iPad papa,
Custom words needs help
The canned words are good. The audio is fairly clear as well. The custom words needs more work. I was unable to figure out how to edit or remove custom words. I will give 5 stars when this is fixed!
Snmak,
Great App!
I have only had this app for 20 minutes or so, but my daughter has been playing it for that whole time! The voice is nice and clear and you can easily understand what words they are saying. I like how it repeats the letter names and the word, but if I had one request it would be that it sounded out the word at some point. I would like for her to learn that the letters make sounds to make up the word, not just memorize the letters to make up the words. Thanks for a great app and I look forward to updates, hopefully containing letter sounds! :)
O'Kelley,
Not so good
Just bought this for my iPad2 and the sound doesn't work. Contacted them and got a quick response but problem not yet resolved.
Ok I'm changing my review because of the Great cust. Service. I contacted them about the sound problem and they were right on it, offering help and staying in contact til it was solved. Got sound having a blast spelling. K level son is spelling 4-5 letter wods with this already.
Thanks for great service!

SkinTrade,
Awesome App for early elementary
My kids love this app. Makes spelling fun. I like that it has lists for each grade level from pre-k to 3rd grade. Kids can learn, practice, and take tests. It also keeps track of test scores. You can also make your own customized lists for words the kids are learning in school. Just create the list, add the word and record your pronunciation of the word. Just like that you have a customized test your kids can do narrated by mom and dad!
MomW/apps,
Should include phonics piece.
This app is great for young students and children with learning disabilities. For $3, this app should also contain the phonics piece. You will need spend an additional $3 to have the phonics use, which I feel is excessive. Sometimes, the child's voice does not enunciate well the ending sound of a word, and you need to have the word repeated or guess.

I downloaded this application a week ago and it is still being used.
Update: There are new words with this update, but I wish I could add my own words, that would make it a perfect app for young children.

DaveInSM,
Love the app
This app greatly helped our five year old get ready for kindergarten. Her reading improved dramatically and she moved on to chapter books since mastering all 600 words from this app.
Edit: multiple custom lists help us focus on problem areas.

MamaTSL,
Good but room for improvements
I love having the ability to add our personalized words! My one suggestion that would GREATLY improve this app would be to have the ability to quiz with the addition of pictures for those that has auditory processing delays
SageMama808,
Needs Improvement
I love this app because you can add your own word lists, but I wish they would come up with a better way to "reward" the child. Snapping bubbles are not so fun. Other apps have way more fun means of giving rewarding encouragement for a job well done.
aberg04,
Nice
Nice app for my children. I can tell a person with experience in teaching is behind this app - huge difference between this and most of the cheaper apps that I have installed.
