## What is Amazing Ragas?

### 4/5 — A useful reference

*2019-12-08, version 2.0*

It has a lot of different way to look up raags. You can even look them up by their notes which helps if you’re trying to figure out a raag from a recording. Some of information is a little incorrect (mostly in the raga based songs dataset) but the fundamentals info is accurate.

### 5/5 — Great Effort

*2018-12-31, version 1.4*

Brilliant work.A must for classical students

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review and rating.

This is an wonderful app for music lovers especially for beginners to intermediate learners. It provides full details of ragas alphabetically and references based on songs, performers and composers. Then lists the songs for each raga and YouTube link. 
Haven't found any other app as close and precise as this one.
