___
We love playing this game!! Best typing game ever.
___
We used to work for newspaper. Although there were offered regular free taptyping classes we never took one. So when we left that job we were still writing with two index fingers, only. We tried few free online tap typing courses, but there were more commericals on each one of them than real exercises. Finally, we found this one and its great. Really. We started taptyping exercises last early December. Today 1.5.2024, after practicing every day for about 15-20minutes, we can typing with all ten fingers at about 25words a minut and getting better. Splendid app.
___
Great but hard to use the keyboard.
___
So much for such a tiny one time fee ($3.99).
___
Exactly what we needed, immediately bought the curriculum. Is it possible to make an ipad version? Specifically for the one handed mode keyboard.
___
Best typing app Ive seen for practicing typing skills.
___
Used Typist for hours and hours practicing our typing and it has helped us improve drastically through hard diligent practice, even made us a better speller. Great work on the app.
___
Best app for learning how to text fast. We love it.
___
We are a skilled typist when it comes to typing on a regular keyboard/QWERTY keyboard, however, on our small iPhone SE keyboard our skills are sorely lacking. Ive been Looking for an app to help us learn to type better and more efficiently on our phone with fewer errors. Many of the apps in the store are focused on either typing quickly, typing on an iPad, or typing on a QWERTY keyboard. This is the only app Ive found that actually *teaches proper typo techniques such as where to position your fingers on the phone keyboard, etc.* Overall an excellent app and well worth the $3.99.
___
We luv this app! We downloaded 6 other typing apps and tryed them out! This app was the best out of all the ones we downloaded! We started playing this app today and we are already typing faster! We have no found anything wrongwith this app! Please download this app if you are going to be doing lots of typing we give this app 5 stars.
___
The rest of this app is good but please, add a iPad Pro leaderboard because we are using it! A REAL KEYBOARD. Teha TeheHaBondi, a TapTyping user.
___
Great application to practice, we can spend hours on here.
___
This is by far the best typing app on the store right now! The only thing we would love to see is a dark mode! Hard to practice late at night with the white screen.
___
We use this app when we get our nails dont so we can practice typing faster.
___
If you just want a good WPM test app, this is the best one, easily.
___
Its a great app. Simple, and straightforward. It gives wonderful practice at typing accurately, and encourages fast typing. Really nice app, highly recommended.
___
We got an iPad Mini 5 and a Brydge keyboard to go with it and wanted to get used to typing quickly on a small keyboard. This is our new email/task manager instead of a laptop and didnt know if it would work. It totally does but now Im using this app to relearn on a smaller keyboard. We need work.
___
We really like TapTyping because it has all these sections where you cast do sentences of crash courses or whatever! We also like how you can name yourself whatever you want.
___
In love both! (TapTypeing iPadOS) and (Edutypeing Mac OS).
___
We did pay for the upgraded version. Very thorough exercises to learn or improve typing skills on a phone.
___
It is fun you could say....you could also type using the keyboard air which makes it ALOT more easily to type so it good we guess.
___
We just wish there was more stories in the extra credit section.
___
We this app. We enjoyed learning to type with it. We tried many others this app is by far the best! Cant beat this FREE app.
___
Thanks for this great application. Please optimize this application for iPad Pro 12.9 (2018). It will be totally great.
___
We love this app its both entertaining and skillful.
___
Makes tap typing faster and easier to do over time as compared to swype features and the like. Also helps you rely less on auto correct function for words not yet stored in your dictionary.
___
Our name is Lilly, and we are living on a sailboat with our two parents who homeschool us. Our mom gives us her we pad and lets us do this. Let us tell you something, it works! It takes us about 15 minutes per day which is not bad at all! So, if your child needs help with typing, GET THIS APP! :).
___
Make sure you buy the full pack it is great.
___
Im using a bluetooth keyboard and we love learning and practicing how to type better, we love typing right now, Im literally doing rn.
___
This app is helping us a lot to learn to type on an external keyboard. It takes you through learning the keys little by little and actually gives you something to learn instead of all the other goofy typing games out there. Look what we learned to type: jfhtygnvhth! Easy as pie. Lol.
___
Thanks that really help our 12 years old son. Our son start doing it 3 years ago. He miss a lot time. Now he can do so fast. He do 40-60 minutes each day except for Friday. He can do it without looking. We are very proud of our son and this app. We are also a teacher we told our student. To use this app. We think kids and teen in the world can improve by using this app. This is good for kids future when they do homework on computer.
___
After about 30 mins on the app it seems fun and gives us something new and intriguing thing to do.
___
We really like the way that it is set up for central keys, outer keys, etc. We gives us a wonderful opportunity to be familiar with the keys that way. We know this app is for tying on the iPad, but we have a Bluetooth keyboard and we enjoy practicing typing on it more than the on-screen keyboard on the iPad. We guess we will take our time on that. Therefore, we enjoy practicing typing and this is a wonderful set up. Keep up the good work.
___
This app is really useful for bettering the skills of typing and you will find that it is very enjoyable as well. Its amazing.
___
Before we Started Typing Before Using This App, we Was Pretty Slow,But Slowly we Started Making our Way To FAST Typing.
___
We really enjoyed this fun and diverse app for practicing typing speed and accuracy. Lots of fun different drills to practice with. Since we already learned to type on a keyboard without looking in 9th grade, we were brushing up our skills on our IPad Apple Magic Keyboard. We found that we had to use the touch screen for some of the symbols. Whether you tap on the screen, or type using a keyboard, its very useful to practice tapping or typing using the left and right hands. Im used to a larger keyboard, but the Apple Magic Keyboard is still the way to go once you learn to use both hands typing without looking! Try it, youll love it! So much faster! And you can watch the screen without looking at the keyboard and correct your errors faster! Fun! Fun! Fun! Apple Magic Keyboard is Magic! Tap Typing is Fun.
___
Great App to have, teaches the basic skills of typing and more a great app to have for anyone with kids or want to improve their typing skills.
___
We just got this app and it's been working so well for us. We've tried at least five other typing apps, and this is the best one yet.
___
We have really enjoyed practicing our typing and taking the test to see progress.
___
What does almost every single app in the iOS App Store have in common? The TOUCHSCREEN! Getting better at using the virtual keyboard makes you better and faster at using every other app that you have. Every other typing course assumes a hardware keyboard. Some of that carries over, but a lot does not. Thank you to the developers.
___
This version of tap typing is working out fine, no complaints.
___
We really like this app teaches our 8 year olds how to type THANKS ALOT.
___
The best app to learn and practice typing on iPad.
___
Very useful app, we learned to type without looking at the keyboard in just a few days.
___
We are on day one of our journey to typing more quickly. Its really tricky for us, but right away we noticed keys that we have pressing with the wrong fingers for years and it has already started correcting our form properly! Im sure with only that correction we will achieve a faster WPM and we really excited about it. Im pretty slow now and focusing on accuracy but we intend on writing a second review in a months time. We are looking forward to working hard and seeing our improvements.
___
Hi Ive been practicing texting in this app but it always gets us stuck on commas periods and other things like that. If you can have a way that you can turn off commas in the practice sentences that would be great.
___
Its really good but it glitches does anyone know what to do.
___
We love this app! Ive been using it for a couple days and Ive already seen improvements in our typing speed and accuracy! The quirky messages at the end of the lessons are funny and encouraging. We like the way you can watch your progress throughout the lesson. What Im not the biggest fan of is the bloop whenever you make a mistake. We turn our sound all the way off just to do our lessons so we cant listen to music from our iPad and still use the app. Also there are a couple typos in the post lesson messages. All in all its pretty awesome app! Thanks to the developers for making this.
