### 1/5 — No option to restart from within the round, if we want to restart.

*2025-03-02*

Title. Becomes tiring to have to close the app and restart repeatedly.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-03-13, version 2.1.5*

Thhis is such a good app this helped the speed of my typing improve so much. Also its completely free!

### 5/5 — This is fun

*2022-12-21, version 2.1.5*

This game is fun

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-26, version 2.1.3*

So there was typingclub but I don’t my school code i usually do it on my computer but then there’s this app now i can finally have a good typing app without a code so I recommend this app

### 4/5 — Good or bad

*2021-02-20, version 2.1.3*

It is good way Lear type fast although I didn’t like one thing adds are too many so I have 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2020-09-12, version 2.1.2*

It has way to many commercials and doesn’t help at all this is the worst app DONT GET IT.

### 1/5 — Type fast

*2020-07-14, version 2.1.1*

This app is useless. The screen doesn’t rotate after each use. Disappointing. Have to turn iPad around each use

### 4/5 — Some problems... great though.

*2020-07-07, version 2.1.1*

This app is very fun! But there are a few things...
1. When you select the ‘play’ option, you can’t see the next word. That way, you spend about .5 seconds looking at the new word, which wastes a lot of your time.
2. Some words are longer than others. If you are looking for something to see how fast you really type, then I do not recommend this app.
3. Landscape mode is not really ‘landscape mode’. It’s just portrait style, with the words facing the other direction. After you finish one thing in the ‘landscape mode’, you go back to the classic portrait style. And there is no way to get it back unless you restart the app.
Overall, nice idea, but not so good execution. I recommend this to anyone who wants to look at their overall ranking, but not their real typing speed.

### 4/5 — Landscape vs Portrait

*2020-06-29, version 2.1.1*

The game works in landscape mode the first time. Then it switches to portrait mode. I have to clear it from RAM to get it back in landscape.

### 5/5 — Yas

*2020-05-27, version 2.1.1*

This is app rlly helps
