because it gave me good accuracy
by Tom De Leon, 2022-01-21

Great app! It has exactly what I was looking for, the ability of customizing the layout. For the ones like me, who are learning an unusual layout, it's perfect. I am learning colemak mod dh, so I just selected the regular colemak and made a few adjustments. Besides that, I really like the fact that the exercises are always different.

I am oldish and it hard to learn new tricks. At long last, I decided to learn to touch type or try to learn. I need to type at work but I have fought this for many years. But i have surrendered. I have previously paid to go on an evening course to learn to touch type . But the most cost effective tool I have used is this app. Repetition , Repetition is the way for me to learn, great app. I recommend this app.
