I thought more would be available for free. ### 3/5 — Will not upgrade *2025-05-26, version 1.2.6* I love what I have seen for free but it will not upgrade for me. I get the circle of death not to go on. ### 4/5 — Great but could be better. *2025-04-02, version 1.2.6* Maybe with the full version it is better. But it’s a good starter app! ### 4/5 — Decent handwriting app *2025-01-04, version 1.2.6* I live the different pen features and how they display on the digital canvas. Will check more features/content and update accordingly. ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-12-29, version 1.2.6* I like the idea this app. I have to learn to use it more but so far it is fun ### 3/5 — Fun App but it Needs a little work *2024-09-16, version 1.2.6* I was enjoying the free version and wanted the ability to type my own words or names to trace and every time I type my last name it changes the spelling. It also switches random letters within words to capital letters and will make the first letter lowercase. If this can be fixed I would definitely give this app a higher rating considering I just paid for it and I’m regretting my purchase. ### 4/5 — It’s fun *2024-09-07, version 1.2.6* It’s fun but I wish there was more fonts ### 3/5 — Easy to use *2024-08-04, version 1.2.6* The app is easy to use, however, there isn't alot todo. I would want to see something more substantial before I would see if it is worth while purchasing ### 3/5 — Not very much to chose from without paying *2024-07-28, version 1.2.6* Not very much to choose from without buying 101 ### 4/5 — pretty good *2024-07-04, version 1.2.6* i enjoy this because it teaches me things i will use in my artwork that i do by hand! ### 3/5 — It works for beginners *2024-06-20, version 1.2.6* Needs improve but so far is good ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-06-06, version 1.2.6* It is a pretty good app for beginners.it is pretty helpful and fun to use and very easy to use ### 3/5 — Not free *2024-04-11, version 1.2.6* Have to pay even for basic alphabet. ### 4/5 — Naomi *2024-04-05, version 1.2.6* Thanks ### 3/5 — Just downloaded *2024-03-24, version 1.2.6* I try to use the “type your own” words and no matter what I do it capitalizes one of the letters that I don’t want capitalized. ### 2/5 — Eh ok not the best *2024-03-21, version 1.2.6* The feature of tracing your own words does not work keeps changing the name I want to trace why?!?! Uhh ### 4/5 — Practice *2024-02-23, version 1.2.6* This app is really good for practicing professional writing and calligraphy. Just what i needed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not get the app *2025-04-05, version 1.2.6* Every time I try drawing with it, I push it out the bottom, but then it goes all the way to the top. Do not get the app. It’s so bad. ### 1/5 — Waste *2025-01-02, version 1.2.6* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2024-06-09, version 1.2.6* I was disappointed when I paid for it expecting something more. There brushes that are way more. This is very limited. I wish I could get a refund. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2024-02-10, version 1.2.6* You have to pay money to get an eraser ### 1/5 — Worst waste of $3.99 *2024-01-19, version 1.2.6* The type your own text feature doesn’t work. Complete waste of money. ### 1/5 — Locks up *2023-09-11, version 1.2.5* I can’t access any tools. The screen is locked on one page and can only draw—no editing or even closing out the screen. Only closing the app and reopening takes me back to the same locked up page. I upgraded to Pro and it’s still locked to on canvas. ### 1/5 — Not free *2022-12-06, version 1.1.9* You have to pay for everything! You get one color for free and one background and with a few letters one brush. Not fun! Deleted! ### 1/5 — 5 letters before you buy *2021-01-24, version 1.0.8* You have to pay to get anywhere. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2020-09-29, version 1.0.3* Can’t draw lower case letters ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-07-24, version 1.0.3* Not good. Don’t waste your money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Relaxing! *2026-01-06, version 1.2.9* This app is fantastic. ### 5/5 — Melhor de Todos *2026-01-05, version 1.2.9* Cara, todo mundo não dá 5 estrelas para esse aplicativo, mas como eu gosto muito de caligrafia, eu dou uns 5 estrelas pra mim ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-28, version 1.2.9* Great app love it! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2024-12-31, version 1.2.6* Easy to use and fun ### 5/5 — A little treasure app *2024-11-07, version 1.2.6* Been wanting to learn calligraphy for so long now. Always found it difficult. Discovered this app today quite by accident. I love the way it allows you to trace over the letters etc and erase it again so you can practice multiple times until you get used to the strokes and how you make them. Great little app to practice calligraphy ### 5/5 — Great *2024-10-04, version 1.2.6* I love this app I learned how to write hey! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-08-27, version 1.2.6* Great to Get started ### 5/5 — Great for beginners *2024-07-12, version 1.2.6* This app is easy to use and free!
