Copybook Club vs Cursive: Learn Cursive

Copybook Club is an iOS app for making Simplified Chinese handwriting worksheets from text, imported files, Word Packs or words collected in interactive stories. It can import PDFs, photos and DOCX files, recognize Chinese text and let you edit the result before worksheet creation. Learn mode emphasizes unique characters; Practice mode retains the original text order. Worksheets can include grids, pinyin, translations, tracing or fading, stroke-order guides, and configurable fonts, cell sizes and repetitions. Practice on iPad with Apple Pencil or export A4 PDFs. The free plan allows three worksheet generations per week, up to two pages per worksheet, selected tools and fonts, free Word Packs, two daily Ink Rush rounds and PDF export. Ink Rush offers 60-second handwriting-memory rounds with stroke-order and direction checks. Bookshelf contains two free stories, and collected words can be practiced in worksheets. Core features work locally when iCloud is unavailable; selected records and progress can sync through a private iCloud database. The app is not a full Chinese course or handwriting grading tool.

Cursive: Learn Cursive is an app for practicing handwriting by tracing cursive letters and words, or entering custom words to practice. It offers uppercase and lowercase letter exercises with animated stroke order. Practice covers English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, with more than 100 included words per language, including words with accent marks. Users can display typed text in cursive and add, sort, or delete custom words; those words are shared across the cursive languages. Writing controls include example text size and style, pen or eraser, pen thickness and color, and zoom settings. Dark mode and theme colors are also available. Word search opens in an external browser, and users can change the search button to a share button. The app is listed for Android, iOS, and macOS. Android and iOS downloads are listed as free; Google Play identifies ads and in-app purchases, and Apple lists in-app purchases. Google Play says the app may collect location, app activity, and two other data types; its safety information says data is encrypted in transit and cannot be deleted.
