Cursive handwriting is a faster, free flowing form of writing dating back to the initial history of our written language. It has been proven that those who learn to write by hand learn better Experiments where children have ...
The smarty bug doesnt consistently trace with the fingers movement It loses contact or requires finger repositioning before during the stroke process The app design is great Just needs to be a smoother tracing process           A little glitchy
This app has all the components needed for the classroom instructor clean clear engaging screens with no distraction It offers positive reinforcement after each correct cursive letter it has arrows as needed for the user to follow and small simple games after the letter z for the user to play quietly in the classroom If a user wants to practice at home there is the option to add background music while practicing email or print                 Classroom Cursive
My 7 year old needs to practice her cursive and her issues are with connecting the letters to form a word After trying three or four apps this is the first one that practices words and correctly connecting the letters Great job                 Cursive practice
The one good thing is that it reminded me how the cursive letters were formed since I had forgotten But as for teaching my 3rd grader cursive Terrible You have to drag the smarty bug through the letter shape at which point you are told good job But there is no control or awareness over which direction the stroke goes As long as the bug stops at the end point its considered a good job So fill in a certain percentage of the shape and go straight to the end It doesnt actually teach anything Whats worse is that the bug wont recognize a tap until 23 touches and then it starts moving Sometimes it wont recognize that youve reached the end until you wiggle the bug into the invisible end target Or sometimes like on the S the bug brushes past the end point just as you start the movement and then you hear good job The games are a travesty and the occasional debugging alert doesnt help at all My child was actually quite upset that I had wasted money on this thing     Very sloppily made
This is the second app from this developer I bought over a weekend and am so impressed My 7 year old is about to start learning CURSIVE when school starts back up so this is a perfect start and they made it fun She even practiced her name and sent to her dad who is overseasfor him to see her new skill                 Beautifully done
There are several things I like but that seem to be not quite fully thought out For example you can choose from a variety of colors but once you select a new color the writing changes to the new color I was hoping to allow rainbow writing Another plus is the email feature but you can only send one small line of handwriting it would be great if you could send that sessions worth of handwriting or atleast a full page of practice letters or words to a teachers or parents email instead of just one line I also appreciate the practice screen where you can trace along the line with Smarty but feel like it is too finicky it is hard to get right I would love difficulty settings here so as to not frustrate some users I like the erase the whole screen erases but would prefer a back button also so you dont have to choose to start all over for one minor error I like that there are options for upper case lower case sight words and openended practice but I would love if the sight word or letter would remain as an example at the top while the student copied it on a separate line below either independently or with the option to trace over guidance lines I really like the clean interface and hope more options like this will be added to make this app more functional        Needs more options but a nice clean interface
This seems like a terrific app but after 11 tries I still have not been able to download it     Discouraged
DONT WASTE YOUR There is NO sound which kids are big on and I felt was huge Other programs I have cheer for them This blinked in different colors but it doesnt even show the words like good job to tell them the flashing colors are positive It is ok for practice only It does not teach Having a couple arrows to show the direction is not teaching It assumes the child remembers how to make the letter prefectly bases on this arrows but thats not necessarily true When erasing it erases the whole thing not just the last stroke which can be very frustrating to a child who struggled through the first 34 letters to mess up at the last tail and have to restart especially when its glitchy and not always the childs fault Theres also a problem with the practice section It shows a whole sentence for a child to write and even email but it only gives one line with huge guidelines to write it I couldnt make it fit myself You would think when you came to the end of the line it would move the writing over or open a new line but it doesnt It just wont let you continue The bug is cute but sticky Or glitchy he doesnt always activate and you have to push him over and over to get it to start to work and then it sometimes drops Save your For me this was a waste     So sad
