Kilter Board 4+

I love the Kilter Board Home Wall and the app experience is great. But with most apps there are always opportunities for improvement based in user feedback.

When I’m training by myself I really like the timer feature to help pace my warmups. However, the app doesn’t run in the background which prevents me from using my phone with other apps. If I do this the timer stops until the Kilter Board app open.

I’d love to have a playlist type of feature to structure workouts more easily. I’d like to set specific problems in a sequence and timing. I can use tags but that is more cumbersome.

When ticking off a climb it would be nice to default the rating to whatever it currently is to avoid the extra scrolling. Most of the time I want to just accept the rating.

I’d also appreciate more reporting on climbing stats. Session length, distribution of climbs, etc to help with understanding of how to climb better.

I look forward to future app updates.

The Kilter Board is one of my favorite training tools, and with the route feature, it really takes the experience to the next level. There is always some room for improvement, and things I’d like to see include what others have already said: better visualizations around analyzing my sessions and some sort of benchmark system that helps establish a better baseline for how hard a grade should feel. Overall though, the app in its current state is really solid and never has any issue connecting to the board, loading climbs, or logging climbs.

This app is made for the KilterBoard and super easy to use. If you’re just using it for selecting pre-set problems and routes, it has a handy filter to find the exact type and difficulty of climb you want.

If you have a board or want to set problems, the setting function is very simple. Boulder problems are easy to set and change.

The new “route” feature is super cool and what sets it apart from other training boards.
The route function lets you set multiple “frames” of a climb to make a follow-the-leader type of climb that can be used for setting circuits and true route-length climbs.

The KilterBoard was already next level, but with the functionality of the Aurora app, it’s solidified itself as the BEST training board available.

Customer support is also super helpful and easy to contact. They are also always looking to make improvements, so it’ll keep getting better!
