Ratings and reviews

This app is ok at best. A metronome might be better. The lehras do not resemble the experience of flowing style indian classical music. Instead, it sounds like a learning student is playing in a very rigid "metronome" kind of way. It's a cheaper app compared to others like lehra studio, but the lehras are just terrible. Do not recommend.

I have been using this app for almost 4 years for tabla practice and am very happy with all the features (specially the Riyaz feature). But today suddenly app has stopped working on my phone. There was no new app update or even phone update so not sure why app is not working any more. Can you please help? Update: Issue resolved with timely update. This is the best lehra app I have used. 😍

I Have been using it for beginner tabla practice for a week now. The features are very user friendly. My tabla guru loves it and thinks this is better than the one he paid about forty bucks on his iphone. It has a few instruments on it but missing sitar or santoor which I think is a must for Hindustani practice. I hope they will be added in the next update. Loving it so far...
