Overall, this app isn’t bad at all. Because of the pandemic, I wasn’t able to learn cursive in my third grade and fourth classes since they were all virtual (I’m now in sixth grade). So when I got the app, I started practicing. This app works pretty well - it shows you the letter, how to write it, and then has you write it too. It’s great for learning and practicing, and if it starts to get boring, you can change the settings so that when you are tracing, you trace with cool 3D lines instead of plain boring pencil lines. There are no ads, which is definitely a plus, especially if there are six and seven year olds using this. I now know how to fluently write in cursive, but I still keep the app for my first grade sister. The one thing with the app is that even with the cool trying stuff, it gets boring quickly. After about five to ten minutes in this app, I would get distracted and I would disengage really quickly. If you could maybe make a coin system, maybe every time you learn and practice a letter a certain amount of times, you get coins. You could then buy new tracing things in a shop, instead of getting them all for free. This could easily be five stars if you did that, but again, just a suggestion. Great job overall, and if you are a parent, I recommend buying this app if you want your child to learn cursive. Thanks for Reading! ~ARandomSixthGrader~ **Developer response:** Thanks for your review and feedback :-) We are delighted to hear that our app has been beneficial for your cursive learning journey and that you found its features useful. Your idea about implementing a coin system is indeed interesting. We believe that this could indeed make the learning process more fun and rewarding. We will definitely consider this for our future updates. ### 5/5 — IPA Letters and pronunciation *2022-06-15, version 4.7* can you add the International Phonetic Alphabet letters and how they’re pronounced? I really like the International Phonetic Alphabet. Maybe in another update? ### 5/5 — Bug sur les chiffres *2022-04-29* Bonjour, lorsque mon enfant doit dessiner les chiffres la ligne d’écriture est complètement décalée vers le haut quelque soit le chiffre. Nous ne le voyons pas en entier et impossible de le tracer.À part ça l’appli est vraiment géniale. **Developer response:** Bonjour, nous n'arrivons pas à reproduire votre problème, il a surement été fixé dans la dernière mise à jour. N hésitez-pas à nous contacter à l'adresse support@lescapadou.com si vous avez un problème ou une suggestion. ### 5/5 — PLEASE ADD THOSE TO ZB! *2022-03-08* I Like It But Please Add Those Stuff To ZB! **Developer response:** Hello, suggestions and feedback are welcome! Please contact us at support@lescapadou.com to explain what you want. Thanks ### 5/5 — Fabulous 1 *2021-12-30* As an educational Therapist, with my Masters in special education and as a reading specialist, this is my #1 recommendation! Really brilliant students with dyslexia will write their letters differently every time so it never gets anchored into their memory the same and is easily confused. This program anchors in the direction of the letters while they hear it. Fabulous. I’ve recommended these products so often I should be making commission ! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your review! ### 5/5 — Eine Bitte … *2021-09-21* Eigentlich 2… Das kleine m ist mit so einem langen Bogen am Anfang geschrieben. In Deutschland wird das aber oben begonnen. Kann’s hier jetzt nicht zeigen 😅 Und Großbuchstaben habe ich nicht einstellen können… geht das irgendwo? Oder gibt es ein deutsches Tutorial? Sonst wie vorher schon gesagt, gutes Programm. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank :-) ### 5/5 — Tá bugado? De: Marco Antonio. Para: L'Escapadou. *2021-05-07* Olá, L'Escapadou. Percebi um Bug Na fonte French Cursive, os números ficam fora do meu alcance. Será que é raro ou é normal no App? **Developer response:** Olá, você poderia nos contatar em support@lescapadou.com para descrever seu problema (não podemos reproduzi-lo) - obrigado ### 5/5 — Superb *2021-03-11* I am a primary teacher and this app has been absolutely fantastic for our school. It has provided children with a fun, multi-sensory method of practising their handwriting. It’s great how you can add your own lists too. It has been very cleverly designed and I would highly recommend it to schools. No other app does what this does. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — A definite asset *2021-02-19* My visually-oriented kindergartener, who reads at a 3rd grade level, was having a bit of a problem following directional instructions for making cursive letters. After 10-15 minutes a day playing with the Cursive app, and then going back to his printed worksheets, he is breaking through his barriers. The animation feedback, repetition, and totally dispassionate patience of the app is just the thing he needed. Our 2-year-old preschooler, while playing with the Writing Wizard app, is learning small motor skills and the importance of following instructions. Because of the miscellaneous animations, she is also learning physics, fluid dynamics, and so much more. We have definitely recouped our investment in the app by the end of this first week. **Developer response:** Thanks for your positive review ! ### 5/5 — This is the best cursive writing ever *2021-01-24, version 4.2* This is the best scary cursive writing ever I love this cursive writing is so fun yay hey so fun I want to take it everywhere but I can’t because that stage is or some for you the best ### 5/5 — Mommy I love you ❤️💜🧡🖤❣️💖💕💘💛🤍💞💝💚🤎💓💙💗🇹🇷 *2021-01-16, version 4.2* Thank you ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-01-09* I love this app. I wish that the words I added on the iPhone were also automatically also on the iPad when we choose to use that device. I think that each list has to be imported to each different device. That’s the only thing I can think of that would make it better. ;) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-12-31* Intuitive, GREAT PRACTICE of cursive letters, numbers, our own words!! I love this app and use it in our homeschool, even for my teen that needs the practice and reminders for proper formation. ### 5/5 — Coool! *2020-11-18, version 4.2* Especially cool ### 5/5 — Must have *2020-09-30* Must have especially with kids who just started learning cursive. My daughter is left handed and I love it how it also teaches her how to write left handed. