User reviews

I want my money back please...

I tested it for a bit, and decided to spend the $3 for the rest of the alphabet. I was also excited about the sight words. Surprise, there were only ten of them. Meh.
Also, the trace function did not work on all of the letters.

Slow

If you have a patient learner this will do well. My boy goes 90 mph all the time and won't wait for Ollie to show him how to do the letters first. I was really hoping that he would like it. As a lefty he is going to need more handwriting practice than others.

Love it!

My students love this app! AND it has helped them on their handwriting skills and phonics sounds. I love that they can use it independently and are showing progress in their skills! A must for parents and teachers of elementary and preschool kiddos!

Could be great but ...

I was impressed when I first tried it. Word sound and letter name and beautiful handwriting demo. Tried to write the letter d , but it did not let me draw full letter . When this bug is fixed , then I could use app

Great app

My twin granddaughters (3 1/2) really enjoy this app. They love the owl and cheer sounds. They are learning to write letters in a very fun way. I taught kindergarten and give this app high marks for both content and creativity!
