Beginners, not for you. (No standard keypad)
Guys, I really want to learn how to type on a standard keyboard so could you please make it so you can learn on one?
Brilliant
I love this app. If you find the disappearing keys frustrating, you can set them so that they don't. I think the app is brilliant for learning to touch type on an iPad and is great for single handed typists too. It is possible to use the app with an external keyboard. Very versatile and great for improving speed and accuracy no matter which keyboard you are using.

Ghost type
This app is frustrating and unfair.
It gave my daughter incorrect marks which was discouraging and frustrating for her .
Would not recommend.

Progress not recorded
The typing test/lessons are working but the app does not recognise when you are completed anything. It just says "Not Completed" against all items. I tried restarting my iPad but it is still a broken app I am afraid.
Response from developer
Later versions of the app fixed any of these problems.
Brilliant
The ability to create my own typing lessons and sage them sets this app apart!
Waste of money
If you want this app to learn how to type, don't waste your money. It doesn't do the basic one or two letters at a time, it gives you whole words and sentences to type, too confusing for young kids or anyone without experience. I made up my own lesson for the f and j key, but they disappeared after about a week.

You can create your own lessons as one letter at a time. That is part of the power of this app as you can create your own typing lessons.
Locks up on lessons
The lessons lockup after typing for a while. Tried to reset to the home page and start again but the lessons still locked up. I am using a Pocketfish iCapsule external keyboard with a Bluetooth Link. The program recognizes the external keyboard but does not recognize the dash ( - ) in the typing exercises. For the price, the program is adequate for basic typing practice and skill development, however, using an external keyboard stills needs further development. Two stars rating, more when the glitches get fixed.

Now I am typing faster
A brilliant app and the ghosting keyboard certainly enhances the ability to learn where the keys are. I was also delighted that I could create my own lessons. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to improve their iPad typing skills.
This is Great
My 3 kids have not put this app down.
The oldest is creating lessons for the others and testing and marking them.
Needless to say they are competing on accuracy and words per minute

Fun AND educational
Congratulations on a great app.. As a touch typist on a standard keyboard it is sometimes a struggle to translate that skill to the iPad, but just a short time on Ghost Type has already retuned my brain to be faster and more accurate than I would have imagined... Anyone using an iPad, adult or child will benefit greatly from this app.

Thoughtful App
Having two young daughters in primary school, I found this app excellent as I was able to create lessons for their particular school spelling lists. They really enjoy testing out their accuracy against each other and the ability for me to lock the app so that they can not delete the lesson is a great feature. Only after a short time playing with the app, both have improved their typing skills both in speed and accuracy and I can see how I can use this app as a parent for the many tasks that the children bring home from school. I was also pleased to see that I could save the lessons I created to my dropbox account and share them with my other friends who have girls at the same school. Great app and I look forward to more quality apps from demografix.

TOP MARKS to the developers of this app!! For someone who writes alot of emails and reports but has struggled getting typing speed since migrating to the Ipad this has made a massive difference in only 45mins!! Its intuitive whilst doing the tutoring and the huge list of settings allows me to customise the app to suit me personally. The keys "ghosting" to trigger your memory is a very cool feature and there are a host of other nifty and inventive facets that give this app the leading edge against its peers. This app has covered all bases, and then some! Official school fonts is sure to be a huge hit with educators and parents. Rarely do you see an app that has full functionality from the initial purchase and i was very pleasantly surprised to see the extras that were included! This app is actually additive and having experienced instant improvements in my speed and acuracy I will be telling all my fellow ipad users and even show the "two finger warriors" the path to typing enlightenment!

Great training
I was looking for a typing tutor for my nephews who are aged 4-10, and they love it! You know, watching over each other as they play and learn, "it's my turn!". Well thought out app, and very customisable. Recommended.
