Touch and Write

I had low expectations because of the lack of and age of reviews, but I’m glad I tried it. This app is fantastic, I love that I can easily add custom lists. My son loves to play it, all the writing tools to choose from is fun. It also guides to make sure the letters are being written properly, it will stop and have you start over. Must-have for anyone with young kids learning to write.

I love this app & the cursive one! I am an OT & use these apps all the time with my kids. The app is very engaging & multi-sensory. I really like the fact that you can add your own word list & customize it. The only thing I would change is that I wish the lines on the dotted lined background would be colored accordingly; the top line-green, dotted line-blue & the bottom line- red. The kids LoVe it!

My child's occupational therapist recommended this app, and it has proven to be effective. Kids think it is fun. But I believe after I installed iOS 7, the sound no longer works; the cute music no longer plays, or we are unable to hear it. I have another iPad and it does play on that iPad but strangely enough I loaded iOS 7 on that iPad too.

I have most of the handwriting apps out there as I work as an ot. This is far and away the most engaging and motivating one. My students ask to use it. Perfect for getting the ready for paper and pencil tasks especially when I use a mini stylus with it

I love this app and I love the features of adding words&numbers, When I added numbers and words it was only spelling out, but it was not saying the word so I emailed to the developer and ask him to add an option where we can also hear the word of the list we created and also asked him if we can add numbers 1-50 instead of 1-10. The fizz brain genius responded to my request and promise to work on it in summer,and he did it. In this new update not only that we can add 1-100 numbers but also we can add words and after writing we can hear the word we wrote. And one more feature added the letter sound we have the option to turn on the letter sound or turn it off if we want. Thank you for making education fun and easy by making this app. No doubt they listen and take seriously our feed back , thank you for this great update.

I love this app and am amazed how motivating this app is for students who do not enjoy learning to write letters! Children who typically do not demonstrate good motor control, will work slowly and carefully to trace the letters accurately. Using a stylus allows for working on grasp patterns for pencils and other writing utensils. The ability to create individualized word/letter families makes its use more efficient and tailored to a student's needs. The music is a little wearing, so having the ability to turn it off is a good thing, especially for students who are easily distracted or have a low tolerance for sounds. Love the paper backgrounds, whipped cream, sound effects, and the method of correcting errors in stroke sequence. I could go on and on listing all the benefits! As a school-based OT, this app has made my therapy sessions much more fun and very beneficial. Thanks for this great learning and teaching tool!!

I agree that this app is great. But I also wish it included phonetic sounds. My struggling kindergarteners use this to practice writing but hearing "a /a/" would be even more helpful. I also wish there was a setting option to have the cupcake monster show up less frequently - like at the end of the alphabet instead of after every letter - to maximize learning time. Thank you!

Love everything about this except that it doesn't give you a page with all the letters presented to choose one from, you have to go through the ABC sequence or else make your own letter list, which takes extra time. Also wish the monster cues were always in the same color for consistency.

Please add the letter sounds. Really love this app.

I have both this app and their cursive. As a school OT I love this app. My students spend the time practicing their handwriting. My students love the monsters, cupcakes and the balloons. I can use pencil grips on a stylus pen or their finger. Practicing makes perfect. I recommend this app for students who need extra help in forming their letters.
