What people are saying:
AppStruck:
"The whole app is delightful to behold. Bright background colors are juxtaposed against equally bright and scribbly child-like artwork that convey the word being spelled. You and your child will enjoy tracing your finger along those necessary building blocks of language. With its memorable artwork and way cool physics engine, it is sure to entertain and teach your child."
A Touch of Learning:
“Its got an intuitive interface for young children. It has high quality graphics and effects. I have no hesitation in recommending this app for children ready to start learning to write. To me, this is exactly the sort of app I am looking for in my quest to have apps that are fun, but teach my kids something really useful in the real world.”

Customer Reviews
Great app!
Both of my kids love this app! As both a teacher and a parent, I would really like for it to show the primary handwriting lines (headline, midline, & baseline), so that it's easier for the kids to make the connection between writing on paper and tracing with their finger on the app. It would also be great to be able to make your own words to write (i.e. Child's name).
Impressed
My 4 year old son has autism so I have more than a couple reasons to love it, but for any child, this app has a great way of teaching. Not only does it show you how to trace the word, but it forces you to go in the right direction and stay with in the lines. Most apps lack this discipline, in turn, not showing our children much.
Great app just got a whole lot better
This app is a primary cause of smudged screen syndrome on my iPad. I use the app teaching English to kids in Japan, including some with autism. They love it and want to "play" all the time. This last update just made the app even better by adding a lot of options, including different handwriting styles. Keep up the good work.
