Typesy - Touch Typing

Positives. Good app. Does job well. Lessons built in strict and logical progression, each section progressing within rows, letters, combinations of letters, hands, words. Games are fun. Syncs with website allowing practice anywhere, including work during downtime. Prompt response to support queries. Negatives. A bit boring at times due to repetitive format of lessons. Games are fun but don't necessarily take into account level of proficiency. Sometimes videos crash app. After 3 lessons in a row app slows down. Not updated often enough to correct bugs. Recommend highly.

I though at age over 66, like I’m at right now, I won’t be able to learn typing ever; it’s too late. If you missed the opportunity in grammer school then you are out of luck. But with Typesy and regular excercises you have a chance to catch up with you grandkids - at least up to a moderate rate. I recommend Typesy to anyone regardless of age, especially those who never learned typing in school with help of a teacher. You are going to enjoy it just don’t give up after the first few days. The big advantage of self-teaching yourself is, even if you are not able to go above let’s say 30 words/minute speed, you still won’t get a bad grade :-)

Don’t try it. It crashes every time I finish one or two practices or games. I am using iPad Pro 2018, and it’s so buggy that it makes my iPad feel old. The basic practice contents are fine, but there is no texts that you can practice on, i.e. there’s only random words or string of alphabet, not even phrases. I’ve been using this by reopening the app or going back to home menu and restart the course over and over, but now I’m out of patience. I’ll try different typing app, TapTyping; it seems it has better review. So if you’re reading this, save your time and money and try other app than this one.

I’m impressed with the variety of exercises Typesy offers. It really has helped me to improve my skills. I would recommend this app to anyone who is looking to improve their accuracy and speed.

The app is great, however extremely buggy and unstable (iPad Pro 2018). When it works it’s wonderful and it’s a wonderful way to hypothetically learn how to type-however constantly crashes or freezes, while developers ignore the problems or are unable to solve the glitches as it has been going on for a while.
