Trazos

What Trazos is

Trazos is an iOS handwriting app that helps children practice tracing letters, numbers, and words. It scores strokes for shape, direction, and coverage against a model. After three missed attempts, it accepts the stroke so practice can continue. Activities include print and cursive letters, numbers, picture words, pre-writing lines, mazes, and free writing. English and Spanish are supported, including Ñ and accented vowels when the Spanish alphabet is selected. Up to four children can each have a name, color, and progress record. The app works offline, with letter names, sounds, and words recorded in the app. A parent area creates practice-sheet PDFs in US Letter or A4 sizes; three are included free, and Full Access allows unlimited sheets. The maker says strokes, names, stars, and the heat map stay on the device, and that the app has no account, ads, or analytics. Free costs nothing. Full Access costs $6.99, paid once, billed as one payment, and unlocks additional letters, numbers, words, cursive, Spanish characters, practice sheets, the photo album, and the iPad paint studio. The maker identifies Kid Secure Games, a 316 Software company, and says the app was built in Canada by Cristian Penarrieta.

Who it suits

Trazos suits children practicing handwriting, with separate progress records for up to four children and print and cursive activities. It may also suit families who want offline practice in English or Spanish and printable worksheets.

Limits

The Free plan includes letters A–M and a–m, numbers 0–9, 10 picture words per language, 8 lines, 4 mazes, and 3 practice-sheet PDFs. Full Access costs $6.99, paid once and unlocks the remaining content and unlimited practice sheets.
