## Review summary

GreatTyping is praised for helping users improve typing through a simple, drill-based, step-by-step approach and its lightweight, no-frills design. However, reviewers repeatedly note drawbacks: it does not teach hand placement; there are privacy concerns about file access on iPad; and some content appears incomplete. Overall, it works well for practice and speed-building for those who already have basic typing knowledge, but foundational instruction and privacy considerations are common objections.

### Pros

- Improves typing with consistent, gradual practice.
- Simple, lightweight drill-based format with clear step-by-step lessons.
- No-frills, focused practice that many users find easy to use.

### Cons

- Does not teach hand placement or typing basics; not ideal for absolute beginners.
- Privacy concerns about accessing/storing files on the iPad via the Files app.
- Some users feel content is incomplete (mentions of 'part 1').
