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. ### 4/5 — Great. One small thing. *2020-04-20, version 2.1.1* It’s really annoying that on iOS it defaults to portrait aspect ratio. It means I have to fully quit the app each time I start a new ‘game’. It doesn’t reorientate by just tipping the iPad. 😖 ### 4/5 — It was fun but...... *2020-01-15, version 1.7.4* When I was on keep practicing over and over. It was awesome to give me to improve but I am sick of restart my iPhone often. Because it keep remove the start and there’s no way how to start the game. It gone where to click the start so I have to restart my iPhone often. 4 star out of 5. ### 4/5 — TF *2020-01-11, version 1.7.4* How many ward’s cane you beet can you beet 26 ### 4/5 — Great Fun *2019-12-26, version 1.7.4* If you enjoy typing fast, this game will be great fun. It also has good replayability. I removed ads not long after downloading it for the first time. Would like to see some more game modes but, as it is, it’s a great time-killer. ### 4/5 — Ads *2019-03-20* It a good app but everytime u finish a game another ad pops up its very annoying ### 3/5 — An okay game, wish you could play in landscape mode *2019-02-23, version 1.6.1* It’s a simple game, but I wish you could rotate it into landscape mode since it’s easier to type like that. For it to only support portrait mode makes no sense. Also, there’s a lot of ads, way too many ### 3/5 — No screen rotation *2018-11-24, version 1.6.1* It would be easier if the screen could rotate ### 3/5 — Why doesn’t it have landscape mode? *2018-08-08, version 1.6.1* Fun little game but wish it had a landscape mode ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-12-25, version 1.7.4* Could be a really good game if it didn’t just stop the app at random times. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Perfect *2019-11-16, version 1.7.4* Awesome except updates take to long not worth it at all if your a good typer don’t bother it is very RETARDED ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-05-31, version 1.7.1* Crashes every 1 to 3 words. This may be too my using Gboard and swyping, but that is what I want to practice. ### 1/5 — Disagreements *2018-12-27, version 1.6.1* When I downloaded this app I use it with my iPad and a keyboard and it wouldn’t let me switch the direction of the screen, also every time I got out of a challenge or something else on the app an ad would pop up at least every 10 seconds which I do not think is fair there is way too many ads and the screen should be able to rotate (and yes my screen lock was OFF)! ### 1/5 — No screen tilt *2018-10-09, version 1.6.1* I use an iPad Pro with keyboard. I was hoping this app would help with my typing skills. However, after I downloaded it and tried to use it I realized that the screen is stuck on one direction. If I turn my iPad to the side, using the keyboard the screen does not turn with it. (Yes my screen lock is turned off) ### 1/5 — Exactly what I want *2018-07-30, version 1.6.1* But it crashes when I use Gboard and swipe to enter the words. ### 2/5 — Sad,but hopeful *2020-02-10, version 1.7.4* Everytime a make my iPad landscape then the keyboard disappear one the second word. It’s so sad because I really like the bases of the app other than that. I love that you can change the language of the words that you type so that it makes you learn wear each of the letter are on the keyboard. I hope you fix the problem soon, I would be so happy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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.

It was not in English. As English is not my first language. And I am attached to my grammatical mistakes. I always amazed by the way professional people, Chloe for example, would type so fast and without looking at the keyboard. I was just amazed but not much into doing it myself. I am attached to my slow pace. Then I started to write again..and I write everyday and its becoming fast and I cannot catch up with my mind. So I decided to give it a try... it is working. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Derek *2019-01-03, version 1.6.1* Great mini game ### 5/5 — Bru *2018-11-20, version 1.6.1* Bru dis is awesome I just play with iPad and keebord bru --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
