★★★★★ "Great ideas also need great execution. This app has a great mix of features. You can use it as a tanpura, to play a lehera so you can practice tabla along with it as well as an electronic tabla so you can sing or play your own instrument. Or all of it together... Why not? :-) Y…" - crushed

Bluetooth speakers disconnect when app is launched
Audio plays well on phone with Bluetooth speaker . However when Ishala app is launched the speakers disconnect.

Sound problem
It seems too much sound problem. Sound doesn't come regularly. It solved only after reinstalling. Pls solve the problem ASAP. really feel bad by downloading this app.
Terrible app
I owned the computer software from this company and I expected something similar to pc software. Boy was I wrong very inferior product. Itabla is much better.
No update to this inferior product since its release. That tells you something about this app.

Bought this looking for Logic Pro Ipad compatibility
It seems like at one point you had it. Why would you remove the plugin functionality?
Application crashed frequently
All is well just application crashed very frequently.
App needs huge improvements for iOS
The app is handy for doing riyaz no doubt, but for the price which you’re charging people for buying this app, it needs a lot of work for iOS platform. It keeps crashing everytime a user tries to change any settings. There is no point in spending $10 for premium on top of the $13 for the basic download of the app if it fails to stay open while doing riyaz. Please work on updating this app for iOS platform.
Great ideas also need great execution
This app has a great mix of features. You can use it as a tanpura, to play a lehera so you can practice tabla along with it as well as an electronic tabla so you can sing or play your own instrument. Or all of it together... Why not? :-)
You can obviously change pitch and tempo. And what is cool is also the raga of the lehera nagma.
However I ran out of anything good to say beyond this. The sound of the tanpura is probably the best thing in the app. The harmonium sounds terrible, the various ragas are a joke. And the tabla sound too is ok.
The interface has not been updated in the last couple of years so it really feels dated and not very iOS friendly. And it crashes consistently unless you fiddle around with the app before starting the lehera or tanpura.
I am probably going to have to buy iTabla Pro as people are saying that sounds amazing. The interface for that too is quite terrible from what I can make out from screenshots.
God, why can't developers take a clue from all the amazing apps out there and make a beautiful app?

Great app with flaws
Works great for practicing but if you close the app and reopen it, it will not work- no sound! Must restart iphone for it to work again.
very disappointed
ran it, nice.. but it won't play in the background? worthless for me. maybe i can record it and export...what? no i can't. double worthless... there goes my money... bye -bye. i hopethe developers enjoy their summer vacation... can you tell i'm very disappointed?
Not great
Vastly inferior to itabla. Only advantage is combo of tabla/tanpura/lehra in one app.
