It is intuitive and easy to set climbs/record/grade then. The community is also another stand out feature. I love setting climbs for others and it makes training much more enjoyable when others set problems for you. Great job! ### 5/5 — Best homewall app *2021-09-27* Amazing App, it works so well, I love the community it has created plus lots of regular updates keeps making it even better. ### 5/5 — Retroflash so much better than other apps! *2021-09-23* It doesn’t ask for your money and is easy to use!!! ### 5/5 — Worth the switch *2021-04-23, version 1.0.13* Lots of useful functions I didn’t realize I was missing! The option to add new holds let me do some fine tuning after I reset my wall. ### 5/5 — Really nice app and community *2021-03-03, version 1.0.12* Great app, easy to use and intuitive. But the community is what stands this apart, setting problems on other walls, having people set you one back really breaks the monotony of training alone. It’s also easy to make private if you don’t want that, winning either way. ### 5/5 — Great spray wall app *2021-02-24, version 1.0.9* Using this for my home wall to add my own boulders and allow community members to set me boulders as well. Great community and well supported by a responsive developer. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2021-02-23, version 1.0.9* If you’re after a way to keep your home wall problems, this is a great and reliable tool. I only have the free version, and it works well. ### 5/5 — Every home wall owner MUST HAVE! *2021-02-23* This app is so fun. Absolutely provided the sense of climbing community I’ve been missing from my climbing gym being closed. Problems/boulders set by other users kept my home wall from ever feeling stale. ### 5/5 — Best Home Wall Problem Setting App *2021-02-08* The app is easy to use. I was able to quickly download the app and set multiple problems all whilst sitting on the porcelain throne. The app even got recommendations from a similar apps developer (how I found it) The small things can be appreciated too like the very retro themed menu. Yeah dude just get this app it’s definitely what you’re looking for if you searched “home climbing, route setting, home route setting, etc.” ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2021-02-07, version 1.0.9* Love it! Was using Spray, but it had lots of bugs. This app is WAY better! Thanks for making home wall setting easy! ### 5/5 — Polished *2021-02-07* Surely the best spray wall/ home board app out there? Really sleek interface. ### 5/5 — A great spray wall app! *2021-02-02* Fast, intuitive, fun. A great spray wall app with a rich set of features and a great interface! ### 5/5 — Quality app for homewalls & spraywalls *2021-01-23, version 1.0.5* Very intuitive interface to upload a wall and set problems for a spray wall. I’ve tried a few other apps like this, but Retroflash is by far the highest quality one I’ve seen for homewalls. ### 5/5 — Great with some navigating *2021-01-11* The app definitely has a learning curve, but the team is incredibly responsive with tips and guidance. So far it’s a small community of people setting each other’s walls but it’s tons of fun. And for free, what more could you really ask for? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrid UI *2025-11-09, version 1.1.1* The ui is just genuinely awful to use ### 1/5 — From Loving to Hating the App *2025-02-05* Dude I loved this App. I have it for over 5 years. It is amazing and I have added over 250 boulders to it. In the last weeks it started to have massive bugs. First I could not see my sends anymore. Now all boulders are set to be unclimbed for all users. All our friends group cant see their sends anymore. All the statistics is gone. This happened to our group of 6 people, all experiencing the same bugs. There is no update / nothing to solve this. What a pity, will look out for another app. ### 2/5 — Was good, no longer let’s me do anything *2023-07-11* The app initially was good. Added a home wall and a buddies home wall. I reset my home wall and wanted to update it on the app. The app won’t let me reset the wall, won’t let me delete walls (they charge $9.99 to add a new wall…this is separate from the $8.99 I unfortunately paid for the “upgrade”). I thought “well this app is now useless” but decided to make a new account to start fresh. Nope. Won’t even let me add a wall because the camera button to add a photo doesn’t do anything. Can’t change the angle of the wall either. So this app is basically useless now and I gave them $8.99 for an “upgrade” which didn’t do a single thing to help out. Wrote to them but have yet to hear back so far. Would really just love to reset and delete current walls. I don’t need fancy outlining tools and other stuff. Just a place to add my wall and save climbs. ### 3/5 — Works Now *2023-07-24* I had written a review about how buggy the app was. Wouldn’t allow me to reset wall, delete walls, or add a new wall on a new account. Nothing worked. Reached out to app support and contacted on Instagram and customer support was zero. I ended up deleting app and reinstalling and this corrected the issue. The app is really nice when working. However, I see my bad review was removed. So I’m taking away a star for the poor/absent customer service. ### 4/5 — Home wall use *2022-11-22* I down loaded it for home wall use. Pretty intuitive, easy to signup, easy to add wall, easy to add routes and new holds. All good but i can’t tell who the app is geared towards. Using it for a home wall seems like the obvious place to use it but it’s not the home page you have to make a few clicks before you are on your wall looking at routes or setting new ones. One thing I would add is a copy route feature if you are trying to just add some feet or intermediate holds to make the same route go at a lower grade. So you could have “route1” & “route1-“ ### 4/5 — Great for Homewall use with minor upgrades could be 5 stars! *2021-02-18* Cannot find how to change/edit the names or grades of existing boulders on my homewall. Would be a nice addition in an otherwise really great app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback :) You can tap on the option icon(3 vertical dots) and select 'edit boulder' if it is either on your wall, or a boulder set by you. The name can be changed if no sends have yet been logged. The grade can always be changed, but please remember that grades defined by sends are valued higher. Therefore, you might have to edit the sends also, which you can do also! ### 5/5 — Thumbs Up *2026-03-11* Very easy and not very expensive compared to other apps that are not really much better. Intuitive and good layout, with many options for upgrades and whatnot if that’s what you’re going for. Yall should add a tick list of all the climbs you’ve done. similar to random system boards that show the number and distribution of grades for the individual. this is more for fun than anything but i think it would be nice since it’s the app i use the most for spray/limit bouldering and it would be nice to see my distribution. ### 5/5 — Extremely functional *2026-01-10* Needed a way to log and keep track of my spray wall boulders. This app does 3 primary things I love… (1) allows me to document boulders (2) organizes the boulders with filters (3) provides the community with the ability to use the spray wall On top of that this is completely free to use. There are options you can pay for but they are a one time fee (NOT a subscription), love that part. I hate subscription instead of one time fees ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-06-24* Cool ### 5/5 — Hee it *2025-03-09, version 1.1.1* Thank god I don’t have to pay ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best Community Spray Wall App *2025-01-13* This is by far the best app for users who have a home wall that many people climb on. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly for home wall setup! *2025-01-05, version 1.1.1* Simple but works like a charm to log your home wall climb, big up for the free app! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-02-11, version 1.1.1* I’ve used a few apps like this for my garage board and none of them match up to this one. Excellent stuff, thanks! ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-01-28* Great app for spray walls!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2023-09-10, version 1.1.1* Epic app. So good. Cheers. ### 5/5 — Amazing and simple for the home-waller *2022-12-06* The title says it all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
