This tracing app is impressive in the sense it give you customization that other tracing apps do not; however, it is just a tracing app. I must say I received this app for free (with limitation to use capitol, lower case letters, and one group of words). I was informed the regular price would be $4.99. That price is too high for just this one app. I would never recommend or buy this app with $4.99 as its price tag.I would recommend THUP games for that kind of price. There is more of an incentive for kids to complete the tracing or building of words. THUP apps treat learning as a game...making it fun to "work/learn."The true test was handing this to my four year old son. He traced letters for about five minutes and quickly became bored. All in all, I would rate this app well if my son had more interest in learning (as many kids do), and also if the suggested price was less than $2.00.The game run fluidlyAllows for parent customizationAllows parents to track progress Gives digital sticker rewards

for the most part I don't like the shapes they're teaching the kids for writing numbers like a one and a 9. The one can be easily mistaken for a seven. I'd rather see just the line from top to bottom making a one way most people write it. I don't want the nine to look like a g. I prefer the traditional line with the sort of half circle and the stick going straight down. It seems like this app's fonts are following type-written fonts rather than typical written numbers. There are so many nice things about this app and they have been covered in many of the other reviews. I want to like this app; perhaps just add one font that would be more like we typically teach children to write their numbers, and that will do it for me.

It's almost perfect. Perhaps in a more advanced version, the words module could have the entire word written on the same screen instead of just at the end in a miniature version. Additionally, some of the numbers like 1, 4, and 9 are a more advanced writing style than what an emerging writer would use. There is the option to change the location of the dots, but I wasn't able to ascertain how to change the tracing shape. Overall, for an inexpensive app, it's well designed. Maybe a few tweaks would make it perfect.

I started using this with a few autistic 4-5 year olds and they are engaged and successful. It is very helpful to have audio with this. I realize that the app is training students so the letters stop mid way with directions but I prefer they just write it without stopping which is why I put 4 stars vs 5. It's truly a great app, it is just my personal preference to write a letter smoothly because some of these boys and girls will continue to stop half way in a letter when writing. Our goal is for fluid, legible letters. This will help!
