    Your older license should still work. If you are having difficulties in restoring it, please contact us via email.
  • Tanpura

    Not reliable, works for 1 min only, waste of money

    Developer Response

    Hello Tamang, if you purchase the license, this limitation will go away. And the limit is 15 minutes, not 1 minute.
  • Crashes while adding custom tabla notes

    Whenever I try to add tabla sequence , app crashes.

    Developer Response

    We are sorry you faced this issue. This was a bug and has been fixed. Hope you are able to use the sequencer.
  • I cant change a tabla

    I purchased this a 2/3 years ago, but It never worked for me properly. If I select a tabla, it plays but when I go and select another one, it doesn’t play the new one, still the old one. The other caveat I found was it was playing some kinda default mode where it plays in the predefined automatic stop mode or something and you have to find it and change it to be on-demand mode. This caused embarrassment in a live setting for me. The default for purchased app should not be that.

    You can change all of these in the app settings. Different users prefer different settings. It is impossible to satisfy everyone's default requirement. That is why we provide elaborate options in settings.
  • Great concept but feels like beta product

    I am in the field of IT and software development so my review is principally from that viewpoint. At the same time, I descend from a very impressive line of classically trained famous musicians. So I do have very good idea of where this product fits and its potential.

    This software fills a space that is much needed to promote and make shastriya sangeet (Hindustani and Carnatic) accessible to musical lovers, budding musicians, teachers and amateur/professional alike. The idea is fantastic!

    However, the software is horribly buggy. I have installed on iPads (old to the latest - yes, I do have several); iPhones and they all exhibit very annoying problems like hanging, not releasing control to iOS when the home button is pressed, buttons on the display just freezing (unresponsive), UI being extremely cluttered (too dense).

    I would have released it as beta and not even think about charging money till the bugs are ironed out.

    Let me reiterate, conceptually this a great product. Work on the interface, remove the bugs and I will be one of your customers.

    Good luck!

  • Good App for music players

    It is a very good app for people who play Indian music. I bought the premium version for $39 and it is worth it
    One item the app lacks is documentation. It would be good to some basic instruction e.g. if I want to play only tabla without any other instrument, how to do that. I sent emails to the developer and he told me how to do it. Also it would be helpful if the developer has some basic explanation of the various beats
    But overall it is a very good app and I recommend it

    Thank you for your kind words. Hope you have had a chance to try our latest update with Taal pad and Lehra pad. It allows you to play any Taal/Lehra/SwarMandal from a sequence "on demand".
  • upgrade button?

    Hi I bought the basic edition but would like to upgrade to premium edition, however, I do not have an Upgrade option only 'buy' option and then it is populated with options to buy packages separately but no 'Upgrade' option.

    Developer Response

    You can buy the remaining upgrades separately from "Upgrade" or "Buy" menu within the app.
  • Useless app. Don't waste your money

    I wish I could get my money back. $14.99! Seriously? Please remove this app from the App Store.
  • Excellent software.

    With extensive taals and variations, it excels in the quality, musicality and variety of the Lehras. The functionality of being able to tune itself to the pitch of one's own instrument is missing. The absence of which does not diminish the five star rating.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind words.
  • Good Keertan Practice App

    I like the options. Drums sound authentic and the scales are realistic. Needs more Sikh Raag though! Overall Awesome App.

    Developer Response

    Could you please provide us more details about what you mean by "Sikh Raag"? You can write to us at service@taalmala.com with any specific requests.
