Tap Academy has been good for learning, but there could be more variety is drills. Things that need improvement: 1. The pop game is not compatible with shortcuts, I'm punished for using shortcuts. 2. When you break a personal record, the screen fills with confetti and noise while time is still left. This is particuarly annoying when the next word is "finished" :) 3. The speed test is annoying because you cannot see more than a couple words at a time. My score will improve with app improvements.
This App helps users go from knowledge of the patterns for letters, punctuation etc to the point that they can achieve 30wpm after a month. There are exercises, speed tests etc for the user, and statistics to indicate progress. The Tap strap has a steep learning curve - so TA needs to be exceptionally good and be judged to a high standard. Two things could be better. It needs to learn what letters are giving problems, and give focused tests with those. Also one exercise (Popping Ls) has defects.
Works only with default mapping, forces portrait mode. While it does its job for default TAP mapping on mobile phone, it lacks more versatility. It should support tablets better (at least by not forcing portrait screen mode) and most of all it needs an option to use the alternative TAP mapping so you can use it to practise those as well in addition to (or instead of) the default mapping, which lacks the both speed/letter frequency optimisation as well as some other needed features/characters.
So frustrating. This app succeeded in making me resent my Tap. Where it could have had features like detecting which letters you get wrong most frequently, and providing information such as hand position if its that your thumb isnt being reliably detected or alternate patterns, instead it patronisingly repeats a message to slow down. That its all speed based games doubles the irritating hypocracy. I cant read the messages it gives while playing, and it lags on my phone, making it hard to use.
My tap strap works great with all devices but for some reason it doesn't work correctly in this app. my inputs don't register more often than they do, when they register perfectly fine on all other apps and devices. I absolutely love my tapstrap though and typing websites don't have a proplem taking the input so the learning commences.
I tried five times to post a review I had written with the tap strap. It is a piece of junk and this program does not function at all. It kept jumping off the typing area, and leaving the review. None of the software beyond tapmanager works at all, and that gem malfunctions as often as it functions.
Constantly freezes up in the app causing a horrible completion rate in the end. Maybe another company will succeed where this ones fails. Hopefully GOOGLE will make a better one. Spoke to customer service they just say turn off standby mode and still it doesn't work.
Had issues receiving input with this app previously. It has recently start working and is fine now. If your device works properly with this app, it is a much better tool for muscle memory than just repeating the other app's activities. Using TAP 2 and Note 10 plus.
An excellent and much needed training app. I just finished day thirty and my new typing record is 48wpm. I hope for continued improvements, but so far the Tap team has great about enhancing the Tap experience.
I like the idea of practicing and the daily reminders, but sometimes the app won't take input even though the keyboard works with the rest of my phone. Heck, I typed this comment using the tap keyboard.
I love to practice my tap strap but in really wish there was a better way to do it. This app limits the amount im able to practice.
Currently does not recognize my tap strap 2...TapManager and TapGenius both do, but not this one (on my Samsung Galaxy S10). What gives?
The back, home, and app buttons disappear from the bottom on my Samsung S6 tablet. How do I exit without rebooting?
Its good but why we can't practice with our own Map. Cause I have set up my own Map but t can't practice with it.. :(
Great idea app. Doesn't work with double keys, example (double O for Q).
Just echoing other feedback that Tap Academy doesn't accommodate shortcuts.
Wish there were more lessons. Or atleast a reset button to start over and practice again. Also a way to enter/ send text messages with Samsung. For example return x2 could be the send button for a text message. There is so much more that they can do with this Tap to make it awesome!
