We are pleased to announce the release of our update to Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 (Version 1.3.0). We made a number of improvements many of them based on feedback from educators, including:
- Updated graphics to support the new iPad
- Changed how the phonogram hint buttons appear to aid more with phonemic awareness.
- Increased the maximum number of user accounts to 40.
- Replaced most of the two syllable words in the early word lists with single syllable words.
- Added some better transition words between one and two syllable words in the earlier word lists.
- The speech button will pulse now after a period of inactivity to help students that are easily distracted to resume working more seamlessly.
- Removed link to our FB page.
Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 will be featured and on sale tomorrow March 29th as a part of App Friday over at Moms With Apps. In additional Simplex Spelling HD will also be on sale. Both apps will be $1.99 (60% off of the regular $4.99 price). In addition we'll be keeping both our apps on sale up to and including April 2nd in support of Autism Awareness. Grab them both while they're on sale.
