - Make a list from a school page: scan it with the camera, choose a photo, open a text file, or type or paste the words - Formal spelling assessments and assessment history - Practice history and printable homeschool portfolio reports - Adjustable text size, light or dark theme, and voice options FREE VERSION The free version includes three built-in lists, every practice mode, assessments for those lists, one profile, and portfolio preview and printing with a Sample watermark. FULL VERSION One purchase opens the other 44 built-in lists, your own lists (typed, pasted, scanned from a page, or brought in from a photo or text file), up to ten profiles, and portfolio printing without the Sample watermark. You pay once. There is no subscription and nothing renews. If you reinstall or get a new device, Restore purchases in Settings brings the full version back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN BrightWren has no account, advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics. Learner names, custom lists, practice results, and records are stored on the device. Pages and photos you scan are read on the device, and only the words are kept. BrightWren does not send learner information to the developer. The app connects to the App Store only to check, buy, or restore the full version. When you choose to save, print, or share a record, iOS handles the destination you choose.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BrightWren at every 6 days against Flagsay's every 3 months. BrightWren also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
