What's New in Keyboarding Without Tears

7.8.2

March 3, 2026

Minor bug fixes and improvements.

User reviews

Disappointing and horrible

Most of the reviews here are about how bad the app is and they give suggestions about how to make the app better but I don’t think the developers of this app are doing anything about the bugs and glitches because the reviews date back to 4-2 years ago and they haven’t done anything to improve the app since it has grammar errors and to my disappointment it doesn’t work with a keyboard plugged into an iPad or connected to and iPad even though it says it works with a keyboard connected to an iPad it’s just not fit to use for schoolwork and educational purposes it often makes my screen freeze so I can’t move on to the next lesson

Please

Please make it so that when people try to do it they don’t have to put in a pin because I don’t mine and my teacher said she doesn’t know it either. So please change that I’m begging

They should just delete this app from the App Store.

The point of using a typing app is to be able to use an external or internal keyboard if one chooses on an iPad for child. Even though the external keyboard connects fine and words everywhere else, it will not recognize it during target practice activities. Sometimes desktops are just not an option… They might as well take this app out of the App Store until they can work out the issue.