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! ### 5/5 — love the app *2020-07-08, version 4.0.1* really helps me to write cursive because we weren’t taught in school 🦔 ### 5/5 — Modélisant et personnalisa le *2020-06-13* Excellente application, le bon geste d’écriture, merci et bravo. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is for 2 year olds :( *2020-10-11* ALL YOU DO IS TRASE SHAPES IS DOES NOTHING DON’T GET!!!!! **Developer response:** Hello, this is an app to learn to trace cursive letters and words - perhaps you thought it was a game for adults ? You can ask Apple for a refund, please contact us at support@lescapadou.com, we will explain to you how to do it. ### 1/5 — Letters are not cursive! *2019-08-13* This app seems to think cursive letters are just print letters with tails. I completely messes up k, b, x and others, which will TOTALLY CONFUSE YOUR CHILD! App should show all the letters so teachers and adults can know what they are getting into. None of the letters with ascenders even have loops for ascenders. This is not simply a matter of “my version of cursive is different than yours.” This is fundamentally being too lazy to make actual cursive. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry I don't really understand your review: the 6 cursive fonts included in the app have been created from the ones used in schools (and that's why we sold 33,000 units to schools). And the most important part of the app is that you can write *any words* which is one of the trickiest things when you learn cursive (the link between letters). Letters alone may be interesting at the beginning but the connection between letters is the key afterward (and the same letter can be a little different according to the letter before and after). Please contact us at support@lescapadou for more information, or to explain how you can get a refund. ### 1/5 — Black outs *2018-05-22, version 3.5* Worst app Ibe ever bought. Buggy and constantly blacks out, further frustrating my child. ### 1/5 — What's wrong? *2016-01-07* I just paid for this app, and it won't open! It keeps shutting down. Frustrating! **Developer response:** Hi, many updates have been done since your 2016 review and it should work fine now. Could you update your review? Thanks! ### 1/5 — Schade!!!!!! *2014-09-07* Hätte mir diese App in Deutsch gewünscht dann wäre alles super!!!!! ### 2/5 — Thanks but is wierd *2020-07-07, version 4.0.1* Weird ### 2/5 — Ummm *2019-09-20, version 3.8* Too stubborn when at 5 stars please make this app more user friendly and I would love to see more new features like picking a different color/tool to spell the words with please thanks ### 2/5 — Very glitchy app *2019-07-30* This app is very glitchy. It started off okay, and the effects are really nice, but once we got to the letter b it would not allow us to continue tracing the letter. It was like it did not sense the touch halfway through the letter. We tried several other letters and it does the same thing. It is a great concept, if only it would work properly. We even got the paid version so we’re out $5 for a non-working app. **Developer response:** Hi - Please contact us at support@lescapadou.com so we can resolve your issue, it must be related to settings of your device or something else since it is the first time this issue is reported (and we sold a lot of units). Thanks. ### 2/5 — UK cursive font *2015-10-16* Inclusion of UK cursive font with a 'b' which is closed at the top would make it useful as a home teaching tool. As it is, I'm afraid it's £3.99 wasted for me. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t include uppercase cursive *2020-11-10* While I appreciate that the app has lowercase cursive and there are no issues with that, my son is also trying to learn uppercase cursive and I did not see any option for this. I’m willing to change my rating if I’m mistaken but I went through all the options and couldn’t figure it out. Sort of disappointing since he has trouble just using the tracing books and this is a method that generally really works for him. **Developer response:** Hello, all fonts are defined according to school curriculum. There are some fonts where uppercases looks like block letters and some - like the French one - where uppercases are cursive. Please contact us at support@lescapadou.com to let us which font you're using - we add new fonts regularly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New Request *2026-06-18, version 5.2* Request: Add 13 new Cursive Fonts to the font collection please. ### 5/5 — New Requests for 2026 *2026-04-26* Request: Add 13 Cursive Fonts To The Font Collection I can choose one of the 10+ cursive fonts to my font collection for this app since you forgot. **Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion! Adding new fonts is not as simple as it sounds — each font has to be carefully recreated so that it works properly as a tracing and writing guide in the app. That takes a significant amount of work for each one. That said, we're always looking at ways to expand our font options. Feel free to reach out to us at support@lescapadou.com if you'd like to share more details about the fonts you have in mind! ### 5/5 — Best app ever! *2025-11-10* If you’re looking for an app that helps you with letters cursive basically anything you really need help with that is a riding app this is a really good app for your kids because you draw and have fun too.
