Spelling Test feature
This is the best App I have found for my son to study his weekly spelling words. You can add your own spelling list and record yourself saying the word which is key to helping them lean. Unlike some other Apps this one had a hint feature on the word scramble that will allow the kids to hear the word they are unscrambling, which is really important when the kids are trying to learn their new words. My only issue with the App that I wish they could fix my issue with the actual "Spelling Test" I'm not sure if it is just our iPad, but my son is given the standard iPad key board to type our the word during a practice test. The only problem with that is there is too many features on the key board that the kids don't need, like: TAB, CAP LOCK, all the NUMBERS, EMOJI ICONS, & the usful MICROPHONE that actually helps the kids cheat.

There's a problem !
I just figured out that there's a problem with this app. If you make one mistake for any activity, you won't get your badge even if it takes you a long time to complete. It makes you feel discouraged--like you don't know any of your spelling words. You should make a limit for how many that you can get wrong to still get the badge for an activity. If you get some wrong, it could say "practice more" near the badge. I'm eight years old. I'm in third grade, so trust me I have hard words so I know.

I like it, but....
This app could use some fine tuning to make it better. My first suggestion is to make the letters lowercase. I think it's important that children see and spell the word the way you would normally see them in everyday reading. You usually do not see a word in all caps. The user selection could be more usher friendly for kids. The moving honeycombs in multiple lines is dizzying for my daughter. May 1 or 2 rows would be better. Overall it's a useful app. Would just to see these changes.

Game changer
I’ve been trying to find something that will keep my kids engaged and wanting to do their prep for the upcoming spelling test. This has solved the melt downs over the idea. My kids are 9 and 6 and thrive using this app. Just what I needed.

Awesome app!!!
I love that you can program words from your spelling list. Kids are more engaged because they have study options plus the app has a spelling bee to check your child's progress.

Amazing Application
My son has struggled in spelling after starting 2nd grade in an international school. His first sets of scores were 31% and a 38% respectively. I installed this application to give him a full week of using it. According to screen time he used it an average of 34 minutes a day for that week (M-Th). This week he has a 100%. He even spelled the tricky word (Resourceful) correctly. I do not know if those results are unusual but wanted to share exactly our story. Thanks Devs, Rob

Keeps crashing
I get 3-4 words on the list and the app closes. I’ve tried several times even uninstalling and reinstalling the app. It’s a shame the 3-4 words I could get it to take my son liked playing with. Useless if you can’t get the entire spelling list in there for your child to study. I would like a refund 😕

Audio problems,
We just purchased and when we try to record the word by voice, the app crashes. Also, in the honeybee swarm, no word is heard despite having the volume all the way up. Please fix these two issues. Using latest OS.

Shutting down
My app is updated to the latest version and I cannot create a word list due to the app constantly shutting down. Then when you go to log back in, you cannot edit your word list. It makes you create a whole new list. Do not download. It’s frustrating

Just ok not worth $2
I wouldn't recommend this. The way the letters move in the spelling swarm it makes you dizzy and nauseous. I think there are much better games for free than this paid one. I will use since I have it but I wouldn't recommend it

Seems like a great App
Loved the games. I couldn’t figure out how to record my own lists. Wouldn’t work no matter what I tried. Then the program froze my screen. It has potential to be great, but not if I can’t record and it freezes my screen.

Marks correct spelling as wrong
This game is unhelpful for spelling practice. It marks a word wrong if it is not on the word list. For example, it marked "cork" as wrong, because it wanted us to spell "rock." It marked "posh" as wrong because it was looking for "shop."

Awesome for my 1st grader!!
This app is wonderful for my 1st grader studying his spelling words! It has several games they can play with the words from a list you create and record. One game is alphabetize, another is word scramble. Some are visual and some are auditory and visual. There are also lists you can choose from depending on level, etc....highly recommend! Well worth it!!

Mom of a 3rd grader
This app is a great tool for studying for a spelling bee. It says a word, then the child types the word. I also made my own list of National Spelling Bee words. You can record the word in your voice, and then the child has to type the word. It's great! I see us using this app to study each spelling list, weekly. Well worth the $$. Plus, there are games to play.

What a "bee"utiful way to add to a child's curriculum
In searching for a way to further engage my kids in their spelling I happened across this app. We couldn't be happier. 15 min. at a time once or twice a day has greatly improved not just spelling but their reading skills as well. Well worth the price and space. We've used this from kindergarten up.

A fun way to learn to spell!
I really like the pre-made word lists coupled with the ability to add our own words. The different games keep things interesting. This is a great educational tool and fun for kiddos. It's the type of app you don't mind handing to your child because you know they'll learn from it.

Buggy
This is a wonderful app if it works at least 50% of the time. I've used it for two years when there was no other comparative one. Sometimes the record/stop button will function in reverse. Two of the games used to help learn the words does not work. We just use the list to enter and pronounce the words and my daughter studies using the "scramble" game and "self" test. Fix the bugs and its a great learning tool.

Almost
This app seems fairly good but it would be nice to add to the study section. such as add to saying the word a spell aloud the word as an intro or could even just have them retype what is in front of them. My kids don't have the list memorized so it makes the scramble honeycomb list hard without hints.

This is a knockoff version of Spellboard
Apps should be forced to offer money back guarantees since you can't preview for a period of time to learn they are a waste of money or a watered down version of another app. You'd be better off purchasing Spellboard, you can do more in addition to what this limited app does. I want my .99 back for nothing new.
