Reviews: What People Think About KAYA: THE CLIMBER’S APP

Rating: 4/5
Lots of potential but still room for improvement. I find myself using it frequently to find beta videos for more obscure problems in my area. I am using this app now as a log similar to 8a. I like Kaya better though, since it has beta videos. Maybe someday you guys can make a separate app for outdoor climbers, because I don’t like the fact that it logs indoor problems in the same place as outdoor problems. Everyone knows indoor problems don’t count.
The only improvements I could ask for are: There’s a bug when submitting older climbs, the scroll function for the date often refreshes and I have to reselect the month, date and year multiple times before it sticks. It also doesn’t save the date occasionally and I have to go back and edit the submission. I also don’t like that it opens the shortened drop down menu when submitting an ascent. I wish it would just open the larger one so I can change the date and add the difficulty without having to expand it every time. The final pet peeve is the extra pop up warning every time you change the date! How many extra steps do I need to do a simple task! I know what I’m doing.
One other thing I wish there was a function for is an option to see what the benchmarks of an area are. Hope this is helpful!

Update: The issue got fixed a bit ago, and is running smoothly again. I’ve been using it more, even when I’m away from my gym that uses KAYA. I’ve found it really helpful for knowing when I should be projecting climbs at harder grades, work on volume, or work on my flash level. It’s great to go into a session targeting one of these points and in the past 3 months has improved my consistency within grades. It is a very statistical approach but it works and has given me more satisfaction out of my climbing, rather than aimlessly chasing a grade that is frankly too hard for me at this point. Thank you to the KAYA team, apps like this push climbing forward and keeps it up to date with changing times. So stoked to see the future of this app and hopefully areas overseas start getting guidebooks on this app.
After updating to iOS 17 on my iPhone 13 mini the KAYA app has been stuck on the logo opening screen. I’ve tried restarting, deleting and redownloading the app, but it still doesn’t work. Aside from that, this app is great, I’ve found it really useful for tracking my sessions, and looking at my ascents helps me to figure out where I need to improve. Hopefully they’re already working on this issue, but I’m excited to continue using it.

Adding another star and rewriting my review because I can tell they are actively working towards improvements. I use this app multiple times a week and am very thankful for the info it provides as well as the community feel from being able to post and interact with posts from others. Some remaining bugs I am aware of:
- When you upload a video, it often gets stuck with the “uploading” UI bar even after upload has completed. I have to quit the app to get it to disappear
- I have lately been getting notifications that there is a new set, but then when I follow the notification nothing is new in the list.
- Sometimes route bubbles disappear when looking at the map view. Quitting the app or navigating to the climb through another breadcrumb trail lets you get there but they’ll still periodically disappear.
- I tried the offline maps/ guidebook via a trial and was disappointed. I wasn’t actually able to load things fully offline and there wasn’t enough information to actually get to the climb(s). It’s not functional enough to replace an actual guidebook and therefore I wouldn’t pay for it at this point in time. I do have hope that it will improve though, given how much progress has been made since I started using the app.
