Cursive Practice review
A low-cost iPad app for structured cursive drills, without feedback or progress tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cursive Practice is an iPad app for learners working on English cursive handwriting. Its practice library covers uppercase and lowercase letters, words, sentences, famous-person quotes, basic sentences, and numbers. A blank mode supports free practice, while switching between uppercase and lowercase keeps the exercises focused on a chosen letter style. The app suits learners who want simple guided drills on an iPad without committing to a subscription.
The app’s strongest point is the range of practice formats within a narrow cursive focus. Word exercises are organized into 26-, 52-, and 78-word sets, and sentence practice combines quotes with basic sentences. Learners can shuffle content, choose uppercase or lowercase practice, and adjust pen-border width. These options add variety and basic control without turning the app into a broader handwriting curriculum. The blank mode is useful for moving from prompted exercises to freer writing.
Cursive Practice follows a freemium model. The Free plan includes uppercase and lowercase practice, word, sentence, quote, and number practice, but contains advertising. According to the published plan details, the Remove Ads option costs $0.99 as a one-time in-app purchase and removes advertising. That makes it a straightforward choice for basic drills, particularly for learners who value a low one-time cost. It is less suitable for buyers seeking handwriting feedback, progress tracking, or extensive customization beyond pen-border width. Learners who want focused cursive repetition on iPad should consider it; those needing broader platform support or measured skill development should look elsewhere.
