Klimper for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good app, but I need some more features.Great app, but I want some more features like using other chords. For an example, using Fm chord in C major project..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Needs proper au support with midi!Needs MIDI out for other iOS apps! This great, very fun and inspiring, needs much better inter app midi implementation, especially a way to sync the transport!.Version: 1.2.6
✓ Only SynthI Can only play with a synth and any time I try to press the piano, or shift to another lead the app crashes. And I’m not eligible for a refund even though I purchased it less than 10 minutes ago..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Cool App To Drain Your Battery!All functionality and coolness of this app is overshadowed by the battery eating feature. This app can use other music apps to generate sound which is neat until you close down Klimper and hours later your iOS device tells you it has 25% battery left and you haven’t touched it all day. So you go investigate in the battery tab in settings, and you find the app that Klimper loaded running in the background and somehow it’s still running. The app isn’t found in the “running apps” view for you to shut it down. There’s no clear instruction on how to shutdown this kind of app. Apple and others will tell you not to do hard shutdowns of apps.... yeah, except for when it’s killing your battery. I don’t even know if doing a hard restart will remove it. Deleting it might be the only option and reinstalling. For this reason, you get 1 star. If Apple allowed users to give a negative value of stars, this would get a -5 stars from me. If I could add a screenshot in a review, I would. I used the Moog Model 15 app that got stuck. I will promptly change my review again once this issue is resolved. I am adding a star for prompt developer support which most apps lack..Version: 1.3
✓ No soundWould be a good app if was consistent...some days it works fine other days I get no sounds just crackle but the majority days no sounds I’ve managed to use it a few times.Version: 1.3
✓ Was sold until I bought itCan’t use the whole tone scale. Limited expression.Version: 1.2.10
✓ The app is good, but could be greatly improvedThe app is good, and it got a lot better with the new borrowed chords implement, but some of the instruments, the guitar for example, are super quiet and barely make any sound at all, if this were fixed, I’d probably use the app a whole lot more, it’s a fantastic idea, but there’s just a lot of bugs to work out with it.Version: 1.3
✓ Not optimised for iPhone notchJust started to using this, but the interface needs polishing. And the learning curve is quite steep, looking for updates on rhat.Version: 1.3
✓ A metronome would really help this app.Ideas would be easier to flesh out. Klimper helps when I have an idea for a chord progression on my morning commute, but it would really be nice if I can get a base for an entire track whenever inspiration strikes. I feel a metronome would make that easier..Version: 1.3
✓ Mixed reviewI want to love it, but there is no METRONOME! If there is, I can’t find it. So I tried to create my own but the drum editor doesn’t line up with the Lead. Now what?.Version: 1.3
✓ Great idea, but needs refinementI originally gave this app a One-star review for its interface, whereby the developer replied (very reasonably) with his comments and explanations. I've amended the review because, having spent time with the app, I've learned a few of the intricacies of using it, and the problem isn't so much the interface, it's the lack of tutorials. Those included only cover basics; you'd never know, for example, that you can change your instrument sounds if you didn't think to go looking for it! The tutorial also doesn't highlight the importance of taps and holds. These are ESSENTIAL to enjoying the app. Not knowing when to flick, tap, or hold the screen is the difference between deft use or just constantly clicking the wrong thing over and over. If these intricacies couldn't have been fixed, I feel they could have been highlighted in the tutorial, and before I figured this out, I was having nothing but a rotten time. The developer humbly suggested I seek a refund, but I haven't: once I learned how to use this app, it was wonderfully helpful. I'm new to both music theory and composition, and Klimper has helped me to learn both. But it does need a good few improvements, definitely. It's right for the price, but do expect to spend a lot of time learning its peculiarities..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Needs improvementDrum pad takes up to much of the screen. On iPhone XR you can’t see about 3/4’s of it. Also constantly getting stuck on track tabs with no clear way back to the one you want to work on available. Constantly end up tapping everywhere on the screen hoping something will happen. Pinch zoom rarely functions as intended and the crop/delete/cut feature constantly off screen/un-tappable..Version: 1.2.10
✓ Good idea that needs workThis app is a great idea with lots of potential. The interface is hard to work with however, and there is a bit of a learning curve to use it. It would be really nice to have a way to lock segments of notes, because it’s too easy to accidentally move something around. Also, when you make a note too short, it doesn’t want to drag out to be long again. Hope I can give this app 5 stars someday. It’s a fun way to jam with yourself. :).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Great concept, not for iPhone XFirst warning is that it’s not notch safe, and the notch does disable creation of sections completely. You will have to just do one long section. Editing notes on the notch is also impacted, but it’s doable. If you just want to export midi to arrange in your DAW like me, it’s still worth using, but this is still false advertising. The piano roll is clunky and awkward, but this is always the case with a touch screen. Placing notes is easy enough, but moving, deleting, highlighting and changing length is painful. It does get easier, but the lack of documentation makes it very frustrating, because you get it to work, then try to figure out why it worked. Now, when it comes to writing music, this app really shines. Creating a chord progression is very intuitive, but the highlighted piano roll really is a game changer when it comes to melodies and basslines. The documentation seems to just be some quick videos, but they’re extremely unclear as to how the gestures really work..Version: 1.1.10
