What Users Love About the App

“This is a nice app for spelling and learning how to interact with a crossword puzzle. The cute photos give nice visual support for the word that should be entered.”

“I especially like the setting option to make the dragging tiles slightly larger than the space where they need to be entered. This is a nice feature that will help those students that have some fine motor difficulty. Great one and I definitely recommend it.”

“The students I work with enjoyed using this app to practice putting letters and sounds together to make words. They feel like they are big kids doing cross words. It has been a great confidence booster in my struggling students.”

“The kids in my class enjoy this app. I like that the picture helps them spell and that they need to search for the words! They feel like big kids because of the format so it is engaging.”

“I love this app in my classroom. Great visual motor skills to move the letters into place. Love that the pictures speak the words when tapped.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Need more support than the settings allow you to give a “letter shadow” in each tile….then just drag and drop the appropriate letters to spell the word.”

“For the few words you get for free it’s not even worth downloading the app. I removed from my device.”

“Not as good as expected.”
