### 4/5 — App auch fürSchüler*innen mit Sehschädigung (sehr) gut geeignet

*2026-04-28*

Liebes Entwickler-Team, ich nutze die App in Verbindung mit einem ganzheitlichen Lehrgang für meine Schüler*innen mit Sehschädigung. Meine Schüler*innen erzielen tolle Lernerfolge mit den individuellen Übungen, die ich passend zum dem ganzheitlichen Lehrgang in die App einstellen kann. Ich bin begeistert, dass man die Schriftart verändern, das Zeichen mittels Zoom unterschiedlich farbig hervorheben, den Buchstaben oder das Wort vorlesen lassen und die Geschwindigkeit regulieren kann. Momentan vergebe ich "nur" 4 von 5 möglichen Sternen, da meine Schüler*innen und ich uns noch folgendes wünschen: 1. eine serifenlose Schrift, z. B. Verdana oder Arial 2. Behebung der Verbindungsprobleme mit einer externen Tastatur: Unter der neuen IOS-Version muss die App mindestens dreimal geschlossen werden, bis die Meldung "No external keyboard detected" kommt und die externe Tastatur sich wieder verbindet. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie an den zwei Punkten arbeiten könnten. Herzlichen Dank für die sehr durchdachte App und insbesondere die Möglichkeit des Einstellens individueller Übungen.

### 1/5 — Keine externe Tastatur, Programmabsturz

*2026-03-26*

Externe Tastatur am Tablet wird in keiner Weise unterstützt. Programm stürzt auch mehrfach ab.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-12-25*

This app really helped me to improve my micro errors i can only recomend it

### 4/5 — Super Übungen

*2025-09-29*

Super Übungen und übersichtlich - toll wäre es, wenn die Buchstaben in den Übungen die Farben der Finger hätten. Vielen Dank für die App.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert leider nicht

*2025-08-28*

Auf meinem IPad mit externer Tastatur funktioniert die Leertaste leider nicht. Das Dokument schließt sich, und die Übung kann nicht durchgeführt werden.

### 3/5 — Ok but needs work

*2025-08-10*

I mean I looked at a lot of typing apps and this on looked like the best one but it didn’t give me any info about how to type like where to put my fingers, thankfully in school i had done a little typing but still!!! And why on files!!! Are you trying to steal info??!!!

### 4/5 — I CAN’T USE SPACE

*2025-05-07*

The title explains everything🤬

### 1/5 — Tastatur wird nicht genommen

*2023-12-07*

ich habe ein Tastatur an meinem Ipad, diese funktioniert auch sehr gut und auch beim öffnen der App kann ich Sachen mit ihr auswählen. jJedoch beim starten einer Übung wird mir angezeigt, dass keine externe Tastatur vorhanden ist und somit kann ich diese App nicht nutzen

### 5/5 — Typing app

*2023-11-24*

I just downloaded this app. I have not typed since High school and it has me started back on typing again. It is helping me type better. Thank you for an intelligent app.

### 3/5 — Good

*2023-10-11*

Honestly, it was pretty good for me and worked out well. The thing is that it doesn’t literally teach you but I think it is a review if you already know how to type. I think you should show where to position your hands and where the letters are.
