What's New in Ghost Type

3.1

September 17, 2020

Updated the app to fix an import issue and made some code enhancements.

User reviews

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!
