Stay away. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We take subscription transparency very seriously and want to assure users that all payments and cancellations are managed securely through official app stores (Apple & Google), which provide easy options to cancel at any time. If you face any difficulties, please reach out to our support team (support@shaale.com) so we can assist you directly. We strive to provide a smooth, trustworthy experience for all our users. ### 1/5 — Subscription only *2020-04-01, version 1.1.0* Just get your up front pricing right. Subscription is a terrible idea. You will make more money by having some content in the basic download and then fairly priced in app purchases. ### 2/5 — Asking google password *2019-12-06* It shouldn't be asking google credential.. it should have own username password.. may be compromising personal datas.. **Developer response:** Social logins help users re-use their existing credentials @adhoxi. The entire login is handled by Google / FB API-s and are very secure. Please do try out. ### 2/5 — Requires google login *2018-11-05* Appreciate the effort but I don’t intend to sign in with Google. This an iOS app! Shouldn’t require a sign-in regardless. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The latest versions of Abhyas are now passwordless and OTP-based for quick, secure access—fully platform-agnostic across iOS and Android. No Google sign-in required. Please update to the newest version and give it a try! 🙏 ### 2/5 — Not working *2018-08-06* Installed this app but after accepting the terms it is not getting logged in **Developer response:** Hi Sridhar, please make sure you have entered the right credentials. If problem persists please write to us at namaskara@shaale.com. We shall rectify it ### 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! 🙏🏼 ### 4/5 — Navigating *2025-04-13* Not able to navigate to the required time. Please fix it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Can you please try updating to the latest version of the app? If you still face issues, feel free to reach out—we’re here to help! ### 4/5 — Needs to add more compositions *2020-03-06, version 1.1.0* Hey I have been using this app for very long time. It’s superb but it could be improved with an update since it hasn’t been updated in a while. I want more pancharatna krithis and Ada Thala varnam, and Ragam Tanam Pallavi. Please consider these things and I will continue to support you! All the best ### 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 :) ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 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 *2025-12-10* SM **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — very helpful. Regardless of expertise level. *2025-12-10* Helped me improve significantly. **Developer response:** Glad to know! Thank you :) ### 5/5 — Great app for Carnatic music repertoire *2025-12-05* It’s nice to see that a well intentioned team is striving to make this knowledge that used to live in silos more widely available without compromising on quality. Looking forward to feature filled future versions **Developer response:** Thank you! :) ### 5/5 — One of a kind app *2025-12-04* Highly recommend for music students especially for violin and mridangam accompaniment **Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback :) ### 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 :) ### 5/5 — good app for learning *2023-05-02* My son play music instrument and this app is giving various songs and help to play multiple times. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words!
