The App looks odd on my Phone
SpellRBoard is for iPads only, the iPhone's display is too small, so the elements do not scale correctly.
Can I use Custom Voices?
Yes, you can use any voice that can be installed onto the device, with the exception of Apple Personal Voice, as that is a feature in the latest model of iPads, and in order to retain compatibility with older devices, it is not supported.
