Default Looking for an iPad app to help my child with handwriting

I know, it seems backwards to use a computer to teach handwriting, but the 6yo needs handwriting/fine motor work, and using the iPad is motivating for him. Any suggestions?

Are they advanced enough for a 1st grader? He knows how to form letters, It's just slow and they're illegible.

My second grader (Dakota) has the same issues. Yes, it is. He enjoys it for the practice.

My kindergartener (Dalton) uses it as well.

I highly recommend Cursive Wizard. It's $4.99, I believe, but SO worth it. There may be a printing one, I don't know, but PJ started using it in kindergarten and loved it.
