### 5/5 — Dumb app

*2026-03-10*

This app is not education my son had to tack a big nap from this app

### 2/5 — Pay

*2025-09-26, version 3.1.1*

### 5/5 — TTRS review

*2025-06-09, version 3.0.1*

Good and fun.

### 1/5 — Do not use an iPad with TTRS!

*2025-02-10*

This app is completely worthless on an iPad. I downloaded it and uninstalled it, tried logging in for so long, did system updates. Customer service was at a loss. I bought a new iPad just in case, nope. Finally, I got a Chromebook and use the web version and it works just fine. Only use the web version, I’ve wasted month on trying. And I have a Chromebook just for TTRS. I should have just gotten a different program.

### 3/5 — FIX IT PLEASE!!!

*2025-02-05, version 2.11.0*

when i go in and type my email and password as usual, it keeps saying the data can’t be read as it’s “missing” and i’m literally thinking this “I FILLED IT IN HOW IS IT MISSING?!” and then it stays on a loading screen with the bar not filling up and i can’t be there ALL day. please, make the waiting time shorter and remove that thing please!!! it annoys me

### 1/5 — Sign in versus sign up

*2024-12-20*

I downloaded the app to help me touch up on my typing skills, but after the app downloaded, it asked me to sign in rather than create an account or sign up or join. It just asked me to sign in, and when I signed in and said there was some sort of error And asked for some sort of log something and it was stuck,frozen, and I had to force a close. Was looking forward to using the app …

### 5/5 — Best typing app

*2024-10-22, version 2.9.11*

I really like the app and have been using it for. Some years now it has amazing features

### 1/5 — This does not synchronize with my computer

*2024-09-18, version 2.9.11*

The app doesn’t synchronize with my computer. My students do not appear, tho I do have the option of adding other people’s students. I wonder if other people have the option of adding my students. This is frightening!

### 2/5 — App issues

*2024-09-09*

I am trying to use the app for my 3 kids however I can’t get the app to switch profiles without it closing on me.     I paid for it a couple weeks ago and haven’t been able to use it yet!

### 4/5 — Amazing 😉

*2023-10-25, version 2.9.1*

My 11year old struggles with spelling and this has been a good help but she finds it a bit boring because it is the same things again and again and there is no fun in it
