Welcome to Manuscript! We’ve updated our name to better reflect the premium, educational focus of our app. While our name and App Store details have had a little makeover to help more parents find us, the app itself remains the exact same privacy-first, evidence-based handwriting experience your child loves. This update also includes minor under-the-hood performance improvements to keep practice sessions running smoothly. Happy tracing!
