### 3/5 — Good app for beginner tracing

*2013-09-09*

As an OT I have used this app with children from 2-5 years old.  This app is good for beginner tracing but you don't have to stay even remotely close to the lines to get the app to draw the line you are tracing.  Most standards are that a child must stay within 1/4 inch do the line to be successful at tracing.  A good update might be to allow settings where you can change how far away from the line the child can trace before it creates the line (1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, etc.). 

Children are motivated to see what the shapes will become and how they will move which is important but the settings need to be stricter as to how far away from the line the children need to trace.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2012-07-27*

Keeps my toddler entertained thanks to the various interactive elements in this app. As he's two he uses the bucket feature to fill shapes with color but once he's older the tracing element will be great for developing motor skills.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

This gets the Martha seal of approval.... My two year old daughters favourite game. Brilliant for young children, but with a sense of design and attention that keeps the adults captivated. Just brilliant!
