Stylus, handwriting and hardware
Kaligo is a handwriting learning app.
For an optimal experience, using a stylus is strongly recommended, even if it is not always mandatory depending on the device.
✍️ Is a stylus recommended to use Kaligo?
Yes, a stylus is essential for properly working on handwriting skills.
Writing with a finger does not provide enough precision and does not reproduce the expected writing movement.
👉 To ensure your child fully benefits from Kaligo exercises, we therefore recommend using a stylus.
🎯 Why a stylus is important for learning
Handwriting is based on:
- Movement
- Precision
- Hand–eye coordination
A stylus helps replicate the real writing gesture on paper, which is essential for:
- Learning letters
- Memorizing stroke patterns
- Supporting your child’s progress
🖊️ What type of stylus should I use?

🛠️ If you experience issues with the stylus
If handwriting does not work correctly:
- Check that the stylus is compatible with your device
- Make sure it is charged or properly connected (if required)
- Test the stylus in another app
If the issue persists, please contact Kaligo support and specify:
- The device model
- The stylus model
- The behavior observed in the app
