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. ### 3/5 — More cursive *2020-01-16, version 2.2.8* Please add more letters please add sentences in more words it’s a great game but I need some more tweaks ### 5/5 — So awesome!!!! *2018-11-03, version 2.2.8* Omg this app is so great I can learn words uppercase and lowercase and numbers! If you are looking for a good cursive app get this and it is free!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Yay for this app! *2017-11-21, version 2.2.8* I'm so happy that I found this app! Great for children to learn cursive.📝❤️ ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2017-09-15, version 2.2.7* Great app! ### 5/5 — Fun!!!! *2016-12-11, version 2.2.6* This app helps A LOT and I love using it!You should for sure get it ### 4/5 — Waiting for Expanded!! *2016-10-03, version 2.2.6* So far so good! I am in my grading years so I learned most of this 55 years ago. I can breeze through the examples and exercises but I want more. Lots and lots more! ### 4/5 — Floppy hands *2015-10-26, version 2.2.3* Writing sentences has been the best way for me to relearn cursive. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2015-07-18, version 2.2.0* This is a good app for teaching cursive writing. ### 5/5 — Great app for autistic kid *2015-06-24, version 2.1.0* Love it, super easy for my son to learn and practice cursive writing. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2015-05-09, version 2.1.0* It's better than others but it lacks a couple of basic functions. 1. The ability to create and save your own words & sentences. Good when kids are practicing writing their own names & words they have problems writing. 2. The ability to go up & down the alphabet sequence (in alphabetical order). If your kid needs to practice specific letters, you have to shuffle the letters until you get the one you need. ### 4/5 — Good idea *2015-01-24, version 2.1.0* I use this app in my classroom and I think it is a fantastic way to introduce children to cursive. The only problem I have with it is that it teaches kids to form the uppercase letter Q incorrectly. ### 3/5 — It's okay *2014-09-09, version 2.1.0* I sort of like it but I sort of don't. For kids who are learning cursive this app is a good idea. My little cousin, makenzie loves it. ### 3/5 — 😴😴😴 *2013-11-14, version 2.1.0* Bit boring, handy but... Could be more fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — 😓😓😓 *2020-07-07, version 2.2.8* Bad ### 1/5 — Terrible for my kids *2019-12-22, version 2.2.8* So I installed this app and if you click on sentences and than click ‘basic’ it says “I am Years old” “I live at” “I LOVE YOU.” “ My sisters name is”” my address is” “ my brothers name is” “ “ my name is “ my phone number is “ my favorite color is” “my cats name is “ “ my dog’s name is” thank you for”. I mean I have taught my kids to know better than to give anyone/any website or app your p info unless your sure that it is safe so they came to me. I know this was maybe “intended” for kids to learn to spell write but it’s clearly louring them into something bad. Guys these people should know better and we should too. Keep your kids safe from these sort of apps. I meant to put no stars but I have to put a rating so ### 1/5 — Many errors *2018-01-25, version 2.2.8* It is locked on upper case. When I select lower case it goes to Upper case A. When I select lower case y it goes to uppercase A It makes it impossible to learn to learn writing ### 1/5 — PLEASE READ. *2017-04-30, version 2.2.6* This app was thought to be innocent. I looked at all of the sentences, which started off with "I am ____ years old." They then progressed to say "my address is ____." I don't trust this app at all! My son will not be on it! ### 1/5 — Terrible!!! *2015-02-07, version 2.1.0* It just lets you scribble on it and let's u move on!😤😤DO NOT BUY APP!!!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-04-18, version 2.0* Downloaded this to help my son with his cursive. After it quit three times within two minutes I felt bad for making him use it. ### 1/5 — Looks good but crashes every few minutes *2013-03-04, version 2.0* This app does look very good, however it crashes every few minutes for no apparent reason - very frustrating... ### 1/5 — This app has a virus *2013-02-28, version 2.0* The minute I downloaded this my IPad died. This app isn't very good ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2012-12-27, version 2.0* Will not install - rubbish! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 😶‍🌫️ ### 5/5 — Wow *2022-01-15, version 2.2.8* realy great and it makes it super easy to remember cursive ### 5/5 — ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ *2021-10-23, version 2.2.8* I like it ### 5/5 — Learn *2021-08-08, version 2.2.8* This game helps me practice cursive.
