Children do not like writing the same thing over and over. I wish I could delete that feature. Other than that it is perfect. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-08-01, version 5.0.1* I’ve been using this app for 2 kids now. Great to add sight words and learning to write his name along with the numbers & letters. Worth the purchase. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2023-07-06, version 5.0.1* Very good app, recommended to us by a montessori nursery.

(Plus, add the International Phonetic Alphabet) ### 5/5 — I’m happy that my sister is happy but she doesn’t want to have to *2022-03-08, version 4.8.1* To deal with the stars will you remove this ### 5/5 — Good *2021-09-06, version 4.6* Very helpful ### 5/5 — A must Have!!!! *2021-08-18, version 4.5* I highly recommend this app, my son is 4 years old and has autism. Thanks to this writing wizard app my son can say and spell 30 words all learnt Within a time frame of 4 days. I highly highly recommend download and purchase ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-06-21, version 4.5* My son is basically teaching himself to read with this app. He is on spectrum and considered non verbal but this app is acting almost like an AAC for us! Thank you so much for this app—I wish there was a free page though where we could almost use it like a blank piece of paper-he uses a cheap etcha sketch sorta thing but if it were built up in that would be amazing. I would love to help with this I absolutely love this app!!! I am not one to rave about anything and I am thrilled! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2021-05-18, version 4.5* because I love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No family sharing *2022-06-04, version 4.8.1* Says ### 1/5 — Doesn’t support Apple Pencil *2021-05-04, version 4.2* People don’t write with their fingers! I can’t believe this app doesn’t support Apple Pencil.It would be near perfect if it did. Shame. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2020-01-12, version 3.8* It asks me to answer a question but wont let me in to the parents section. Extremely frustrating and a waste of money. ### 1/5 — It ok *2019-03-19, version 3.7.2* It lags ### 1/5 — So frustrating for my five yr old and even myself! *2017-11-09, version 3.5.1* Most ridiculous app! Even on the easy setting no one can apparently write an A. It stops part way and can not get it to finish tracing no matter what settings it is on. I wasted an hour of my day, 4.99, and have to look for another app. ### 1/5 — Schlechte App!! *2015-05-17* Die Buchstaben z. B. J, I und die Zahlen 7, 9 sind falsch vorgegeben. Das Kund würde die Buchstaben und Zahlen falsch lernen. Mein Rat: Finger weg. ### 2/5 — Boring and hard *2024-06-18, version 5.1.2* Don’t get me wrong the game is fantastic,but you need to be just careful enough to write the letters and it’s really hard.Also about the boring part, I think you should put a little fantasy world where you have to trace the letters to level up and survive. ### 2/5 — Acceptable *2020-08-29, version 4.0* Does what’s needed but if you want to quit the app you’ll need to restart your phone. No a good experience. I expected more from this. ### 2/5 — Incorrect teaching *2014-10-13, version 2.0* It teaches children how to form the letter b incorrectly. Appalling... Trying to figure out how to refund. ### 2/5 — Blank Screen! *2014-09-27, version 2.0* I updated the app. Now when you tap onto the shape tracing all you get is a blank screen. What on earth!! Fix it please. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My 2028 Request *2026-08-24, version 5.3* Request: Can you please add more fonts to the collection and add symbols (such as: ! " # $ % & ( ) * + , . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ { | } ~). ### 5/5 — I love You P256Q!!! *2026-06-12, version 5.3* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — S’est très cool *2026-03-15, version 5.3* Cool pour école ### 5/5 — Jaycek *2025-11-26, version 5.3* u v w x y S ### 5/5 — Educational Therapist rates this the most recommended app! *2025-08-23, version 5.1.2* Number #1 app for fine motor, sensory, writing, reading through spelling! ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-06-09, version 5.1.2* My son loves it ### 5/5 — kaely *2024-07-09, version 5.1.2* kaely ### 5/5 — My Family In KB 2013-2014 *2024-04-20, version 5.1.1* KB Kam Brother Kyra Sister Nicolas Baby Kristy Mommy SJ Daddy Grandma Grandpa ### 5/5 — UwU *2024-03-24, version 5.0.7* UwU UwU UwU ### 5/5 — Writing Wizard Review *2024-03-14, version 5.0.7* Writing Wizard is very good and all that, but it is too customizable and is very complex to be able to suit my needs. I am very happy with it but I can’t figure out what to do and/or turn on/off to suit my needs so it is overall very good, but with that one problem, isn’t perfect- as expected with many things. But the writing is also very satisfying, and with that said is a great app to have, and I would highly recommend it to others. I only tried it to improve my handwriting but might also do Writing Wizard just because of its fun and for the sake of fun as well as handwriting improvements.
