No support for German keyboards!!!
Englische Tastatur
Hallo Leute, leider habe ich nicht bedacht das das Programm auf einen Mac mit deutscher Tastatur keinen Sinn macht. Ansonsten macht es einen netten Eindruck und versucht spielerisch das zehn Finger schreiben einem näher zubringen. Bin aber nun in Lesson zwei und habe abgebrochen, weil ich statt das ö nun ein Semikolon angezeigt bekomme. Nicht geiegnet für deutsche Tastaturen!
5.99 Euro for a programm that doesnt even start
This programm does not run on my mac. On the website of the developer they propose a couple of solutions but none of them is usefull. I am really disappointed and had to buy another programm. 5.99 Euro is not a lot of money but too much for a programm that does not work.
Great Value - Awesome Typing Tutor.
I am typing faster and more accurately than before using this app. The lessons are good, the practice games are fun and engaging (Dragon Chase is my favorite), and the price is exceptional. This is a nice little Typing Tutor.
Application Error! - Problem is fixed :)
I bought the application via App Store and installed it on my MacBook Pro. However on startup it pops up a message: "This Application cannot run. Try restarting your computer." I tried the support website ending up in a broken link page. I have sent a message to support team and I hope they either help me fix the problem or refund my money. I will post again if I get a good result back. Dont buy this app yet and stay tuned... UPDATE: I have to say that I am really satisfied with their customer service. We exchanged several emails and finally I got the application working on my iMac. There is a demo version of the program on the website that you can try before buying the application. UPDATE 2: I gave 5 star to their customer service. As you read above, I had problem with the application but I received an email from edAlive soon after I wrote my first review. We had been in contact to troubleshoot the issue and eventually I found the root cause for problem was the fact that Adobe products doesnt work with case-sensitive file system. Nothing that edAlive could solve. What really mattered to me is the customer service that I received from edAlive.
Its great for typing.
Positive : Its great for typing. Negitive: Takes like 5 mintues to load. Whats with that? Black Screen of death and your sitting there wondering if the program has crashed, or frozen your computer. Needs a load bar if its going to take that long. The longest program Ioading time length Ive had before this program was with Photoshop and Indesign (a grand total of 10- 35 seconds on my beauty of a iMac) Heck Auto CAD and Final Cut Express arent even that long to load. Once your into the typing program things are better. (Until you leave and reopen the program again.)
Typing Tournament
I find Typing Tournament to be decently affective. It seems to be somewhat geared to kids but as an adult I still find it fun and challenging. I didnt find it long to load or start up at all on my new macbook pro (osx lion). I would say definatey go for it if you want to improve your typing skills.
