Spelling Bee Trainer for iPhone
Paste your kid’s weekly word list, tap to hear each word, tap to spell — practice spelling bee words with voice playback for $19.99 once instead of Spelling City’s $30-per-year subscription.
Planned Swarmval app. Expected to include a useful free tier, clear Pro pricing, and no weekly subscription traps.

Features
Built around the work people actually need to finish.
Custom word lists
Paste or type this week’s teacher list directly into the app — no need to find it in a pre-built catalog. New list each week, kept locally on the device.
AVSpeechSynthesizer voice playback
Tap any word to hear it spoken in clear US or UK English. Adjust speed for kids still learning to track audio.
Sentence context (Pro)
For tricky homonyms (their/there/they’re), enter a sentence per word so the kid hears the word in context, not just isolated.
Quiz mode
After practice, switch to quiz: app speaks the word, kid spells it without seeing. Immediate feedback. Track which words still need work.
No account, no ads, COPPA-clean
Hand the iPad to a child with no concerns. No login, no in-app purchases sneaked into the kid path.
Multiple lists
Save lists per week or per child. Useful for siblings or for cumulative end-of-term practice combining all year’s lists.

How does it compare to Spelling City? +
Spelling City is $30/year and includes pre-built lists. Spelling Bee Trainer is $19.99 lifetime and centers on custom lists (paste your own — the teacher’s list is always the right one). No subscription, no account, no ads.
Does the voice playback sound natural? +
Yes — it uses AVSpeechSynthesizer, the same engine Apple uses across iOS. Multiple voices and speeds. Pronunciation is clear and predictable.
Can my child use it without me? +
Yes, once you paste the list. No account, no in-app purchases on the practice path, no notifications encouraging extra use. Just the word list, the voice, and quiz mode.
Will my child’s data leave the device? +
No. The word lists, the practice history, and the progress data all live on the device only. No cloud sync, no analytics, no telemetry. Verify by enabling Airplane Mode — the app still works.
