Good

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the fact that the first thing that came to mind was the fact the first thing you said was you had a good time with me I don’t care about your birthday but if you’re happy to be here and you can always go out to eat and I don’t want you know what you need to do that is that you have to do it and you don’t need it to be a good day I just don’t want it in your life and I’m sorry I know I can’t be there

I don’t like the latest update that came out in the past!!👎👎👎

I don’t know what you just did for the latest update but it is not cool!😡 So the first issue is when I am writing a letter and then stop, something randomly makes it get complete. When I write again, then it’s finished already! Don’t like that at all!! The next issue is the music! Oh no! Not cool either! Alright, what’s wrong with the music? Well, the issue is that there is no sound and I can’t be able to hear so there no way you’ll listen to it, because I can’t find the audio to turn it back up so I can hear it again. That WOULD be great, but the update is awful!😖😭😣😢☹️🥺🙁😩😕😫 I love this so much. Well for now I’m deleting it anyway!
I HATE THE UPDATE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d like to recommend this

I wish I could recommend this but the trace the letter portion is completely broken and buggy. It often doesn’t work and requires restarting the game. I hope they take the time to update this.

Trash

Garbage😡

Hint

I really love this app but recently the hint button appears to be broken. I’m having a student of mine practice only tracing the letters and I had turned off the hint option. But for some weird reason, the hints would continue to come on every few seconds. It got to the point where he can’t do anything because the hinting arrows would prevent him from tracing.
