### 2/5 — Lame

*2018-06-24, version 1.0*

The key & return sounds are okay, but the space bar sound is kinda lame.

But the really lame part is that it doesn't work with an external hardware keyboard. So you might as well buy the typing sound keyboard app developed by the famous actor, which also doesn't work with an external hardware keyboard, but has *much* better typing sounds.

### 1/5 — I want my money back!

*2016-02-09, version 1.0*

I've never left a bad review ever. This isn't a typewriter!  It's a keyboard that makes noise!  If you mute all your noises then it's just a black keyboard!

### 3/5 — It's a typewriter...

*2014-11-08, version 1.0*

It sounds like a typewriter, but looks nothing like a typewriter. The keys have a slight delay to them if you are used to the Apple keyboard. Also, you have to enable full access if you want the sounds. This doesn't bode well since you are giving up your privacy. I do like how the space bar and enter keys have a different sound than the normal clicks. Remove the slight delay, improve the UI and enable sounds for limited access and this keyboard would get 5🌟's.
