Cursive: Learn Cursive vs Kitsunewa Writing Practice

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.

Kitsunewa Writing Practice helps learners practice Japanese kana and kanji stroke order by watching, tracing or writing characters from memory. Learners can practice individual characters or words, study the stroke order first, or begin memory practice with hints. The “Your own” option takes Japanese text, such as a name or sentence, and makes its unique characters available to practice. Writing practice runs in a browser without signup or rounds and scores; learners can repeat characters and personal bests are saved on their device. A mouse or trackpad works, as does finger input on phones and tablets. The tool is available on the web, Android and iOS. The Free plan is free and includes writing practice and other tools. Pro costs $4.08/mo (annual), billed $49 yearly, and includes Advanced Essentials after a free preview, higher AI conversation caps and unlimited guided speaking lessons. Advanced Essentials batches require an account. Pro can be cancelled in account settings, with access through the billing period’s end.
