A few new reviews of our Simplex Spelling apps were posted over the Christmas break.

The iPhone mom has reviewed Simplex Spelling Phonics 1. Below are a few quotes from the iPhone mom review.

The iPhone Mom Approved Review - Simplex Spelling Phonics 1

"Simplex Spelling was marvelous to begin with and I think the dedicated focus on phonics makes this app a powerful teaching tool."
"it's the little extras that set Simplex Spelling apart. It's quite wonderful. If children get stuck on a word there is a hunt button that reveals phonics hints. For each letter they can see the letter and letter combinations that make the sound needed for the word. The correct one is shown in —[blue] so it's easily identifiable but I like that children get to see all of the phonograms and sounds."
"Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 also has the interactive tutorial found in the original Simplex Spelling. Here the app's features are turned into a spelling list. As children go through this first spelling list they will also be learning how to use all of the features in the app. It's one of the most effective tutorials I've used."
"If you're looking for a solid, educational spelling app that will build confidence in your child, this is one for you."

John from The Wired Homeschool also recently reviewed our first spelling app Simplex Spelling HD.

The Wired Homeschooler reviews Simplex Spelling HD

"Right from the start I was impressed with the app. The tutorial is fantastic and leads kids through the use of the application while teaching them how to spell."
"The positive reinforcement and hints help the user along toward their goal of spelling each word."
"My kids have asked me repeatedly [to] play the game. I never thought they'd be so enthusiastic about spelling."
"I can confidently recommend this app."

The brand new site GeekGirl Apps recently reviewed both Simplex Spelling HD and Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 giving them 4/5 stars.

"We especially like using the "Hint" button, even when hints are not necessary. This option allows the user to see a dropdown list of available letters that could make the desired sound to complete the word."
"The app helps users see phonics in action in real time, as they put together words."
"this multisensory experience really helps reinforce learning."
"Words are used in the context of a sentence. This helps users decode contextual meaning to improve vocabulary and is also helpful when the app is used in conjunction with other exercises, like handwriting and Speech Therapy."
"The app is fun to use and easy to understand."
