Not cursive
This app does not teach you actual cursive writing, it's a mix between cursive and print.nehadol

Thank you for trying the app! We are sorry that it was not what you expected. The app does indeed teach cursive writing in many of the ebooks. To explain: The word "cursive" related to writing means that it is flowing with some or all letters joined. This app teaches the italic style of handwriting, which has both print and cursive forms, as many other styles of handwriting do. The benefit of italic handwriting is that you can join the print letters you learn in order to write in cursive. You are correct that this app does not teach looped cursive writing where the cursive form has different letterforms than the print form.Great Product! Great Service!
As a former teacher, former school administrator and now education consultant, I give this program high marks for my experiences with my daughter.
I purchased this for my daughter as she is learning how to write. If you didn’t know, not all schools cover this as heavily anymore. She has sloppy handwriting (which is normal) but we wanted to improve it.
This has been a great purchase that has helped her handwriting as it does a gradual release of how to write correctly!
She also loves it and asks to use it which I really appreciate! (Every kid is different though..)
There service is also AMAZING!! I was having some issues and they responded right away with a solution and were able to get us up and going quickly!!
Hope this is helpful to someone out there!

Would be wonderful if it worked with voice over.
I’m a visually impaired homeschool mom and I have used the print workbooks of this program with my eldest child. When I found out about this app I was really excited since Getty Dubai do not offer pdf versions of their books. So I downloaded the app and purchased the teachers Manual and quickly realized that the ebooks on this app do not work with voice over. I require voice over software because of my visual impairment. It generally works with pdf’s and kindle books with text to speech enabled. I prefer digital books over print for obvious reasons. I wish this app could work for us as it sounds like a wonderful app but unless they make it voice over friendly, I’ll have to stick to the print books. I just wish I didn’t have to waste $12 on an ebook before discovering all of this.Show less*Spider6667*

Thank you for trying the app! We're glad you enjoy and use the Getty-Dubay handwriting books. Unlike with print, these ebooks can be enlarged on the screen using the pinch-zoom gesture. Your concern about voiceover functionality is well taken and we will endeavor to add that to a future update. You may request refunds directly from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
