One problem
Im tutoring a first grade kid in vocabulary/spelling. There appears to be one big problem which I already reported to grasshopper: creation of a customized list or change doesnt work. The microphone doesnt open for pronouncing the new word, and the words "new item" should automatically disappear once the new word is typed. One shouldnt have to manually erase those words.
Perhaps, as the grasshopper apps staff reported, bugs introduced because of ios7 havent all been swatted.
Other than the inability to customize, the app is the best Ive seen. Lots of flexibility in prompting, praise, delivery of words (whether random or alphabetical), whether to insist that the student lay down the letters in the order in which they are positioned in the word or whether they can lay down in any order as long as they are positioned correctly.
