Ratings and reviews

I purchased this app. It's good for riyaz however while playing a taal it's a lag between the actual bol you listen to and the number of matra displayed on the screen. when this happens it's very confusing for a beginner. Secondly if you pause the running cycle of any taal, and continue it by unpause, the layya is highly disturbed. in that case you need to restart the app. These are the major bugs in this app currently which need to be resolved on a priority basis. Rest is okay.

This is the best musical app I'm currently using for practice,,,, it has the features that automatically calculates the period of practice and then plots in calender by which I can see my progress. Thanks to the app developers

on 26th nov 2025 i renewed my taal subscription for 1 year. along with taal subscription I also paid Rs.200/- for Karaoke subscription, but till date it is not showing as I am subscribed with karaoke. whenever I click on karaoke, it shows message buy now. and I choose buy now it is showing you are already buy. please look into this matter positively else refund my Rs.200/-. I am giving 4 Stars instead of 5 .
