Kendamanomics

This app always helps me get back into the groove with kendama if I go a bit without playing. Thankful for this app!

Please note this review is after 5 days of use. I may change if I find something or am educated in something that contradicts what I’m about to say. I already have been practicing for like a year so I was excited to just knock out as many tricks as I could so I can see where I am on the progress points. I already found tricks I have never heard of, and some that are challenging. I love how easy it is to navigate the tricks and see examples. But here are some of my critiques Biggest one is how long it takes to get your tricks verified. I love the idea of this kind of being like a kendama Duolingo app, but there should be a faster system to verify that you did the trick. I think even an honor system for less advanced tricks would be amazing. I also think a daily streak counter would be helpful. I wish I could start/pin a few tricks that I can go back too if it takes me a few days to learn them, or maybe even allow me to make a custom trick list of tricks I’m Working on. I also think a way to upload your own tricks to get verified as a new trick would be really cool. Last thing which is just a personal gripe. I am happy to support the app but this app and the culture doesn’t seem in line with a subscription model. I think especially with the app being in early production a one time purchase for add free content would be good for all parties involved but it could just be my genuine hatred for everything being subscription live service these days. Keep it up I will keep uploading I just hope my stuff gets verified soon.

I like the app and the concept is awesome, it took a week for my first batch of trick to get reviewed. But since then I’ve added tricks daily and I haven’t got a single reviewed trick in 2 weeks. I’m sure it’s just folded into a large list of others waiting for reviews, but it would be super cool if it went a little faster.
