★★★★★ "Only C# tabla sounds good. Amazing idea and controls etc. For both, Tanpura and Tabla. Sorry to give a low rating because only C# tabla sounds good. Others sound pretty bad. I love to use this app for my riyaz and look forward to future updates with improvements." - IndianClassicalSinger

Update broke the app
Latest update makes the app look like it's in monochrome in dark mode. It's not usable anymore. Also the UX changed a little which again makes it painful to use. I've recommended this to friends and family and have been a huge proponent of this app, please don't make it unusable.
Not for a singer
How is a singer supposed to sing using this if they can’t even choose the pitch they would like without buying premium? I need it for once a week classes and no way am I buying premium when I’m spending so much for classes itself. LET US CHOOSE OUR PITCH WITHOUT PREMIUM!! Do I want to sing on C# when I sing on A#?? NO!
Bad at different scales other than C sharp
I just bought this, and it soundss soooooo bad at different scales. I hope the developers fixes this problem. It is really problematic
I don’t like this app
Hey!
I really didn’t like this app. I am a kathak student and my teacher uses the premium version of this app, but I don’t want to spend more money for something that I only use thrice a week.
I don’t have the premium version for this, and the version that I currently have is not very helpful. It only had a handful of beats, so you need to purchase the premium version to get the rest. Plus, you can’t change the tanpura and the scale unless you have the premium.
I don’t recommend this.

Terrible
The tabla sound terrible. Needs major sample upgrade. Get iTabla Pro instead.
Shameless copy of iTablaPro controls
Without the great sound and functionality of that app!
Intrusive advertising
Great app, great sounds, great introduction that gives an opportunity to try before making in-app purchases - all ruined by full screen advertising.
I get that developers make money from ads, but this is ridiculous - in-app purchases, bottom of the screen ads AND ads that cover the entire screen.
Greedy.

Click on buy to remove ads and it does not work
What kind of app is this which just does not allow you to buy the in-app purchases. Pathetic app.
Free version is pointless
Full of deceitful ads.
Not good
Don't like this app. Sounds like the pitch is off or something. Tamboura is difficult to hear. Do not recommend.
Only C# tabla sounds good
Amazing idea and controls etc. For both, Tanpura and Tabla. Sorry to give a low rating because only C# tabla sounds good. Others sound pretty bad. I love to use this app for my riyaz and look forward to future updates with improvements.
Not a real sound
Not a real professional sounds there. Machine modulation from key to key. App also has no 432Hz tuning. Be ready to get a toy, not a really helpful app.
