Very Good for 2.99
After a reboot, I can see the whole screen and skip the intoduction. Runs fine on my Mac Mini 3,1 Core 2 2GHz duo, 1 GB memory. Graphics are nice, background music is alright, but, I have TWO kids, ONE mac, and want to keep seperate results for each child. After emailing the text of my original review with gripes, the developer almost immediately emailed me back explaining the basic Apple Mac stuff I did not know, and how to do what I wanted, to create a seperate login to my Mac for each child, to keep each result seperate. I want to run the program in a window smaller than full screen, I just have to tell it less resolution than what my desktop is set to use. He also explained how to reset the program back to the orginal state. No apparent way to generate reports, but it never said it did. I probably dont need to track my kids progress given how quickly they are learning. BOTH 8 yr. old sons like this program. The combination of easy to understand lessons and easy to understand game that each build letter by letter works for my kids extremely well. My kids are happy and learning a lot faster than I did, back in the manual typewriter days. I then purchased the iPad version. Also works great, needs earbuds to hear the sound (no surprise there), and I found out that the smaller than full size Logitech keyboard I use is really the wrong thing to use to learn to type. The iPad version would be great with a stand for the iPad and a full size bluetooth keyboard. Instead, I am going to buy a copy for each of my boys laptops to keep them from hogging my mac. This program is much better for the new beginner to typing than anything else I can find. After my kids can touch type Ill run them through a course on business typing and formatting. Great program, well done, FANTASTIC support response, would have given it a better review originally if I knew my Mac Mini better.
