Add your own spelling words. Your student hears each one read aloud, types their answer, and gets scored instantly. WonderSpell is the spelling test app where you choose the words and see exactly which ones your student has mastered. Works on iPhone and iPad. No generic word lists. No ads. Just the words your child actually needs to learn. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple and create a profile for each child (up to five) 2. Build a test using words you choose - type them in or scan a printed worksheet with your camera 3. Hand the device to your child and let them practice in study mode 4. Review their results and track word mastery over time SCAN WORD LISTS INSTANTLY Skip the typing. Take a photo of your child's printed spelling list and WonderSpell extracts the words automatically. Point your camera at a worksheet, textbook page, or handwritten list and the words are added to a test in seconds. WHAT MAKES WONDERSPELL DIFFERENT - Your words, not ours: Every test uses the words you provide, whether from a classroom list, a textbook, or a worksheet you photograph with the camera - Audio pronunciation: Each word is read aloud with clear pronunciation so your child hears it before they spell it - Smart mastery tracking: The app weighs recent performance more heavily than older results, showing you which words are truly learned and which still need practice - Hints that encourage effort: Hints are available when your child gets stuck, but using one reduces the score for that word, encouraging them to try first - Built for families: Parents sign in with Apple and manage everything. Children never create accounts or share personal information - Works on iPhone and iPad: Full experience on both devices so your family can practice anywhere SMART PRACTICE Dynamic test generation focuses on the words your child struggles with most, so practice time is spent where it matters. Words they have already mastered appear less often, keeping sessions productive and frustration-free. HOMESCHOOL FRIENDLY WonderSpell fits naturally into any homeschool routine. Create custom word lists that match your curriculum, track each student's progress independently, and let your children practice at their own pace. One subscription covers up to five learner profiles. NO ADS. EVER. WonderSpell is a clean, focused experience. There are no banner ads, no interstitials, no data harvesting. Your family's privacy comes first. WORD MASTERY YOU CAN SEE After each session, WonderSpell updates your child's mastery level for every word. You can see at a glance which words are strong, which are improving, and which need more attention. The app identifies weak words automatically so you know exactly where to focus next. BUILT BY A PARENT WonderSpell was built by a parent who wanted a better way to help his own children with weekly spelling homework. It is made with care by For His Glory LLC. FREE TO TRY WonderSpell includes a 7-day free trial with full access to every feature. After the trial, a monthly subscription keeps everything available. One subscription covers up to 6 learner profiles with unlimited tests. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account.

Hear it. Write it. Learn it. SpellInk is a handwriting-first spelling and vocabulary practice app designed for focused learning without ads, accounts, or distractions. HEAR THE WORD SpellInk uses the device's built-in voice to say each word aloud. Hear it again, hear it in a sentence, or check the meaning when you need help. WRITE IT BY HAND Handwriting is the default practice method. Write with a finger or stylus on the on-screen writing paper, see what SpellInk recognizes, then check your spelling. Keyboard input is also available in grown-up settings. WORK THROUGH EVERY WORD Choose a grade or vocabulary level and SpellInk keeps track of coverage so words are not forgotten simply because a session ended. Practice gradually moves through unseen words while bringing back words that need review. SMART REVIEW Words that are missed, need hints, or have not been practiced recently return for another attempt. Progress separates words that are unseen, learning, and mastered. SPELLING TESTS YOUR WAY Choose 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, a custom number, or every word in the selected bank. Large all-word tests are resumable, so they can be completed over multiple sittings. USE YOUR OWN WORDS Create custom spelling lists for school, homeschool, tutoring, spelling bees, or weekly homework. Practice or test only that list, with its own coverage and progress. LEARN, PRACTICE, REVIEW • Learn new words with meaning and example sentences • Practice by handwriting or keyboard • Review tricky words • Take configurable spelling tests • Track coverage and mastery • Use preschool through high-school word levels • Create unlimited custom word lists BUILT FOR PRIVACY AND OFFLINE USE No ads. No account. No in-app purchases. No behavioral tracking. Progress, settings, and custom lists are stored on the device. Device speech and handwriting recognition are designed to work offline after the required on-device language resources are installed. SpellInk keeps the experience simple: listen carefully, remember the spelling, write it, and improve one word at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpellInk at none against WonderSpell's 1. SpellInk also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). WonderSpell's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
