I had an older version of Mavis Beacon teaches typing and it was very good. I purchased the new one to use to brush up on my typing. Also, for my granddaughter to learn typing, when she is at our house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this, get the older version
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017
The older version was much more fun with a variety of games and educational material to practice typing. Such as famous literature pieces and speeches. This version is just typing instruction and is too directive requiring one to do this before that....I don't like it at all a waste of my money.

I thought it meant "personal edition" as in not a school edition. Actually, only one person can use it. I have 3 kids that need it. Bummer for me. It is fine for 1 person.

I needed to brush up on my typing skills and this software was very helpful. I liked the presentation. The program takes you through the basics in a way that is instructive and entertaining. I had heard positive things about Mavis Beacon teaching systems and was not disappointed.

It's missing 20 keys! It doesn't teach, or even mention the following keys:
~ ` @ # % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + [ ] { } \ | ! and the '!' doesn't mean exclamation, it means it's missing '!' as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Love How Simple it !
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014
At first, I was a little worry that it wouldn't have any games. But the simple is better than I thought it would be. It gave me a test to see how good I was, set my goals, gave me pointers on finger position, posture and than I was off to the lessons and then skill check. In fact, skill check is the only game I need.
