### 3/5 — App not working fully

*2026-07-02*

I have purchased this app yesterday evening by paying Rs 2990/- by Paytm but it’s only running for demo and not the full version. The problem should immediately be solved or my money should be returned. 
Deepak. Bhopal

### 1/5 — Return my money

*2026-04-23*

I have just bought this app but it is not working as it should be, i paid 3k but not worth it. Please refund my money and take the subscription back.

### 3/5 — Tabla stops suddenly

*2026-04-22*

App is good, clarity is excellent compared to other apps but it stops abruptly, why can’t we have it going continuously like in other apps or it’s a strategy by d founder of d app.??

### 2/5 — Horrible for singing raags

*2026-02-26*

I am a prodigy singer and I have lots of performances . My parents do not let me buy the full version. This timeout is very annoying when I’m trying to sing 2-3 minute long pieces. Absolutely horrible

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2025-08-05*

I downloaded the app to sing but the 60 second timeout is annoying and the upgrades of pro should not be upgrading the timeout the normal app should not have a timeout

### 1/5 — What’s the point exactly?

*2025-06-06*

Why, if the sound stops after 1 minute, should one get this app? - an itabla pro user since 5+ years

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work long enough to get a feel for it

*2024-02-07*

Full app is super expensive. The demo should run for longer than 30 seconds(or whatever tiny amount of time it runs) so you can get an idea if you will like it or not.

### 2/5 — Priced high for such an APP

*2023-08-17*

Free version stops after 30 seconds limiting you to explore further and full version is priced at higher side.

### 3/5 — Not too good

*2022-11-15*

This app is good for 30 seconds, but then it stops! It has these time out things that is not good for when I am doing things like raags and songs. I mean, the tabla sound is good, but it glitches a lot. And the tanpura stops in half the time of when the tabla stops! And this is really expensive. If I could make this app, it would be cheaper AND better than this. :(

### 2/5 — Bug

*2022-03-13*

Why it stops after few minutes
