. just being honest here writing up for a two-year-old would’ve been better not trying to be mean th

'i’ll i’m not trying to be a try to be mean to the creators of this, but it could’ve been a pain once honestly because it’s like has books and stuff and it’s really hard for me to read because I have dyslexia and so like it just could’ve been like it could’ve been another thing where it has like sheets of paper where you weren’t to write instead of just books not trying to be mean, but I don’t really like this app

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.

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.

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.

the most confusing thing ever!!

How do I even use the app??

Meh

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

Paid then taken away

I paid for workbook and used for a while. Later after update i no longer have access and must pay again for same content. Be careful.

Lost the book I purchased 3 days ago

I lost the book I just purchased and the restore button did not work. Please give me the book back or refund me.

Response from developer

Please reach out to appsupport@handwritingsuccess.com with your support questions and we will be happy to assist you. All App Store refunds are handled directly through Apple and not by the developer.

Pay for the app and the same price for the workbooks

It costs the same price to buy the app as it does to use anything in the app. You can sample workbooks but you still have to pay another 12 dollars to actually use the whole book. Sad :(

It’s a store app.

You purchase the practice material within the app. It fails to make you privy to that information prior to download. Deceptive, silly and expensive.

Can’t even try

To use this app, you have to pay for something. DO NOT DOWLOAD!

Payment required to use

It’s okay to charge for apps, but don’t publish an just for people to download then force them to buy stuff before they can use it. Just disclose purchases are required before the download to not waste our time.

Misleading

It doesn’t at all mention in the app information or pictures provided that you need to purchase books in the app to practice and use the app. No mention of how much they are until you install the app. I would’ve weighed this with other paid apps if it was properly advertised.

Edit: they messaged me to say that the app description says that there will be purchases. They mentioned free samples and that the app has books for purchase or subscription, doesn’t say the price at all in description and I have screenshots to prove it. Again, as a consumer I’d rather see the full cost because it’s easier to compare and make an informed purchase. I didn’t say it wasn’t a good deal just that I don’t want to see the prices after downloading your app.

It to bad 🤬

You all know what

Love

One of the resolution is to improve my handwriting.

I never thought that my handwriting would actually improve. I'm ecstatic:)

I started with the adult book Write Now. Which was great but then l got book A for 5 to 6 years old. At least for me starting from there is the best method of practicing. Tracing the letters quietly is like Meditation.

Don't miss registering on their website and watching a video of one of their workshop . Great tips and you can follow along with their adult book on the app Write Now. I'm so glad I bought the app..

It is amazing

I didn’t actually pay for it, put from the samples, it looks good.
I wish I can pay and use it.

Not cursive

This app does not teach you actual cursive writing, it's a mix between cursive and print.

Great Product! Great Service!

As a former teacher, former school administrator and now education consultant, I give this program high marks for my experiences with my daughter.

I purchased this for my daughter as she is learning how to write. If you didn’t know, not all schools cover this as heavily anymore. She has sloppy handwriting (which is normal) but we wanted to improve it.

This has been a great purchase that has helped her handwriting as it does a gradual release of how to write correctly!

She also loves it and asks to use it which I really appreciate! (Every kid is different though..)

There service is also AMAZING!! I was having some issues and they responded right away with a solution and were able to get us up and going quickly!!

Hope this is helpful to someone out there!

Disclaimer: My daughter does not have special needs. You should evaluate the program based on your individual child needs.

Would be wonderful if it worked with voice over.

I’m a visually impaired homeschool mom and I have used the print workbooks of this program with my eldest child. When I found out about this app I was really excited since Getty Dubai do not offer pdf versions of their books. So I downloaded the app and purchased the teachers Manual and quickly realized that the ebooks on this app do not work with voice over. I require voice over software because of my visual impairment. It generally works with pdf’s and kindle books with text to speech enabled. I prefer digital books over print for obvious reasons. I wish this app could work for us as it sounds like a wonderful app but unless they make it voice over friendly, I’ll have to stick to the print books. I just wish I didn’t have to waste $12 on an ebook before discovering all of this.
