Edshed Anmeldelser 21

It's great for my son but it said certainly and he got it wrong then it said sentence they should add more new games not like bee siged. It's a good software for children also.

1. The Avatar Shop: A Sweatshop for Bees
The "Honeypot" economy is the most cynical psychological trick ever played on a child. You are forced to grind through "Extreme" spelling levels—which are basically just digital manual labour—to earn fake currency. And what do you spend it on? A tiny, pixelated hat for a bee.
The Humiliation: You spend twenty minutes spelling "accommodation" correctly just so you can buy your bee a pair of sunglasses or a tiny cape. It’s consumerist brainwashing at its peak. It’s teaching kids that their only value in life is to work a job they hate (spelling) so they can buy clothes for a fictional insect that doesn't even have legs to put trousers on.
2. The "Hive" Mode: Psychological Warfare for Beginners
The "Hive" is where EdShed turns from a boring app into a literal bloodbath. It’s a live leaderboard that broadcasts your failure in real-time to everyone in your class.
The Lag of Doom: If your Wi-Fi drops for a microsecond, the "Bee" freezes, and you watch helplessly as "SpellingGod69" rockets past you on the leaderboard. It doesn't test your brain; it tests your router.
The Public Shaming: Nothing builds a "love for literacy" like being ranked 29th out of 30 in front of your crush because you accidentally typed "neccesary" with one 'c'. It’s not a classroom; it’s a Colosseum where the only weapon is a sticky iPad screen.
3. The "Extreme" Difficulty: A Seizure in a Box
When you crank the difficulty up to "Extreme," EdShed stops being a spelling app and starts being a stress-test for fighter pilots.
The Visual Noise: The screen starts flashing, the timer starts screaming, and the letters begin to dance around like they’re at a rave. It’s a sensory nightmare. You aren't learning the morphology of the English language; you’re just desperately trying to hit a moving target before the "GameOver" buzzer sounds like a nuclear alarm. It’s a miracle the app doesn't come with a warning from the Department of Health.
4. The Bee: A Mascot of Pure Malice
Let’s talk about that Bee. Those unblinking, void-like eyes. That frozen, terrifying smile. It’s the face of a creature that knows it’s wasting your childhood.
The Passive-Aggression: When you get a word wrong, the Bee doesn't look disappointed; it looks bored. It’s judging you for your inability to spell "environment" at 400 miles per hour. It’s a digital dictator in a yellow jumper, presiding over a kingdom of bored 10-year-olds who just want to go outside and play football.
5. MathShed: The Lazy Sequel
MathShed is the "straight-to-DVD" sequel that nobody asked for. It’s literally just Spelling Shed but they swapped the letters for numbers.
The Lack of Effort: The developers clearly spent five minutes on this. It’s the same vibrating neon green, the same annoying sound effects, and the same existential dread. It’s like being served a plate of salt for dinner, and then for dessert, you get a plate of pepper. It’s just different flavours of misery.

Helps with spelling and maths but nothing else. Not very fun aswell >:[.

I’m a student who uses this website regularly.It always upsets me because the keyboard glitches every time I use it.😡

DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. On the leagues, your score goes down for no reason until you are at last place if you don't do it for more than 2 days, and the keyboard on touchscreen devices are just wrong. Even if your a spelling pro, you can still get words wrong because of the damn keyboard! And also, the voice that says the words out loud is just horrible as well! For example, if the word is 'conscious', the voice says it as 'conscience', like what the hell!? The menu can also be super confusing to use sometimes, and the world group leaderboard takes like 20 minutes to refresh! Although this does help to spell, it is not really child friendly as it can be unfair and upsetting for them. 1 more thing: Why would they add a whole scoring system and leaderboard if the whole point is to spell and learn words!? It just causes a bigger distraction and can also put stress on them if they aren't in first place. I have used Edshed before, so everything i have listed above is accurate (maybe not for some people)

While it does help you learn it will make you stupidly bored

I am trying to use this for some of my students as i am a private tutor. Really hard to navigate to set spellings. I dont understand why its so complicated. Very frustrating i keep going back to it and watch tutorial videos and it is still an utter pain.

Thanks EdShed for making Mastery Zone, it's not beta anymore. AND IT IS BROKEN!!! It should give me words THAT I NEED TO WORK ON. Not words that I have mastered already! Hate Mastery Zone higher than the Burj Khalifa.

it resets me

This website.
OH MY GOD. IT IS HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. They force you to use an absolutely TRASH keyboard, which leads you to make many mistakes even if you're a spelling GOD. This website is a DUMPSTER FIRE. It's no better than Activelearn, something i reviewed also. I hate it at an ASTRONOMICAL LEVEL. Students, teachers and staff, avoid this trash website.

I would be able to give a more indepth review if i could manage to log into this crap. My daughter might not be able to practise her spelling, but at least she learnt a few swear words off me 😂

Better....
It used to be really bad then weird but now much better!!
Still though mastery zone still has lots of space to improve..........

my kids use this for their spelling practice ..their score go down for no reason all the time . rubbish site

Found defective answers in maths shed questions. Doesn't account for multiple answer possibilities and permutations. How are children supposed to be educated if their answers are correct but are marked wrong.

I have submitted proof and a defect report to them and will update this answer if they fix it.

absolutely useless crap, there are no clear instructions on how to start it, the menu doesn’t work, there is no feedback, if parents can’t figure out how to do it for their child, don’t waste time, nerves and money, complete crap!!!

Not sure my data is safe with Edshed. Somebody/ thing keeps sending me password reset requests. When I contacted the company, they did not seem to think there is any problem. I asked the question... "is my data safe with your company" but got no response.
