First week using the app - the students absolutely LOVE this app and they are very proud of their progress. They love the badges and are always excited when they gain a new level or achievement. MAJOR BUG - We are using American keyboard cases made by Brenthaven - when we try to play the game with the reaching giraffe we hold down the “J” key… and then ONE of the three apples is “edible” and the other two generate errors. We cannot eat those apples and the kids are so frustrated. If anyone knows if I am doing something wrong on my end - please, please let me know because the kids are Gaga for your game!

I’m not sure why theres such a low rating, I’m in the US using the US keyboard over had no glitches or bugs on my end. I love the way the set up is you can skip something’s in the beginning of what you already know. I love that it reminds you to take breaks, has parental control if you need it, i am an adult so i dont need that but it’s awesome that its an option. ALSO NO ADS for a FREE game is sooo appreciated and noticed thats why I supported them with the purchases of the sword game for 3.99 which is basically nothing to me knowing how much effort and time they’ve put in the game. When they say its for kids and adults I can attest thats true. Also for the challenge game you can upload in your own sentences if you have something you need to know how to type, or you can use there premade ones. I really appreciate the developers thank you for creating something thats been much needed and making it free! Please don’t hesitate to give this game a try, it’ll boost your typing skill and also a mind game. I will be using this for my future children to teach them a much needed skill but still make it fun! I hope to see more challenges that i can play for free or purchase and to see what other games you create. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My eight year old daughter received a new keyboard for her iPad and I immediately downloaded this app as being very similar to the games I learned on back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. The app seems great with solid, understandable tutorials and good game design, but when my daughter reached level 3 on World 1, it started glitching just as others have said. It told her every keystroke was wrong and she got so frustrated she came to me in tears. She went back to levels 1 & 2 (which had worked fine the day before) and they were now experiencing the same glitch. She tried going to other worlds and so far is able to play, but we’re living in dread that the glitch will spread to other places. Please fix this as it’s otherwise an excellent program that I would happily donate to! She learned a lot in just a short amount of game play and was really enjoying it.
