I love this app. My only issue is each time I click on the word 1 part the words do not match the pictures. You type the right word, but that word is not the word is not the spoken word when you see the picture.

This app exceeded my expectations. After using this only one time with a child who has multiple disabilities, I saw great improvement in his ability to form letters without segmenting them. Not only that, but he smiled, had fun, and experienced success. It was nice to see him so proud of himself.
And can I also brag about the fact that you provide a left hand mode?! That’s actually how I found you; I was looking for ways to support my left-handed learner.
My favorite (and unexpected) feature is the ability to record the sounds myself. I was very excited to be able to record the path of movement for the letters. For capital A, I prompt with, “slant down, slant down, across.” I was delighted that I could record this. But the same recording attached to the lowercase a. I wanted to record, “over, around, up, down” for lower case. Is there any way upper and lowercase letters could have separate recordings? Or if you could provide the path of movement, even better!
Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! You can indeed record different sounds for uppercase and lowercase a. To do that, go to the “My Words” section and make a new word list with the letters. Then, record a sound for each one. If you need any help, you can email us at support@lescapadou.com anytime.
I wasn’t sure what to expect. This app is fantastic for my kindergartener to learn his letters. And also to allow me to add his vocabulary and sight word list! It even has a layer built in the background that parents can access to allow parents to check what they worked on and also how their words looked when they were tracing! The only thing that would be better if there was a way to allow a quiz for the words without the tracing or even how to say them by recording them and having some form of voice recognition. Overall for only 4.99 it was completely worth it and just what I needed!
I love your product. I bought the full version and used it to teach our child how to write abefore 4 years old.
I was hoping to see a way of supporting the apple pen or active stylus in general. Like, I would love to see the ability to disable touch in favor of the pen only. At the moment, my son would just drop the apple pen or stylus in favor of his finger. I currently use other drawing apps that can disable finger touchs but these free-drawing apps are no where near as engaging as your app.
Thank you.
Hi, Thanks for your feedback, that's a great suggestion. We will add it in the next release. Don't hesitate to contact us at support@lescapadou.com if you have more feedback
When a child works in handwriting without tears mode, it is important that the sequence of writing the lower case b be programmed correctly. Right now, it is programmed in the traditional way, with the child drawing the first line down then bouncing straight up before making the belly of the b by going right and down. In HWT, however, the line for the b goes straight down then curves to the right then up and back to the left toward the starting line. This is a hugely important distinction because it helps kids stop confusing the letters b and d. Please fix this ASAP.
Hello, thanks for your detailed feedback - could you please contact us at support@lescapadou.com, we would like to be sure that we understand what you want and let you try a beta version. Thanks
I loved this app so much as a school based COTA. It’s fantastic in helping kids learn their letters and how to write with proper top to bottom formation and I even paid for the full version, but lately it’s getting so laggy when using it. The kids get frustrated because it’s not picking up their pencil strokes until a good 10 seconds after drawing them. I would love to continue using this app but it’s become such a big issue every time.
We have not encountered any problems on our devices. Could you please email us at support@lescapadou.com so we can investigate and resolve your issue? Thank you.
Simple and effective without being overly juvenile. I really appreciate that the developer made it customizable. I can easily change the handwriting style, add or turn off tracing arrows, add word lists of our own, and more. This is helpful when you have multiple children at different stages of handwriting as well. It's one of the best handwriting apps I've seen so far.
My 8 year old son has illegible writing, and needed practiced. I found this app, and so far - has gotten him in the habit of writing between the line of folder paper! Developer is responsive to a question I emailed about too (grateful that he responded!). Will definitely recommend this app to his school and other who also deal with illegible handwriting!
Thanks for your review!
This is a great app! While I’m teaching oldest this is perfect for 20 mins a day tracing for my pre-k beginner. The best part is that it keeps tabs on the progress history and shows in detail how he traced, what time, what letter and it’s fun! I love it because it’s a detailed game for beginners to keep track on what to work on with your child! Love this, highly recommended.
Thanks for your review :-)
My kids love to learn with Ipad and this app is the best app for helping them to learn hand writing, lines has different styles or fonts, it is not boring, easy to use!It’s a must-have app!
