### 5/5 — This game is amazing;🤩

*2024-07-17, version 2.2.9*

So nothing bad at all just a few tips! I wish you can put more sentences instead of like 4. And I also wish there would be like more colors like rainbow ones! 🌈 Also more quotes from famous people! But anyways your game is so underrated!! Your the only game I like :) also kinda a red flag when you put address is” where you live” who my brother is” it’s very creepy 🤨 I do not like that- it’s so sketchy 😶‍🌫️

### 2/5 — Maybe OK for phones, but font is too large on iPad

*2023-06-27, version 2.2.9*

I bought this to help improve my own handwriting - as an adult. The content itself is not bad, but on iPad the text is extremely large, and the font size cannot be decreased by the user to fix this. The text is somewhat smaller if you tell the app to provide entire sentences rather than words or letters, but the text is still at least 3x the size of text on college-ruled lined paper.
This makes the app mostly useless for my practice, as the hand movements are very different at that scale. 

So, the addition of a font size feature would be a huge bonus, and bring the app up to 4 or 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Wow

### 1/5 — Horrible. App

*2021-05-26, version 2.2.8*

This app asks for your address which is part of the cursive practice and that is very very bad and it also asks What house you live in so this is a very sketchy place no.

### 5/5 — Wow
