User reviews

Could be better

This app is helpful for beginners but it does not show Which fingers you put on different keys and repeats the same letters over and over again there are no sentences and does not have a way to make it harder for people who can already type all of the letters

Rubbish

I bought this because I was looking for a virtual keyboard that displays lower case letters as well as the caps only standard iPad keyboard, which is an obvious way to get kids who are learning to read to get using a keyboard, this app doesn't do this, is just uses the standard virtual keyboard.
Fail.

What a gift

What an amazing app to teach keyboarding. Our special needs son (barely 5)can already type his name thanks to you Miss Sue. The simple uncluttered screen and calm voice is just perfect for those highly distractible students. With the help of this program and spelling fun we are hoping that by kindergarten our son will not have to use a pencil (since he can hardly hold it) but can access his curriculum through keyboarding. Everyone child with fine motor issues should use this program to gain the skills need to use an alternative to paper pencil! Oh and you can track how long it takes to find each letter.
