BEST Customizable writing app

I am an OT and my students are very motivated by this app more than any other tracing app I have found. Love the customizable features that let me create my students names just for them, or practice on just one letter they are struggling with.
p.s. Hope the developer can keep it updated so it keeps working with the latest IOS (v18 as of 2025)

Buggy, therefore useless!

Paid 4.99 for something that clearly hasn’t been tested and also noted in reviews of other Touch and Write apps. No matter how careful one writes, you’re forced to restart. Leniency mode does nothing, can’t finish a single letter.

Fun and very helpful!

I had low expectations because of the lack of and age of reviews, but I’m glad I tried it. This app is fantastic, I love that I can easily add custom lists. My son loves to play it, all the writing tools to choose from is fun. It also guides to make sure the letters are being written properly, it will stop and have you start over. Must-have for anyone with young kids learning to write.

Great app!

I love this app & the cursive one! I am an OT & use these apps all the time with my kids. The app is very engaging & multi-sensory. I really like the fact that you can add your own word list & customize it. The only thing I would change is that I wish the lines on the dotted lined background would be colored accordingly; the top line-green, dotted line-blue & the bottom line- red. The kids LoVe it!

Excellent app but sound doesn't work anymore

My child's occupational therapist recommended this app, and it has proven to be effective. Kids think it is fun. But I believe after I installed iOS 7, the sound no longer works; the cute music no longer plays, or we are unable to hear it. I have another iPad and it does play on that iPad but strangely enough I loaded iOS 7 on that iPad too.
