Does anyone's primary school use an app for spellings?

That's it really. Is there some sort of decent primary equivalent of show my homework, where the school supplies the spellings and the parents can download an app and use it on phones/tablets? Would be perfect if there was something visually appealing to children with the functionality to allow them to practise on the tablet. Actually, even just a way of sharing the weekly list that is not some scrappy bit of paper would be excellent.

Anyone know what's out there and how much it costs schools?

Oh well that's fine then. Seriously, we'll have to agree to disagree if your baseline for communicating via modern tech is having a website.

It certainly isn't my baseline but we've discovered the hard way that flashy technology doesn't make for good communication or learning

Spelling apps are old technology and largely ineffective

I tend to photograph sheets now on my phone. It means that I don't lose them and if we have five mins spare on the move then I have them with me.
