Poor UX
Unfortunately, I had to reach out to Support to get sound from any track. For example, I had to select an instrument before any sound would come out and this was unintuitive (3 clicks too many in non-obvious places)
When I add a new track, it was nearly impossible to find how to make both tracks at the same time.
Selecting the instrument you want to chord palette to play with was also impossible.
Selecting multiple chords to duplicate as group; calling them verse or chorus or bridge (would be the first things I would’ve thought of) were also not possible.
Great idea for (identifying which chords will go well together, based on a scale given in a song) but poor execution when it comes to actually building songs.
In need of a user experience designer, so that what was obvious developers is also obvious as the rest of the world.

Connectivity
Could u guys enable a feature to allow project files to be transfered from iPhone to Mac
Not just the midi files?
Not just the midi files?
A metronome would really help this app.
Ideas would be easier to flesh out. Klimper helps when I have an idea for a chord progression on my morning commute, but it would really be nice if I can get a base for an entire track whenever inspiration strikes. I feel a metronome would make that easier.
Absolute trash
This is by far the worst music app I have ever used. Customer service is non existent and with each use, there’s a higher degradation of performance.
Good!
I will make my own Minecraft music disc :D
There are a few hard to explain and annoying bugs though

Not satistified
I would like a refund. I was expecting way more flexibility within the app. The app is set up pretty basic.
Klimper doesn’t work
The phone app loaded ok and played ok for a while and then it started producing a very distorted chord sounds and finally it just quit and now doesn’t play at all. Don’t waste your money.
Worth it
I don’t know how it’s only rated 3 stars. You can make some crazy stuff on here. Although I wish they’d add more sounds, I love the way it is.
Buggy, clunky interface
Skip this one - not worth 8.99 to do something you can already do in free apps much more easily. Pick a chord progression or looper free app and it will save you some $
Keeps crashing
Please fix
Distorted audio after first use
This app is horrible! Started out good for first song until I opened up a new project and the midi sound has crackles and weird noises. Then chords won’t play as quarter notes only whole or half time when pressing the chords. More chords are need .... take a look at “Suggester app”...
I'd like a refund
Used it for a few minutes to check it out. Absolutely not worth the money. Very basic and extremely limited control absolutely should be a free app or non existent.
Cool App To Drain Your Battery!
All functionality and coolness of this app is overshadowed by the battery eating feature. This app can use other music apps to generate sound which is neat until you close down Klimper and hours later your iOS device tells you it has 25% battery left and you haven’t touched it all day. So you go investigate in the battery tab in settings, and you find the app that Klimper loaded running in the background and somehow it’s still running. The app isn’t found in the “running apps” view for you to shut it down. There’s no clear instruction on how to shutdown this kind of app. Apple and others will tell you not to do hard shutdowns of apps.... yeah, except for when it’s killing your battery. I don’t even know if doing a hard restart will remove it. Deleting it might be the only option and reinstalling. For this reason, you get 1 star. If Apple allowed users to give a negative value of stars, this would get a -5 stars from me. If I could add a screenshot in a review, I would.
I used the Moog Model 15 app that got stuck. I will promptly change my review again once this issue is resolved. I am adding a star for prompt developer support which most apps lack.

Response from developer
Hi. What app did you use it with for sound generation? Kind regards, Tobias
The app is good, but could be greatly improved
The app is good, and it got a lot better with the new borrowed chords implement, but some of the instruments, the guitar for example, are super quiet and barely make any sound at all, if this were fixed, I’d probably use the app a whole lot more, it’s a fantastic idea, but there’s just a lot of bugs to work out with it

Mixed review
I want to love it, but there is no METRONOME! If there is, I can’t find it. So I tried to create my own but the drum editor doesn’t line up with the Lead. Now what?
For the next update
Can we get a chord inversion button for the next update
Y’all need FLEXIBILITY
- like the fact that the midi sounds are lovely
- hate the fact that there’s no chromatic chords
- hate the fact that I can use borrowed chords
- please get someone with music theory skills if that’s what’s causing the inflexibility

Needs improvement
Drum pad takes up to much of the screen. On iPhone XR you can’t see about 3/4’s of it. Also constantly getting stuck on track tabs with no clear way back to the one you want to work on available. Constantly end up tapping everywhere on the screen hoping something will happen. Pinch zoom rarely functions as intended and the crop/delete/cut feature constantly off screen/un-tappable.

Needs a metronome or grid
I just wish it had some type of grid or metronome, or both so I can see how it loops around and be sure its in time, especially if im exporting a loop
Good idea, not worth $8
There’s very limited features for this. There’s not even a basic piano sound. Also the app pops and clicks when I play sounds
