KeyWack for Android

Don’t waste your money like I did.

I read both good and bad reviews. I am not happy with this purchase. Despite the claim, he can still get into other programs. I am constantly having to fight him off, to get back into the app. Waste of time and money.

I installed this for my daughter and after several frustrating minutes of playing with settings, the only way I could get this to do anything was to turn on the option to display ascii characters. My daughter just turned 1 and I’d like her to see the letters and numbers. I’m not at all happy and wish I could get my money back.

My 7 month old loves it so much, I can’t get my computer back from him. He whacks the keys and random stuff happens. What could be better? …. When I downloaded it, it didn’t work.Just a blank screen and when you whacked it, nothing happened. I was very unhappy. But 2 days later I tried it again and it worked. No idea why. … Command Q turns it off. Sometimes my baby whacks the keys and it pops over onto another screen or window, so you kind of have to watch while he’s doing it.

It's a good idea. It is similar to a window's based program that I love (that was quite a bit more) called Baby Type. I wish they would make a Android version. Anyway, the idea is to be able to let the kid go nuts on your keyboard or with the mouse and not have to worry, but this isn't quite baby proofed. One hting about baby type I like is that the keys are consistently one value sound, but there are multiple values for each key. So "C" would be "C" or a cat that meow's. I like that because my son LOVES to hear the kitty cat meow but it's so hard to get it to do any one sound so I find myself hitting keys a bunch to try to get it to play the cat again. Another thing I mentioned before is the lack of baby proofness. (Like that word). So baby type the mouse isn't baby proofed but the keyboard is. All keys can be pushed, and none of them do anything. No matter the combination. Unfortuantely the Command plus another key combo does happen on accident. But even still- many of the top keys on the keyboard have a function and the mouse gestures will pull up the desktop. Either way, I find myself intervening frequently to get the screen off the desktop, the preferences menu, the dock, etc. There needs to be a way to have it worry-free. Either to make the Command combinations take a few seconds to make sure it's deliberate and also disable gestures and function keys at the top so that you don't accidentally end up on another screen. That would make this app 5 stars and worth the purchase price and more. I paid $20 for baby type and have been pleased with it so with the right tweaks I think a lot of parents would happily buy this app for $1.99 or even a little more. I'm not suggesting $20 but just as an example- the more baby friendly it is, the more valuable to the parent it becomes!
