## Review summary

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).
