A lot of exciting stuff has been going on with TapTyping in the past two months. The holiday tradition of being locked out of iTunes Connect for 7 days begins tomorrow so it seems like a great time to update the ol' blog.

Three versions of TapTyping have been released in the past 6 weeks and I'm really pumped. I beleive now, more than ever, that touch screen typing is going to be an essential skill for everyone. I am now dedicating 100% of my time into making TapTyping the best virtual keyboard tutor it can be.

On November 22nd I submitted version 3.1 which added iPad typing heat maps to the lesson statistics pages. The heat maps show you exactly where on the keyboard each tap occurs and highlights erroroneous taps with red. By using the heat map the user can easily spot where their problem keys are and adjust accordingly between each page. The instant feedback you get from the heat map is a great tool for improving your typing accuracy and increasing your iPad WPM.

TapTyping 3.2, which became avaialbe on December 9th, finally brought one of the most requested features to the free version of our app: more content. A new crash course lesson was added for and all of the paid app's content was made available via In-App-Purchasing.

And finally, TapTyping 3.3 became available yesterday adding the Inspirational Quotes lesson and fixing a few bugs introduced in version 3.2. Users of the free version can also now purchase all of the typing courses; Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; as a single "full curriculum".

Do you have ideas for how I can improve TapTyping? If so, I'd love to hear them. Please don't hesitate to drop me an email or leave a comment below. Happy Holidays!

Answer: 111 words per minute at 100% accuracy. Or at least that's the current record. To get into the top ten you would have to beat 83 WPM. All pretty amazing considering this is done on the glass screen of a device that is "meant only for consumption".

With the recent release of our iPhone typing trainer we thought it was finally time to bring our TapTyping leaderboards to the web. These are updated live and only list each user's highest score hiding the rest of their attempts (which is a change we will be rolling out to the in-app leaderboards in the next few days).

Head over to our iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch typing test leader boards to see what types of speeds the world's fastest iOS typists are putting up.
