SpellDown is the fun way to create spelling lists and spelling bees. Its perfect for learning SAT words, managing your kids weekly word lists, or mastering words that just give you trouble.
SpellDown works on older devices as well -- iPhones and iPods running iOS 3.1.3.
SpellDown makes it easy to create custom spelling lists. You create your lists with only the words you want. Spelldown will fetch the audio but you can also record using your own voice and add your own definition.
Once you have a list, test yourself using SpellDowns fun spelling bee game or HangBee.
Because you can record your own audio, its easy to create themed and question based lists (e.g. "What is the capital of Wisconsin?", "Who is Vaders old Jedi master?")
SpellDown also allows you to share spelling lists between two different devices:
1. Bring up the sharing icon on both devices
2. Bump both devices together when asked
3. After connecting, either device can send a list
