What Trazos is
Trazos is a handwriting practice app for children that guides them through tracing letters, numbers, and words against on-screen models. It scores strokes for shape, direction, and coverage; after three misses, it lets the child move on. Activities include print and cursive letters, numbers, picture words, pre-writing lines, mazes, and free writing. English and Spanish are supported, including Ñ and accented vowels when Spanish is selected. Up to four children can have separate names, colors, and progress. The app works offline and includes recordings of letter names, sounds, and words. A parent area creates practice-sheet PDFs in US Letter or A4; three are available free, with unlimited sheets in Full Access. The free plan costs nothing. Full Access costs $6.99, paid once, billed as one payment. The maker says progress data stays on the device and the app has no account, ads, or analytics. Trazos is for iOS and Mac; the listing specifies iOS 17.0 or later and macOS 14.0 or later with an Apple M1 chip or later, and says Mac compatibility is not verified.
