Ratings and reviews

Tabla doesnot go below 15bpm in ektaal and below 50 in jhaptaal. The same issues are also in many taals. Fine Tuning of Tabla increases with respect of time. Except this everything is good Hello, The update version is quite good, But the main concern is still there,Fine tuning of Tabla. Kindly look after it. Thankyou Ankit Gupta 30/10/24

The app functions as it is supposed to. But the application's user experience and user interface are horrible. It's annoying as hell and feels so clunky. It's actually infuriating to use. Wouldn't consider paying for it. But I suppose the free option is still better than nothing 😕

Not a single comparable application for classical music, available on android. Really close to actual sounds of instruments and lots of features.
