### 1/5 — Unable to access after update

*2024-05-14, version 3.0.3*

I purchased this app several years ago under an email that I no longer have access to. I tried to update my email and was told I’d have to buy this app again. I have almost all of the print curriculum and have been a customer for years. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Hangs a lot

*2024-03-29, version 3.0.3*

Keeps hanging up every few minutes

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-11-17, version 3.0.3*

I wish this app worked! It would be so great to give the ipad to my daughter with it on guided access and let her work on letters. I don’t even mind that the app is super picky about being perfectly exact though that could be improved. Unfortunately, every time I want to use the app I have to call handwriting without tears to get access. It won’t ever bring up the letters or it says we haven’t paid.

### 3/5 — Needs to have more letters and needs a restore purchase button

*2023-09-15, version 3.0.3*

It’s good and all but i don’t like that you have to pay $6:00 for all of it & the lite version has only 7 letters. I had a purchase before but there’s no Restore Purchase button so it’s hard for me.

### 2/5 — Can’t Create Account

*2022-10-22, version 3.0.3*

I’ve been trying to create an account for 15 minutes. Every time I enter my credentials, it says “something went wrong” but doesn’t specify what the issue is. How is anyone supposed to use this app?

### 1/5 — This App Freezes So Much!

*2022-07-17, version 3.0.3*

This App is like ice age it freezes every 2 seconds do Not Recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2022-05-18, version 3.0.3*

The app was great at first. Now we can’t even use it. It just is stuck “loading.” Terrible because we paid for it😞

### 3/5 — Just okay

*2022-03-24, version 3.0.3*

App does have to be closed out and relaunched multiple times if you are going to practice more than one letter. It is unfortunate the app is so unstable because I love their curriculum. My suggestion would be to find a different app to practice handwriting. You will get frustrated with this one. I’m going to tough it out probably since I paid for it. Hopefully the developers will eventually release an update.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-01-09, version 3.0.3*

No Sound despite changing audio settings

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2021-12-02, version 3.0.3*

I’ve had this app for awhile now and it used to work great, now it won’t load at all. Very frustrated!
