User Reviews

Users appreciate KAYA's comprehensive climb tracking, detailed statistics, and guidebook features including filters and offline access. The app also offers motivational badges and social interactions. However, many reviews highlight severe performance problems such as lag and slow load times, a clunky interface, and frequent bugs. The shift to a subscription model locking essential features behind a paywall is frustrating for free users. Offline guidebooks sometimes fail to load correctly, and privacy settings are limited. Overall, while the app has significant potential and helpful features, usability and monetization issues detract from the experience.

Pros

Comprehensive climbing tracking and statistics, useful for progress monitoring.
Guidebook features with filters for climb style, grading, and other attributes.
Ability to download guidebooks for offline use, helpful for climbing in areas with poor internet.
Social features and community contributions, enabling added climbs and interaction.
Motivational badges and detailed workload scoring system to encourage climbing improvement.

Cons

Severe performance issues including slow loading times, lag, and unresponsiveness.
Clunky and unintuitive user interface causing navigation difficulties.
Important features locked behind a paid subscription, limiting functionality of the free version.
Offline guidebook downloads often do not work properly or lack information.
Privacy concerns due to forced public social sharing and extensive personal info requirements.

Recent reviews

Sounded like a good idea and still does but it didn't really work. Downloaded the Yosemite guide while out in the valley where the service isn't great and the app was slow and laggy. I have a brand new cell phone so it wasn't for lack of tech. Would consider again if offline guide book service worked.

In principle, this app is great. The need for a great "climbing guide" app is real, and kaya could be it. The problem with pdf topos is that you can't easily update it, and community can't contribute. In Kaya, anyone can add climbs. The main problem in my region (Québec) is that there are no moderators yet, and it's hard to get approved as a moderator. This means no boulder map and no problem description. This should be more accessible. Also, there should be a version without the analysis stuff.
