Reviews of LeapFrog Learn to Write with Mr. Pencil Stylus & Writing App (works

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My 4-year old grandson loves this. Mr. Pencil is easy to grasp, durable and works really well. There's enough content to keep him interested and coming back to it. I like the theme of a village street. We live in a small town so he can relate. The challenge is to finish writing the letters and numbers at each stop library, fire hall, etc. He moves forward and opens up entrance into more buildings in the village by completing tasks. He's learning focus, hand/eye coordination, and task completion in one easy, fun app.

On the down side, the app is large, we had to delete stuff to make room for it. This is for iPad only. I wish it was cross platform. Would love to get this for Kindle Fire.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My son has had problems forming his letters in Kindergarten due to hand strength and grip. Many time a very narrow, long pencil makes it harder to write. Mr. Pencil is easy for him to grip and requires no batteries!!!! Using the free app on my Iphone was easy after using the 'eraser' to conform we owned a Mr. Pencil. He is laughing and forming letters as I write this, the affirmations from the software boosting his interest and confidence. Great product!

Best Deals for LeapFrog Learn to Write with Mr. Pencil Stylus & Writing App (works

We bought two for our 5 year old twins, and they stink. We downloaded the app from iTunes onto both of our iPads, and tried to use the pencils. Tried. It doesn't sense the pencil strokes half the time, we can't unlock the other "levels" or whatever they are, so kids have completely run out of possible play in less than an hour with the product. We are so bummed, my son who is not a proficient writer was really excited to use this and was carefully tracing lines to make letters it just wouldn't work (it wouldn't work for me, either).

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Learn to Write with Mr. Pencil Stylus & Writing App (works

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My 4, 5 and 6 year olds are all learning to read and write, and it's rare that you find educational products that 1. can actually teach your kids and 2. help keep them motivated to actually use the product if it turns out to be educational. This product got a big pass on both points!

You download the free app and it both teaches and encourages writing skills, congratulating and unlocking levels for successes and offering gentle correction for missteps. The big cartoon pencil also helps make it fun. It's probably the best letter writing app we've tried on the iPad, and we've used many!

At the asking price, it's a steal!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My toddler loves playing on my iPad so I was naturally curious about this app. She recognizes her numbers and letters so I thought this would be a good way to introducing her to writing her letters. However, maybe she is just too young. She can't hold the pencil stylus in place as is required to make each letter because you can only make it go in a particular direction. We still use it, but at 3, she may be some time away from using it properly.
