XType is FANTASTIC!!

I have used the "hunt and peck" method all my life and never thought I could learn to type without looking at my fingers. I tried a more well-known (and more expensive) program and got bored right away. I decided to give XType a try…and am I ever glad I did! Not only is it fun and challenging, but it really is addictive trying to get to the next level. I found I practiced much longer than I might have because of that. Ive used it for two weeks now, and have made it to level 10 (out of 15). I can now type most things quickly and accurately WITHOUT watching my fingers! Xtype focuses on both speed and accuracy and you get points for both. Many lessons have a picture of hands that highlight the finger to use for the letter you are about to type. Im starting to tackle the numbers keys lesson and the finger chart is very helpful for that. There is also a running meter of your speed and accuracy as you proceed through the lesson. So you can monitor how you are doing in real time. I did have a question for the developer and he responded right away with a very thorough and helpful answer. I cant recommend this app enough…if you want to learn or improve your typing this is a fun and fast way to do it!! It cant be beat! Buy this app…you wont be disappointed!!!! (And yes, I typed this review without watching my hands)…

Update: I forgot to say that another reviewer mentioned annoying sound…this can easily be turned off.
