タイピスト App Reviews

It’s really great app. It’s takes time and patient but eventually once you get the hang of it. Its fun to practice. You know what they say practive makes perfect, not the whole other way around.

I used other typing instructor apps in the beginning; however, they were all not very helpful. My typing was very clumsy. With “Typist,” everthing changed. The apps layout is simple and intuitive. My learning process was rapid. I could mentally remember where the keys were without having to look at the keyboard. My typing speed increased naturally. I would certainily recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn typing with the ten fingers. Try this app, you will not regret. In no time, you will be on your way to amazing your friends about how well and fast you can type. Thanks to the developer. By the way, I typed this review in two minutes. That is an average of 55 words per minute. Not bad for a beginner.

Nothing super-fancy; just a nice, simple program to help your typing skills. Lessons each take less than 10 minutes, so it’s easy to fit in a lesson here and there during the busy day.

I like this app a lot. It really breaks things down well. I certainly have many bad habbits to overcome, and I think typist will be very helpful in that regard. Recommended for sure!

No fancy bells and whistles and it gets the job done. Great app for simply learning to type.

This is a great, simple and straight-forward program for proper touch-typing at multiple levels of skill. Some programs/apps are just better when left looking bare-bones without all the unessecesary frills and destractions so the CONTENT can remain focused, understandable, intelligently thought-out, and thus, can be executed perfectly with perfect results. This app is a PERFECT example of that - less is really A LOT more! Highly recommend this for anyone learning to type, needs to brush up on their typing, learn some new techniques, et al. Hands down 5-stars from me! So glad this app exists!

My dad tried to make me do this when i was 8. This is not for 8 or younger for sure.

simple easy very light weight. this is all need to be a better typist.

This little app does everything it needs to, and it does the job well. Always finding myself trying to improve many things in my life such as penmanship, and typing skills. Lessons are quick and it works.

You did the impossible and taught me touch typing at the age of 54. The program is simple, and the lessons are no nonsense and all you have to do is work through them, and practice. Also did wonders for my self esteem, to finally seize control over the keyboard. I got so good at it, I’m now using a blank-key Trulyergonomic keyboard! You don’t need anything except Typist.

I started using this app without any knowledge of formal typing. Within a few short weeks of practicing as advised by the program, I was typing without looking at the keys. The app really works, you should try it!

OK this app does show you letters to type, but when you finish a lesson, there is text which is supposed to show the strokes/min, the typing speed and the error ratio. For me these are always 0. It doesn’t work. There also doesn’t seem to be any way to measure your progress as you get better. It’s just a very simplistic program that doesn’t do much as far as I can tell. I don’t see how it has such good ratings, unless I’m missing something.

HORRIBLE didnt even help i bought a 15$ master key and got better results. DONT BUY

I am a software developer who have been programming with just two fingers my entire life. I looked for apps to learn typing and stumbled across this one. In just a month I went from hunt and peck to typing away without looking at the keyboard. You just need to be patient and willing to put some time in. If all you want is learning how to type properly 100% without the fancy features that other reviewers here complain about, this is the App to get.

Guys I had no idea how to type without looking at the keyboard, using typist for just two weeks is just enaough to make the miracle happen! The key is to be consistent. It is a great app and I highly recommend it.

In some modules, you are not allowed to make a SINGLE mistake before coninuing on. This is more like punishment, not learning.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I was still hunting and pecking at the keyboard at the age of 26. I was determined to become a touch typist and went searching through the App Store to find something that could quickly help me learn how. Most of the apps are geared toward children and rightfully so, but I wanted something that could be used by an adult, was simple, straight-forward and extensive. Fortunately I found Typist. This app takes you from the very beginning and helps you learn all the keys, including the upper row of number keys. Within three days of using it, I was touch typing (albeit slowly) and within a week, I had become a permanent touch typist. The nice thing about the app is that it caters to typists of all age and experience level and helps you to both improve your accuracy and speed with a number of different, quick and easy lessons. Plus the price can’t be beat. Bottom line: If you’re looking to finally learn touch typing or would like to improve your typing speed, I would highly recommend downloading and using this app.

I’ve tried different typing software on MAC but this is the most simple and it does not make me frustrated to learn typing. You can get familliar with it pretty fast. Thanks for making this and it’s even free.

Not a bad typing program. I already know how to type so I’m just using this to have a little fun — I just find typing the letter 1 by using the letter L kind of pointless, and it just throws me off. Never encountered a computer where you type the 1 key using the letter L. It’s not Mavis Beacon (which is how I learned) but for a free program, I can’t complain too much. :)

well, some of you guys may say that it is the “best” typing game ever made, but I do NOT agree with that AT ALL. I must admit that it is a way to learn typing, but it is VERY boring when learning. you have to type random stuff, such as: ffffjjjjjfffjfjfjffjjfjjfjjjfjjfjfjfjfjjffj… for thousands of times. when you mistype something, you have to do the entire thing all over again! the worst part is that it can NOT delete what you had just typed, and when you actually mistyped something, you need a few seconds to figure out what letter you should press next, which, in fact, slows you down when typing.
