WHOLE FAMILY IS ADDICTED!

EXCELLENT GAME. NO BUGS. NO FREEZING. JUST FUN ASTEROID SHOOTING AND TYPING PRACTICE. GREAT SOUND EFFECTS! SIMPLE AND WELL DONE GRAPHICS. ONCE ONE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY STARTS PLAYING EVERYBODY WANTS A SHOT AT IT! EASILY WORTH THE 3.99, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ON THE APP STORE LIKE IT AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.

Doesnt work

Honey pot? Rip off? It just shows the high score screen. No instructions. No keys do anything. They got my three bucks, cest la vie. Dont let them get yours.

amazing app!

this app helped me learn how to type a lot better than i used to. 5 stars!!

Game stops accepting key input

Seemed like a fun little game to try, but after the first couple rounds the game stopped accepting keyboard input. Didnt matter how many times I quit and reloaded. This app is pretty useless if it doesnt recognize you typing

My Grandaughter loves this app

The developer was very quick to fix the freezing problem I reported to him. It now works great and is a fantastic learning tool for my granddaughter.

My 6 year old LOVES this app -- but a few fixes would make it perfect!

I purchased this app to help my 6 year old learn the layout of keys on the keyboard. I wasnt so concerned about "proper" typing technique at this point, so I actively didnt want something like the Mavis Beacon products. Arcade Typing Tutor is FANTASTIC! He loves playing it, and is steadily learning where certain keys are, etc… His enthusiasm for learning typing skills is credited directly to this app. I purchased a few other typing apps at the same time, and can easily say after comparing a few of them that Arcade Typing Tutor is excellent for what it does. The graphics are fantastic, and my son especially loves the sound effects. You have done a phenominal job with this app, and I would strongly encourage anyone with a young learner to purchase this app without hesitation. A few suggestions to make this app PERFECT: (1) More control over the words and speed -- It would be helpful if you could set the words per minute lower than 15wpm. For a 6 year old, the words just come much too quickly. My son became somewhat frustrated when he began falling too far behind, mostly because the words were coming too fast. It would also be nice if there was an option to limit the number of letters in a word so that I could keep the words at 4 letters or less (or 5, or 6, etc…) (2) Custom word lists -- It would be incredible if you could add a feature that allowed parents to add custom word lists to the app. I would use it to populate a list of his high-frequency words from school, and would also use it to reinforce some of the reading words were working on. (3) Different settings -- I dont think my son is tired of the outer space theme yet, but it would do you well to add a few different settings. This program really has some outstanding features, and incredible potential. Thank you so very much!

9-year old overwhelmed

My son just finished the third grade, but this game just stressed him out as far as keyboarding goes. It requires you to already be able to find the keys quickly, and there is NO WAY to slow it down. While some kids may be able to handle this sort of intense frenetic gaming, it is not helpful to all children.
