Just plain bad, as well as turning into an ugly AI trash heap, I cannot complete the courses, as my keyboard, despite being in the correct USA layout, will not register the ' or " key, sad it used to be a decent website.

I wan to like this app but fir beginners like me they underline the letter your supposed to type while highlighting other letters so they purposely psych you out by doing so because one letter is underlined at the same time another is highlighted so your brain literally has no idea WTF key your actually supposed to hit. These mind games do no favors to beginners or anyone for that matter. I've junked this site. Go with Tipp10. Much better organized with all the psychedelic layouts to confuse you while trying to learn

It’s a good platform overall, but there are noticeable latencies, especially when handling videos (such as scrolling up). It takes over 2 seconds for input to reflect on the UI after typing.

I understand that for the free version that they need to allow ads however they allow ads that consume high data. My laptop has 32gb ram and there are a lot of delays while ads load which makes it difficult to type. This makes it required to pay if you want a reliable experience. Some exercises require you to retype a missed letter and other move forward. This inconsistent formatting also makes learning to type more challenging.

Tbh this typing app was pretty mid. What really drove me mad was some of the error systems. For example. when I do not type fast enough and make a mistake, I have to press that key that I missed. And I have to hit that exact key if I want to move on with the lesson. But if I type very fast, it just counts it as an regular error and lets you move on. what also bothered me was how long the typing lessons were. These lessons were up to 26 slides long (I call them slides only because idk what they are called). Each slide took about 40 - 45 seconds to complete. However, if you multiply 40 seconds by 26, that means the lesson takes 1040 seconds, or 17.3333333333 minutes long. Or in english, around 17 minutes. So yeah, it taught me some stuff, but I still think I could have saved a couple hundred brain cells using a different program. (Tell me if my math is incorrect.)

Hi, Thank you for reaching out to us and providing us with this feedback. That's how the site is supposed to work and it behaves like that because we want you to make sure (after the second error) that you place your hands properly on the keyboard. Kind regards.

When I tried to type, there was a ton of lag that made me miss a few keys, it could be my Chromebook acting up, but the lag was really annoying and it made me not like typing anymore
