### 1/5 — We didn’t used to need an account

*2026-07-07, version 5.0.9*

I do not want to think about a privacy policy to use a board I pay my gym to maintain

### 3/5 — Good but could be a lot better

*2026-04-17, version 5.0.9*

Make the app more user friendly. It feels very clunky and not intuitive at all.

### 1/5 — Developers taken down kilter board app unexpectedly for kilter and its users

*2026-03-27, version 5.0.9*

Developers taken down kilter board app unexpectedly for kilter and its users. All user data is lost, trust to developers is also lost.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-02-14, version 5.0.9*

Easy to use with amazing service!

### 5/5 — Great App, Responsive Team

*2026-02-12, version 5.0.8*

I noticed a small issue with the app and sent a support ticket, expecting that like every other company it would go to a void and maybe eventually get fixed.  Nope.  I got an email from a real person just hours later letting me know the fixed app was submitted for App Store review and sure enough the issue was fixed for me the next day!  Amazing support.

### 5/5 — Previously Worked on macOS

*2025-12-31, version 5.0.5*

Hi guys. Thanks for making the app installable on mac; I keep it open when watching Board Lords videos to help see the route. Unfortunately I just updated to the latest app version (5.0.5) and was seeing “x did not load” type popups for every interaction on macOS Tahoe 26.2. I have reverted back to my previous app version (4.3.3) and it works again. 

Not deducting any stars since this app probably isn’t really intended to be ran on mac anyways. Cheers

### 3/5 — Good app but very flawed rating & grading system

*2025-12-20, version 5.0.5*

Sending forces you to grade and rate the route immediately. Because you can’t take your time to consider it, and you have to give an opinion, people just pick whatever it currently is listed as. This makes the crowd sourced grade and rating pretty much useless.
If they solve this problem and make this information reliable it would be a fantastic app.

Introducing some routes that are graded by experts rather than the voting system would be very helpful to show people what the grade expectations are too.

The video instructions are nice, but they’re very inconvenient for quick referencing, so searching online for text instructions was more convenient at the gym.

### 1/5 — They use AI

*2025-11-29, version 5.0.5*

When I first had the app, there was never a “workout Ai” icon. But after the new update there was.

### 5/5 — Pretty much the best board app

*2025-10-27, version 5.0.5*

Simple and easy to use. Possibly would like to see a few UX improvements such as icons or better filter grouping to speed up certain processes. But overall the functionality is fast and easy to use, with plenty of options, albeit displayed in quite a long form.

### 5/5 — Please share my wife

*2025-08-18, version 4.6.3*

ITS LIKE THE DECOY BOARD BUT ACTUALLY FUN
