### 3/5 — Little good

*2025-11-19*

Why there is no number ( who is the owner of this game )?

### 1/5 — Lower case ‘a’ is unfortunately not the one taught in school

*2021-02-28, version 1.4*

Unfortunately the letters are at angle and the ‘a’ is not the font taught in school.

### 4/5 — App crashes on iOS 13

*2019-10-01, version 1.4*

I tried running it on iOS 13 and it crashed,
When I open it the screen is black and in a few seconds the app crashes! It can instantly crash too.

### 5/5 — Apps for OT

*2017-03-13, version 1.2*

This is lovely to use with kids who are avoiding writing.  They can make a word by dragging the letters up, practice their spelling without getting stressed, and also make a sentence. You can take a screen shot.  Gives them some confidence for then moving on to writing words.
Very simple and easy to use, doesn't need much finger control.

### 2/5 — Not the best app for letters

*2015-04-17*

The font is very difficult to read. It would be a lot better if it wasn't shaded, like some sort of word art.

### 2/5 — Skip it

*2012-01-09*

The letters are too close together on the bottom of the screen and arranged in a skewed manner. This makes it hard for kids to be accurate. Would be better if it had text to speech capabilities.
