## What is Moon Climbing?

The new MoonBoard App is designed to support the new redesigned MoonBoard website and both standard and LED MoonBoards.

What is the LED MoonBoard?

The MoonBoard LED system brings easy identification of problems to the MoonBoard. Beneath each MoonBoard t-nut position is an LED light, which is controlled by our MoonBoard App. When the user selects a problem on the App, the holds that make up that problem are illuminated by their corresponding LED lights.

Our new LED system gives users access to 1000s of MoonBoard problems in just a tap and a swipe, making the MoonBoard training facility even more user-friendly and accessible than ever before.

### 5/5 — Better than Kilter or Tension

*2023-07-18*

I think the app is severely underrated and has a much better and simpler interface than either the Kilter board or Tension board apps. The board setup is easy and obvious to choose, there are HUNDREDS of benchmark problems, the log book/stats page is impeccable, filtering problems is easy, you can even find problems by a hold, etc. My favorite is the ability to bookmark problems by a simple swipe up, as well as very easily creating lists. On top of that, it’s easy to find your own problems, your sends, projects, etc. All the benchmark problems also have the previous sends logged and plenty of different beta videos. The problems themselves—I have a slight bias—also feel more fun and realistic than tension or kilter the majority of the time. Lastly, not to be forgotten, the app is WAY more aesthetically pleasing and doesn’t get boring to stare at hour after hour.

### 5/5 — Moonboard app

*2023-06-12*

This app has been really good so far and I like that I can easily make my own problems. Not sure why there is so many bad reviews.

### 5/5 — It works

*2023-04-16*

I think this app is perfect it does the thing you want it to do and you can make problems and do other peoples problems just signing up is a little hard to do.

### 1/5 — Worst app for board climbing

*2023-04-03*

I love your boards but why does your app keep resetting passwords and locking me out? Even after I reset the password it still won’t let me in. This has happened quite a few times. 
Why can’t you have a version that simply lets you climb? I spent 20 mins of my 1 hour session trying to login to train in your board. 
Please make a change.

### 2/5 — Let me remove a problem from a list!

*2023-03-22*

That’s all, I haven’t had any other problems with this app other than that, but without this feature the lists are kinda useless.

### 3/5 — CHANGE TO KILTER APP

*2023-01-13, version 9.3.6*

I’ve used almost every board over the years (except the new decoy board- looks sweet) and all the apps have been pretty similar with the UI and user friendly EXECPT the moon board. I know that the same developers made several of these apps but the moon app seems to be lacking in features, functionality, and user experience. I just wanna say that I love the moon board and just want to see the app change for the better. If it is possible to do something similar to the kilter app that would be ideal. (Ex. Zooming in on holds, publishing climbs above logged grade, better/easier search filters, adding designated feet only, being able to make the finish other holds than just the top row, and more stuff to make the app better) EDIT: changed from 2 to 3 stars. I was too harsh…

### 3/5 — Please improve the timer function

*2023-01-12, version 9.3.6*

The timer function seems like it would be awesome but there are a few serious limitations. 

1) when the timer is active the screen auto-lock isn’t disabled. So during a set you have to run over and constantly tap the screen to not have it blank out

2) the timer doesn’t support music playing from another app. What a buzz kill to get ready for some 4x4’s and then have your music cut out as soon as you start climbing. 

Please fix!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible UI/UX

*2022-11-16, version 9.3.6*

I didn’t know an app could be this non-intuitive to use but here we are.

### 2/5 — Why is the board good but the app so bad?

*2022-10-12, version 9.3.6*

I wanted to get back into the moonboard after a long time away and using the tension board. This app is painful to use for so many reasons and worst of all is my iphone7 is not bluetooth compatible with the moonboard led system. Second biggest complaint it how long it takes to mark a climb completed. I couldnt care less about my global ranking i just dont wanna redo climbs i have alredy done. Put a little effort into the app because the board it really good

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-09-27, version 9.3.6*

Won’t load. Useless app
