Good app but "easy" is NOT easy – School Writing – Learn to write and more. Review

I am a homeschooler, and I downloaded this app to help reinforce correct letter formation for my kids. And I really like it. I like how easy it is to switch to cursive. I like the flexibility of the whiteboards. However, I have a couple problems. The first, and by far the most important, is that the "easy" setting is far too hard. On the "easy" setting, my 5 year old never gets her letters right, and my 7 year old gets his right only half the time. This is tears-producing frustrating to them. "Easy" should be much, much easier. When kids are just beginning, sloppiness isn't important; correct methodology is. All I care about is whether they start in the right spot, proceed in the right direction, and make the correct number of pencil-strokes for each letter. Wobbly letters should still be correct on the "easy" level. If the developers are unable to fix this problem, I will probably abandon this app for one more suitable for beginners. My second problem is that selecting between profiles is not very intuitive. It would make more sense to have all the profiles displayed on a different screen and selected before seeing the activity list. My third problem is that there appears to be a bug when creating your own custom whiteboard assignment. I think it was as I was adding "pages" to a whiteboard assignment that I attempted to click on a tiny icon that looked like a "settings" type of icon, and this caused the app to crash. This happened every time I clicked that icon. So I overcame my curiosity to know what it did and stayed away from that icon. Thank you.
