Write On is the only writing app that lets your child practice their name, follow proper strokes for both Block and Script letters, has multiple lines so they can see their progress, sounds in both American and UK English, letter sounds, phonetic sounds, animated letter strokes, cute animal images, write in multiple colors, erase last stroke, and more.
The ABC Alphabet Song at the home page is worth the price of the app, it is a lot of fun, and your child will be playing it and singing along for hours. Write On can help your child to write the right way. Kids must learn to write using the proper strokes.
Write On improves over all of the writing apps by allowing your child plenty of space to practice either with the finger, or with a stylus that works with the ipad. No more wasting paper or buying expensive writing books.
Full version includes;
Alphabet Song page, Writing page, Word page, Practice page, and the Easy to Hard Strokes mode.
Alphabet song - Charming song that teaches the alphabet and shows the letters as it sings.

Wish I could rate it higher

I purchased this for my my daughter so she could practice writing her name. Her name is nine letters, but the practice only allows for eight letters max to be input. I wish the developers would have made this known in their description. There is also no means for her to know if her writing is acceptable or illegible. Practice without constructive feedback is a weak form of instruction and is one of the reasons some teachers (and some parents for that matter) are ineffective in K-12 and in post-secondary education. Some of the educational children's apps for the iPad provide intelligently thoughtful feedback. This app gives no feedback at all. Nonetheless, my daughter finds it entertaining, so I believe she will benefit somehow from this app, especially since I am always with her when she is practicing and can give her individualized feedback myself. It's not a poorly designed app, but it's certainly not one I would recommend without reservations. If there were a lite version, parents might better be able to decide if this app would be helpful to their children. I would also recommend having your child use an iPad-safe stylus (especially if your school district is foolishly abandoning the teaching of penmanship in class).
This is a great app!

As a teacher, I love this app! Best feature is being able to create my own words for kids to practice, like their names. The added cursive option is great for older kids. But there is one small error that needs correcting - the cursive practice word "tiger" is misspelled. It has a q instead of a g. Once that's fixed, this app is definitely a 5-star in my opinion!
Cursive words misspelled
Illibrium
Great app for children, great graphics, animations sounds, ease of use and functionality, but the cursive q is often used in place of the cursive g. (alliqator!?). 4 star app if that were fixed. 5-star app if it provided feedback on if letters were written properly.
Great App

Daughter loves this app. Can't get enough of all the different characters and the ability to practice her letters. Loves the abc singalong part of the app.
What happened?
Notdabod
This app used to be so awesome, but now they so badly want us to buy their 75 new animals that they can't even have the animals be animated like they used to be! My kids are very upset by this - please fix this app!!!
Miss the animations

I purchased this app because my kid loves the animations and isn't old enough to write yet ( he is 1). He keeps tapping the animals and nothing happens....please fix it!
Dislik
tctripp
Cute voices and like the graphics. Extremely disappointed by the letter sounds you are teaching. I am going to delete the game because you are teaching incorrect sounds. The very first letter..."a is for antelope uh, a". "a" doesn't say "uh". It is taught in every school room as "a" like the beginning of apple or ant or as in cat. The next one we listened to was z. It doesn't say "zuh". Zuh is what zu says together. Z says "zzzz". Don't teach basic letter sounds incorrectly please.
Great complement to iWrite

I use both of this apps at home and they perfectly complement each other!
