### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-03-13*

My kids love the bubble pop mode

### 5/5 — Bubble popping fun!

*2026-03-08*

Great way to make tracing letters fun for kids, love it!

### 5/5 — Best Tracing App

*2016-09-27*

It's great & simple to use. Nice emoji animations!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-05-20*

Useless and boring, good for nothing, don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2016-05-10*

Should say sound the letter makes.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2016-02-12*

Daughter loves it. Made a huge improvement in her printing and letter recognition.

### 3/5 — Can't open

*2016-02-09*

Can't open or delete app. Has said "Installing" since download 3 days ago :(

### 1/5 — Not for developing accurate motor memory

*2016-02-08*

Oh my! And that isn't a good "Oh my!"
This app was obviously NOT designed by a handwriting specialist! It doesn't support Handwriting Without Tears, Zaner-Bloser, or D'Nealian writing curriculum. Not real sure what letter formation it attempts to support. The formation on this app is dis-jointed and confusing to say the least. I am a COTA/L in a school system. Don't waste your money or your time on this APP.😒

### 5/5 — Simple...

*2016-02-05*

This app does a great job at helping child learning to print. And the app looks just like the paper kids learn on too! Some letters are written differently in proportions. This is the way many children learn with Handwriting Without Tears program...long & short lines and large & small curves. The retracing (up) of a line is not taught either! Great job!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-10-15*
