MySpellings review
A flexible Android spelling app for families managing school lists offline.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MySpellings is a freemium Android app for primary-school children practising spelling at home. It combines Year 1–6 and themed spelling packs with custom weekly lists, allowing families to work from school assignments or the app’s own content. Multiple child profiles support shared household use, while progressive difficulty modes, Tricky Words practice, rewards and progress tracking give children several ways to practise. The app requires no account and supports offline use.
Its strongest fit is for families who need flexible list entry rather than a fixed curriculum alone. Parents can add custom spelling lists by typing them or using photo-based entry, then create printable worksheets from those lists. The app also covers UK, US, Canadian and Australian spelling variants, while its published descriptions refer to both Years 1–6 and K–5. That combination gives it useful reach across primary-school contexts, although families should match the year labels and spelling variant to their child’s school.
The freemium model provides access to a Premium plan that unlocks premium content. The core feature set is centred on spelling practice: packs, list creation, difficulty progression, tricky-word work, rewards and tracking. MySpellings is a sensible choice for Android households wanting offline spelling support, multiple profiles and practical tools for school lists. It is less suitable for families seeking a broader reading, writing or general literacy platform, or for households using iPhones, iPads or other non-Android devices.
