About SpellingCity

VocabularySpellingCity is a fun way to learn spelling and vocabulary words by playing engaging learning games using any word list. The most popular activities are Spelling TestMe, HangMouse, and our vocabulary games, available to Premium Members. The most popular word lists are Sound Alikes, Compound Words, Hunger Games and SAT Words. The free app includes ten of our most popular word lists and eight of our most popular learning games and activities.

Spelling TestMe is a spelling test that reads each word aloud, uses it in a sentence, and repeats the word. Students can work at their own pace and receive instant feedback upon submitting the completed test.

HangMouse is a VocabularySpellingCity favorite that lets children decode each word in a friendly version of traditional Hangman. Kids love trying to figure out the word before the cat catches the mouse.

MissingLetter is a fun game for kids of all ages. Even the youngest learners can practice letter recognition by trying to find the missing letter that completes each spelling or vocabulary word.

Alphabetize is an activity that can be used to practice putting words in alphabetical order (more commonly known as ABC order), a vital early literacy skill. Students love to play ABC order activities and games.

Spelling TeachMe is a great activity to introduce a new word list to students. Each word is read aloud, spelled letter-by-letter and used in a context-rich sentence.

Sentence Unscramble helps students practice sentence structure as well as using words in context by unscrambling words to form a complete sentence.

Word Unscramble is a popular word game that is a variation on other word games such as text twists, jumbles and anagrams.

With a Premium Membership or the Mobile Pass, students can access any of the hundreds of thousands of word lists available on VocabularySpellingCity including lists created by their parents or teachers. Premium Membership includes nine additional premium vocabulary and spelling activities as well as student records and assignments. Mobile Pass holders get access to two of the nine premium activities.

Custom word lists may be entered online by registered parents or teachers (registration is free) for use in the games and activities on VocabularySpellingCity’s app.

I've downloaded this app twice. First time it installed, I opened it and the screen turned white and never loaded past that screen. So I uninstalled it and tried to re-download it thinking that would help and it's still doing it. So please fix this issue asap. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5

The Android version of this app doesn't seem to function on KitKat or Lollipop devices. If you have one, don't pay or install this. It doesn't work. Further more, the app has not been supported since 2014. Any device or issue since then has not received support. The website requires flash, so modern Android device users are completely out of luck. (unfortunately, my son's school requires it's use, so that is really unfortunate.)

I actually like the app, but only when using my IPad. I have this app on my iPad & it works perfectly, but it doesn't work on my daughter's LG tablet or my Samsung phone. It doesn't seem to work properly on android devices. I get a white or black screen everytime. Please make available for all devices.

Same as everyone else, white Screen. I have a S6 and 4 kids using this program in school. Something needs to be done to fix this issue. From what I have seen in other comments, you don't even respond to the comments made. You shouldn't even have this app listed if it doesn't work.

Even though this is available for Android it is not compatible. It was a waste of time to download. It is required by my daughter's teacher and I thought it'd be a productive way to spend our commute to school by having it on my phone. That is not an option though. Unfortunately I have to continue using this app on our ipad due to her classroom requirements (not all families have this alternate choice). I would not recommend this to anyone and have informed her teacher that another options may be better so all parents can use the resource.

I am a premium member and have Galaxy Note5 which just comes up as a white screen. Have multiple children in my house and was setting up different devices to use for spelling. Very disappointed that I've paid for the device and it does not work

I pay for a premium account for my son's school/homework. It worked just fine on my galaxy s5 but now with the s7 edge, it's just a white screen. Based on the other comments, this is not a new problem. Fix the app and stop stealing people's money!.. update..another school year where a premium account is required...another school year where this app is unusable.

While the app works 9n my older phone with android 4.4.2 with no problems however on the Tab 2 with Android 6.0.2, all I am getting is a white screen. Obviously a well known issue, and NO UPDATES from the manufacturer. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED as my son's school uses thus app.

