I mean, it's an interesting one and I proved myself one more time that my reaction time is still pretty terrible.

Disclaimer: accuracy of the results highly depends on the device you use and the software implementations of the tests. Do not use this app for self-diagnosis. Only designated and certified pieces of medical equipment can be used for accurate medical measurement.

Looks cool :)

typing tests

How can I say... My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.

Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she's old, but because she doesn't know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.

Or am I missing something here?

This is an ego fluffer app, not a scientific study. The accuracy is "good enough" to give you a rough idea of your performance, and if youre really into optimizing WPM, give you a way to track progress or the impacts of using different keyboards.

Getting a high score doesn't actually mean anything except you probably use your phone too much.
