Review title of CRIS Too difficult

I'm not sure how this would help a true beginner to learn to touch type. The very first lesson was difficult and I've been typing for 30 years at a reasonably decent pace (haven't tested myself for years, but at least 50 words per minute - used to be 100 on an actual typewriter but word processing has made me lazy on the keyboard!) Anyway, on top of the fact that I was barely going to finish the first 5 minute drill on time, the software inexplicably reset with about a minute to go in the drill. Endlessly typing variations on asdf jkl; seems like it should be after actually learning where the keys are. I already know where they are and was getting bored and almost not going to finish. I would recommend baby steps and shorter drills to start off the process for beginners. Seems to need some more work before it's ready. I'm sure my kids would be very frustrated trying to learn to type with this app.

Typing Master Finland Oy responded on 6/1/2017 Thank you for your valuable feedback! If you already type 50 WPM, you could choose another course by clicking "change course" button on top, try "speed building" course instead of basics course. If you want to tailor course shorter, please click button "adjust course duration" and change course time to 15 minutes to make drills short. There will be more study material in later lessons, first we teach home row keys by repeating them, but its always possible to go forward by clicking right arrow on bottom.
