It's ok...

It looks nice and all, but for the price you expect more. Also in letter pairs, clicking on "er" brings up "or", "or" brings up "th" and "th" brings up "er". :S
Pretty, but

Nicely designed, just wish the small letters were not printed, but rather handwritten style. There is not much point in tracing prints
Kids can go in the wrong direction!

Kids can trace letters in the wrong direction! Don't buy this app.
Only one flaw
Sweet Garden
Just purchased the app. It offers a lot for students at this level. The only flaw I caught from a motor development stand point is that not all the upper case letters are taught starting from the top (A, M and N for example ). Writing is more efficient when there is consistency in the starting place. If this were fixed, I would probably give it five stars in a future review.
There are better apps available
An Example of What?
I am not one to leave feedback, but this app is horrible and expensive. The montessori crossword, spelling with phonics is much better. This app is boring. I purchased it mainly for the voice over feature but I can't get it to work. Bottle line don't waste your money. Abc phonics animated app has a better writing tutorial.
So close...

This app would be perfect- it's beautifully designed, great concept, etc. except that it has one fatal flaw. It forces the user to keep going with a stroke until a bell rings. However, if you don't keep pushing your stroke past the end of the guide, you don't get the bell and you can't move on to finish the letter. And when you're in that position, with the stroke done, but not pushed past the end so you get the bell, you're stuck. It takes me several tries to trigger it. Hence my kids simply can't use the app on their own, even though they do well with drawing the letters. Frustrating. Ugh.
Leave it to Montessori
PhonicsCanDo
This is one very terrific program to aid a child to learn Phonics. The child hears the sound as he/she follows with their finger. So that involves 3 of the senses: Seeing the letter, hearing it's sound, and following the letter with their finger gets motor skills involved. The more involved, the greater chance the youngster will remember the sound made by the letter. It's a great program for teaching Phonics.
Pretty great app

I think for the most part this is app does a great job. I especially love the option of recording my own voice to do the instructing. I gave 4 out of 5 stars only because I wish there was an an option in the settings for left handed kids. My child tends to want to trace in the opposite direction of what a right handed person would naturally want to trace.
Horrible app

This app is impossible for my three year old son to use properly and I wish I could get my money back. I am very disappointed. I would think for the 5 dollars it would have been a quality app. Clearly I was wrong.
