Best of its kind
Easy for a preschooler to use.
Awesome app - best of class
For the past 5 years this app continues to be the best in its class. My daughter has special needs and visual impairments, and every other app like this gets no traction at all. Bravo devs!!!
Glad to see the update
I have been waiting to buy this for 5 years. I use an app tracker to alert me when the price changes or the app is update. I was shocked when I saw this get updated after so many years. I can confirm this works great on iOS 10. Very bare bones writing app with letters and numbers, but it is great for my son who is struggling with his dexterity. He uses a stylus to practice his handwriting. Some updates to the graphics or different learning modes would be appreciated.

Love this app
This app is very useful perfect for my learning toodler.
Great sounds
Really interesting keeps the kids playing. Great if just learning to form letters.
Helping my toddler write and spell words
I got the app to help my toddler with her writing skills. She is doing great. A few weeks later she was playing and just started to spell words out loud and after each word she would say, "that spells..."
Good, but more realistic and fun pictures please!
This app is very good. My kid likes it very much but I think the pictures are not attractive at all, compared to pictures on other kid's apps. Please change the pictures to more colourful, realistic and fun resemblances of the objects and animals they are supposed to be.
Why do the letters of the words drop into haphazard angles and random positions, and not their upright and correct positions always? What is the lesson? Won't it help to teach the kids how to spell, if they dropped in their upright and correct order of spelling these word?
At least, the letters should drop in upright positions, even if in random order, so that to further aid in spelling, the letters can be sent to the rotating wheel (and gotten rid of) ONLY in the correct order of spelling the word.
Thanks for your audience.

You can change the "letter block rotation" setting to off, to make the letters always dropped in upright positions.
Good BUT ....
My two year old Grandson absolutely loves this and it has taught him to write letters and numbers with ease. However, he's now learning phonics and this urgently needs an English accent for the UK as well as phonics to make it a really useful tool for small children. You can't synthesise "see - ay - tee" into CAT. It's a good tool which, with a few tweaks, could be great. Please sort it! Thank you.

You can change the voice setting to UK English. But we design iWriteWords for learning to write, not for learning to read. The app focuses on teaching handwriting by writing one letter at a time. We can not use phonetic sounds because some of them are represented by more than one letter. For example, the word "chair" will force iWriteWords to display more than 1 letter at a time as a single unit, "ch", and "air".
Very good
My daughter loves this app since she is 3,5 years old. She loves the little box that goes to the edge as well. Thanks
Add your own word option.
Almost 3 year old loves this game and the falling blocks. Like others I would love to see the option of having the child write his/her name.
Really cool
My son finally started using it!
The app really shines at showing the proper order when writing letters and numbers

Good app but lacks a phonics option
Good app and my daughter (3) loves playing it but would be much better for her learning if there was a phonics option. Please update!!!

Needs a little more.
My three year old loves this app! I bought him a stylus and he just goes to town. I'd love to see the option of creating your own words to write so he can write his name! Another little thing that would be neat would be having the letter sounds.
Great app buy let us choose letter
My kindergarten ESL kids are responding very well to this app. Their letter-sound awareness is improving. I just wish I could start session at a chosen letter instead of 'Aa' so I could have them take turns. Like this they never get to the second half of the alphabet as I am very limited on time. Great app though!

Download the trial and fell in love with it immediately. The falling boxes and the portal kept my child's interest.
Great teaching app!
I got this for my daughter to practice her writing of letters. It's a great way to get her to see how letters sound out words in short spurts of time
additional practice
an additional application that i would really like to have would be that a parent or teacher could add in the student's name into the tasks so that he or she will make the letters in his name the proper way. I am working with a student that knows how to write his name, but makes the letters incorrectly.

Some things arnt great.
You guys need to remove those stupid falling boxes and the portal. It's just plain confusing to younger kids who finish a word and are ready to move on.
Found this on KinderTown
Found this app on KinderTown and love it.
Worth the download
My 3 year old loves this app, learning how to write letters and numbers very quickly!
