## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Report

*2025-08-01, version 2.10*

Not useful

### 1/5 — Buzzes

*2023-05-04, version 2.8*

Terrible. Each tine buzzes incessantly.  Audio static making impossible to use.

### 3/5 — High potential

*2022-12-02, version 2.8*

This app is nice however there are just a few things that would make this app a 5-star app.

1. Allow the tabs to be able to be practiced in a loop. So I don’t have to keep hitting play.

2. If I make a long tab or load a tab, allow me to be able to define the section that I need to repeat and maybe allow me to type the amount of times I wish to repeat that section.

3. Please let me turn off the menu sounds. That sound is so loud and I don’t like to hear it for every single button that I press.

Onto the features that I absolutely love ❤️:

I love how I can make my own tabs. I also love the fact I can switch between standard tab mode and regular sheet music 🎼 mode. That feature alone is amazing! 

I just found this app a few days ago. As I go through it, I will update this review. I will also add stars ⭐️ if these features can be added. Thank you for your time.

### 3/5 — Cher pour peu de morceaux

*2020-03-24*

Contrairement d’autres équivalents gratuits, les répertoires sont très limités, même avec l’offre payante. Ce sont essentiellement de morceaux asiatiques donc si on ne connaît pas les références, ça laisse encore moins de choix. 
De plus le son de l’instrument (plusieurs styles) est vraiment très artificiel.

### 3/5 — I want to use this app even better.

*2020-01-08*

Please fix the bug and update.

### 3/5 — Gaahhhhh 😩

*2019-11-01, version 2.5.1*

Ok.  On one hand I see the potential to really enjoy a great resource here.  HOWEVER, being brand new to this nifty little kalimba, my frustration level is off the chart because I am trying to follow along BUT ITS STILL SCROLLING TOO FAST EVEN AT 0.5!!!!!!!   any chance you can have a setting for us less-than-dexterous few who are trying their darndest to hit the right tines?  Once I learn where they located, THEN I can increase my autoscroll!  Please?! I’m almost in tears here ... please?? 😢

### 5/5 — I really like your app but

*2022-07-22*

I have hard time playing it on my phone (iPhone 11 pro) because sometimes the tiles don’t respond to touch or when playing chords some tiles in the middle of the chord don’t respond. 
I like that I can connect it to my kalimba and notes recognition works very well, I would like it more if it be possible to see tabs or tablatures in full screen for songs as well.

### 5/5 — Super App👍👍👍👍👍

*2021-03-30*

Das App funktioniert richtig klasse und es macht enorm viel Spaß, damit zu spielen.

Das neue update ist großartig gelungen und bringt sehr viel interessante Einstellungsmöglichkeiten.

Durch die "Internet-Bibliothek" stehen eine Menge Musikstücke zur Verfügung - da ist für jeden Geschmack was dabei.

Der Entwickler beantwortet Mails sehr nett und umgehend - ein besonderes Plus!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-12-31, version 2.7*

I love this app so much, it’s therapeutic. Start it and you won’t want to stop.

### 5/5 — Lots of tabs

*2019-09-11, version 2.5.1*

This app can connect sounds from real Kalimba so you can play the tabs from your own Kalimba. That’s the killer feature. No more searching the internet for tabs. They all here. I upgraded to no ad version. Worth it

### 5/5 — Works

*2019-08-03, version 2.5.1*

Works like advertised the vip version isn’t necessary but the ads do get annoying so ehh but it detects the correct notes when playing the songs
