A lot of potential - needs a lot of work

First problem noticed is that the lowercase T is not correct - this is relatively minor when we are talking early learning, but still isn’t good. Next issue is HUGE - just like the view of the app preview shows the slides sideways - this isn’t a fluke and is how it is in the app as well. The words and certain times of the larger chalk board coming up are completely sideways and it has no ability to be adjusted. Using on iPad pro

Good app

The sound isn’t working anymore.

The app had sound when tracing but now I cannot get the sound to work. I’ve deleted th app and reinstalled in twice and it’s still not working. Help!

Good App

I like this app but I get irritated when I have to pay to buy half of it.

Good App, Doesn’t transfer between devices

Purchased the app and enjoyed it, but when I tried to open it on another device (same Apple ID) it said I needed to purchase the app again. Customer service was no help and said it currently isn’t made to be used by a single user on multiple devices ( like iPad AND parent’s phone). A bit of a letdown. Also didn’t transfer to new phone. Kind of a sneaky way to get multiple purchases.

Not working

This app does not go beyond letter M . It’s disappointing

Great idea. Needs a tweak

Tested by me, Nanny, I was excited to give my girl to help her, only to find out it stopped at M. Not excited anymore.

Can’t figure out how to make all the letters work.

My daughter is enjoying it but most letters are blocked out and I’ve searched but can’t find a way to fix it.

Confused

My son is learning a lot, but the letters only go up to m. Is there a way to get the rest of the alphabet?

Excellent

This is a fantastic app for my 5yr old & 6 yrnold who are starting to learn their letters and words in school

Correct strike order, includes sound of letters

I looked at every handwriting app there was and finally found Ollie's! I had given up.... I use it in my learning center and recommend it to my parents.

Other apps were incorrect and in consistent with stroke order. I couldn't find any with corresponding letter sounds. I love the see then do.

I have my students use this with a stylus to more approximate pencil and paper writing, and to practice proper pencil grip.

Love it!

Great game

Great for my 4 year old. Different from cartoons.

Happy Mom and Preschooler

Love the app and the directions and options it gives my daughter. She loves it!

Love it

Great for kids

Love it!!!

My 2 year old is loving the letters and practicing tracing:)

So good

so good

Great first step for preschooler!

My son immediately understood how to operate this app (major bonus)! He enjoys watching the example and then using the star to trace his letters. Minor flaw, sometimes the top of the letter is too close to the top and while tracing he ends up resetting it.

What an amazing app!!!

Thank you! I've been looking for exactly this type of app and I finally found it! Can't wait to work with my 4 yr old! :)))

A must for kids!

This app is definitely a must have for those who have kids! The cute design's entertaining!

Great

My daughter loves the little owl- woo hoo!!
