If you’re here, you probably love cursive like we do, so congrats! You’ve found the best cursive app.
We know learning cursive is hard. It’s hard to find clear instructionsd and step by step guides. You want to know where and how to start and spending hours on youtube might help, but I’m sure it’s not what you’re looking for.
At Writey, we absoloutely LOVE cursive so we deciced to make Writey the best cursive teacher you can ever have!
You might be thinking what even is Writey and why do you say it’s the best cursive app? Alright I’ll give you a lot of reasons and if these don’t convince you I don’t know what will:
1. It Has Two Beautiful Cursive Fonts
If you’re just starting out, the regular Cursive font is clean, modern, and easy to follow. It’s perfect for beginners who want to build up muscle memory without getting overwhelmed by too many loops and swirls.
If you already know the basics and want something a little extra, Cursive Pro would be better for you. It’s got those elegant curves and polished details that make your writing quite unique. It’s inspired by Paris, and honestly, you can tell.
2. Cursive in Multiple Languages, Dark Mode, Ad-Free
Honestly, the first point and this one alone would be enough for me to download Writey, but that’s just me! You guys keep reading.
Writey has cursive handwriting in English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German (Deutsch), French, and Portuguese, so you can practice this beautiful handwriting in your favorite language!
Writey has Dark Mode, Left Handed Feature for all the lefties out there and it’s completely ad-free. (Because no one wants to be interrupted by a random shampoo ad in the middle of their cursive practice).
Oh, and you can zoom in and out to write at whatever size feels best for you. It sounds simple, but when you’re trying to get those perfect loops or tight curves, it makes a big difference.
Start your 3-day free trial and give it a shot. You might be surprised how quickly your writing starts to change. In a good way.
3. The Learning Roadmap Is Already Built In
You don’t have to figure out what to do next! Writey’s each section AND Smart Worksheets guide you through everything in the right order. So even if you’re totally new to cursive, you’ll always know where to start and what comes next.
4. Looping animation that make tracing simple and smooth
Next up is the Letters section. This is where you learn the full alphabet, one letter at a time. And the best part is that every single letter comes with a tracing animation that loops over and over until you’re ready to try it yourself. There’s no pressure to get it right on the first try. Just take your time and repeat as much as you need.
5. Stars System to Reward Your Handwriting
Each lesson comes with three stars at the top, starting off empty. As you work through your writing exercises, Writey tracks how precise and accurate your work is. Did you really nail that elegant curve or perfect those connecting lines? If yes, a star gets filled in. Earn 1, 2, or all 3 stars depending on how well you’ve done.
6. Start with the Training Section
The first step? Training. This is where you warm up your hand with loops, curves, and twists. Think of it as a workout, but just for your handwriting muscles. Super helpful for getting your hand used to the flow of cursive.
7. Most Important Part: Trace the Letters
Once the training is done, you move on to the Letters section. (You can always come back to this section for a warm-up tough).
This is where you practice each letter one at a time, and every single letter comes with a tracing animation that loops over and over until you get it right. You don’t have to memorize how the letters go or second-guess anything. Just follow along, repeat as much as you want, and build up confidence. And yes, take your time here. This is kind of the core of the whole thing.
8. You Can Learn Numbers Too
Cursive isn’t just for writing letters, you use numbers all the time too, so Writey has a Numbers section to help you keep your handwriting consistent across everything.
9. Practice Full Words from A to Z
Once you’ve got the letters covered, you can move on to the Practice Words section. We’ve prepared tons of words from A to Z for you to practice.
10. Practice Any Word You like in "My Words" Section
If you’ve got a favorite word that’s not in Words to Practice, you can add your own and practice it as many times as you want.
11. My Texts = Your Personal Practice Space
This is hands down one of the best features: My Texts. You can type in anything; A quote you love, a birthday message, something from your journal, and practice writing it in cursive with different pens. Not to brag, but it honestly can’t get better than this.
12. Freestyle on My Practice Papers
And when you’re ready to just do your own thing, Writey has My Practice Papers. Totally blank sheets where you can freestyle, doodle, or write whatever you want. No rules.
Bonus: Video Tutorials!
If you like watching step-by-step videos, We got a full A to Z cursive tutorial on their YouTube channel. It’s super helpful if you’re more of a visual learner.
