In Animal Typing, the animal you get depends on your typing skills. The faster you type, the faster is your animal (snail, rabbit, horse, etc.). However, be careful, Animal Typing also greatly rewards your accuracy. So, avoid the typos and get the cheetah!

Impressive App
Tuck4436
The design of this app is very thorough and well thought out. My kids enjoy learning to type using this app. It keeps the challenges fun and motivational. I look forward to trying out the other apps by Corentin.

I am unable to advance past level 24. I am unable to find out why and no attempt to contact the developer has been successful. Someone please tell me what is going on? How do I advance.
Very good but, something wrong

I love this app and I can type a lot faster now! There is one thing wrong. It keeps logging me out of the game, and it’s always doing that when I’m in the middle of the game. please fix this.
Waste of money

Waste of money for full app. Way better programs out there that actually have more than a handful of practice lessons. Wish I could get my money back!
I highly recommend!

This is a great app. I like how it shoes the finger placement and it’s fun! Well worth the money.
Very effective app

I searched and tried several apps to learn how to touch type with a physical keyboard and settled on this one. It worked out great and after 3 weeks of going through the tutorial in my spare time, I've learned how to type fairly accurately without looking at the keys at about 50 wpm. If I can give one point of criticism, I'd recommend they tone down the graphics and animations as it can be slightly distracting while learning. Still, I give it 5 stars because it does the job well and nothing out there that I tried comes close.
works great

I ordered a bluetooth keyboard just to try this out. It works great so far. I have been looking for something like this without any luck. Can't wait for my kids to start learning to type!
