### 5/5 — Great Educational App 👍🏼

*2019-10-09*

Simple and easy to be used by kids. I would suggest to add one more option to the letters section , by adding pictures for items start with the chosen letter so the kid can make an image for the letter related to that item too .

### 1/5 — WILL NOT DOWNLOAD

*2019-04-03*

This app looked awesome for my four year old son. Sadly after I spent $1.99 it wouldn’t download. I tried deleting the app and starting over.......still nothing 😢

**Developer response:** Sorry you are having trouble. Please email me and I’ll be happy to help.

### 2/5 — No sound

*2019-01-13*

It would be nice if it said the letter they were tracing.

**Developer response:** It does say the letter names. Please make sure your device is not muted and the volume is turned up.

### 1/5 — Crashes still

*2018-04-11*

4/2018 After being notified by the developer that crash had been solved we gave it another go. On capital letters we made it to m and p before crashing, and on lowercase we were on t when it crashed. We appreciate the developers efforts, and communication. But unfortunately can not reach the end of the alphabet yet!

10/2017 Love the concept, unfortunately it crashes every 10 letters my child does. If this were fixed it seems like a great app. Monster keeps child engaged. Recommendations (other than fixing the crash) would be different colored monsters hatching. It would add suspense.

**Developer response:** The crash you described should no longer occur in version 1.4. Please update. Feel free to email me if you continue to have issues.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-07-24*

My three year old loves this. Simple to use and educational. He loves the cute little dinosaur guy's reactions!

### 5/5 — Writing fun!

*2017-07-22*

This is a wonderful way to learn to write your letters and numbers. My 3 year old grandson has mastered it already thanks to this fun app. Cute little characters and music keep you entertained and motivated. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-07-19*

Great for kids!

*2017-07-16*

Best app of its kind! My kiddo just loves this-- plays through each time. Well made, just plain fun. Please make more!

The educational value is sound, and my daughter doesn't even notice she's learning-- aces all around!

### 5/5 — Learn to write...made simple, made fun!

*2017-07-15*

This puts the emphasis on letter formation - not giant crayons and reams of paper. The workspace is (very simply) your iPad. And the game format adds to the fun of learning. My Grandson loves this!

### 5/5 — Great app for learning letters

*2017-07-14*

My 3 year old loves it and is able to go through the entire alphabet now!
