Just Kept Crashing!
What's the point of having a typing app for iPad and not MacOS! That's just ridiculous! How are you going to type properly on an iPad without a keyboard! This really hasn't not been thought out properly whatsoever!
What happened? Okay, never mind
How is that the app completely froze as soon as I entered the correct spelling of the first word the second time I played the game? So frustrating! Okay. Read this. There are no instructions. You must hit the space bar after each word? Not the enter key. I also think it would also be fantastic if there was a way to change the colors. The fonts cans be obscuring to some.

Weirdly right-wing texts
I installed this to demonstrate touch typing for my kids. So far the typing passages I’ve done had oddly right-wing political message: intolerance towards the homeless and religious passages.
Aside from that, I found this app generally quirky. I couldn’t figure out how to start typing at first, because it doesn’t automatically focus on the text input, and hitting space “submits” a word. For paragraph mode, words disappear as you type them, which is a strange effect. You also have to remember to hit space after the final word in the paragraph in order to finish (it would be nice if they accepted the return key for the end of the paragraph).
There are also some bugs: it doesn’t work well with iPad, where punctuation like quote marks and apostrophes are auto-formatted (the app expects plain ASCII characters). Other reviews say you can’t switch difficulty, which isn’t quite true. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The app is either hanging or else the ad bar is in the way, preventing clicking on the text input field.
This is not a professional-feeling app. The overall odd behavior and bugs have made me wonder if this is actually meant to be a right wing propaganda vessel, rather than a typing app.

Great app
I wrote this in less than a minute thank to this app! I strongly suggest it.
Bugs
Contains a number of bugs, and sample texts include spelling errors etc.
It’s ok
I can type but when I want to type medium it won’t let me type. And when I want to get out of medium it won’t let me get out so I have to exit out on the main screen.
It’s not bad, but it freezes all the time
I used it for awhile, and it was ok. But when you select hard, the app freezes and will only let you select easy. If that was fixed this would not be a bad app for typing.
