Ratings and reviews

Great sounding tanpura. This app has become my default for tanpura. Tabla section can do with some improvements.. for eg, teental has 10+ 'variations', and the 1st variation is not the 'basic' teental. so I have to go searching for which variation is the right one, and each change is about 5 taps till I get to what I want. Interface for that can do with some simplification.

Sir, This app is amazing. Wonderful. As a ardent music player, I have few requests. Please include options to change the variations in the front page, instead of selecting thru menu every time. That will help us. For example, kherwq with 60 variants, to try every variation, it takes a lot of time. People loose interest in the song.

Hi Team Bandish. You guys are fantastic the only thing I want to change in this app is the simplicity of Taal Variations. Please add basic thekas of each taal. We don't need too much variations. Just make it simple as Rhythm Tabla app. Overall your app is great for Riyaz. Tanpura sound is too good. If possible make a separate Tanpura app as well. Thanks & Regards.
