### 5/5 — Makes learning Carnatic music fun and easy!

*2025-12-11*

downloaded this to help with Carnatic music lessons, and it has been a lifesaver. It takes the intimidation out of practicing alone. The app is very easy to navigate, so I don't spend time fiddling with settings—I just practice. If you are a beginner looking for support, this is the app for you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback :)

### 5/5 — Worth every minute you spend on it

*2025-12-11*

Great for all ages. Lots of useable features

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback :)

### 5/5 — Must need app

*2025-12-11*

To a large extent, this app has replaced the most important chapter of practising accompanying to music. It becomes very challenging to find singers and their time to assist percussion Artist to practise the art of a company for songs. Numerous songs in different styles and different Sruthi help the practitioners to have free mind in repeating for hundred times and get the sense of the music

**Developer response:** Thank you for your encouraging words! :)

### 5/5 — SM

### 5/5 — A Must Have for Every Carnatic Learner

*2025-12-04*

Really helpful app for daily Carnatic practice. Perfect for both beginners and intermediate learners.

### 5/5 — Very useful app to introduce Indian classical music, especially to kids!

*2025-12-04*

My son loves to sing & jam along the tracks on this app - Nottuswara-s & simple bhajans. It has also been a great bed time tool to make him listen to soulful Indian classical melodies on Flute, Veena by wonderful artists. Highly recommend it to all parents.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback :)

### 4/5 — High Quality Sound & Extremely useful

*2025-07-18*

I have purchased this app for my Daughter who is learning Mridangam. It has been extremely useful in her learning journey. 

I would like to request few added features to make it more user friendly and easy to use,

1. Ability to scrub without stopping.
2. Ability to select a portion of the song that can be looped, which will help in concentrated/repeated practice.
3. Once we are on a song under a Pitch we are not able to go back to the list of songs, rather we are asked to select the pitch again.

Thank you for all the good work 🙏🏼

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing Abhyas to support your daughter’s Mridangam learning journey! We truly appreciate your suggestions. Our team is continuously working to improve the app, and your input helps us prioritize these improvements. We’re grateful for your encouragement and will keep striving to make Abhyas even more user-friendly. Thank you again for being part of our community! 🙏🏼
