What's New in Boardsesh

2.2.1

July 8, 2026

Bluetooth bug fix

User reviews

Great progress. Please add circuit and timer features!

I would love to see a timer feature added that enable auto-advancing between problems (eg cycle through a playlist at set intervals) Eventually a “route” feature would be amazing to create longer problems with holds that progressively light up for a set amount of time then turn off (enabling longer circuits around the board)

User friendly

Marco stepped into the gap after Aurora Kilter debacle and not only produced a usable app but a superior product. He has proven to be responsive to feedback with any glitches by rapidly addressing them. This app facilitates community by making it easy for a crew to use during a session. Best thing I can say about it.

awesome!

incredible alternative to the kilter app

Pretty ok

This app is pretty good compared to the old kilter app, and definitely Some complaints would be the disconnect button not working, not having a built in auto disconnect service, and the strangeness of the session feature with others. It doesn’t seem to work very well, and you can’t search for new climbs without automatically putting them up on the wall. If these things got fixed it would probably be a five star app.

Response from developer

We agree the old 1.2 app had some weird quirks due to it being a web app in a app jacket. We completely rewrote the app to be native, and use liquid glass ui for the app. Lets us know if things have improved for you

Awesome app!

Great app that you can use with Kilter, Tension, Moon and I believe other boards. No more need for multiple apps, plus the new kilter app is horrible so kudos to this team!!!
