This is great but…

Ok this app has NOTHING to do. You have to pay for everything please if you are looking at this do not get this app. You are going to barely use it and it’s just horrible. If the app maker is reading this please make the app better.

Response from developer

Please reach out to appsupport@handwritingsuccess.com to let us help you get the most out of the App. Were you using a palm-rejection stylus? We're curious to know what you'd like to see so that we can improve the App for others. We strive to be clear upfront — this App simply provides proven handwriting instruction ebooks that you can write in with a tablet and stylus. It's an economical alternative to buying the physical workbooks, and there's no commitment — you can try the app and the content before you buy it.

Bait and switch

This is advertised as a free app with in app purchase. That’s all fine and good except you can’t use it without purchasing a subscription. Thus it is not a free app at all.

Response from developer

It is advertised correctly: It is free to download and try with free sample content and has available subscription content. Are you using the required palm-rejection stylus, such as the Apple Pencil? Please reach out to appsupport@handwritingsuccess.com if you need help using the app.

Amazing resource!

This is the greatest teach-yourself-handwriting resource for the electronic aids that I have ever seen. It may even be the greatest teach-yourself-handwriting resource of ANY kind that I have ever seen.

Response from developer

Hi! The app provides several how-to pages on first startup, and you can access these anytime by selecting the "How to use this app" menu item. Choose the ebook you'd like to try (WRITE NOW is the ebook for adults) and that places it in "My Bookshelf". From there, touch the ebook cover to view, navigate and write in it with your palm-rejections stylus. Please reach out to appsupport@handwritingsuccess.com for app support.

Meh

My kid got better at writing but nothing to good since I’m an English teacher.
