Kalimba Connect Wiki

I love this app but i would like for there be a choice to have both numbers and letters like a real kalimba but i still love it because I get to learn and play new songs and I had this for a long time already I got this because I wanted to buy a Kalimba and so this app really made me want one and now I have one and I get to learn how to play new song on my Kalimba from this app! Thank you so much!😁

I love this app and don’t get me wrong there are a lot of songs but not a lot of songs that I’m interested in learning. I would like more English songs, that is really the only issue I have. Other than that I love this app and it has taught me a lot

I can figure the songs out on my own Kalimba if I slow it down enough and gradually increase the speed. However, I really wished that the recognition feature worked because that would make it a lot easier and I might actually pay for the premium version

This is a great app. I love how there is a global leaderboard. The only issue I really have with this app is there is no way to delete an account. For my own reasons, I would like the option to delete some of my accounts and have them taken off the global leaderboard. Please add the feature to be able to delete accounts.

So I tried to turn on the irl kalimba recognition thing, and it didn’t work. I went into the settings since the app never even asked for mic perms. Don’t you need to enable mic perms to use the recognition?! Somebody please fix this, I was really excited when I found this app because of the recognition stuff.

This app has so many features that many people would pay for, available hassle-free and actually free. But basic manual playing and retuning is obstructed by the design of the menus, for the purpose of triggering ads. Why? Do you not see it should be the other way around?

Seems more like a fun, interactive game rather than a tool to learn how to play the kalimba. That being said it was fun to play with and nice that it would stop for you to get the right note instead of buzz an ugly noise at you when you got it wrong.

Not sure if I’m doing it wrong or if the recognition feature doesn’t work lol I am playing as loud as I can and it still doesn’t pick up

The music is the same that you’ll find tabs for Kalimba with much being Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese music, but pretty. The problem I have with the app is that the timing is poor in dropping the notes. Each measure is fine, but the count at the end coming into the next measure is not right. Maybe this is an Asian thing but western music is timed carefully in each measure. So playing the music the way it ought to sound is off. Either I play the notes to hurry up and wait or if I slow it down there is a lag and then the background music is off. It is strange. If you could fix this then it would be nicer. I do like the app though and if I find it was operator error (my mistake in using the app) then I will come back to change my review. I have only been using it an hour, but I do play the Kalimba

I was super excited to find an app that has so many songs I’m an American otaku so I was happy I knew quite a few songs on this app. But I can’t get the recognition to work at all I uninstalled and reinstalled it twice and nothing it shows it’s picking up sound but I can’t play on my own Kalimba. Do I have to pay for the full version to use it?

Unlike what the app leads you to believe, it can’t actually sync with the audio from your real kalimba. It has a button to turn on music recognition but it doesn’t actually do anything. Real bummer, I guess it would be alright if you don’t have a real kalimba but if you do it’s not helpful in learning to play.

I just ordered my first Kalimba and downloaded to practice and learn some songs. My issue is; the timing is off somehow. Like I know a song and I’m like it’s not that slow. My biggest thing is I want to turn off that background sound and there’s no way to do it. It’s annoying and clicks, I just want the Kalimba sounds

I’ve had this app for a few weeks and I love it when it works. But most of the time there is no sound! I’d give it 4 stars if it worked every time but I have to turn off the app, clear the phone and restart the phone before the sound comes back. I’m playing “the sounds of silence” but not on purpose!

It doesn’t even use the microphone, it doesn’t ask for permissions and in settings there isn’t a microphone option. It doesn’t hear the kalimba and you can’t play the song without it hearing that you hit the kalimba note. It does have lots of songs though, but you have to upgrade for a lot of them. Doesn’t matter if I can’t play them though does it😂
