So far waste of money

App crashes and kicks me out to the home screen when I choose ‘learn the characters’ or ‘write with help’.
Waste of money. DONT BUY 😔

Not compatible with Apple pencil

There are several apps that allow me to practice calligraphy with my Apple pencil on the iPad. This does not. The only option is to draw letters 3 to 4 inches tall using two fingers. The letters are beautiful, and the app seems well designed, but it does not work the way I had hoped. I wish I had not spent money on this.

Swipe function

There should really be an option not to swipe back to the previous page, it's very frustrating to keep doing this when you mean to draw a line right to left.
