Great App!
Reynard95i
Perfect practice makes perfect! This app allows some "wiggle room" while forming letters however if you go too much off course it will make you start that particular line or curve over again. After 3 consecutive mistakes, the app will show you how to perform the task again. Having taught k-5 ( gen. ed. and sp. ed.) I can confidently say many children rush through tasks without truly THINKING about what they are doing. This app won't let you do that. I highly suggest sitting down with the child and assisting as needed (hand over hand, etc) until they are comfortable with the methods. I also don't feel this should be used for long periods of time if a child is struggling. A few assisted minutes here and there will suffice and progress will be seen.
Too sensitive
Emmajfs
This app really needs a variable sensitivity setting because the expectation is so high as to be almost unobtainable. I'm not advocating for sloppy handwriting but there is no room for even the slightest error on this app. This a shame because, far from encouraging my daughter to keep practicing, it actively discourages her and makes writing a chore. I would be great if the sensitivity could be adjusted based on the child's fine motor abilities.
Horrible
Dryan220
This is horrible! There is no room for error. My son cries every time he tries to use it. There are other handwriting apps out there that are so much better! It isn't even worth the one star I had to give it!
Wet Dry Try....it's the BEST!!!

Great educational app for parents, teachers and specialists. Love that I can see the students progress and errors so I modify instruction and remediation activities.
No reset
PrivateReview
There is no option to reset student levels in the updated app. When you go thru the student reset option, the app asks whether you want to proceed with the reset or cancel, but continuing with the reset fails to wipe the student user data.
Not Working Lately

As a former teacher and current homeschool mom, I'm a big fan of HWT. This app has really helped my daughter improve her handwriting. It's been a great asset to have the app "correct" her, rather than just hearing mom nap. I would give it five stars, but it hasn't been working well lately and lost our record of which letters we have reviewed.
If it worked...
Cat.mom
It would be a great app that really focuses on correct formation of letters if it worked. It locks up after each letter and loses all record of which letters have been practiced. I would just chalk it up to free app bugs and uninstall it, but it wasn't free. If HWT doesn't fix it fast, I'll be demanding a refund. My only other gripe is there is only support for one student. The description says "one or two students" but if you want two students, they want more money.
Won't let me add a student
Mama of One
Even if I wanted to pay the extra $4 to add a student, it is broken and will not allow the purchase to go through. Sad, hwt. Please update or remove from the App Store.
Hasn't worked since upgrade

I keep trying to get it to work since the most recent upgrade, but have been unsuccessful, and support let me down.
Disappointed

Has not worked sense the software update. Have tried emailing and calling to resolve the issue with no luck. Loved the app when it worked.
