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.

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. Add a sum bell for those who are not aware of sum. Overall your app is great for Riyaz. Tanpura sound is too good. If possible make a separate Tanpura app as well. Thanks & Regards.

It is a good app and has a lot of variations in tabla but it is confusing to identify the basic one.Other than that it is a good app. But pls highlight the basic taal and make it easy for beginners. Thankyou.
