Terrific App!
This has been a great app for my kid to learn his ABCs and get used to writing. Thanks for the app!
Ok app
I think there are better apps to teach children to trace numbers and letters. For example : intro to maths and intro to letters by montesorium is very good. This app is very basic.
Okay
Needs update to fix app from closing unexpectedly and to let children start off from where they start. My three year old has a difficult time with 8 because it crosses over so much and you have to hit every numbered dot or it makes you begin again. She gets frustrated with this. Otherwise, it's a nice game. Contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and sounds of two letters combined (-ch, -er, etc.) Just really needs the update to fix the unexpected closing of the app.

Very useful in the classroom
I haven't seen anything as good as this app when it comes to accurately developing coordination plus the kids are learning their numbers and letters at the same time!
We have incorporated this and a handful of other apps into our preschool programme which has gone down well with the parents, children and teachers!

Grade A app
Love this app, had it for a while now. It was nice to see my 3 year old son enjoying "playing" the game whilst actually learning his letters. Best way I find is not to push them but rather use it as a treat ;-) I think the update has made the app much better for the youngest ones as it was a tad tricky before.

Low Marks For This One
It is only a free sample. Must pay to access all upper and lower case letters. Numbers only go up to ten, but kindergartners are expected to know numbers up to at least 20. For a child just learning to print, the program is much too demanding. The slightest error results in negative feed back. How about offering several skill levels of tracing? Also errors in tracing cause the program to crash. Yah-Trace is a better letter tracing program, but does not do numbers. Still looking for a good letter/number tracing program.

Frequently crashes
My son likes the app but gets frustrated because it always crashes within 5 minutes of use, hence my 1-star rating. If it didn't crash I'd give it 3 or 4 stars.
Other annoyances:
1. I don't want to sign up. Please stop asking me every time the app starts.
2. The use of numbers to show where to draw next is not a good idea when you are trying to teach numbers. Other phonics apps use arrows which work better.
3. Lack of variety. Why is always "4 dates"? I don't think my son has ever seen a date.

Good idea but some annoyances
Good idea but it is very hard for a 4-5 y.o. to trace and stay within the letter/number. Also we did an in-app purchase on one iPad to get the full version. However, we were not able to get it on a second iPad that is linked to the same iTunes account. Once the above issues are fixed, this could be a 5-star app for pre-k.

Misleading that the app is FREE!
The free app only has 3 letters, it's really $1.99 to access anything useful. It might be a good app if there was more flexibility in the letter tracing patterns, as my 3 year old grew discouraged by the constant negative reinforcement when her tracing was not completely perfect and EXACT!
Wow
Superb, finally someone has taken an educational app to the next level, the feedback and reporting are feature are solid additions, I can see my child improving motor skills at a more increased rate, i hope you make more apps, and your price is a bargain
