Better Speller vs Squeebles Spelling Connect

Better Speller is a spelling practice app for creating custom word lists, hearing words aloud, and tracking practice and test progress. Practice mode allows multiple attempts per word, while Test mode gives one attempt and scores the quiz. Games include Word Search, Spelling Choice, Fill in the Blanks, and Unscramble. Lists can contain definitions and example sentences; words can be looked up automatically, and lists can be imported or exported. Adjustable text-to-speech reads words aloud, and users can record their own voice saying words and example sentences. Session history shows scores and missed words for another practice round. Apple Pencil handwriting mode is supported on iPad. Optional iCloud Sync and Sharing can sync lists, students, folders, and results across Apple devices, while invitations can share a student's lists through Messages. The privacy policy says app data is stored locally and that speech processing happens on-device. The free trial includes all features, up to 35 words, and up to 10 per list. One-time purchases are 2.99 USD for iCloud Sync and Sharing and 4.99 USD for Unlimited Words. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, and macOS.
