I can’t figure out which song is it until I click in. Please correct it. Can’t find the song with original name. ### 3/5 — stressing out *2023-06-05, version 4.1* pls let me know how to connect my klimba to your kalimba connect app i wasnt able to see a recognition tab where i can play my physical kalimba along with your app this is so frustrating ### 2/5 — Random rhythms *2022-04-03, version 4.1* Makes no sense, unmusical ### 2/5 — No Sound :( *2022-03-30, version 4.1* There is unfortunately no sound ### 4/5 — Was really good as practice *2021-11-13, version 4.1* But unfortunately doesn’t work on iOS 15 now. ### 2/5 — Fun but. . . *2021-07-02, version 4.1* I’ve had this app for a few weeks and I love it when it works. But most of the time there is no sound! I’d give it 4 stars if it worked every time but I have to turn off the app, clear the phone and restart the phone before the sound comes back. I’m playing “the sounds of silence” but not on purpose! ### 3/5 — What Happend? *2021-05-29, version 4.1* My sound don’t work and my volume is all the way up I don’t know why they have 5 stars pls respond pls I really want help with the sound. I’m trying to be nice and calm as possible Thank You! ### 3/5 — Way too many adverts *2021-02-08, version 2.4* I’ve just got a Kalimba and I think I’d like this app but I really can’t cope with all the adverts so unless there’s a way of stopping them then I won’t be using it. It wastes too much time waiting for them to finish ### 3/5 — Wish Recognition Worked *2021-01-01, version 2.4* This would be an awesome app if the recognition worked. I want to learn to play songs on my own Kalimba. ### 4/5 — Vertical !, *2020-12-26, version 2.4* Sería perfecta, de 5, si tuviese modo vertical... ### 4/5 — Great Game Overall *2020-12-11, version 2.4* This is a great app. I love how there is a global leaderboard. The only issue I really have with this app is there is no way to delete an account. For my own reasons, I would like the option to delete some of my accounts and have them taken off the global leaderboard. Please add the feature to be able to delete accounts. ### 4/5 — Recognition?? *2020-12-10, version 2.4* So I tried to turn on the irl kalimba recognition thing, and it didn’t work. I went into the settings since the app never even asked for mic perms. Don’t you need to enable mic perms to use the recognition?! Somebody please fix this, I was really excited when I found this app because of the recognition stuff. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recognition mode *2022-10-06* Recognition mode doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Falls advertisement. *2021-10-24, version 4.1* They say it’ll detect your kalimba so you can follow along with the app but it doesn’t. They never updated their software for it to do that. I bought a vip membership and still got nothing. Don’t waste your money based for this feature. Other than that it’s alright but there are better/cheaper apps out there. ### 1/5 — Chán *2021-10-09, version 4.1* Quá nhiều quảng cáo ### 1/5 — Ứng dụng như lồn *2021-09-30, version 4.1* Nghe đã như đấm vào tai rồi còn hay quảng cáo ### 1/5 — App không có tiếng *2021-09-30, version 4.1* App mở lên không có tiếng! ### 1/5 — Daym, that's so ez *2021-04-28, version 4.1* Those songs are so EZ, there are no chords, just melody, and this just like a simulator, u can not even play it with your real kalimba ### 1/5 — Beaucoup de bugs *2021-03-03, version 3.1* De nombreuses fonctionnalités buggées, aucun support et jamais de changements dans les musiques de la communauté (encore un bug?). ### 1/5 — Note recognition? Doesn’t work *2020-12-26, version 2.4* I’ve tuned, retuned my Kalimba. I’ve tried every setting. Nothing works. I can see the microphone symbol is showing that it is hearing the notes, but it just doesn’t recognize I’m playing the same note it wants me to. Even though I am, and I’m in tune. There is a setting to change note recognition to approximate from absolute, still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Para vermeyene ses yok *2020-12-12, version 2.4* Kesinlikle ses çıkmıyor Satın alırsanız belki ### 1/5 — 5 dkka içinde sildim *2020-12-07, version 2.4* Boş bi uygulama yüklü kaldığı 5dkkada reklamla geçti. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kalimba *2023-12-06, version 4.1* It’s fun and great when you have long waits at doctors offices ### 5/5 — I’m all thumbs *2022-11-07, version 4.1* Great game very addictive ### 5/5 — 希望 *2022-05-28, version 4.1* 希望語言能新增中文、看不懂很難使用 不知道音樂能不能自行編輯？ 音樂如何新增？ ### 5/5 — Great Tutorial *2022-04-29, version 4.1* Very User Friendly 🤓 ### 5/5 — so good:0 *2021-12-01, version 4.1* i very like is app<3 ### 5/5 — cool app *2021-05-31, version 4.1* cool. can try out the notes with real kalimba🌟🌈 ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-03-07, version 3.1* I love this app a lot ### 5/5 — 5 sao *2021-02-15, version 2.4* Mới tải chơi thử bài thần thoại, thấy hay quá tuiii cho 5 sao luôn, mấy app đàn khác toàn tính phí có này miễn phí thích quá trời!! ### 5/5 — Woa *2020-12-13, version 2.4* Rất hay ### 5/5 — Tuyệt vời *2020-10-07, version 2.4* Very good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
