### 5/5 — Love love love

*2024-01-02*

Absolutely appreciate an app to help level up. Especially on apple. Please keep adding tricks! And we need a friending button, friendlist, and friend only group options for ranks. You guys are killing it and I can’t wait to see what this turns into

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-06, version 1.0.1(8)*

### 5/5 — Kendamanomics

*2023-12-02, version 1.0.1(8)*

Actually a great app, every kendama player should DEFINITELY get this.
So much to learn, and good to see how your fair in the leaderboard.
Props to the guys doing this!

### 5/5 — Having trouble with uploading double earth turn clip

*2023-11-25*

I can upload all my clips except the double earth turn so i cant finish the birch category its very frustrating but other than that this app is sweeet

### 5/5 — really cool app

*2023-11-16, version 1.0.0(1)*

i would like to pick handplan kendamas as supported brand but they are not listed :/

### 5/5 — A place to learn and level up

*2023-11-12*

Lotus Kendama’s Isaac just released a fantastic dama app. 5 tiers of tricks ranging from basic to master are offered and a scoreboard for friendly competition and motivation is included. On top of that, your submission is reviewed and approved by the man himself with feedback if needed. This is a great way to learn new tricks, set kendama goals, and have some fun. Lots to dig into and more to come per Isaac.

### 1/5 — Did Admin stop looking at reviews?

*2025-11-21*

Was absolutely loving having this app help track my progress as only being 2 months into Kendama. And it’s been 2 weeks now and the previous tricks I’ve laced have either been ignored or yet to be reviewed yet somehow two weeks later.

### 1/5 — Clunky and bugged

*2025-11-06*

More thought should have been made when making this app. It’s not good at all. Bugs and app closes on its own or crashes when in the middle of playing with the app.

### 3/5 — Little slow

*2026-03-02*

I like the app and the concept is awesome, it took a week for my first batch of trick to get reviewed. But since then I’ve added tricks daily and I haven’t got a single reviewed trick in 2 weeks. I’m sure it’s just folded into a large list of others waiting for reviews, but it would be super cool if it went a little faster.

### 3/5 — Annoying Ads

*2024-12-06*

Used to be an amazing app that helps players level up. Then they added pay to play certain pro tricks and now they’ve added the most annoying ad pop up just to get money from their users. $7.99 a month to get rid of the ads is ridiculous.

### 4/5 — Lot of potential

*2026-04-04*

Please note this review is after 5 days of use. I may change if I find something or am educated in something that contradicts what I’m about to say. 
I already have been practicing for like a year so I was excited to just knock out as many tricks as I could so I can see where I am on the progress points. I already found tricks I have never heard of, and some that are challenging. I love how easy it is to navigate the tricks and see examples. But here are some of my critiques
Biggest one is how long it takes to get your tricks verified. I love the idea of this kind of being like a kendama Duolingo app, but there should be a faster system to verify that you did the trick. I think even an honor system for less advanced tricks would be amazing. I also think a daily streak counter would be helpful. I wish I could start/pin a few tricks that I can go back too if it takes me a few days to learn them, or maybe even allow me to make a custom trick list of tricks I’m Working on. I also think a way to upload your own tricks to get verified as a new trick would be really cool. 

Last thing which is just a personal gripe. I am happy to support the app but this app and the culture doesn’t seem in line with a subscription model. I think especially with the app being in early production a one time purchase for add free content would be good for all parties involved but it could just be my genuine hatred for everything being subscription live service these days. 


Keep it up I will keep uploading I just hope my stuff gets verified soon.

### 4/5 — Amazing but could be optimized

*2025-09-15*

After being hooked on how fun it is to progress and compete with leaderboards and trick progression ive noticed some things that could use updating. For started when you post a trick that doesnt get approved and you remove it to re-submit it will give u the point but still have a red X over the trick, for example ive done all 20/20 on beech and they all counted but it shows a red X on big cup (no spike) somehow. This is very frustrating for me cuz it’s satisfying to have all green checks. Also I supported the game with the 7.99 a month to remove adds and full access however it feels lackluster. Other than the adds being removed I feel absolutely nothing changed, on top of that in settings you can buy it again even if you have it. Lastly is the inability to position your PFP, I want to use a specific kendama pic but it cuts off due to not being able to edit it. Other than nit picking and some quality of life changes this app is seriously one of a kind (literally), def recommend if your new or super good at kendama and want a fun way to compete or track progress!

### 4/5 — The ads are abhorrent.

*2025-03-08*

Love the app but on god the most annoying ad pop ups of all time.

If you’re uploading a batch of tricks be prepared to click off the add once every 3-5 tricks so they can claim high click through rates on the ads when they quote ad prices to other dama companies

### 4/5 — Enjoying the progression!

*2024-07-05*

Relatively simplistic app, that has given me a great incentive to keep pushing myself and learning new tricks, or variations on tricks that I hadn’t previously tried. Thanks to Lotus for making this! Some updates I would LOVE to see in the future would be a friend system where you can find & see your buddies kendamanomics score, as well as brief trick descriptions included on each trick page.

### 4/5 — Best Kendama app

*2023-11-30, version 1.0.1(8)*

Super cool app. Helps you to get better. -1 Star because of the design and performance, this could be better.

### 5/5 — I love kendamanomics

*2026-06-10*

Best Dama app

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-10*

The app is absolutely amazing; I have learned many tricks and documented progress through the app.
I would love to see these updates. 
•Friends search, add and follow. 
• a personal tab where can you upload clips with  your own title.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-16*

This app always helps me get back into the groove with kendama if I go a bit without playing. Thankful for this app!

### 5/5 — Awesome app with room to grow!

*2026-02-26*

I really like this app, it’s great at tracking your progress and coming up with new tricks to try! With that said I think there is definitely room to grow. 

Two features I would love to see in the future include the ability to save tricks to try later, adding friends to see the tricks they have hit!

### 5/5 — Can’t make an account

*2026-02-20*

I’d love to use this app, but unfortunately when I try to make an account it flags my last name and email address (containing my name) as inappropriate language. Would love to get this fixed

### 5/5 — Didn’t get toms tricks even tho I paid

*2025-11-01, version 1.5.3*

Yo guys love nomics been grinding for a while, decided to purchase toms trick section and it’s not loading them and saying I still have to pay, even tho the money has left my bank

### 5/5 — What the community needed

*2025-08-28, version 1.5.2*

Kendamanomics is currently the best way to learn new tricks and track your progressing in Kendama.
It has very well built and documented beginner to advanced 
even to pro trick lists. Definitely a must have for anyone taking seriously their kendama journey.

Sure, the app is not the most refined UI and design, but it’s the best at what it does 🙌

Thanks for building this! Keep the good work up guys 🫶

### 5/5 — Can't beat it

*2025-04-04*

Got me out of the same tricks and has given me progress, over 400 tricks done in a few months! Has a few little bugs but nothing major. Thanks for creating something so useful for kendama!

### 5/5 — Nomics grinders rise up

*2024-09-06*

11/10 app for every kendama player of any skill level

### 5/5 — top top top

*2024-04-17, version 1.1.1(18)*

L’app est parfaite pour se motiver à rentrer plus de tricks et pour en connaître d’autres qu’on aurait pas imaginé. 
L’inventaire de nos réussites sont aussi un super aspect de kendamanomics car on peut voir les vidéos qu’on a envoyé quand on le souhaite. 
Super pour les débutants et les moins débutants !!
