User Reviews

SpellBoard offers strong customization and a variety of spelling- practice activities that many users find effective and engaging, especially for homeschooling. However, widespread onboarding/UI issues, recurrent crashes and data loss, and difficult word-list management significantly hamper user experience. Addressing import workflows and stabilizing quizzes/recording would greatly improve reliability while preserving the app's core strengths.
Pros
  • Highly customizable word lists and quiz creation for different learners
  • Multiple built-in activities (word search, missing letter, word scramble, tests) that make learning engaging
  • Effective for spelling practice and enjoyed by kids; good for homeschooling/teachers
  • Ability to record phrases and share results across devices
Cons
  • Onboarding and UI are not intuitive; lack of directions or a user guide
  • Frequent crashes, freezes, and data loss (lists disappear)
  • Difficult to import/add words; tedious workflow; limited import options (no easy txt/csv import; cloud options lacking)
  • Bugs in activities and features (quiz reveals words, microphone recording issues, definitions link not working)
