### 3/5 — Needs an Update

*2023-08-26, version 1.23*

Great collection but the app needs an update as it keeps on crashing.

### 3/5 — Carnatic collection is very small

*2023-02-19, version 1.23*

Please expand collection of Carnatic. Currently very limited.

### 4/5 — Nice

*2020-02-09, version 1.19*

Can you add an option to download sheet music for these compositions so students of music can learn and practice

### 3/5 — Good noble effort

*2019-12-22, version 1.16*

Namaskar 
Very good collection. Downloading is very slow to iPhone 6s. Entertaining and devotional. Truly Indian ( Great Bharat). Thank you very much.💐🔔🌹👏👏

### 2/5 — Good effort with technical glitches

*2019-11-17, version 1.16*

Great effort with technical glitches! I cannot log on using my email since the OTP would never be send. Tried contacting the HCL team in one of the concerts on Friday who took down my email id. No success so far. The content seems to be bliss but sadly can’t play it because of the log in issue. Needs improvement.

### 2/5 — Where’s Pt. Ravi Shankar and Anushka Shankar’s playlists??

*2019-10-28, version 1.16*

Surprisingly nothing of Pt. Ravi Shankar and Anushka Shankar’s compositions found here!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome idea

*2019-07-30, version 1.13*

Easy to use and awesome features

### 3/5 — Good start

*2018-09-25, version 1.11*

A good start, lots of really great music is available on this app. A few bugs to work out:

- for tracks with two soloists, such as jugalbandi performances, only one artist is listed (example Ramdasi Malhar by Vishwamohan Bhatt &..??)

- more information is needed for the tracks, at least the tabla accompanists should be listed, also year and album or concert 

- the artist photo thumbnails need to be formatted correctly, they’re all over the place - some squished, some stretched, some with colorful frames, some with filters - a standard format will make the app function more professionally 

- links should be added in each artist profile where to buy their music or view their website, this will help the app actually benefit the artists represented 

Great work, keep it up so I can give 5 stars one day

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2024-11-12, version 1.23*

It has so many glitches, show no Internet or keep showing loader. Almost not usable.
And it’s understood as last update is 4 year ago.

### 1/5 — Poor performance if the app

*2023-12-13, version 1.23*

The application is working like disaster. It automatically gets log out after every 5 mins and it shows no internet connection.

### 1/5 — Automatic logout always

*2023-09-10, version 1.23*

ये इतनी अच्छी एप्लीकेशन है लेकिन पता नहीं क्यों यह मैं जब भी लोग इन करता हूँ तो कभी भी ओटीपी समय पर नहीं आता है और लोग इन हो भी जाऊँ तो ये ऑटोमैटिकली लॉगआउट हो जाता हूँ। 
यह एप्लीकेशन शास्त्रीय संगीतज्ञों के लिए सच में अच्छी है, लेकिन थोड़े से बदलाव कर दें तो बहुत अच्छी बन सकती है 
कृपया इसको फिक्स करिये।

### 1/5 — Crashes always

*2022-09-02, version 1.23*

Unstable

*2019-12-14, version 1.16*

### 1/5 — Bogus app

*2018-09-29, version 1.11*

Unexpected from a company who has such a reputation in software market across world.

### 1/5 — App crashing

*2018-06-23, version 1.0*

### 2/5 — Very difficult to search

*2022-11-26, version 1.23*

Looks like they have stopped supporting it since the past 2 years!!! There was a playlist called “Carnatic”, which had all types of classical music… this does not work for me

### 5/5 — Best app for classical music

*2020-07-09, version 1.23*

I like this app so much that I am writing 2nd review. Thanks a lot for introducing this app. It caters to unique taste in music. Like the Collection of tracks. Would appreciate if more tracks are added and if tracks are organised even more categorically, for easy search of the user.

### 5/5 — Great concept

*2020-04-05, version 1.21*

This is what I was looking for getting it all together, we had every kind of music app but never this. App could still be better but still a 5 star for bringing it together.

Hello Team HCL, what you have created here is what we absolutely needed in the plethora of music apps. Yes this app has bugs! Yes it takes a bit of work! But so does my turntable. The 5 stars from me are for the concept and the effort to conserve and promote our culture and music. Thank you HCL, keep us amazed and stay awesome!!

### 5/5 — A very well curated collection

*2020-02-09, version 1.19*

A great effort to bring music from different genres to folks living all over the world who may not follow the music scene closely.
My favorite is the Sufi collection

### 5/5 — Awesome app
