Software Reviews and Criticism

  Worth the money!

  I really like the fact that it saves the words that your child is working on. So you can custom build lists. I also like the fact that it allows you to record your own voice if you have a headset with a microphone. This saves the child from always asking what did the computer generated voice say? It also repeats the word twice in a very short interval. This is a nice touch. I am already seeing progress with my son in being able to spell various body part words. It has only crashed once on me. I was able to restart and haven't had any problems since. I recommend this program. Update works great. I was able to export my tests from one Windows to another with Dropbox. It worked flawlessly. I love it. It is so nice. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  Awesome! this one deserves 5 stars

  We loved it so much on the iPads we figured we'd get it for the Macs.  As hard as it is to believe, it seems better then on the iPad.  They did a great job on this layout and so-far runs flawless. The kids actually WANT to practice there spelling lists with it.  Sometimes all 3 are using different devises running SpellBoard at the same time and would rather use it then play the arcade games. It's so easy to use that all 3 (youngest being 6) are sending quizzes to each other that they made up themselves (across different platforms). Its great to watch them learning and having fun at the same time! The only problem is, that it's getting hard to find an unused devise that I can use and get in on the action. Thanks SpellBoard GREAT job.

  Best Spelling List App!

  I've seen apps that do one or two of the things that this app does. The word search puzzle feature is brilliant! I love being able to put in my own words for each week and then being able to go back to those lists later. The sentence feature is really nice and being able to drag photos in from the stockxchange is an invaluable time saver. Learning is happening and the variety of tasks sets this app apart. It would be cool to have some sort of reward system, a mini game or sticker collection game. This would put this already amazing app over the top.

  Good. But could be even better.

  This seems to be the best spelling program available in the Microsoft store. Would be even better with the following added/fixed: - not being able to resize windows is a little annoying, especially when working with long spelling lists. - would be good if the program prompted you to choose a student when logging in (when you have more than one). - incorporating Microsoft's inbuilt spell check would be handy for adding your own custom words. - can't close the substitutions dialog without going to the menu and selecting "hide substitutions". - would be handy to be able to search for and remove duplicate words from long custom spelling lists. - when editing long custom spelling lists it would be good to have an auto-save function and "next" option so you don't have to edit a word, save it, go back to the whole list and look for the next word you want to edit.
