#ThursdayApp FastTyping

FastTyping is an iMessage app that allows you to compete against your iMessage friends in typing speeds. The game is fairly simple as it only involves users typing as quickly as they can by following the given prompt (which are usually within the topics of Music).

The user interface is also fairly simple. Each category that the user is given has a background of a different color and the interface only consists of the prompt and a typing text field.

Because of the nature of iMessage always having a text field on top, on my first try I actually ended up typing into the iMessage text field rather than the one given in the app.

The experience of “penalty” is also not as emphasized. Rather than giving me a score that I don’t understand how it was calculated, I would have preferred the application itself displaying some form of error sound or a change in the color of the text. Also, the application also does not show how many points I have earned so far from playing.
