Squeebles Spelling Test 4+

Doesn’t work with iPad magic keyboard

We’ve used Squeebles Spelling for a long time and it has been brilliant helping my sons learning to spell - I do recommend it.

However, I’m really frustrated to have got a magic keyboard to allow my dyslexic son to get the benefit of developing muscle memory, typing while spelling, only to find the app doesn’t support the keyboard.

Please Squeebles, could you sort this out?! Being dyslexic too I found touch typing allows me to think in whole words while my fingers know the patterns - I don’t have to concentrate on spelling in the same way you do when writing by hand. Often repeated keystrokes - so words or syllables - become automatic. It’s a game changer for many dyslexic people - and Squeebles Spelling could be just that little bit better at supporting us. Thank you!

Best spelling app I have found

This app is the best one I have found so far. I love the way you can record your own spelling lists as we have found other apps are difficult to work out what custom words are saying. I also love how it puts incorrect spellings into a new list to practice and it allows various settings for what happens if they get it correct. The other handy feature is being able to share my lists with up to ten devices so it can go on our phones, tablets etc.

If the app makers change it so that the child’s account can be linked between devices then I will give a five star as that is all that seems to be lacking with this app.

App great, support is lacking

My 6 year old loves this app, and it’s been great to support his learning. I have managed to forget my password to change the spellings, and despite emailing (as per the instructions) and messaging on social media there has been no response. Very frustrating. Since the original review I’ve tried emailing again and sending a message by Facebook, still with no response. Are there any other ways of getting in contact with you? Edited: yes, I’ve had a response on Facebook, very pleased to have access again, thank you

Developer Response ,

Hi. We're sorry to hear this... I've triple-checked and we haven't received an e-mail from you. Are you certain you're messaging info@keystagefun.co.uk? Every message to that address gets an immediate autoresponder that includes the override passcode, so you should have received that if you sent us an e-mail (worth checking your junk folder if you have one). We always aim to respond within 24 hours to all messages, so this is not usual for us. We've checked Facebook and replied to what may be your message (hard to tell as we don't know your name) with the override code. If that wasn't you, then please message us on @keystagefun on X (formerly Twitter) or Instagram. We are a lot more active on those platforms that Facebook, so it's likely we'd see a message sooner. Sorry about all this - not an experience we want people to have at all so my apologies - we'll revisit our Facebook settings and see if we can set up an alert for all new messages. Thanks... Ian, KeyStageFun.
