Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started

How do I add a spelling list?

From the home screen, tap List. You can:

The free Core 10 tier supports one list with up to 10 words. Pro raises this to up to 100 lists with up to 50 words each.

Why does my child only see 10 words from my list?

The free Core 10 tier limits gameplay and tests to the first 10 words of any list. Lists themselves can hold more words (up to 50), but only the first 10 appear in tests and games unless you upgrade to Pro. Upgrading unlocks all the words you've already added.

How do I record my own voice for a word?

From the parent area, open the active list, tap a word, then tap the microphone icon. Your recording stays on your device and is only synced to the cloud if you've enabled Pro Cloud Sync.

Subscription & billing

How do I manage or cancel my Pro subscription?

Subscriptions are managed through Apple or Google, not us:

Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Your data and progress remain on your device.

Can my whole family use one Pro subscription?

Yes — Pro supports up to 6 family members through Apple Family Sharing or Google Play Family Library. Set this up in your device's Family settings before family members install the app.

I bought Pro but it's not unlocked. What now?

Open the app, go to Parent Center → Subscription → tap Restore Purchases. This forces a fresh check with the App Store or Play Store. If that doesn't work, email us with your purchase receipt and we'll restore it manually.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple and Google directly:

We don't have access to your payment information, so we can't process refunds ourselves. If you have trouble with the official refund flow, email us and we'll help you escalate.

Privacy & data

What data does Spelling Stream collect?

For free users, almost nothing — spelling lists, recordings, and progress stay on your device. For Pro users with Cloud Sync enabled, your spelling data syncs across your devices via Firebase. We never share data with advertisers, and there are no ads in the app.

Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

How do I delete all my data?

From the Parent Center → Delete All Data. This wipes lists, recordings, profiles, and progress from your device. If you have Pro Cloud Sync enabled, it also deletes your cloud-synced data on the sync server.

You can also email support@monthlybalance.com with the subject line "Delete my data" — see the data deletion page for details.

Is Spelling Stream COPPA compliant?

Yes. Spelling Stream is designed for children under 13 and complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, including the amended rules effective April 22, 2026. We do not collect personal information from children without verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian, do not show ads, and do not share data with advertising networks.

Troubleshooting

The voice recorder isn't working

Make sure you've granted microphone permission to Spelling Stream:

If permissions are correct and it still doesn't work, restart the app. If the problem persists, email us with your device model and OS version.

Photo scan can't read my list

Tips for best OCR results:

You can always edit or delete words after the scan.

The app crashed

Restart the app first. If it still crashes, restart your device. If the problem persists, email us with:

We use Firebase Crashlytics to catch crashes automatically — your report helps us prioritize.
