User Reviews

The app is praised as an effective tool for learning the Russian alphabet and practicing cursive handwriting, with many users reporting real progress. However, recurrent issues include imperfect handwriting recognition for letters with marks, an incomplete Cyrillic set, and a lack of a printed-script option. Some reviewers also note device/platform limits (such as portrait-only iPad use) and desire for features like background practice or better cross‑device syncing. Overall it’s helpful, but has notable reliability and versatility gaps.
Pros
  • Effective for learning the Russian alphabet and script, especially Cyrillic cursive.
  • Strong handwriting practice that helps improve Cyrillic penmanship.
  • Generally helpful and motivating; users report real progress.
  • Free version usable with unobtrusive ads.
Cons
  • Inconsistent handwriting recognition, especially for marks/diacritics and certain letters.
  • Missing Cyrillic letters (ы, ь, ъ) and some two-letter combinations.
  • Rigid cursive-only mode with no option to practice printed/script variations.
  • Platform/device limitations noted (portrait-only on iPad and some cross‑device issues).

I can’t write the letter й ‌‌in lowercase and I’m having trouble with 3 stars in the test анд евен иф и got 2 stars it’s not good

I initially thought that an app like Duolingo would be better but I’m learning a lot better than I thought with this app instead. I recommend after barely learning a portion to retest 100x to solidify the information in your brain.

My one complaint is it doesn’t have phonetic spelling to help pronounce the letters
