Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 43 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the product, highlighting its effectiveness in improving vocabulary and spelling for students. They find the program engaging, interactive, and easy to use for both students and parents, with many appreciating the ability to track progress and customize word lists. The website is also praised for being user-friendly and easy to navigate. However, some people were dissatisfied with the lack of descriptive writing aspects in the content and wished for a more streamlined process for printing activity sheets. A few other people also felt that the progress gauge for mature students was non-existent and that the "steps test" could be improved beyond just spelling.

Very useful resource

The content of the website is great. We find the way it is set up with forced progression really helpful (all our students are at different learning levels and yeas). The login and set up is quick and smooth. Would maybe be nice to have a slightly more modern look to the platform? But that's minor.
Students at our high school just find it a bit 'kiddy'.
However, they are still needing that low level literacy support, so they need the junior levels...

Support

The support received for an issue I had wasn't enough. I am time poor and need a reader friendly quick fix to issues. Providing a variety of ways to solve a problem perhaps using visuals, Zoom meets or video links would be helpful. My issue hasn't been resolved.

Harms Hands

Some of the words sound similar and it just isn't well executed. The way you input in some activities is brutal for trackpad users and not fun for anyone. Some people (me included) think the pronounciations are awful too.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've encountered.

To help with similar sounds, we recommend using headphones, as they can make distinguishing words easier. Additionally, clicking to hear the sentence can be helpful if you're unsure about a word.

We understand that using a trackpad can be challenging and slower. If possible, we suggest using a mouse or a touch device for a better experience.

If you could let us know which words you think are pronounced incorrectly, we'll definitely review them. Your input is valuable to us, and we're committed to making improvements.

Thank you for helping us enhance our service.
