App-solutely great app!

Word wizard is worth every penny and then some. I love that the vowels on the moveable tiles are a different color than the consonants. The voice is very human-like and easy to understand. Love that you can add your own word lists! The company support is very responsive. During the summer, I requested a way to access the usernames without having to enter a parent password each time and they added that capability in a recent upgrade. For our LD population, this app is invaluable!
Be careful when building words

I do not recommend letting a young reader fly solo with this app. My 8 year old is not a great speller, and, after only building two sentences, the app voice does not pronounce words correctly when words are spelled correctly. It is fine for BASIC phonics, but it does not recognize vowel combinations in words such as "roar." "Roar" sounds as "ra-or" which sent my daughter on a search for an incorrect spelling. If I sit with her, the app is a lot of fun... I just recommend sitting with your child as they use this, and be ready to correct pronunciation. "Mom" sounded as "muh-ahm."
My 5 yr old loves it

This app is awesome for beginning readers/spellers! You can use it to sound out words, copy written words & hear it pronounced, have a parent spell out a word & have kiddo try to sound it out before touching it to hear the word, so many learning possibilities! After my son realized he could make it say funny words like fart he was hooked.
Great App for Developmentally Delayed Child

Thank you so much for this app, I can tell a lot of thought and detail went into it. My child has a developmental delay which makes spelling/reading challenging so I was very happy to find a spelling app that fits our needs perfectly. I was impressed with the built in lists which are plentiful and nicely categorized. Though geared for a much younger child I believe it will keep my kid's interest for some time as we can create our own user defined lists of his favorite things like WWE wrestlers, pop stars, etc. The explosion of stars upon the correct spelling of the word for the "I won" feeling is also a nice touch. When my kid was younger it was a big thrill for him to know he succeeded each step along the way.
wonderful starter keyboard!!

As a teacher of students with physical impairments I love this app. The option to show only the letters needed provides another great scaffold to get children started. I love the different letter sizes and the option to use keyboard emulation for some students.
Great app

We use this app in our homeschooling daily. I like that I can put my own word lists in for my children to work on. My girls like the play time when they finish the quizzes. The support is also very good for this app.
Loving it!

It is as good and reliable as the reviews indicate. Could you add a 3rd element? The ability to crate a list is powerful. Makes me want a reading list; flash card like. The word from a list could come up on the screen, then wait (silently) for the student to read it. If the Student can not read the word, they press on the word and listen to it. Is that another App? Sure would be helpful all in one App.
Just terrible

This app is junk, if only it could pronounce junk correctly. It is really more confusing to a student then a helper. I bought it to help for studying for spelling tests for my 2nd grader. It was not able to differentiate between blue and blew and when dragging the letters up to spell blue it pronounces the blends of letters and said blue at blu which is not the correct spelling for blue so my child didn't know if she was right or wrong since it said blue to her. Maybe good for very very easy words but not for most the English language, pass on this one, a total waste of money.
Awesome app! Improved my son's spelling test scores!

I use it for my 1st grader and kindergardener! I type in my 1st grade son's spelling list on Mondays and he uses the app all week to learn his new spelling words! He has gone from struggling on his spelling tests, to getting 100! great app! Thanks!
