When I press “start” it loads someone else’s. When I let it load it says I did the credit when all I did was let it load when I press give give up he doesn’t do anything, then I redo it this whole paragraph. FIX IT ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2018-03-26* This is the worst thing I have ever had to type in words book creator is better soo I give this 1 star ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-08-07, version 1.4.0* Won't even open past the first screen. ### 2/5 — Good idea anyways… *2021-05-08, version 1.7.3* It’s a cool idea but they fall short of making it work. For one thing there’s no setting that allows you do know Word Per Minute (WPM) - it’s only tracks in Strokes Per Min. That’s just annoying. It would also be amazing if you could select what stories you want from current news articles. Instead it just brings up a random paragraph. Any app that fixed these two things would be epic. ### 2/5 — Ok... *2017-05-26, version 1.4.1* This app is fun for just typing to practice typing, however, it isn't a clean cut & paste from internet articles. In the middle of a sentence they will have strange characters such as "'" and "


" while trying to beat your time at the same time. ### 3/5 — Great sorda *2022-03-31, version 1.7.3* So, i like the game yes but i wish the time would be taken away OR you get bonuses if you type correctly and faster to get time off. Please get back to me! Your friend, Rebekah ### 3/5 — Good app *2017-01-20* Good for practicing, accepts physical keyboards. Can't be used offline though. ### 3/5 — Good App *2016-01-30, version 1.3.0* This is a great app for those that need to practice their speed and accuracy. It's fun and challenging. Keep up the great work Dev team! ### 4/5 — Doesn't work with some 3rd party keyboards *2015-11-13, version 1.3.0* UPDATE: The new version now allows SwiftKey. YIPPEE! - This app is fine with the regular keyboard but doesn't work with some other keyboards that use swiping (like SwiftKey) instead of pressing each letter. I put in a feature request to add 3rd party support. I will update my review if I hear it is updated. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
