Love the idea of this !

I love the idea of this just what I was looking for ... but the capital I only shows a white square box. I know it’s a clutch fix that and I’ll give it 5 stars!!
Finally!

Finally an app that my preschooler can use to trace and learn his OWN name! We love this. My first grader is using it to study her weekly spelling words too! Well done!
Great! Please read this Jonathan Mulcahy!

I'm very happy with this new app specially because it uses the D'Nealian handwriting which is used on my kids school. It's simple and stylish! Thank you! I would like to see a minor improvement for writing the letter i, you can't place a dot, it has to be a little line for it to appear. As an add on it would be nice to be able to use an eraser, instead of x-out the whole word. It would also be nice and practical, if you could practice the five names/words at the same time, instead of opening them separately every time. It's time consuming to have to wait for it to load every separate word, and kids get easily distracted at that time. Overall I'm very pleased with this app, and I hope the creator Jonathan Mulcahy will look into the things I just mentioned, because I truly believe it could be even a better app! And that would make lots of parents of lower grade elementary kids very happy, I believe! Plus now a days there are more and more schools that use iPads in the classroom, and they might even like to use it too! Thank you so much!!
Too small

Bought for my preschool aged son, the letters are way to small, for a new writer.
Ok app

Letters should be a little bigger. If a child is learning to write their name, odds are they are learning to write. Other than that I think this app is a great concept in much need of some improvements. I would also like if app had an assistance option to learn right way to write a letter.
Not good for toddlers

I bought this app to teach my kid how to write and it is not helping. The letters are too small and you cannot zoom in to make them bigger so that she can see the dots to trace. The arrows confuse her and are really not necessary. She gets bored and frustrated very quickly and wants to quit. There are no colors besides green.The maker of this app probably has no kids. Don't waste your time.
Lower y not working

Cannot trace tail of lower y to the end of it. Please fix. Great app besides this.
Has potential...

Needs improvement, my daughter likes to see her name. She has a hard time tracing it, the letters are small. The app allows you to draw all over the place. The app needs structure and better execution! Email the app designer with ideas, they usually respond to emails.
App has bugs in it that stop from tracing some letters
Mhooks
The app has some bugs. It won't allow the tracing of the last 2 letters on my sons 8 letter first name. Please fix.
