3.2.0

November 10, 2026

Practice that adds up! Every letter your child finishes now counts, even when they trace it again. Letters earn bronze, silver and gold medals with practice, the star count keeps growing, and a twinkle shows which letters are ready to practice again. New for grown-ups: • Hide the colors, the Trace and Draw switch, Clear or Save to Photos so your child can focus on tracing • Turn off the Doodle tab • See how many letters were traced today and this week

User reviews

Terrific

This app is useful to me as a kindergarten teacher. I would like to have settings that would allow me to turn off the clear button. I don't want to be asked if I want to clear it each time.

Abc practice

I perhaps missed something but how do you view the photo gallery? Yes, it allows you to trace but perhaps move the example letter to the left of the page. That would allow the user to practice without the guide, too.

Potential

A great start - add lowercase alphabet and numbers 0-9 and you will have parents and teachers everywhere using and recommending.

Good concept, needs developing!

I love the idea of utilising the iPad to assist with handwriting, which is very engaging for children. However, the app really needs to have lower case letters if I were to use this app in the classroom.

I strongly recommend making the lower case letters available in the next version. It might be a good idea to make a pro version, where you could charge extra for the lower case letters. Surely there is an opportunity for making the digits 0 to 9 available as well.

This is great if you only want to tackle capital letters. Lower case letters would have made this awesome! Will be deleting.
