A few families have told us they weren't sure Spelling.Live had an Android app, or assumed it was web-only. It isn't - so here's the plain version, in one place: Spelling.Live is available as a free native app on the Apple App Store, as a free native app on Google Play, and as a web app in any browser at spelling.live. All three share the same account, the same word lists and the same progress history - sign in once and everything follows you.
Get it on your device
- iPhone and iPad - Spelling.Live on the Apple App Store
- Android phones and tablets - Spelling.Live on Google Play
- Any browser, no install - spelling.live/app
Why we'd rather you use the app
The web version is a genuinely full version of Spelling.Live, not a cut-down demo - it's there for a quick session on a shared family computer, or for trying the app before committing to a download. But if your child practises regularly, the native app is the better everyday choice: it opens faster, keeps working with a patchier connection, and (on iOS and Android) can send a gentle practice reminder even when the app isn't open. If you've been using the web version, it's worth the thirty seconds to grab the real app from the links above - your account and everything in it come straight across when you sign in.
If you're not sure which one you're using
Look at how you opened Spelling.Live today. A shortcut on your home screen that opens its own window, with no browser address bar, is the native app. A tab in Safari, Chrome or another browser - even if you've saved it to your home screen as a bookmark - is the web version. Either way, one sign-in shows you the same children, the same lists and the same reports; switching between them costs nothing.
As always, the help centre has more detail, and the feedback button in the app comes straight to us.
