Ratings and reviews

The app is a fast, responsive, and simple way to interface with the kilter board. Connecting to the board and getting a problem to light up takes less than 10 seconds after opening the app! The part I've been most impressed with was the support team, I notified them of a bug and later saw it patched out. They seem dedicated to improving the app over time and providing the best support they can. Overall, very happy with the kilter board app.

I think this is a good start and gets all of the basics well. When putting together a new concept it's challenging to foresee how people will use the app, which features work well, which won't + what's missing. I hope the folks at Kilter will reflect on this, read the reviews and make the changes people want to see. A big one for me is sharing. - All users should see which problem is on the board. - Problem sharing between users. - Shareable curated lists (warm ups, deadpoints, projects etc.)

Overall a pretty good app, especially compared to competitors like Moonboard (which sets a very low bar, admittedly). Would appreciate it it was not mandatory to fill the "difficulty" field when logging an ascent. I am fairly new to bouldering and I have no idea what each grade should feel like on the Fontainbleau scale. Perhaps the grading system could be simplified to an upgrade/downgrade/ignore mechanism.

What's new

Saving a climb now records the setter's angle. That is the angle the climb was set at. This setter's angle can be seen in the change angle interface and in the climb info interface.
