Ratings and reviews

This is a great & pretty app, but I can only give two stars, because it has a huge flaw that makes it almost useless, at least for me (and anyone who likes to adjust the speed while playing). When you change the tabla's bpm's the beat starts over from 1, no matter where you're at in the current beat, so unless you hit the key exactly at the end of the beat your rhythm will be off. If the new speed could be applied while keeping the beat going (or when the next beat starts) that would fix it. Thx

This app is perfect for practicing Indian classical music. The tanpura has a variety of notes which helps to practice efficiently. But the harmonium keys are not much better, I think there should be a change in the keys of harmonium.

This app is very useful for all.In here there are all kinds of the sounds of instruments were found 😀 👌 😄 👍🏼 😉 😁. with this you can do your music anywhere and at any time .And there the facility of harmonium and microphone 🎤. so it is the best music practicing app in the world 🌎 👌 😄 😀 😉 😎 🌎 👌 😄 😀 😉 😎 🌎 👌 😄 😀 😉 😎 🌎 👌 😄 😀 😉 😎 👍👍🏻👍🏼💗💖😊☺👌👌🏻😊☺👌🏻👌☺😊💖💗❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗💓💞💕💟❣💖👌🏻👌☺😊👌🏻👌☺😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💜💙💚💛🧡❤🧡💛💚💙💜😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😊❤
