### 4/5 — Приложение прекрасно!♥️

*2026-08-11*

Но есть минусы:1.например чтобы поменять инструмент (пианино и тд.) нужно заплатить деньги.
2. Нету нот в приложение чтобы играть по ним.
На этом больше не-чего плохого не вижу дальше плюсы.

### 5/5 — it’s like a real instrument!

*2026-06-19, version 7.2*

To be honest I have a kalimba myself and a few other instruments such as the piano but it feels like a piano version of the kalimba but sounds cuter when you tap one of the top notes! And plus you can make music!
It’s Amazing

### 5/5 — beginner but fun

*2026-06-06, version 7.2*

U need a tutorial for all songs just to improve

### 5/5 — So cute, very fun! One request…

*2026-05-22, version 7.2*

I love this little app so much! There are so many ways to customize it with the colors, instrument sounds, tine labels, etc. The free version really is a complete app with all the features you need to have a good experience. The only thing I wish it had was the option to change the tines to a pentatonic scale. I know that’s not very common on Kalimbas, but it would be a cool option to have for this virtual one! Thank you to the creator of this app for putting in so much care and effort! <3

### 5/5 — 5 Star!

*2026-05-20, version 7.2*

I really like this app and since I now interest instruments, this app is perfect! I really like how you can customize the background and the tines and I love the black dot. It is so cute! I recommend this app to other people that are interested in instruments!  (⑅•ᴗ•⑅)

### 5/5 — 학교 칼림바 연습에 사용해요^^

*2026-05-17*

안녕하세요~ ‘키림바’ 앱을 잘 쓰고 있는 중1입니다! 저희 학교는 학교 수행평가 중에 음악엔 칼림바가있는데요^^ 아무래도 사지않는 이상 연습하기 어려워서 학교에서만 했더니 실력이 조금 딸리더라고요.. 그러던중에 ’키림바’라는 앱을 발견했어요! 다른 앱들은 구체적으로 묘사되어있어 귀엽고 예쁜걸 좋아하는 저에겐 별로였는데..요 앱은 너무 귀엽고 심플하더라구요>< 소리부터 타인 개수 조절도 가능해서 넘 잘쓰고 있습니당..! 칼림바앱 고민중이시라면 ‘키림바’ 추천 드릴게요~ ♡

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-05-14, version 7.2*

### 1/5 — Why is there a black circle

*2024-08-18, version 6.7*

I hate black circles

### 1/5 — I love this

*2021-08-14, version 6.3*

I love this because it is calming

### 2/5 — Can’t hit tines next to each other

*2024-09-24, version 6.7*

App is cute but it’s extremely tricky to hit tines next to each other which means there is very little you can actually play beyond just goofing around

### 2/5 — help keys are backwards

*2024-07-15, version 6.7*

my keys are like backwards and it's kinda ruining my whole experience and i don't like it at all i need help please help me😟😟

### 2/5 — Delay on one of the keys.

*2023-03-22, version 6.7*

There is a noticeable delay of around 30ms when triggering the 7th key on the far right of the Kalimba.

### 2/5 — ehh

*2022-07-14, version 6.5*

Bad and not fun but maybe that's cause I'm not interested in music.
 i dont like how it sounds.
Add more pride flags that's good tho

### 2/5 — Good app

*2022-04-16, version 6.5*

Tines cost money? I changed the tines without knowing and idk if I will get charged

### 3/5 — Долго загружалось

*2026-04-23*

Загружалось минут 20-30

### 3/5 — Woke Alert

*2025-10-07, version 7.2*

I like having something safe and simple with no hidden messaging.  This app sounds nice and my kids like to occupy some spare time playing notes. But….

When you want to change color the very top color change you can make is the lgbt+…. Flag.  I don’t appreciate this.  Can’t we just have something for what it is.

### 5/5 — ШИККК

*2026-08-20*

всё нравится! (так ещё и в цвет ориент.))

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE! A little suggestion..

*2026-08-01, version 7.2*

This app is very fun and i like to learn songs on this app but should add a song selection and the app should help you learn it!

### 5/5 — Almost perfect (still 5 stars)

*2026-07-28, version 7.2*

I love this so much, it’s like an actual kalimba and you can change tune, reverb, and something called fine tuning! It made me want an actual kalimba, and if I bring my iPad with me, I can play kalimba anywhere! Only downside is that changing the sound of the instrument cost money and there’s no thing to help tune, good thing I don’t own a kalimba!

### 5/5 — I play sayo-Nara on Keylimba heheh

*2026-07-26, version 7.2*

So, I love this app it’s so cool to make little songs or copy sum, :) I usually play sayo-Nara or just Monika! I’m also using this app for a song I’m making

### 5/5 — This game is adorable I love the design it’s a fun little thing to do so 5 stars it’s amazing!!!!!🤩

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!

*2026-07-12, version 7.2*

This all calm me down whenever I feel strong emotions which is often I love it!

### 5/5 — Five stars! (But one suggestion!)

*2026-07-10, version 7.2*

I love this app! But, I have one suggestion. If you could maybe put a“References“ page on the app, like notes to play songs to start off on, that would be very good! If you listen to my suggestion, that would make my entire year!☺️
