### 4/5 — I rate it a 4

*2022-02-05*

Plz add song tutorials and Sweden-minecraft song tutorials and more songs plz good app Btw !

### 3/5 — Decent.

*2021-05-11*

If I’m being totally honest, I wish it had more keys. And for me, it sounds a bit off- just a bit though. It’s pretty good if you can look past those things!

### 1/5 — Too much Ads！

*2020-10-15*

Too much Ads！

### 4/5 — Like it

*2019-09-13*

I really like this app, it’s beautiful and clean, I just wish the kalimba had more notes. Otherwise, it’s really great.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-03-10*

Locks audio to phone and blocks both plugged in headphones and Bluetooth.

### 3/5 — wish there were more keys

*2018-12-29*

this is great!! i wish there were more keys, though. i can barely play any songs on 9 keys.

### 5/5 — Add a little sparkle to your day

*2018-08-17, version 1.0*

It’s a wonderful little pocket instrument. It’s easy to use, beautiful-looking and sounds magical. I found this app when I was looking for a kalimba tuner as I was investigating in getting a physical one. This is a great little sample for me to experiment with. I love the added little touch of having the sansula option built-in so it’s really two instruments in one! The only little thing I’d love to see in a future update is for the keys to be labelled with the notes. That would help any beginner! Thank you!

### 2/5 — Kalimba

*2018-01-23*

It’s ok but , could you tune it  ? And possibly label the keys.

### 3/5 — OK but needs improvement

*2017-10-09, version 1.0*

It’s a fine little app that captures the sound. The rightmost tone has a muted tone that should be fixed. Also the recordings if the tones are too noisy.

### 5/5 — It's great

*2017-09-17*

I like to fiddle around with every now and then, and I find it soothing. Honestly, as I titled this, it's great.
