Dexteria
Really liked this app. Great for Fine Motor development in home, school and in the car. Entertaining yet getting the fine motor work that is needed at the same time. Would love to see more apps like this developed.

wow I was able to pick this up when it was at a discounted price...being a member of the facebook group A4cwsn there was a lot of talk about this app... just had to try it when it went on sale ... the talk was right ... I am amazed at how quickly my son ( 3 yrs old Autistic child ) was able to pick it up and start using it .He loves pinching crabs lol...the fine motor that he is getting is wonderful... even is O.T. loves it. Simple and to the point love it !

Dexteria 1.1
A great App for improving finger control needed for fine motor activities such as writing, keyboards, music.

This is a great app for children struggling with fine motor strength and coordination,It provides a fun platform to help kids strengthen fundamentals needed for handwriting. I have suggested it to many mixes I work with who turn away from traditional strengthening paper and pencil activities .They are always delighted to work on this app . The actual learning to print letters is the best I have seen ,

Great app!
What a wonderful, useful, helpful app! It is challenging for people of all ages and I can see improvement in my daughters fine motor skills after only a short time. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to improve fine motor skills and get some "brain training" at the same time! Oh and it is fun, and kids are learning at the same time... Can't ask for more than that!! Kylie VDH

Great updates/upgrades
Bravo Dexteria. The exercises are much more doable for my autistic 5 year old son who needs a lot of work on his fine motor skills. Previously he became frustrated with how fast the tap exercises moved. But now it's great. Thank you.
One of the best Apps I have ever bought!
My son is 7 and has DS and therefore fine motor skill engagement is necessary. He also has ADHD making his attention span even on medication short. We have been working on other apps using his fingers to draw letters, but this app has it all! The pinch it program is incredibly awesome! My son worked on the pinch it for more than 10 minutes each setting and requested to play the app over and over. Though he doesn't recognize what the colors do, it keeps him occupied to see more and continually challenges him. At the end of each level he screams "I WIN!!" I would say this is a must have to practice fine motor skills!

Definitely an app for higher functioning SN kids
I thought maybe this app would be helpful to use with the kids with autism I work with. However, lower functioning kids may will have a hard time following the directions. Calibrating the screen in the "Tap It" was next to impossible for my kids, even with my hand over hand guidance. Wobbly fingers were everywhere!
This app will definitely be fun for kids who need help with fine motor skills and are able to understand and follow instructions without much hand over hand guidance. The "squish" sound when the crabs are pinched is just gross enough for my 6 year old to to love. The writing section may be frustrating for some kids who don't "get it right" within 2 tries. I even had some difficulty writing the letters and it took me several tries to get it right.
Overall, it's a nice app with some cool activities for kids who need help with fine motor skills.

Not enough games for the price
Too expensive for just three simple games with little variety for each level. Games are boring! No real challenges or significant increase in difficulty for each level. works only a few hand movements:lateral pinch not a tip to tip pinch as game does not activate when using a tip to tip pincer, works finger isolation but does not work manipulative skills, increase active range of motion or general dexterity. letter formation activity no better than apps that are free.
Needs more work, more games and more variety before I can recommend this to patients and families.
