LetterSchool - Block Letters App Reviews

3 year old loves the app! But, would be nice if it would say what the letter is. Also, could be a little lenient about the tracing. She gets a little frustrated after trying a few times. Other than that great for her to practice!

My students and clients love Lettersçhool. When provided with other occupational therapy techniques, I am seeing huge gains for many students.

I have had this app since April 4 of this year and have already seen an improvement in my 3 year old daughters letter writing skills. So wonderful! She loves the game and I love that I can see which letters she had finished! I do have a suggestion though - add the option to write their own name!!

Mission accomplished - kids are learning! and the Tracing feels like PLay - so well done :)

After reading other reviews I purchased this app as it seems to be a fun app for children who are exploring writing. My child is 4 years old and knows how to write his name and simple words. But this app is very restrictive in how to write each letter. Not very child friendly who are learning how to write. This app would be more appropriate for older children 5 and up. But then what’s the point of this app as these children know how to write. If this app is targeted towards younger children 5 and under they need make it easier and not restrict to a certain way how to write a letter! There are more ways in writing letter than just ONE!

This is one of my all-time favorite apps for my students to practice handwriting. It is too bad that the price has been raised so much. This app was $1.99 last year. Now, at $5.99 it is too expensive for me to purchase for my classroom set of ipads. I wish that the price had not gone up so much. What a shame :(

Im a school-based OT. It both cracks me up and horrifies me to see the complaint that this app is restrictive in how it makes children write the letters. THAT IS THE POINT!! I guess it has been so long since children were actually taught that there is a way you are supposed to form letters and not just draw them however you can figure out yourself, that people have forgotten there is any such thing. Anyway, this app is so inherently motivating to many children, that it can get them to really work hard at learning to control their movements and learn to form letters when games, promised rewards, modeling by peers, cheering by adults etc failed. It has some magical draw that makes children keep wanting to work on it. And I love that you can set it to Handwriting Without Tears style letters. I agree about the Left-handers, though. There should be a way you can switch it so that you can form the horizontal lines right-to-left. And I wish it didnt keep it from working properly if you stabilize the side of your hand down on the screen while writing, but that is a complaint I have with every tablet-based visual-motor app.

Not worth $4.99. More like $1.99. Good for children learning to write and fun to look at but its too easy. For the price should have levels once its finish with writing letters and numbers it should encourage to write words. Or maybe asked how many is on the screen and you should be able to write to correct count. Well The free app was worth it. Thats all. Just wish theres more to it.

This app is so simple in use that very young children discover by themselves how to use it without any help. This is definitely my favorite app for young children. They go on and on playing for ages, and their handwriting improves by leaps and bounds.

Crashes after pressing the green arrow. This is unacceptable since we paid for this app! Prior to this problem, my daughter age 5 loved this app and it has improved her handwriting and love of it immensely. Very disappointed, please fix this and I will change my review accordingly.

Was an awesome app but now it keeps crashing. Very frustrating! When its working Id give it a five but obviously I gave it a one because you cant do anything now.

The app crashed on my ipad. Customer support gave me the advice to delete the app from my ipad an install it again. And it worked! My kids can’t stop playing this app! Definitely worth $4,99 and thumbs up for customer support.

What a great app! My youngest kid can’t stop playing this game - especially the lawn mower animation is appreciated! Hope to see more apps of this developer!

I just purchased this app for my toddler; it’s so much fun to see how he enjoys playing with this app. Really well done!!!

I have always loved this app since I got it for my daughter who was 2 at the time. Im pretty sure she learned to write her letter on this game. It has always worked great, but since the update and change of the icon it has been crashing every time my kids turn it on. Theyre disappointed and wed love to have it back. My son is 3 and has learned to form his letters from the app as well. Please fix it!!!

Crashes. Cant swipe to change caps to lowercase to numbers without it crashing.

As a teacher, this is one of my favorite apps to use with kids that are just learning how to form their letters and numbers. Unfortunately, several months ago the app stopped working. As soon as the intro song is finished, the app crashes. Every time. I have updated to the newest iOS, restarted my iPad, tried everything to get the app up and running...and it wont work. My kids miss using this app. Please release an update that fixes this bug! Once there is a fix that returns this paid app to a working app, I will change my review to what I wish I could give it - 5 stars. Thanks.

My grandsons love this app. But it stopped working months ago. It crashes as soon as we touch the screen when the music stops. I operate it on iPad Air 2, if that matters. Finally deleted it to stop the tears and tantrums. Hope it gets fixed soon. Was great while it worked!

I love this app! It makes learning to write fun. My kindergarten students enjoy it and I feel it reinforces correct letter formation. I have some suggestions for future updates. First of all, I would like to see lines for the lowercase letters. The kids need to learn letter placement and the app is not teaching this. In addition, I would prefer the letter g to have a beginning sound word like game instead of giraffe. I would also like to be able to make each child their own account in the game to track their performance.

This is our favorite letter game but now it wont work. It crashes at opening every time!
