Almost perfect
Love this app but really don’t understand why there isn’t a way to clear stars on mastered lists so kids can have additional practice

Description
Spelling Star is the perfect app for practicing your spelling lists. Create lists by entering words and recording the audio. Practice spelling each word correctly three times to become a Spelling Star!
● One of the top-rated spelling apps available.
● New share list feature is perfect for teachers that want to create lists and share with their students.
FEATURES:
● Share Lists - create lists on one device and share them with anyone else that has the Spelling Star app.
● Copy Lists - click a button to make a copy of any list on your device. Perfect for parents with multiple kids or teachers that want to individualize lists based on student needs - add challenge words or modify lists for accommodations.
● Immediate Feedback - students get immediate feedback after each word as they practice.
● Progress Indicator - parents/teachers can monitor the progress of their students as they work towards mastering their list.
● Easy, Effective & Engaging - we've built this app to be easy and effective for students. There aren't a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles that distract students from the goal of practicing their spelling words, but the stars they receive keep them engaged.
WHY IT WORKS:
● Your Actual Spelling Words
You add the word lists that spellers are studying at school or home. Record each word or use a sentence to make the word meaning clear. Words are presented in a random order so spellers are ready to spell them in any order on a test or in a spelling bee. Some users have shared that having their children add and record their word lists has been another good way to practice each week. Practice anytime, anywhere!
● Mastery Practice
Spellers practice their words until they are mastered. Spellers earn a star each time they correctly spell a word without a hint. Three stars equal a mastered word. When a speller has mastered a word, Spelling Star will remove that word from the practice cycle. This allows spellers to focus on words that need extra practice. Individual words or full lists can easily be reset if additional practice is desired.
● Immediate Formative Feedback
Spelling Star immediately lets a speller know how they did on each word. It also provides them the option to redo the word right away if an error is made. Spellers can move on if desired, but the ability to fix an error on the spot reinforces the correct spelling. No more waiting until the end of the whole list to find out how they are doing on each word.
● Summative Feedback
At the end of each practice cycle, Spelling Star provides feedback for the entire list and provides the option to immediately practice it again. Spelling Star also provides a quick view of progress towards list mastery within the list selection screen. Spelling Star makes it easy to see how close spellers are to mastery.
● Audio and Hints
Spelling Star replays the recorded audio as many times as desired with no penalty towards mastery. If a speller is stuck, they simply tap the hint button to get a quick look at the word so they can finish it. While a hint won’t count towards mastery, it gets the speller un-stuck and prevents frustration. Spellers can then practice the word again or move on.

Spelling Words
This app has been life changing in our household. My children practice their spelling words INDEPENDENTLY throughout the week with the Spelling Star app. They now come home after the test with a 100% each and every week. Spelling word practice is completely stress free in our home with this app. That was NOT the case when we, as parents, practiced with our children throughout the week (before learning about this app).
Works as described
Very basic app. It works as described. I did have an issue with it not working at first, but we closed out the app and when my son turned it back on, it worked and you could hear the sound.
Doesn’t work on Xr
Love this app, my kids always get perfect scores when we use their spelling lists. I got an iPhone XR and now it gives me a microphone error and shuts down the app when I try to record. Please fix, we need it!
Great spelling app
Have used this for a long time with my kids and we love it. Good update!
doesn’t work, wasted my time
I am a teacher for special ed students and thought this app would help them practice spelling. Wasted 2 dollars because app kept shutting down and would not record the words.
App Not Working as described
The app doesn’t record the sound , which fails the whole purpose of purchasing it. Clicking “contact us” takes to a web page which is no longer available. I want a refund.
Keeps closing out randomly
I really love this app so I paid for it but it keeps closing out on its own and that’s frustrating because my kids keep having to start over. Fix it and I’d give five stars
Great app!
I can already tell this will be a helpful part of his study. My 6th grader usually doesn't have a problem with subjects in school. But spelling is difficult. In just two days of study with the app, he can spell all the words on the list. In fact, yesterday afternoon I asked him to go over the words once and he said that he went through the list until he had 3 stars on each! I like that I can record a sentence to go with each word, or even a definition. And the ability to import a list makes it easy to switch between devices for review. Thank you!!
Faulty app, often says words are misspelled.
I have carefully input more than a few spelling lists, and a handful of words always come up that they are spelled wrong, when they are spelled correctly. You can catch a sneak peek of the word and see how it’s spelled, enter it, and be told it’s wrong. Kind of pointless and frustrating for my second grade twins.
