Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Dexteria is designed to support fine motor skill development through structured activities, which may feel different from typical games. We understand that every child is unique, and not every app is a perfect fit for every situation. If your child was frustrated or something went wrong, we’d love to learn more and see how we can help. Please feel free to reach out to us at feedback@dexteria.net. We appreciate your comments.

multi user doesn’t work

I paid for multi user, but can’t return to the game once a user is added. Really frustrating!

Response from developer

Hi Dr. Yew, sorry you are having problems with the app. Can you please contact us at feedback@dexteria.net so we can help resolve the issue? Thank you.

Use after stroke

Very helpful in relearning fine motor skills after a stroke.

Not Worth The Money

Write It is useful. Pinch It is just a game, while the biggest disappointment is Tap It which is totally useless for someone with adult sized fingers.
