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.

The tanpura is perfect and almost realistic, it have enough low end to it like a real tanpura. But there are multiple issues regarding the tabla, the UI is not smooth when changing the tempo, and the taals are not very fluent, also while selecting the variations we have to go back and select it from the beginning... Otherwise great great app!
