"This has gone from a great app to an awesome app with the new update. Thanks for listening to our feedback and doing these changes." - Customer review "Brilliant - fun way to learn Victorian cursive. I have been waiting for an app like this - a fun way teach Victorian Modern Cursive, an app my special needs son enjoys playing with and learns as he goes. He can even use a stylus to draw the letters and build the muscle memory in his hand, that can later be transferred to writing with a pencil or pen. All children will benefit from this app, presenting learning writing in an exciting format, great guides to help learn where to start and stop letters, and great celebration pages to keep them interested and rewarded. I like that you can use the word lists or make your own so then the app grows with the child into writing full words, not just letters. I think I will be trying it out with my son's spelling lists too and double benefit - writing and spelling. It is also great to be able to teach Aussie formats such as Victorian Modern Cursive.... Almost all the apps I have tried have been US based. Thanks FizzBrain!

I have also tried to use it & it’s a complete waste of time ### 1/5 — No go *2022-10-19* Total dud. Frustrating purchase. I cannot play along with the app. It possibly has a bug. ### 3/5 — Great except for left handers *2018-12-03* Great app, but completely useless to us as it doesn’t toggle for left and right handers. Left handers need to write slightly differently to right handers, and it’s a shame the app doesn’t accommodate this (particularly with stroke direction on some letters). Stroke direction for left and right handers is set in Victorian Cursive so it really should be included. ### 1/5 — Not compatible *2017-03-08* Why it is not compatible with iPad 4??? How can it be fixed? **Developer response:** So sorry for this problem! The app has been updated to work on older iPads - be sure to download version 3.1 and don't hesitate to contact us with any future concerns at fizzbrain@gmail.com - we are a small mom and pop studio and we pride ourselves on customer service! ### 1/5 — Not compatible *2017-02-27* Trying to update and no longer compatible. **Developer response:** So sorry for this problem! The app has been updated to work on older iPads - be sure to download version 3.1 and don't hesitate to contact us with any future concerns at fizzbrain@gmail.com - we are a small mom and pop studio and we pride ourselves on customer service! ### 2/5 — Not compatible *2017-02-21* This app was once used daily by my kids, now I can't download it cause it's not compatible with my iPad 4. And it's a compulsory app for school, all the primary students use it. Please fix this issue. Thank you. **Developer response:** So sorry for this problem! The app has been updated to work on older iPads - be sure to download version 3.1 and don't hesitate to contact us with any future concerns at fizzbrain@gmail.com - we are a small mom and pop studio and we pride ourselves on customer service! ### 3/5 — Near perfect *2015-10-29* It is almost perfect and my students love it. The only problem is in letter sounds the vowels are letter names. Please fix and it would be perfect. ### 3/5 — Sounds *2013-02-22* I am a reading teacher in a Victorian school so the script is perfect but we don't teach words using letter names. The app would be so much better if the voice over used the sounds instead. Also, a choice of food other than cupcakes would be good, perhaps healthy foods like following a carrot. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2012-11-02* The best Vic cursive app I have found! The kids love it! ## Frequently asked questions about Australian Touch and Write ### What is Australian Touch and Write?
