Funny cat thing

### 5/5 — ひらがなを楽しく学んでくれます！

*2021-08-24*

4歳の娘がひらがなをなかなか覚えてくれなかった時にYouTubeで紹介されてたのを見て購入。
これまで全然やる気がなかった娘が楽しそうにひらがなをずっとなぞってみるみるうちに覚えていく姿に感動しています！

### 4/5 — 改善希望

*2013-03-23*

素晴らしいアプリです。
5歳の息子がみるみる平仮名を理解してます。
ただ、一点改善希望があります。
「そ」の字ですが、2画のものと1画のものを設定で選べるようにしていただきたいです。
現在小学校では1画のものを教えています。私達の時代は確か2画であったと記憶してます。
出来れば、現在の指導要綱に沿ったものを覚えさせたいと思いますのでよろしくお願いします。

### 4/5 — iPadネイティブ対応希望

*2012-12-05*

すごくいいですね。
できればiPadネイティブ対応もしてください。

### 5/5 — 書き順重視

*2012-06-03*

自分の名前を練習できるのがいいですね。
年長さんになって、園で自分の名前を書く機会が多くなってきたのに、まだ1文字目しか書けなくて困っていたところです。

### 5/5 — Great for practicing hiragana letters at your own pace.

*2012-02-07*

This app was REALLY helpful to me, with this app I can pick any hiragana letter I have trouble writing and it let me have it, I can erase it and do it as much as I like, I can go to the next one if I had enough writing this hiragana letter. If your taking Japanese class like me, I recommend getting this app, because this really help me with my writing practice :D 
Even though the text is in Japanese is still worth buying.

### 5/5 — 3歳の娘に...

*2012-01-12*

3歳の娘暇つぶしにいれてみました。iPhoneですが、小さい子供の指にピッタリで、一生懸命練習しています（＾∇＾）ひらがなもだいぶ読めるいうになり、自分の名前も書けるようになりました。

### 5/5 — 息子が三歳の時から使っています。

*2011-10-21*

こどもにも使いやすく
鉛筆がまだ上手に使えなくても
楽しく書き順を覚えることができました。
新幹線の中で集中して遊んでいたので助かりました。

### 4/5 — おもしろく練習できます！

*2011-08-18*

こんなアプリ探してました〜！
大人ですが、字がきたないので、治すのに勉強しようと思ってダウンロードしました。

ただいざ白紙に書こうとすると、なぞったときようにはなかなかうまく行かないようなので、
縦横2マスずつのグリッドのような線を表示する機能があると、さらにうれしいでーすっ

今後の進展も楽しみにしてます！

### 4/5 — お気に入り

*2011-04-20*

ひらがなとカタカナと両方購入しています。5才になる息子もよく楽しみながらお勉強しています。
かなりのお気に入りアプリではあるのですが、ちょっと要望が。。。

なぞる土台となる、あらかじめ表示される薄い文字なのですが、書く順ごとに色が変えてあります。だんだんと慣れてくるとこの色の違いで順番を判断して書くようになってしまいました。
オプションで、土台の文字の色を一色に選べるようにして頂けると、もっときちんと覚えられて良いと思います。

また、アルファベットも作って頂けたら絶対に購入しますので是非よろしくお願いします〜！
