This app is FREE for the iPhone/iPad so that you can see how it works before purchasing the premium version for $3.99. What makes this app different from others is that you are able to input your own words to study. In the FREE version you can input 5 words and have 1 user. In the premium version, you can input many words and have multiple users (with their own lists). After the words are added, there are 4 activities for kids to do with their list: listen & choose the correct word, complete the word by adding the missing letters, rearrange the scrambled word, spell the word. Then kids can take a test over their words. There are 2 voices to choose from – US English & English or kids/parents can record their own words. If the words are homonyms kids can also add a meaning to differentiate one word from another. In the premium version, lists can be saved so that kids can go back and review previously studied/learned words. The ability to add your own words adds a lot of flexibility to this app. It could be used for word study: word families, letter sounds, making plurals, prefixes and suffixes, etc.  Nicely done!!
