  • My 2.5 year old loves this... uses it daily.

    This app has really helped my son learn his letters and numbers. At first he was frustrated with it, but now that he's learned how to use it, he loves it. It took him about a week with our help for him to learn how to use the app on his own. I can see that he's really proud of himself when he writes all of the letters to make a word. There's lots of positive reinforcement. We're very happy with this app purchase.

  • Great for my special needs son!

    Now that the app has the slider function to enlarge the size of the letters, it is PERFECT for my son! He has poor fine motor skills, so this is a great way for him to work on writing motions and letter shapes. My 3 year old girl loves it too - I highly recommend this app for kids who are learning to write, it can be a great tool for helping them really feel how to make the shapes! Thanks for the great app, and especially the update!!!

  • Great app

    Great app, my 30m old niece loves spending time on this.

    A suggestion to the developer - pl increase the font size in the iPad version. The screen is so big but the alphabets look small. The iphone version on iPad with 2x mode made it easy for my niece to write than the current iPad version with a smaller font size.

    Secondly, if there is an option built in for parents to select alphabets for practice, it would be much helpful. It would become easy for my niece to practice one alphabet at a time say for 25 times, before moving to the next than going one after the other.

  • Excellent App!!

    This is my 5 yr olds favorite tracing game !! He absoulutely loves that after he's done tracing the letters in the word he can make the letters fall in the star shaped hole .... I love that it will not let him trace the letters the wrong way as some other apps do .. I wish it had the D'Nealian letter style as my kids use this in Kindergarten... it would also be great if it said the letter name and it's sound as the he traces but overall this is definately a favorite !!!

  • My 2 1/2-year-old loves this

    I was amazed to see my 2 1/2-year-old son figure out how to trace letters, laugh when he got it wrong because of the cute sounds the crab makes, and get excited when he got it right. He sounds back the letters and the encouragement from the narrator, too. This application is amazing! Also, he played it on the plane from Mexico to the U.S., and a preschool teacher saw him playing with it and wants to recommend it to her students' parents for a learning tool. When she asked what the name of the application was and we told her "iWriteWords", our son yelled out, "yeah! IWriteWords!!" it was hilarious!

  • Son loves it!

    My son is 3 and loves this app. It has great graphics and sound effects and I honestly believe that this app has helped him to learn to write letters. He is now able to write out some of the letters freestyle and I believe this app is the reason why. The quirky sounds really draw him in to what he is doing. Great product. He plays it constantly. Worth the money.

  • We love this app!

    Our little guy loves to play with Mommy's iPod, and this is one of his favorites. He's getting very good at recognizing the lower-case letters, and I'm amazed at how quickly his small-motor development has come along from doing the curved letters.

    The crab that tells you where to start and finish the line (and its little squeaks when he goes out of the lines) is very encouraging, and gives him feedback without making him feel bad. And the "tip the tile into the star" game after each letter or number breaks it up really well for him.

    What a great app!!! We love it!

    My only compaint (and it's minor) is that there seem to be some missing notes in the ABC song...

  • Great for toddlers and preschoolers!

    My two kids, ages 2 and 4, love this app. It is especially good for my four-year-old who could trace letters but always went in the wrong direction. They love the sounds that go with it, and they love having the letters they wrote left up on the screen. I highly recommend this app for beginning to learn to write letters.

  • Fabulous app!

    My three year old loves this app! I wanted a writing app for my girl and checked out a bunch of others. I bought it within 5 minutes of trying the lite version and it has been one of my best purchases! The numbered dots along the lines are very helpful in helping her to write. Also the neat little feature of having the letters fall down has been great in keeping my girl entertained. She really looks forward to tilting the iphone to get the letters to fall in the drain. I hope more words can be added. The app has only about 50 and my girl loves this so much she has worked thru them all already!

  • New Voice Over?? (Updated)

    My two years old loved this app. He asked me to write for him and replayed the words over and over. After you change the voice over from the kid voice in the older version to this women, he seems to be put off by it. He would quickly press the home button to exit the app. It's now sitting there of no use. Could you bring back the old voice?

    Update: The creator does listen to the voices of every user. This app now includes the option for child voice. My son couldn't be more happy. Appreciate the sincerity of intention to make it better. I have this app since there was only the uppercase letter. Latest update also adds in the number. I would add five more stars for business practice alone. My two years and three months old can now read close to hundred words playing around with it. Great work!
