United StatesSpellBoard allows you to create any spelling quiz in any language. That's right, you could even use this for your Spanish class! Whether you are a student, teacher or parent, we all know the weekly spelling drill. Monday, we get our weekly words. Wednesday, we have our pre-quiz and Friday is the spelling test. Of course, during the week there are endless impromptu spelling quizzes, – at home, in the car, at dinner, before bed – you get the idea. Well, all that may have just changed – say hello to SpellBoard! SpellBoard provides a fast and intuitive way for you to enter your list of spelling words. All you need to do is enter the word (correctly spelled) and the grade level. SpellBoard will take it from there using the Macs built in speech technology to quiz you on the words (if desired you can record audio in your own voice as well). Optionally, you can enter a phrase for the word, an image, antonyms and/or synonyms and notes for the word. That's it! Now you are ready to study your word list and be quizzed on it. SpellBoard also adds fun activities to your custom spelling lists. Including Word Search, Word Scramble, Alphabetize, Word/Sentence Matching and Missing Letter puzzles. And possibly best of all, you can share your quiz with other SpellBoard users including SpellBoard and SpellBoard Buddy for iOS. So that means only one person needs to enter the weeks' spelling words and then they can share it with other SpellBoards. Additionally, SpellBoard allows for multiple student profiles so you can track the performance of any student across any number of quizzes. You can also track how well multiple students perform against a particular quiz. SpellBoard also has a study mode where you can walk through a quiz seeing and hearing the word and phrase, you can even get a definition for the word via the built in dictionary on the Mac. SpellBoard also uses iCloud to sync your SpellBoard data between iOS and macOS (10.11 or later). Now your spelling lists will always be available to you and in sync no matter what device you are on. And of course SpellBoard supports the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro.

United StatesWhat a fun way to learn spelling words! Great Results!!
I am very impressed with this application! We now use this to take our weekly spelling tests! Our class discovered an issue and they worked very quickly to fix the issue. My students are very impressed that their discovery helped make a change. Our class average scores have increased. We even have had two tests that every student (all 21) have passed the test! We recommend this app to help kids practice their words and vocabulary as it is a very fun and rewarding way to practice their words. Thanks PalaSoftware!
United StatesBest Spelling List App!
I've seen apps that do one or two of the things that this app does. The word search puzzle feature is brilliant! I love being able to put in my own words for each week and then being able to go back to those lists later. The sentence feature is really nice and being able to drag photos in from the stockxchange is an invaluable time saver. Learning is happening and the variety of tasks sets this app apart. It would be cool to have some sort of reward system, a mini game or sticker collection game. This would put this already amazing app over the top.
United StatesWorks great for even large lists
I bought this last summer to use to help my daughter study for a middle school spelling competition. It worked well on the computer once I got the lists entered. The input from text files has been improved since then and I just finished loading it with over 3000 words for a high school spelling competition. The ability to share quizzes between my laptop and my iPod have been nicely improved. I can now use iCloud to transfer between my devices. I also liked the ability to Airdrop quizzes between computers.
United StatesThis used to be good software
This used to be good software… Now when i email or message a spelling quiz to someone it comes up with a message containing no attachment. When I attach an exported file the iPod doenst know what to do with it. So I have to send from a Mac desktop to an iPad and then to a iPod Touch. What a joke!
United StatesGood. But could be even better.
This seems to be the best spelling program available in the Apple store. Would be even better with the following added/fixed: - not being able to resize windows is a little annoying, especially when working with long spelling lists. - would be good if the program prompted you to choose a student when logging in (when you have more than one). - incorporating Apple's inbuilt spell check would be handy for adding your own custom words. - can't close the substitutions dialog without going to the menu and selecting "hide substitutions". - would be handy to be able to search for and remove duplicate words from long custom spelling lists. - when editing long custom spelling lists it would be good to have an auto-save function and "next" option so you don't have to edit a word, save it, go back to the whole list and look for the next word you want to edit.
United StatesThanks
**There is a bug where the 'add a picture icon' where you drag the pic into is not there. You have to save the word then re-open it before you see the photo area to drag.** Otherwise: This is what any parent or teacher, who takes the time to teach in detail, would really appreciate. It saves time and money, and the organization of lists all kept in one central place makes a nice reference map. It's difficult to meet the potential of children, but apps like this do help. One request though: Please make the iphone version capable to create lists. Thank you;.
