  • Fantastic

    Love this App! My preschool children love seeing their name light up!!!!!
  • Great app for my 3 yr old!

    Would give it the full 5 stars if it was optimised for the 6/6+ screen.
  • A is for Awesome App

    Really great App! Tracing letters is a fantastic exercise for early literacy and this App has successfully transferred these exercises to a touch screen tablet! My 3 yr old son is developing confidence at his own pace with this fun App. Thank you!
  • Alphabet wizard

    I have downloaded this app for grandchildren. 2.3/4 years. They like tracing and seeing the different shapes when tracing.
    However I have done this quite a lot - grandparent and find it all fascinating.. I think this is great app to get started on. However there is no way of deleting to get rid of the progress reports should you want . Mine in particular as I'm just messing about really. I give it Four stars. I Think its brilliant.
    I just need to delete grandparents fun.

  • Great app

    This is a great app to help pre-k and kindergarten aged children to learn writing letters, numbers and also to assist in teaching them to read as each word includes a voice recording. You can even create your own rod lists and record your children saying each word to more personalize the app. The worksheet option is great because it is a way to continue practicing once the app (device) is put down.

    I initially had problem importing/exporting word lists between two devices, I contacted the developer and he was kind enough to help me figure out why it wasn't working and now with the latest update, email sharing works.

  • Fantastic

    My four year old became interested in learning how to write letters at the beginning of the school year, with the expectation at preschool to write his name to sign in each day. He is very resistant to instruction from us on how to form letters, but he loves working with this app. I love how customizable it is, with user-defined word lists, different fonts (currently Zaner-Bloser, D'Nealian, and Handwriting Without Tears), and the ability to finely tweak different aspects of difficulty. I also like how I can see what my son has been doing with it.

    I contacted the author to ask whether he would consider adding Getty-Dubay Italic style to the program, and he is considering it for the next revision! He is incredibly responsive and nice. What a great set of apps he's made - I think we have all of the English-language ones now except for the cursive one.

  • Incorrect teaching

    It teaches children how to form the letter b incorrectly. Appalling... Trying to figure out how to refund.
  • Blank Screen!

    I updated the app. Now when you tap onto the shape tracing all you get is a blank screen. What on earth!! Fix it please.
  • Excellent

    You must buy this app. It is well worth it.
  • Very well designed

    What a fantastic app for helping young children write and learn their letters, my 4 year old triplets love it and are already benefitting from the experience. You can tell the developer has worked around children, the app comes with many customisable features all well thought out and works wonderfully with a stylus.

    As with another review I'd also like a few more fonts or font options - specifically a non italic rounded 'y' character similar to the one seen within the italic font, other than that I've found the last font almost perfectly meets my children's needs. Perhaps also providing the sounds for the Z character in UK English (zed instead of zee), though the app is great as you can re-record these sounds yourself so not a big issue.

    9.8/10 highly recommended.
