Squeebles Connect - Roadmap
We are committed to continue to develop and improve our Squeebles Connect apps in the future. With that in mind, if you have any suggestions for features you'd like to see included in Squeebles Spelling Connect or Squeebles Times Tables Connect, write to us and let us know!
Below are some things we're intending to achieve in the immediate and longer-term future. These may change, based on your feedback, but for now, this is where we're at with our future intentions for the Squeebles Connect apps.
