I wish I had this app for my daughter when she was learning to write. It is one of the best kids apps I have seen on itunes. So nicely done! I love the poems and soothing sounds! Cant wait to share with family and friends.

Love this app!! It is so easy and really helps kids learn the correct way to write their letters. There is also a super cool background. This is a must have app!
A lovely app for children. Fun, imaginative, beautiful sound and animation. Nice work.
My five year old loves this "game". It does a wonderful job cementing the writting skills he works on in kindergarten. He found the poem feature today and I had to wrestle away my phone from him to write this review.
When my son works on his practice sheets from Kindergarten, he still has trouble writing some letters backwards, or in the wrong order -- resulting in huge letters. This is a fun way for him to practice his trouble letters in a way that is different from the written exercises. It feels like a game to him, as he does each letter enough times to earn the poem. I can the reset the letters for the next round of practice. I see immediate improvement on his homework sheets after he plays this game!
This little app packs an incredible amount of value for $1.99. The art, animation, and sound especially are very appealing. The app store needs more quality apps like this! I cant wait for the lowercase version!
This apps creative poems, outstanding graphics/sound effects, high replayability and large letters for little fingers make this one a most outstanding iPhone app for teaching Preschoolers ABC. Its underwater environment is much more engaging that the traditional "classroom" look. This is a sure hit with even older kids.
Hands (or finger, lol) down the best educational app the teaches how to correctly write letters.
My son loves this game, and it is a great app for teaching letters and developing fine motor skills needed for writing. Would be better if it also had lower-case letters, and the voice-over reading of the poems is a little too subdued, and sometimes hard to hear if there is background noise.
No feed bck given after letter was completed and it doesnt say the letters! The ocean theme is great and the tracing with the fish is cute but its lacking!!
Just that: Relaxing, entertaining, and good practice! My son is very energetic and when hes using this app his body becomes calm and relaxed. I love the background music, and it makes him feel very capable writing letters, especially when he really wants to write like his big sister already does.
Love love love both of these apps but the strokes for the M, N, V, and W are in the wrong order (v and w in Space Letter)- they should be more fluid, not going in opposite directions. Thank you!
All the kids like this.
My 2 year old daughter really likes this app. My only complaint is that it does not say the letter that they are tracing. If that feature were added, this would be a 5 star app :)
This exactly the kind of thing kids need! This game is beautiful, calming, and the letter writing works spot on! Maybe we can get some lowercase letters in Letterwriter Oceans 2?
Please fix M,N,V&W asap. The way these letters are presented do not follow any curriculum I am aware of in Texas. As an occupational therapist with handwriting as my specialty I could not recommend this app to families/students until this is fixed. Love the concept & music & hands on interaction. A lower case option would be awesome, but using a standardized curriculum is a must such as Handwriting Without Tears. Cant wait for the update to fix this concern!!
It would be logical and helpful if the letters the children were working on were each said out loud, perhaps when the letter first appears on the screen and just after the child finishes writing it. This way the program would teach the alphabet and how to write letters simulantesously. It should also have a lower case option. If you added the lower case option, then the letters when said out loud should sound something like this -- big A, little a or uppercase A, lower case a. I would give the program a five star rating if it did this. Right now it is very pretty looking program that is greatly lacking edcuationally.
