Best of its kind
Easy for a preschooler to use.pooshyoosh
Awesome app - best of class
For the past 5 years this app continues to be the best in its class. My daughter has special needs and visual impairments, and every other app like this gets no traction at all. Bravo devs!!!Hannah Pappah
Glad to see the update
I have been waiting to buy this for 5 years. I use an app tracker to alert me when the price changes or the app is update. I was shocked when I saw this get updated after so many years. I can confirm this works great on iOS 10. Very bare bones writing app with letters and numbers, but it is great for my son who is struggling with his dexterity. He uses a stylus to practice his handwriting. Some updates to the graphics or different learning modes would be appreciated.Show lessvogelmeister
Such a good app for writing the alphabet
Why so few reviews? I think this is a very smart and fun way to learn how to write letters and numbers and do so in the correct direction. The interface visually shows the user how to write the letter. It guides the user throughout with the traditionally correct *order* of the strokes as well as the stroke *direction*. Perhaps it's my Japanese side that makes me a stickler when it comes to handwriting. IMHO, I think there IS a proper way to hand write letters! : )
In addition to its inherent charm (the illustrated words are just sublime--I am guessing the app designer found a precociously artistic child to create to drawings), the child narration is very sweet without being cloyingly so and the cheer is a lovely, rather musical touch. The sound effects are lively and fun (I find I do ask my children to turn it down though when the percussion seems too loud) and...and-And-AND: my two children (a boy and a girl) genuinely enjoyed playing it. Now that they are in the elementary grades, it seems to have run it's course. It was a delight when they were 3 and 4--and 5 too. I highly recommend it for these ages.
Also, I have to say, in the app world, I don't see a lot if soul out there. This app has some soul to it...in terms of the depth and quality of the artwork and the ingenuity and hard work that went into creating it. A cheer to the people who made this! Hurrah!Show lesstechmiser

I just installed this app to help my 5&3yr olds practice writing. While it is a cute program with great features, I am highly disappointed that it is made for RIGHTHANDED children only!! All of my kids are left handed and the crab forces them to do strokes opposite to the stroke marks left handed people make when forming letters. I'm so disappointed that I wasted my money on a program that doesn't take that into account when trying to provide a valuable first writing experience for young children. I will think twice before buying another app from this provider.Show lessKhorror
Fun for a game
This app has beautiful colors that my two year old loves yet lacks the headline, midline, and baseline that another reviewer pointed out. My four year old has been playing the app 'Pre-K ABC HD' which has the lines and the color coded start from the top dots and arrows like he has in pre-k as well as a bright colored speller and flashcards. This is a great game app not a school readiness app like Pre-K ABC.Show lessThe iPad Dad
Could be better
This is a great app for early preschoolers. My son is 3 1/2 years old and he loves this app and it is soon easy for him. Great idea for learning. I wish it had ability to create the iwrite features for words entered by the user. That would be awesome for working with writing their name or letters they struggle with. At least it should have ability to go to any letter you want. That would be much better. As it is, kids can get a bit bored fast.Show lessStapMom
Just what I was hoping for.
I just got my IPad and this is the first apps I bought for my kids. It's just what I was hoping for. It is simple and engaging but not over stimulating or distracting. It's set up so that the kids learn to write letters properly and has the option to become more difficult as the child improves their handwriting skills. I really love it and my kids do too. It was totally worth the money. As someone who has never owned anything from Apple, I've had trouble learning how to navigate the apps and use the different settings. The support staff for this app replied to a question I emailed in less than an hour helping me solve my problem. I think it's a great app and that they provide great support service.Show lessGarciaStation
My autistic son loves it!
Great tool for teaching motor skills, and for keeping their interest with the interesting physics of the letter cubes. My only complaint is that the pictures that are shown when the word is finished are way too artsy for my son (is that a cat or a watermelon with eyes?). I wish that there was a choice of pictures to be shown. Maybe in the next version?Show lessAmigaMan2
Everyone Loves it!
This app is beautifully crafted to be engaging and fun. It's great for practicing handwriting and reading skills. My special needs teenager who operates at about a 5 year old level chooses this educational ap for its fun quotient. My 3-year old step-granddaughter chooses it for its challenge. My 4 year old twin nephew and niece that I just visited in the UK consistently chose this ap above all others. It really does rank up there with the game aps for young children. They just love it. And it's a real pleasure to see children choose an educational ap amongst all the entertaining ones. They feel a real sense of achievement with this. I love how they can see their actual handwriting after finishing a word. And they always love how they can move the tiles to the spinning vortex trash!Show lessNuttyAuntie
