Parents, schools and districts across the country and the world continue to use VocabularySpellingCity to improve vocabulary retention and reading comprehension.

With 35+ interactive word games and thousands of pre-made word lists, our app helps build literacy skills in a fun and engaging way!

*Access to the full features of this app is limited to VocabularySpellingCity Premium Members. To go Premium, visit our website: www.spellingcity.com

Very glitchy

Our daughter's school decided to use Spelling City program this year, and I think they are regretting it. The entire grade is constantly battling glitches, deleting and reloading the app, etc. It is very frustrating to use.

Letterfall and lag

I will never ever, in my life rate this over 1 star. Unfortunately I cannot rate this negative one hundred stars so I am pretty mad about that too. The speedy speller is rigged. The a button for some reason does not work and sometimes I get it right and it counts me wrong. The whole app itself is horrible. It lags (glitches) and other games are horrible as well. Never have I ever ran into an app that was so horrible!! Even my brother could make a better app.

No

The app itself has quite some potential, however, there are many technical issues, and I sometimes can't even open the app.

Would be good if it worked

The content is great to use on a computer but the app doesn't work at all..... the whole point for paying the premium price was to use the app on the go. We can't get past trying to load a list. The whole app freezes and we have to restart the iPad just to get out of the app. Unusable.