I, too, have the white screen of death that most everyone does and it would appear that the dev either didn't notice or doesn't care. Noticing that most people with a Samsung report the issue and I'm no exception with a Note 5. I guess they won't be getting their in app purchses, so good luck with those sales when you can't get there.

Somehow it got worse. Literally does nothing but put up a white screen. The worst app I've ever tried to use. Get your Android app to work properly already. I won't use IOS, and I shouldn't have to. If you offer an app, make it work or don't do it.

I have been using this app for almost 2 years until I purchased the note 4 and realized it doesn't work on my phone. But it works on my other Androids so I am disappointed that I won't be able to use it on my phone. Please fix and I will update my review. I have paid the yearly fee in order to use the app. PLEASE FIX.

UPDATE AUGUST 2016: its been a year, we redownloaded & still a white screen? Will this ever be fixed? Im a premium member & would like all of the of benefits. Original 2015:We use this online & love it. I decided to download the app on my phone. clicked on the app.. white screen. If it could be corrected for bugs/issues, I will gladly do more stars because it is a great program to help children with spelling words.

I think we would love this app. I have a brand new galaxy s7. Just shows up a blank white screan. Bummer. Works on the laptop but I need it mobile for 6year olds homework. Hope there is a fix!

My daughter needed this app for her 4th grade class assignment. Only shows a blank screen on my Galaxy S6. My husbands iPhone won't download the app. So much for getting things down while away from home.

I paid for the version on. Galaxy 4 and it worked. When I upgraded, it quit working and just goes to a blank white screen. It's been a year. I don't think they will fix it. Don't waste your money.

Would zero star but no option to. What is point to this app when kids are not able to access their own spelling lists? My kids need it for homework but can't use it as no flash player. Very unhelpful in my opinion.

This application was recommended by my daughter's first grade teacher, so I downloaded it. But I've tried four times to open the app, and I just get a gray screen every time. Guess I'll uninstall. Looks like others are having the same issue.

Original 4/1/16: Worked great on my galaxy s4. Just upgraded to s7and get white screen. Very disappointing. My kids use this app all the time. Update: 1/14/17 still white screen of nothing. I have emailed several times asking them to fix. Extremely frustrating!! Seriously considering not renewing premium subscription.

The key pad dose not work very good, you have to hit it exactly on the right spot. If you don't it ether types the wrong letter or it dosnt type at all. It is very annoying when you mess up on a spelling word because of the key pad.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and all I see is a white screen as well. Can you kindly fix this problem. My daughter needs to complete her assignments... URGENT!!!!

U70%

I downloaded this app because I remember playing this app on the computer back in elementary school. I loved this app, so I downloaded it. I like how you get to chose the difficulty and the spelling game. I don't like how sometimes the answer is WAY too easy. I like problems for my age. Mostly I love this app. The other app I downloaded is called IQ quiz. In that app, you try to guess what the synonym means. I prefer Spelling City better because it is much more fun and has a bigger variety of choices.

It doesn't work on the Galaxy S5 either. Really disappointed that they haven't fixed this problem yet. I am a paying member of the site and should be able to get some use out of it on my phone as well as chromebook.

My son has been using this app to learn his spelling about 2 years ago. It has served its purpose well. Recently, I paid to become a premium member so as to make full use of all its features. The only problem now is that the app does not work in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 running on Lollipop 5.0.2 (blank screen). It is still working fine on my older Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 running on Jellybean 4.1.2. Hope this gets fixed soon.

I am so disappointed. I just purchased a Premium membership so my daughter could work on her spelling on-the-go. It gives me nothing on my Galaxy Note 5 except a blank white screen which locks up my phone.

Would you guys please fix your app. Have you abandoned it? You have so many one star reviews because everyone just gets a white screen upon launching the app. This used to be such a great app.

Display does not rotate as screen is rotated. Only landscape version is viewable however part of the screen is always cut off on my 5" screen. Therefore app is unusable. Too bad. Would love to access it on my phone for my 3rd grader to use.
