I like this app. Could use a little more UI polish but it’s clean and simple. **Developer response:** Rob, thank you for the updated review! I’d love to know what improvements you’d like to see. You can message via twitter @itextspeed, facebook, or email itextspeed@gmail.com Thank you for playing! ### 4/5 — good app fix social networking *2013-08-24, version 1.1* like the app have used it for years has helped with my typing when I got my keyboard for my phone it made it even more fun but would like to be able to upload to facebook. ### 4/5 — Great, simple, elegant and addictive!! *2010-06-29, version 0* It's fun and every time I play, I find that I'm just a little bit more efficient with my iPhone keyboard.. My high is 54 wpm... One comment- there needs to be a return to menu function (unless it's there and I'm missing it) from during the game.. It's annoying to accidentally start a 60 second game and have to wait for the timer to run out. Other then that... Awesome. ### 4/5 — Not so bad *2010-03-21, version 0* Not bad ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2009-12-20, version 0* I've had this for a while now and decided to finally make a review since I forgot to lol. This app really helps when you want to practice typing fast. I used to get around the 40s but now I get 50s like nothing landscape or portrait. A tip would be to look at the words the majority of the time rather than looking at the keyboard and your fingers! Auto-correction is just too smart :)! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2009-08-13, version 0* Having an iPhone typing speed measurement app is the coolest! I just typed that @ 45 WPM! ### 5/5 — Useful app! *2009-07-22, version 0* Very nice little app to help improve the speed and accuracy of your texting. Very useful for people new to the iPhone or iTouch. ### 5/5 — Great little app! A must for all iphone users! *2009-07-21, version 0* As a noob to the iphone it really helped me get my skills up. A must for any iphone user. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2016-05-13, version 2.1* Don't waste your money on this app. If you click play it will just log you right out. I am just trying to get fast at typing but there is no good apps for that ### 1/5 — Terribly Boring *2012-12-07, version 1.1* So boring nothing to do except type. Game is limited and I feel I waisted my $1 ### 1/5 — Unsatisfactory *2010-08-09, version 0* If you want to improve your typing on the ipad to include numbers, question marks, quotations, shift, asterisk, etc. keys, there's no way to adjust the settings for those types of drills. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2010-05-04, version 0* Ok the app itself is pretty cool when it works. Every since I did the Facebook connect thing it doesn't work. It just cuts off as soon as I open it. It's Luke friggin weird and I don't know why. I have to give it a low rating until this gets fixed. I mean whenbit does decide to works then it is pretty cool abdbinlove it. But until this problem he's fixed it's a low rating for now. It especially makes me mad since paid for it. ### 1/5 — Always crashing *2009-11-09, version 0* :-( ### 2/5 — No iPhone 5 support? *2013-07-07, version 1.1* What are you guys waiting for? ### 2/5 — Crash *2009-11-23, version 0* I tryed to use facebook connect and it crashes every time i try to run the app now ### 2/5 — Always crashes. *2009-11-05, version 0* Enough sed ### 3/5 — NEEDS IPHONE 5 UPDATE! *2013-06-08, version 1.1* I can't get an accurate testing of my speed if the app doesn't fill my display! Needs update ASAP! ### 3/5 — Not real world *2010-03-27, version 0* The biggest weakness is that the words are randomly presented. In the real world you are typing sentances, not just random words. It would be a better test if the words were formed into a coherent structure. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2019-12-12, version 3.0.2* This app helped me get from 20wpm to 62! And I quite enjoy the challenge of trying to get past my records. ### 5/5 — Review on ITextSpeed. *2017-07-14, version 2.5* I'm not typically into the review thing and so far, I have been happy with the app. Has a learning curve all its own, not like Mavis Beacon for anyone who has used that program and for IPad and IPhone users who use a separate keyboard, this app fits the bill. The app must be fairly new as there are not any FAQ's and those are not really needed, but nice to have. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-12-07, version 1.1* This app made me type ALOT faster than when i had the lite version Gotta give it 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great app but please make iPhone 5 version!! *2012-11-24, version 1.1* Please update the app for the iPhone 5! The "resized" screen causes the keyboard to be elevated which does not conform to our muscle memory for texting! ### 5/5 — Cool. *2012-07-22, version 1.1* Good enough. ### 5/5 — Great App *2010-06-19, version 0* Helps you get to be a real quick texter/typed on your iPod/iPhone. I can now text reviews (like this one), notes, and emails super quick. It bugs me so much when my friends type sooo slow now. This is really great practice and totally worth your money. Even if you already are fast you can still improve and if you don't type a lot on your iPod it's still a fun game to play. Recommended to anyone! :) ### 5/5 — Love It! *2010-04-11, version 0* Love It! ### 5/5 — Funn *2010-03-16, version 0* Love it ### 5/5 — Addicting! *2010-03-15, version 0* This app is very fun! I find it very addicting. The first time I played I got 32WPM now currently I type 58WPM. Thanks devs =] ### 5/5 — ONE OF THE BEST APPS OUT THER!! *2010-01-03, version 0* This app is great way to get that speed you always wanted. U can type as fast as on a computer! I would pay much more than 1$ for this..... GET IT! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