✓ Pretty useless on an iPhone XAll of the notes in the step editor are hidden behind the notch. Also when the video is done, the controls are hidden to exit. You have to quit the app and go back..Version: 1.1.15
✓ Distorted audio after first useThis app is horrible! Started out good for first song until I opened up a new project and the midi sound has crackles and weird noises. Then chords won’t play as quarter notes only whole or half time when pressing the chords. More chords are need .... take a look at “Suggester app”....Version: 1.3
✓ Poor UIDespite all the bad reviews I thought I would be able to figure this app out. Unfortunately not however. Most basic of functions are not explained! Refund?.Version: 1.1.17
✓ Absolute trashThis is by far the worst music app I have ever used. Customer service is non existent and with each use, there’s a higher degradation of performance..Version: 1.3
✓ Seemed like a cool idea...Seemed like a great idea, I could start a session anywhere and finish up at my main workstation but upon opening the app I had no piano, Rhodes or and anything that resembled a key played instrument, there where only pads and synths available... not very good sounds to find chords and chord progressions. Didn’t bother going any further than that. Refund please. And if there in there somewhere buried they are way to hard to find and still, ima need my 10 spot back g lol...Version: 1.2.3
✓ Klimper doesn’t workThe phone app loaded ok and played ok for a while and then it started producing a very distorted chord sounds and finally it just quit and now doesn’t play at all. Don’t waste your money..Version: 1.3
✓ Keeps crashingPlease fix.Version: 1.3
✓ ImprovementsThe app is good for brainstorming ideas. However there is only 6 instruments. It would be better if you guys could have a few more cool sounds that we could use..Version: 1.3
✓ Not worth the money at allSince I’ve now I had the app for only 2 days, I have not gone a single time without experiencing buggy issues. The app crashes when being used, plays distorted tones and overall has a frustrating to use operation system. I love the overall concept but would hate to see other people’s hard earned money go down the drain when having the same technical issues I had after spending a hardy $8.99 for an app that seems as if it’s in an early stage of production..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Y’all need FLEXIBILITY- like the fact that the midi sounds are lovely - hate the fact that there’s no chromatic chords - hate the fact that I can use borrowed chords - please get someone with music theory skills if that’s what’s causing the inflexibility.Version: 1.2.10
✓ App would not startPurchased this App and after launching it , a Splash Screen is displayed for around 14 secs and then the App crashes. UPDATE: Author has updated App to v1.1.1 and it starts ok now..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Has issuesNot sure if it's just the iPhoneX, but midi editor does not actually label the notes, and trying to change note length is very difficult. Definitely did not feel as easy as the video tutorial made it seem it would be. Still feels like a but of an unfinished app. Good idea, but poor execution presently..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Half an appI really don't get why this app has not been combined with the developer's other version, to form something better. This one has a play button, but ridiculously omits Midi out, while the other version has Midi out as an IAP, but no play button! Madness. Nic.Version: 1.0
✓ Seemingly great...Except for persistent audio issues. Just installed on fully updated iPad Pro 11 inch, and having issues where there’s no audio until I restart my iPad, which it still happens eventually afterwards. Also synth bass causing a loud pop at beginning of note and then cutting sound. If it weren’t for these major audio issues it would be great..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Still problems with the iPhone XRI saw a review with this app not working for the iPhone X and the developer said he fixed it but I still can’t see the names of the cords due to the camera in the way. And also their need to be a feature in this app we’re you can use the piano cords instead of the names of the cords. Thank you for your time..Version: 1.2.10
✓ Buggy, clunky interfaceSkip this one - not worth 8.99 to do something you can already do in free apps much more easily. Pick a chord progression or looper free app and it will save you some $.Version: 1.3
✓ Very coolThis is a ton of fun to play around with but without AudioBus support it remains in the ‘toy’ department. Would be fantastic to have AB support and hope the developer will consider it..Version: 1.1.11
✓ IssuesThe exporting feature is confusing. First, I can’t figure out how to label my songs. Then once exported the beginning of the tracks cut off in the first chord. This doesn’t seem like a completed work because of these issues. Please fix this. I like everything else so far and I’d hate to have to ask for a refund..Version: 1.1.16
✓ Chord drag and drop function not workingI have just downloaded this app, seems to be a brilliant tool for composing but have no been able to unleash its full potential: I tried to drag and drop the chords on the top bar but it doesn't work. Could the app need a patch?.Version: 1.1.1
✓ 5 mins using and already brokenI would like a refund! I just paid 13.99 for a dud product, it literally crashes within mins, I can not play the chord progressions only the leads.Version: 1.2.8
