OMG

The latest update is horrific! As a premium paid member I have a ton more set up to do for my students for them to use the app. There are less choices as I can only assign 10 assignments. That's right, I HAVE to assign. They can't choose. While using iPads with 23 students, I have had on average over the first two weeks of school, 9-11 students that have had the app constantly "kick" them out every time we used the program. Difficult to manage while I am working with small groups to constantly troubleshoot the "kick out". Not even almost considering renewing the premium account. Will move on. Oh yeah...never even notified of all of the login changes...discovered it as we all had iPads and started to use it. WOW!
WHA Happened???!!!

Although this is only my third year using this app, all 35 of my spelling lists have been entered and are ready to go. All 30 of my students have been uploaded and are ready to go. The thing that's NOT ready is this app. Why on earth would I download the app on my device and the 16 student iPads just to be directed to the web. Certainly this is something that will be fixed, right?? I hate (yes, I feel that strongly) the changes that have been made, especially for students logging in and teachers creating assignments. Everything from last year was fine. Why change it at all? There's no way I'm adding our new vocabulary lists now. What a disappointment.
So great!!!

My computer is not working and this is great!! I'm getting my homework done easy, and I don't understand why everyone is giving it one star!!!
I want to love it

But why the heck does it fail a student for not capitalizing the first letter. Is there a way to turn this feature off? My daughter uses the iPad to play and that makes her fail nearly every test. Also I set the list up, select the games, and then none of them are playable. We have to go to the "all games" tab from the list screen which is confusing for little ones.
This app USED to be great

I've used this app for years. Even subscribing as a "premium" member. It WAS great. But, the newest versions is absolutely worthless. The app is now ONLY for premium members....yet even when logging in as premium member, it is useless. Takes you to a web. Asked format. No teach me. No Test me function. This has been our go to studying app for 5 years. Subscribing for almost the full time. They have ruined this great app. Using Quizlet now instead. It's great.
Unbelievable!

How do you call this an app when it opens up in Safari? This is Not An App! This is a huge security concern for me as my children play on their iPads. I pay way too much money on your program and it's not worth continuing. In addition, your site is not very user-friendly. I'm sorry, but you will be losing a loyal customer of three years.
No Sound

We use the premium version on the computer, so decided to put it on the ipad for easier use by my youngest who needs the phonetic games. My youngest started crying when he discovered there was no sound. Further investigation revealed that the Apple app does not work on an ipad because Flash is required. Why even make the app in the first place? -Totally useless.
Not happy!

I have used this app for years and now I have to pay to even use app! Terrible decision and not happy about it. Guess we will look for something different. I assume that's why our teacher isn't using it anymore
Just wow

Ok,I'm a student,but I'm not saying that I don't like it,but IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T EVEN WORK! This app is ****
Waste of time!!!!!

Our school assigns this as part of the daily homework and therefore must be completed as part of the grade. It is just more busy work with no observable help with spelling for all that it is touted as making spelling fun - it is worthless as it doesn't help learn the words. You still have to practice spelling the "old fashioned" way so it essentially is doubling the work load for spelling.
