I have found it helpful because it has taught me to write pretty good cursive. Although the app is good, there is one key flaw. Whenever I try to finish writing something it glitches or whenever I try to do an i or a j it glitches as well which makes the writing look ugly or weird at that part. I really like this app and will continue using it, but this app would be 5 stars for me and my friends if the apps developers solved these glitches/issues. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great best for children 👍🐶 *2023-03-05* Love the colors and letters colors super good love it so much!great love it so much GREAT FOR CHILDREN THAT DON,T KNOW CERSAVE ### 5/5 — 5 star because… *2022-10-09* It helps kids learn and grow. ### 4/5 — Great! But.. *2021-07-10, version 2.2.1* This app functions beautifully. However, there’s two things I think would be beneficial. 1: A better feedback system. Perhaps a ‘mode’ that only lets you progress if you’ve done well? Like a hard mode, or something. 2 (important) : A mute button. I understand the narrator, but I wish there was a settings function that allowed me to mute the audio, so I could play Spotify over it. If you would please consider these, I would be greatful. Sincerely, Sebastian of The Star System (OSDD) ### 2/5 — I hate this game!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡 *2021-03-31* The game is not fun and exciting instead it’s dumb and boring🤬🤬🤬🤬❄️🤬❄️🤬😡 ### 1/5 — IT IS THE WORST *2021-02-02* It thinks that I don’t know how to write cursive I got it to practice not learn ### 5/5 — Amazed *2021-01-22, version 2.2.1* Best app ever ### 4/5 — Phonics are a little off *2020-09-03* This app is great! However, the phonics are slightly off and they don’t give examples for the blends. ## Frequently asked questions about Montessorium ### What does Montessorium: Intro to Cursive teach?
