Great app for y2 spelling

Super way to help children learn the weekly spellings. The audio is her favourite bit as we add jokes to keep her engaged. Incredibly easy to share lists across devices.
I think developers could improve allowing screen rotation.

OK, but needs improvement

Cons
It is not clear why the app requires you to log in (giving your email address) in order to share a spelling list, as you don't need to use the same email address to share a list.
No total score is given when a child finishes a list. You can look up number of attempts for each word individually and colour is red if the LAST response was wrong. But unhelpfully each time the list is used the 'attempts' score merges.
The sharing list facility is only helpful for children all using their own ipad. If you want more than one child to use the same device their attempts are merged with the previous user's score, so no useful individual scores.

Pros
The look cover check approach is helpful
It's good to be able to add your own word lists.

Developer Response ,

Hi Vicky - if you log in you can securely share the lists you have created with anyone! Its not about getting your email address. And if you tap on the i button on each wordlist you can see the words that the speller has tried, so you have a good record of what they have done. Hope this helps you!
