About this app

• Animal Typing is a simple and funny way to learn touch typing on a keyboard for kids and grown-ups.
Start typing faster on your keyboard. Animal Typing teaches you how to touch type correctly on your keyboard.
In Animal Typing, the animal you get depends on your typing skills. The faster you type on your keyboard, the faster is your animal (snail, rabbit, horse, etc.). However, be careful, Animal Typing also greatly rewards your typing accuracy. So, avoid the typos and get the cheetah!

Ratings and reviews

not just for kids! I just bought an external keyboard to use with my android phone, and it is very comfortable to have a touch-typing exercise app like this in android. I have tried several lessons, and so far everything looks very nice. (it'd be great if you can make the return key more salient, though. I often mistakenly press space instead.) Gamification encourages me to practice again and again. I also often switch between QWERTY and QWERTZ so, having both here is so awesome! Thank you!!

This is an excellent learn to type application for all ages. This is uses the old systematic approach training your 10 fingers for different areas of the keyboard. It starts with the middle keys then moves from to top and bottom keys. This approach reminds me of the old typing class in school but changed to a fun game. I wish the full application was available to be purchased globally for Chrome Books on Google Playstore. The message states that is it not available in Canada.

Great idea but some of the execution is really off - the camera keeps moving in and out and the app regularly pops up "helpful" messages both of which make it really hard to concentrate, while the animal changing shape & size frequntly makes it hard to tell exactly what letter to type.
