Some people just don’t get the iPhone keyboard – and we have to admit that it took us a while to become proficient with it. But there is now hope for those people who need to master it. Typing Genius is a typing test for the iPhone keyboard. There are five categories ranging from basic through to pro, with a practical section thrown in there as well. As you sit each test you will be timed and graded for the number of errors you make. If you want to get better at using the keyboard then this is the way to do it. It’s well laid out and the practical tests will have you writing everyday sentences to get your confidence up. Even the common problems you find when you first start out on the iPhone, like missing the auto-correct notes that display above words you type, will soon become a thing of the past. After some tuition with Typing Genius you’ll no longer have to send apologetic replies to friends questioning exactly what you meant to say in your last email.
