And it tells you what you want to learn and you can pick more than one. The reason I put four stars is because you have to pay 29.99 dollars to get a life time access. It would be great if you only payed for premium, I know it’s not such a thing lol but I was just saying. But you should download it if you want to pay. ### 3/5 — Why *2026-06-27, version 4.5.0* Why does it cause money if people downloaded the app they obviously wanna learn how to write not learn to pay to learn how to write ### 5/5 — Where is the customer support ? *2026-06-13, version 2.8.3* I paid 39.99 for lifetime but only see a,b,c,d sample for cursive. Where can I find support to help me with this issue ? ### 3/5 — It is not what I expected… *2026-06-12, version 4.4.1* I like the app, but every time I write it says “ok” or “good. I thought this was practice…not getting criticized. Anyway, I do like that you can choose different writing and practice it..kind of. The letters were too small to write on, and it kept telling me “try again,” every time I touched it. All in all it isn’t the best app to practice cursive. ### 5/5 — Sooooo goooooooood *2026-06-10* It tells you if you did it perfectly or like bad but there was let you try again it’s quite for starters and I honestly love the game, but if there was a flaw, I was saying all the extra work like paying putting your email all that stuff if there was no paying just put a name and you’re all set I think that would be a good one too, but I like that it gives you an option to pick what you wanna learn and like guide you through it’s like I’m in kindergarten again👌🏽😉 **Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your feedback! Logging in with email is only for saving your progress and isn’t necessary. We really appreciate your support! ### 2/5 — Can not write in different languages *2026-06-08, version 4.4.1* I cannot write in Korean and Chinese and cannot update the app ### 3/5 — well designed but falsely advertised *2026-06-05, version 4.4.1* there is no left hand option despite it being advertised in multiple places ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Capital G *2026-08-04, version 4.5.1* I enjoyed this app very much. I am frustrated on the Capital G, no matter how many times I have tried it just doesn’t advance . ### 1/5 — Not Shareable *2026-08-01, version 4.5.1* I am so tired of apps saying they work on Family sharing on Apple products, and it’s untrue. As an adult, I now have Writey Cursive Handwriting on my iPad for absolutely no reason, while my child has no handwriting support on their device. It seems to be a great product, but I’ll never know, as my son will never have access to it unless I buy another subscription. Ridiculous! Maybe I’ll teach him to right R-I-P O-F-F on my own. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-31, version 4.5.1* The ai is so picky and confusing but ig it’s not horrible this is just my opinion ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-31, version 4.5.1* Doesn’t function and constantly shuts down. A waste of time , cancelled my subscription. ### 1/5 — *not great* *2026-07-27, version 4.5.1* It sucks. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-07-16, version 4.5.1* Way too expensive! ### 1/5 — Almost instantly out of hearts *2026-07-07, version 4.5.0* Despite subscribing it limits use to a few minutes. The developer explains that this is essentially because, even when you pay full price they count your errors and block you fora day or until you earn enough coins. Then you need to restore purchases and and quit and restart ### 1/5 — Even when you pay they block you *2026-07-07* If you spend any significant time you get blocked for a day. The developer explains that after I make 50 mistakes (they take a heart for each error) then I get blocked from using the app until the next day. Why on earth would they prevent me from practicing when and as much as I have time for in a day, despite paying? Aparently I earned coins somehow which can add hearts, but it was unclear how that worked. The developer also says I might have to choose “restore purchases” because hearts may not automatically be given. This also requires closing and restarting the app. I would understand if I were using it for free that they make game style points system happen, but I had subscribed at full price. ### 1/5 — Almost instantly out of hearts *2026-06-30, version 4.5.0* Despite subscribing it limits use to a few minutes ### 1/5 — Cost money *2026-06-16, version 4.4.1* Of course it cost money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great I got it *2026-08-16, version 4.5.1* My handwriting suffered after numerous years and bouts of cancer. I was hoping this would help with fine motor control and improve my handwriting. It did. ### 5/5 — Writy *2026-07-31, version 4.5.1* Writey is a great app for writing and cursive you should definitely download it five stars ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-07-31, version 4.5.1* Thanks for you😃 ### 5/5 — I really like this app! *2026-07-22, version 4.5.1* I LOVE WRITELY! It is very easy to work with but PLEASE could you add Russian to the variety of languages 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great, but needs Dark Mode *2026-07-18, version 4.5.1* It’s absolutely great for learning different styles of cursive writing. But, I think it needs a dark mode feature. Adding a dark mode feature would help writers and students practice at night or in dark environments. ### 5/5 — You should really download the app! *2026-07-11, version 4.5.0* The app is really educational and it helps you learn how to write better you should totally get it! it’s so cool and it teaches you not just cursive it teaches you how to write neat and fancy you should totally get it! And it’s free and haves no ads you don’t even have to pay for it so you should totally totally get it! ### 5/5 — Help alot *2026-07-10, version 4.5.0* This appl help me a lot ### 5/5 — Bugs everywhere *2026-07-06, version 4.5.0* Fix the bugs ### 5/5 — Very good app! *2026-06-28, version 4.5.0* Very convenient app for practicing writing on tablet! Devs are super responsive also! 10/10 ### 5/5 — So fun *2026-06-21, version 4.4.1* It’s so fine it helped me a lot --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
