Not intuitive, not helpful, waste of money
What a terrible App, you need to go to the internet for tutorials. I just wanted to load my grandchild’s spelling list so that he could practice through the week. Fat chance. He will be out of college before I can figure that out. Terrible App
crashes instantly, I want my money back
Doesn't work at all
I helps but
It is a good spelling app but it made the iPad so glitch. We have spent so many problems try to fix the glitching but. None of them worked pleas fix this issue
super bad
super glitchy and bad
Stopped working with lists
I really liked this but we bought it 3 weeks ago and now the custom lists function is not working. I can’t get to any support. I would like a refund.
Awful
The app never works and crashes when it does
Crashing all the time
Love the concept, but the app is crashing all the time to the point it is not usable. Please fix it !
Hard to Understand
It is VERY hard to understand what word they are trying to have the child spell. A waste of money.
Not American English, it’s British English
It made it difficult for my child to understand dictation.
Only one game
We purchased this for use to supplement our own spelling lists. With these custom lists, you can only play one game on the app (compared with the online version where you can play multiple different games). Save your money and just access through the web. My kids do love the games, but they’ll never use the app because they want options.