✓ DisappointingThought this would be better, all a bit of a fiddle, disappointed after the original Klimper was so good! And I paid higher price on release and it was reduced a day later, cheeky!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great potential, missing features and UX issuesFirst of all, this is immediately one of my favorite chord progression sandboxes. Don’t get me wrong. The fact that it integrates with the minimoog Model D synth app to play the notes and supports Ableton/MIDI output is extremely exciting. However, there are some significant missing features that I’d expect from an app claiming to take on the scope that it does such as a metronome, a record button, and setting the timing signature. It’s hard to tell how the chord progression will sound until you’ve already dragged the chords to the odd/uncomfortable band at the top of the screen... would honestly be easier to just record it. It’s like the length in bars is too flexible... let me pick the timing signature (e.g. 3/4) and a fixed number of bars for the loop. Really, I think the UX needs to be rethought a bit and some basic features for recording a track need to be added. With refinement, this could be the best songwriting tool an EDM songwriter could have... right now it feels like more of an open beta. Disappointing to spend $9 on what feels like an unfinished product but I would gladly invest more if the developer(s) stay active..Version: 1.2.10
✓ Started well but....Created my first tune, sounded good but then I closed the app. On reopening it I noticed glitches on playback. Now the app crashes on opening and is unusable. This is a good app that I would like to use but it needs to be more stable. Please fix..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Almost impossible to useI am Iain this on iPhone. Maybe it was designed for more tablet sized devices I’m not sure. I saw the add and purchased this app as it looked perfect. At the moment this app is barely useable, there is no instruction whatsoever on how to operate correctly, just a few very basic videos which offer very little help. My main issue is getting the chords to sound how they do on the pallete page, when drawing them out on the instrument. They never sound right. That’s the whole reason I got this app to play the exact chords I want. Why can’t you just record straight from pallete??????.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Poor UXUnfortunately, I had to reach out to Support to get sound from any track. For example, I had to select an instrument before any sound would come out and this was unintuitive (3 clicks too many in non-obvious places) When I add a new track, it was nearly impossible to find how to make both tracks at the same time. Selecting the instrument you want to chord palette to play with was also impossible. Selecting multiple chords to duplicate as group; calling them verse or chorus or bridge (would be the first things I would’ve thought of) were also not possible. Great idea for (identifying which chords will go well together, based on a scale given in a song) but poor execution when it comes to actually building songs. In need of a user experience designer, so that what was obvious developers is also obvious as the rest of the world..Version: 1.3.2
✓ I'd like a refundUsed it for a few minutes to check it out. Absolutely not worth the money. Very basic and extremely limited control absolutely should be a free app or non existent..Version: 1.3
✓ Keeps crashingI downloaded this a few minutes ago, and the app has plenty of tools and options but it keeps crashing. My phone is up to date so I will update this review again later..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Aight....Honestly this app is pretty much unusable as a beat maker, HOWEVER the chord pallet is an excellent tool for producers/musicians looking to come up with cool chord progressions. I hope this app gets some updates!!.Version: 1.2.10
✓ Waste of money.If you have an iPad Air2 like I have, good luck trying to put notes in and stretch them. This app is useless and I really wish I hadn’t wasted £6.99 on it..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Good idea, not worth $8There’s very limited features for this. There’s not even a basic piano sound. Also the app pops and clicks when I play sounds.Version: 1.2.10
✓ App not working wellDownloaded and seems really buggy. Lots of audio clicks and sound drop outs. Disappointing..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Too PrimitiveThe chords are given only in basic diatonic scales with 0 ability to explore outside of it. This isn’t much better than sitting at my keyboard and playing all the white keys in thirds (hitting the “transpose” button to get different key centers). The sharps and flats are straight up wrong for many of these. Why is it showing me “G#” and “A#” for C minor? C minor is a three flats key. This isn’t hard to program correctly. My last beef is that the chords are played in the most clunky, uninspired voicings possible. Basic root position, in thirds, no spread whatsoever. This app could be so good if JUST THIS was fixed. Give it a bass octave, spread the extensions to the higher octaves, voice things in fifths and fourths, etc. There’s also 0 voice leading from chord to chord, which adds even more to how primitive it sounds. There’s no harmonic motion. Even without letting you escape the diatonic scale, voicing the chords to actually sound good would be way cooler for iOS music production. You already have stored all of these extended chords; just spread their voicings out, and employ some basic internal ability to voice lead even just the extensions..Version: 1.1.10
✓ Pass on this.Ive tried to like this app, but i find myself never actually using it. There's really nothing remarkable about it. It's basic function is without polish. The overall user experience is less than ideal..Version: 1.1.15
✓ A one out of 5 is too high of a ratingDO NOT BUY THIS APP ITS RETARDED BEYOND THE TIME I HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT. I’ll say this. The piano roll has no note names. It the app forces me to create my own chords based on a general C7 chord for example. It simply has a lighter colour on The squares that harmonize with a general C chord. THATS IT. The worst part is the app does not tell me ANYWHERE on the board,on the piano tile, on the side, or on the top, on the bottom, NOWHERE does the app label the name of the note I’m about to add to my supposed “chord”. NO NOTE NAME OR LABEL TO BE SEEN ARE U KIDDING ME DEV? Try playing a drum kit piano roll with no names or even a mark for C3. NOTHING. It is the 100000000% by far the absolute WORST APP IVE EVER SEEN PAID OR FREE AND IT COST ME TEN CANADIAN DOLLARS U US RETARDS. Canada !! DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!! DON’T EVEN DOWNLOAD IT IF ITS FREE!!!.Version: 1.1.3
