This app is intended to be setup by Occupational Therapist or teacher

This app works fine as a developmentally appropriate typing tutor, but must be set up by teacher or therapist in order to have full access and functionality. It is intended to support lessons provided by teacher or therapist.

Edit: after the most recent iPad software update it has begun to freeze between lessons. One of my students found that pressing the 'x' at top right corner resets the session and pressing arrow on right side again progresses to the next session. Can be frustrating, but progress does continue.

Disappointed

I originally purchased this program and used it successfully on a computer. Our schools distribute iPads, so we purchased several licenses for students to use Logitech keyboards plugged into their iPad. This app does not work with a keyboard! Kind of interesting because it is called keyboarding without tears!
When I called about this they kept telling me they're working on the glitches. When I called recently, they said they have stated on their website that this app is not recommended to use with a separate keyboard with the iPad. They did however refund the money, so that is good! So if you are buying this to use with an iPad, it would be used with the touchscreen. I don't know many people that type that way. If you use the touchscreen the better option would be using word prediction.
We are using the typing club or other apps that work with the keyboard.

Absolutely horrible

This game is 💩. There is this thing that says solve or something and I don’t know what to do. So I restarted the whole level and I found you out you had to tap on it. THEY NEVER TOLD ME TO TAP ON IT! When you enter, the game suddenly crashes and you get a black screen. It deletes all of you progress without warning. If you are using keyboard you sometimes have to press the shift button on screen and then press the key on your keyboard while holding. The screen never moves down so you have to press al the buttons on the keyboard until you hit the right one. And then you have to do it again for the next letter! This game is so bad it makes me want to destroy my device. It is a big pile of trash and never ever ever ever play this game. It will brake you and enrage you. KeyboardingWithoutTears more like KeyboardingWithTears. Please improve this game!!!!!!!!!!
