Simplex Spelling HD Reviews

Wonderful App

This app is a great tool for kids to play while learning. Our kids loved it! We look forward to updates with more levels (more difficult words). Interface is easy to use and background/colors are easy on the eyes; not too distracting. Just great over all!!! Developer support is also fabulous. Developer listens to questions/comments and answers in a timely manner. We also look forward to the ability to add our own words (without having to record them). Love it!

wonderful app

reminds me of a toy i had as a child. Love this app.My 2 children both use the app easily with no frustration. I highly recommend this app to learn spelling the Dolch sight words. Great for ALL children.

Words just too basic

Should my be used by anyone past 1st grade. Would be great if they hard a longer list of words all the words were 3 to 5 letters. Not worth the 5 dollars

Great app

My six yearold daughter loves using this app to practice her spelling. Highly recommended.

Fun way to work on dreaded task.

Our daughter has mild auditory processing issues. Since several letter pairs sound the same to her, she's not a big fan of spelling. This app and the Simplex Sight Words make her practice time much more fun and productive, which makes us both happy. Can't wait to see how she progresses!

Good start, but would benefit from some improvements

I teach 2nd grade & my younger child is a struggling reader/speller, so I was very excited to get this. My philosophy is that, for the most part, sight words cannot/should not be sounded out & kids need to learn to read them "in a snap". Spelling is different & as much practice in a variety of ways is good. That said, the app could use some adjustments. First, the pronunciation of the words is not always clear. Second, just because a word is spelled on the first try doesn't mean it is mastered. Students should spell each word correctly a few times for this.

My son loves this.

wide range

My son has dyslexia, and the "reverse" phonics is fun for him. It is different than reading, yet it essentially teaches the same skills. We tried out the lite version, and he liked it so much, we bought the HD iPad version.

Like the approach

Spelling is a challenge for my son who does not sound out words to spell. I appreciate the systematic nature of this app and it seems to be helping. I've never heard of reverse phonics but it makes sense and might help with reading as well. Any app requested more than once is a winner at our house.

Amazing!

Hands down one of the best spelling apps that's have ever used with my students. I work with students with Autism and this has helped bring their sight words up to near grade level. They love to work and spell out their words. They are happy to use the program, they never feel of it as hard work and ask for it by name. I would recommend this app to everyone!

Great App

This is a great app! I use it with my 10yo son with Autism, and he is doing really well. Very easy to use.
