The app

How do I restore the full version on a new device?

Open Spellbury, tap the gear on My Words, answer the grown-up question, and tap Restore purchase. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple Account you bought it with. With Family Sharing on, family members can restore it too.

I bought the full version but it's still locked.

Tap Restore purchase as above. If your family uses Ask to Buy, the purchase unlocks once the family organiser approves it. Still stuck? Email us.

Can the voice sound better?

Many common words come with a clear studio recording. For other words, download one of Apple's free Premium voices: open Settings > Accessibility > Read & Speak (Spoken Content on older devices) > Voices > English, download a voice marked Premium or Enhanced, then pick it in Spellbury's settings. You can also record your own voice.

How do I record my own voice?

Tap Record your voice on My Words. Spellbury goes through your list one word at a time: record the word, then its sentence. You can also tap any word to record or redo just that one. If Record doesn't work, check Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.

Can I scan my child's spelling list?

Yes, in the full version. Tap Paste or scan a list, then take a photo or choose one. Check the words it found, then add them.

How do I delete our data?

You can delete words, lists and recordings inside the app, and reset stats from the Stats screen. Deleting the app removes everything it saved.

The free web version

What can I do in the browser?

The same as the free app: one list of up to 15 words and Spelling Practice, with every word read aloud. Recording your own voice, Test Day and the other games are in the app.

Where is my list saved?

In this browser on this computer only. It's never sent to us. Clearing your browser's data, or using a private window, clears the list.

How do I share a list with my class or family?

On the Play page, tap Share list to copy a link. Anyone who opens the link gets the same words, ready to practice. The words travel inside the link itself; nothing is stored on our side.

I can't hear anything.

Check the volume and that the device isn't muted. On an iPhone or iPad, flip the silent switch off or turn up the volume. Some browsers only play sound after you tap the page once.
