Ratings and reviews

Excellent app.. the one I was exactly looking for. Minimalistic, no more no less. Got everything that's needed. The tanpura audio quality is also pretty decent. Will recommend for sure.

Simple. Small. Does the job wonderfully. Cherry on top is that the tanpura's sound fades away when you press the stop button. No ads. No unnecessary permissions. Beautiful. Only suggestion is to update the UI to match the current android material design theme but then again Im nitpicking.

This app was very nice. It works very well all the time, and I frequently use it when practicing carnatic music. The only flaw, is that it takes quite a few taps at the play button to start it. Apart from this, the app is superb
