The Spelling Bee for Negative User Reviews

✓ Keeps crashingI 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 😕.WhydontthingsworkrightVersion: 1.5

✓ This is a knockoff version of SpellboardApps 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..MeWhoDatVersion: 1.0

✓ BuggyThis 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..Kitty=KatVersion: 1.4

✓ CrashesApp hasn’t been updated. Crashes all the time. Prior to IOS 10, app worked great. It was a great tool for my son..Momof#3smgVersion: 1.5

✓ Marks correct spelling as wrongThis 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.".Greyish ghostVersion: 1.5

✓ 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..MushyopalVersion: 1.5

✓ Just ok not worth $2I 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.Mr.Thompson67Version: 1.5

✓ Shutting downMy 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.EppihlVersion: 1.5

✓ Not even worth 1 starThis was so hard to navigate. I tried before my son was allowed to use it. NOT EVEN GONNA WASTE ANYMORE TIME WITH THIS APP..MommalamprechtVersion: 1.5

✓ 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..Disappointed fuji fanVersion: 1.5

✓ Not GreatLooking for an app that I could put my kids spelling list into and have him play games. This does that but the games are t great and it is super glitchy! Try a different one. Wish I could have my $2 back!.JKYumaTeacherVersion: 1.7

✓ Horrible!!!!!!!I paid $1.99 for this crap! It stops suddenly and glitches continuously!! This is the worse app EVER! Do NOT buy this app!!!!!!!.JustwantaappthatworksVersion: 1.5

✓ Can not get recording goI don’t know what is wrong with this app, but it won’t record any word and it keeps crashing. Please fix it or I want my money back..YegikyanVersion: 1.5

✓ AlmostThis 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..Famwith3Version: 1.0

✓ Seems like a great AppLoved 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..Scooby-no-dooVersion: 1.5

✓ Wasted1, It won't allow any new words to pronounce automatically. 2, there are a lot of manual work for kids. Not efficient. 3, there are not enough words in their list.Bala ThayaparanVersion: 1.5

✓ UnstableThis app crashes all the time.Seala81Version: 1.5
