Customer Reviews and Scores
I found 130 customer reviews at the time of writing and they had awarded the typing Instructor for kids platinum 3.9 stars out of a possible 5 on average.
The customer reviews on Amazon are positive overall, but there were a few niggling points raised. One customer said, “Software looked good in box but crashed both Macs we tried to install it on.”
However, no one else seems to have experienced the same difficulties, so perhaps it isn’t a widespread problem. Other customers said, “Using this for my 9 year old daughter and she TOTALLY LOVES this!!!” and,“Wow! Motivational typing program!” and finally, “I would highly recommend it!”
That makes it very easy for me to recommend the Typing Instructor for Kids Platinum as well.
