## Review summary

Users find Kalimba Connect easy to use and entertaining with a broad song library and leaderboard, but repeatedly report recognition and sound problems, plus mic-permission setup issues. Many feel it’s more of a game than a true learning tool for playing a real Kalimba.

### Pros

- Fun and addictive gameplay that passes the time
- Very user-friendly and easy to understand for beginners
- Helpful learning aid with a large song library to practice Kalimba
- Global leaderboard adds a social/competitive aspect

### Cons

- Note recognition / microphone input often doesn't work or fails to detect notes from the Kalimba
- Sound issues: no sound, intermittent sound, or sound cutting out requiring app or device restarts
- Microphone permissions/setup can be confusing or not prompted, hindering recognition features
- Feels more like a game than a genuine learning tool for playing a real Kalimba (limited real-instrument integration)
