I really freaking hate typing on an iPhone 4s. I frequently hit space instead of a or backspace instead of l or m.
The keyboard isn't always the same and so sometimes I hit . instead of space.
The cheap bluetooth keyboard I bought makes typing very much nicer. That bluetooth keyboard is almost a toy, which is some indication of how terrible iPhone typing experience is.
(On a tangent: a version of that game using the hundred most commonly misspelled English words, or a simple / plain English vocabulary list would be useful. Especially if they software could speak the words at you.)
Still, that means I would be even more likely to pay for a spelling / typing game that had more accurate speed tests. I'm not particularly keen on the weapons theme, so some cutesy forrest animals throwing snowballs might work.
Sorry, but how does that counter what I said? Parent said that typing on a touchscreen "It is practically impossible".
If you have 157 WPM on iPhone 4s then it's a counter-proof that as I said, it's anything but "practically impossible".
That you "hate it" is another thing, which I can understand. It's not the best experience in the world and obviously sub par to a full keyboard. But it's clearly not "impossible".
And your 157 WPM are for 4s as you said.
iPhone 6, with the larger target area and auto-prediction, makes it even easier, at least for me. And if the new model brings some tactile (force) feedback, that would be even better.
If they were such a hidrance people could always still buy the keyboard models they abandonded en masse starting 2007.
You mean the ones I keep on seeing on trains and planes?
