Very Simple App. Works perfectly on Android without unnecessary distractions and bugs. Pure functionality without much nonsense.

It's an amazing app...If you are looking for a tanpura app then definitely go for it..! I am studying and stay in a PG..here I do not have any instrument to practise..I searched for a tanpura app and installed it among many options..it's really very useful and easy to use..does it job well..also you don't need a data connection to run it, it's an offline app.

The app was working well until recently. In the last week or 10 days, I have noticed that it stops working or playing in the background if you are not on it. Meaning, if the tanpura is playing and I open a different app, the tanpura then stops playing. I use the tanpura in conjunction with another app for table in order to practice my singing. This is is extremely inconvenient as I now have to use separate phones for each app. Please fix the issue!
