I guess I like this game, the thing is though, the voices on the games are kinda creepy, and when I'm searching for the list, it often takes me a long time to find it, so people should be able to search for the list.
WARNING This site is not based on research into the most effective ways children learn to spell. The program is American with vocabulary learning to enhance reading comprehension as the focus...PLEASE do not allow your schools or children to learn to spell with this.
If you want to do it on your own and have more than 4 words. Your looking at the wrong place. If you want to do many other words, you either pay for it or you sign up in school. So frustrating.
Got this app for my child because they use it in school. I even paid for the membership. Still doesn't work on her tablet!!!!! I'm going to cancel the membership. Such a waste!!!!!!!!
This app DOES NOT WORK! I (a student) got a 12/24 on a test because I accidentally CAPITALIZED THE LETTERS, I spelled them ALL CORRECTLY and I still got a 12!!!! THAT'S GOING TO BE ON MY RECORDS because of this app! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!
My daughter actually in love this game because she hasn't been learning so much for me that'd axisgo words and do her work and always have them return but her classmates to seek I really love this game and you guys you guys did a great job
This is not a good app at all I paid $30 something for this for it not to work. I'm really disappointed and I hope they don't take anymore money out of my account
I downloaded this app for my students Amazon fire tablets. Now the app is saying out of date but is no longer in the Amazon app store. Making my use of the tablets obsolete!!!
app wouldn't ever open, just kept saying server wasn't available than closed. never even got to try it.
Horrible because I can't get in with my user name and password and in red letters it says " It's now in KIDS A-Z now go to login." I think this is rediculous because of this. 2/5 Stars
the version of spelling city i am attempting to use to running extra slow and wont read the words aloud
This app is really bad it says the word writing is raining.the voices are creepy and it is very laggy.
I was doing my word it had three syllables and I put three but it said it was wrong every answered I tried was wrong fix the app
Its is really bad the graphics is bad and the keyboard is too small or it doesn't work
its a good learing site and i love the app i can have fun while learning i suggest people who dont have it and has kids u should get this app.
You get redirected to a website to sign up and then you can't log in from the app.
it don't really like it because it does mostly Vocabulary not spelling
O my Gosh this game is dang fun like the coolest game and I love the game sometime takes half hour but I do not mind😏 I wish I can give 💯 but I can't soo I give it 100😑
Poorly animated why am i being forced to do this very laggy dosent save work creepy voices(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
It's an awesome way to learn my words and spelling
this is a great app and offers great stuff to help kids learn thank you
It's ok but I can never here anything and my volume is on max I also tried headphones
This thing doesn't work it won't let me login as a student fix this app please👿👿👿👿
I think this is one of the most amazing/awesome and cool apps I ever used;)!!!!!!!!!
The sound on this app doesn't work
I think it makes people really smart and it makes their mom and dad so happy and surprised and I bet every kid on earth likes this game and even I like this game so it is so great
I like it because it allows you to do spelling without writing
This used to be a Great App but I hate it now because KIDS A-Z bought this so it's Useless and I think it's Useless because Vocab is different, can't review an assignment more than once, I can't play the games anymore, you have to do the assignments in order too. But the good thing in KIDS A-Z is Avatars but other than that worst app ever. I have it 5 stars because the actual Spelling City was amazing
