Writing Wizard is a handwriting practice app that helps children trace letters, numbers, and words. It guides correct letter tracing and lets adults adjust letter size and difficulty, or choose whether to show a model. Children can trace with animated stickers and sound effects, play four games that animate letters, and collect stars in 5-Stars mode. Parents and teachers can create custom word lists and record audio for each word. Detailed progress reports show what children have traced; adults can replay and export tracings. The app can also make PDF handwriting worksheets to print or email. Word lists can be shared through iCloud Drive or other cloud providers, an ad hoc network, or email. The maker says app data and activities stay on the device and its apps contain no ads. A free download is available, but remaining letters and custom words require an in-app purchase or subscription. Listed options include 2.49 USD per month for Full Access - Monthly, 5.99 USD per once for custom words and lists, and 9.99 USD per once for Lifetime Full Access.
