Sight Words by Little Speller for Negative User Reviews

✓ Recording sound isn't working.I used to love this app until the record part of the app stopped working. I have tried everything possible to fix it and even wrote the creator an email and have not heard back. It still does not work on any of my multiple devices..Reading teacher4Version: 1.6

✓ ConfusingThis uses letter NAMES at a time when children will be using sounds so can cause confusion. Change this and you might be closer to an age appropriate app. Check the list of words used too.....Paul EmoVersion: 2.0

✓ Font causes confusionThis app is great! Customizable for skill level. The one suggestion I have is change the font to match the display. Typeset fonts like this one confuse kids because the way we write "a" is very different than this font and its hard for kids to correlate between the fonts and the letter..IglittergirlVersion: 1.6

✓ Good start but needs some rigorGrasshopper apps have hit on a good formula, but the formula could be improved. For Little Speller, we use it to practice weekly spelling lists for our 2nd and 3rd graders. And I create lists that include the words from past weeks to retain the words. In 2nd & 3rd grade though, these kids are getting grades on spelling tests. This app would be far more useful if we had the option of creating a "quiz" round where a specific number of words could be put in a 'test' list. At the end of the list, the kids should see their success percentage. The other recommended change is that you should be able to set the number of words to practice and get a success percentage at the end, or use in practice mode with no final score. The missed words should cycle back in the test list. There is a lot of flexibility in this app, and the kids enjoy it. But the options are limited for creating a school-like test.

✓ Needs Aussie optionGreat app, could use an option to change accent to Australian and make it say zed instead of zee. My daughter finds it difficult to work out what the lady is saying..GedemVersion: 1.5

✓ Pretty goodI love the customization features. I wish that mistakes were allowed. It is impossible to make mistakes as letters automatically go to the correct spot. Limits learning. Make this a custom feature and this app would get 5 stars from me..PhattymcgeeVersion: 1.5

✓ Fantastic app...needs one thing thoughThis app is wonderful! The only thing that could make it better would be the ability to share and load customized lists through Dropbox like the "Sight Words" app. Hoping for an update! :).AllieSalzVersion: 1.6

✓ Not RecommendedWhilst the customisation is useful I encountered some errors using IOS5. The app was not engaging and my child did not enjoy this..Tattoo EnthusiastVersion: 1.5

✓ Problems!Newest iOS update messed up the sound. The game no longer says the letters as the child spells them. This is happening on the 5 iPad minis & an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1, so I know it's not my settings. Please fix soon!! This is by far the best spelling app I've found. And I've not had any issues on the 7 devices I have it installed on. There is one (more) thing I would like to see in this app. In the near future, I would like to see the option of adding extra letters for choices, making it a bit of a challenge. For example, if the child is to spell the word "them" the letters to spell 'them' would be on the board as well as a few extra. Of course, how many extra letters to add should be up to the parent/teacher. Thank you for a great app!!.ILVTXVersion: 2.0

✓ Recorder is not workingSometimes this app works and other times it does not. Very frustrating. Recorder is not working and when you customize,the person reading the word is saying the wrong thing. For example the word is "home" but the program voice is saying "now". I am disappointed..Rooch75Version: 1.6

✓ What happenedThis app use to be amazing when you could individualize lists. Now whenever I hit the record button, nothing happens. I have e-mailed grasshopper about the issue, but have not had a response in two weeks..EramoskVersion: 1.6

✓ Good in theoryI've tried for ages to get it to record our voices. It just doesn't work. It's a good app but not customisable as it just doesn't record..ZzdzzhzzVersion: 1.6
