I originally purchased this program and used it successfully on a computer Our schools distribute iPads so we purchased several licenses for students to use Logitech keyboards plugged into their iPad This app does not work with a keyboard Kind of interesting because it is called keyboarding without tears When I called about this they kept telling me they re working on the glitches When I called recently they said they have stated on their website that this app is not recommended to use with a separate keyboard with the iPad They did however refund the money so that is good So if you are buying this to use with an iPad it would be used with the touchscreen I don t know many people that type that way If you use the touchscreen the better option would be using word prediction We are using the typing club or other apps that work with the keyboard     Disappointed #1 OT

Normally I love this app but this year it is constantly crashing or just doesn t load at all I have been using HWT and KWT for four years and this year the app and the computer program never work It would be nice if you actually fixed these problems both online and in the app This has been very frustrating Please fix the problem     I want to love but reptiletornado

This app works fine as a developmentally appropriate typing tutor but must be set up by teacher or therapist in order to have full access and functionality It is intended to support lessons provided by teacher or therapist Edit after the most recent iPad software update it has begun to freeze between lessons One of my students found that pressing the x at top right corner resets the session and pressing arrow on right side again progresses to the next session Can be frustrating but progress does continue             This app is intended to be setup by Occupational Therapist or teacher hawestfall

We like the program It works well on the computer but the app is buggy After finishing a lesson the app screen stays blank and does not advance to the next slide Please fix         Please read Would be great if it worked FarmGranola

Looks great you get it you need PIN not free WHY does Apple let this go on It should say Not Free and let me buy it instead going on a wild goose chase Bah humbug     Not Free Lrpd123

Purchased app to teach my 8 yr old how to type Open app and app asks for PIN number Hmmmm Go to Live Insights website Create an account Get pin Enter in a bunch of info and set up my child as a student Go back to app Find and click on my child s name Cool now we are getting somewhere nope Now app redirects me back to website where I apparently must purchase one or more licenses before app will function Try calling Live Insights for help No one answers Just get a voicemail box which I can t leave a message on because it is full Now I give up What a total waste of time Thanks Apple App Store for failing to mention anything about this in the app description     Deception through Omission sad beemo face

This app doesn t look like it s available to the general public I downloaded it and it asks me for a PIN to log in When I try to click on What s my PIN and asks me for my email Once I type my email thinking I will be able to register then it says Invalid email Description should specify this is not for general public and only available for those with pre established PINs     Not available to general public Belita2013

I am a big fan of the HWT curriculum I have used their products for a long time but this keyboarding curriculum is an embarrassment and a huge waste of money First I bought the license for the first grade keyboarding program When my son and I sat down to start it it forced us to do 6 weeks of preschool and Kindergarten level review which consists of things like dragging and dropping puzzle pieces That is way below grade level has nothing to do with keyboarding and even that portion of the app is not well done I finally gave up and just completed it myself and it was frustrating even as an adult because the pieces don t click into place easily and it s very boring repetitive and takes forever There is an option in the teacher set up portion to skip the 6 weeks of review so I selected that closed the app and restarted It still would not allow us to skip it even after doing this about 10 times I finally called tech support which said that while yes it allows you to skip the 6 weeks of review in some of the levels there is still mandatory review that is not skippable Okay that makes no sense but okay I gave up and completed one of the review lessons on my own just to get through it since my son was getting frustrated At the end of the lesson it showed me my progress chart and guess what I had 5 more weeks of review to go So apparently the skipping option just randomly doesn t work The next day I bought the license for the second grade keyboarding program because my son had his heart set on doing the keyboarding and I figured if there is 6 weeks of mandatory review then at least it would be at first grade level instead of preschool Kindergarten Wrong There are still these drag and drop puzzle pieces games albeit fewer of them When you start the app you select whether you are using an iPad with a separate keyboard or an iPad by itself Despite restarting the app numerous times again it did not recognize our keyboard The keyboard works fine I m using it right now to type the review The app is just in shambles totally unusable and I m shocked they even released something that plain does not work I have wasted my money on this and will deleting it and buying some other keyboarding program from the App Store and will not be using any more of their products     Don t waste your money 2asd4us

The iPad version of this app cannot find a bluetooth connected external keyboard iI know the keyboard works because I m typing this review with it Please fix the app is fairly useless without this capability     cannot find external keyboard no external keyboard

I have an external keyboard It is turned on and I am using it to compose this review The KWT app does not recognize that I have an external keyboard You would think that this feature would be a priority for an app that teaches typing the routine to check if there is a bluetooth keyboard attached Just to be sure I tried three external keyboards     No external keyboard Incorrect message b rain ct

I put in my Email address and it didn t accept it Purchase if you want the worst app in the history of apps     Stupid Button button button

I called tech support but did not receive an answer yet as to why the screen will not rotate on our 1st generation iPads We are trying to use with external keyboards and cannot get the screen to flip         External Keyboard MLSDLions

I got the app to work on my iPad Had to set the classroom up on Live Insights first following the HWT instructions on my computer Now when I log in on the iPad I see my classroom name and then I can select a student Still some bugs with the program Puzzle pieces don t always work well My 5 year old got frustrated and won t play again I had to finish up the puzzles just so he can move on to the next phase I hope he shows an interest again             Update on last feedback Idy557

Freezes up not working     OT Armsfarm14

Can t log in App freezes I have tried many times and never get past the log in page Bummer     Doesn t work Meisamomma

Really excited about this app but it won t open for me I enter in my email in step one and by step two the app freezes Very discouraging since I paid for the Handwriting AND Keyboarding and the keyboarding app was slated to release end of August It s postponement to release sometime in September and it s inability to work properly is a tad frustrating     Won t work Dissatisfied@it

My kid asked me if whoever made this did it over lunch It has a LOT of bugs I have used the desktop version and it has major bug problems The app seems no better Sometimes you can t login sometimes it will not let your student set the puzzle or other pieces where they belong and the only way out is to back out and start again And now it inexplicably skips up to 3 4th of the levels making for choppy progression and no way to access the skipped levels Not to mention I paid for those levels Not worth the money         Really low quality and buggy Lexie Acquara
