### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-02, version 11.9.0*

The app is pretty good, maybe a little expensive but it has everything you need.

### 1/5 — Bayan sounds tinny

*2026-07-31, version 11.9.0*

I like the Bayan to make a deep base sound.  This app doesn’t.  I just bought it and feel I wasted my money.

### 5/5 — How I use iTabla Pro

*2026-06-03, version 11.9.0*

I am nearly 80, having been in the UK since June 1978 (2/3 of my life as doctor, broadcaster author politician and now singer (for 5 years) Normally I use StarMaker but sometimes they’re of such poor quality - with lyrics missing that I use the comfort of iTabla Pro : and on those occasions its been more than PERFECT

### 4/5 — Once again great job !!

*2026-05-30, version 11.9.0*

Can you please make this an auv3 plugin?  I would love to be able to run it on a channel in AUM….I would love the function to link iLehra and iTabla to play in sync 🙏🏽…Well done !! Great practice aid.
    Would be great to have more variations and the ability to accent sam. I'm sure improvments are coming ... Well worth the price.!!!

### 4/5 — Swar Mandal issue

*2026-03-07, version 11.9.0*

Great app used for years but recently realized that the Swar Mandal is not playing as per the preset Raagas.

### 5/5 — Best app for any Indian or any music to adjust pitch

*2026-01-16, version 11.9.0*

W itabla pro

### 2/5 — Recording function is not working

*2025-12-27, version 11.9.0*

There is a lag between the recorded voice and tabla when i use the recording feature. Please fix it . There is no use of recording if it cannot record the accurate recording with tabla.

### 3/5 — Require some improvement in tunning and output sound.

*2025-11-30*

Pls add a equaliser (or any software which is  able to edit in sound  )with this app for make a sound accordingly person to person choices. And pls add fine tunning function means fine tunning like mannual tanpura . This tanpura is best in class another tanpura application but indian music is other thing and tanpura is soul of Indian music so pls understand your big responsibility.  And one more inquiry pls tell me difference about iPad tanpura and I phone tanpura and what minute difference between both sounds. Pls ans in detail i am waiting for your response .Thanking you .

**Developer response:** It already has an equalizer — see mixer section on first tab. And it already has manual fine tuning. And same Tanpura on both iPhone and iPad. Please see help in app or email me through the app with any more questions.

### 4/5 — Amazing for riyaz and creating mood

*2025-10-01*

Different taanpura combinations are great in creating the mood for the raag only one negative point when I click on the screen after a while the tabla beats are are not playing continuously it breaks the taal and starts from another beat instantly this never happened in my older devices only happening in 16 pro max I have nit changed any setting it is a bug

**Developer response:** You may have some wrong setting, please email me through the app if you need help.

### 4/5 — Itablapro

*2025-08-15, version 11.9.0*

Good app for riyaz but it pricy i like rhe swar mandal tabla and tabpura one change is there should be a feature where it can automatically change the taal for partaal shabads and also it should speed up by a specific amount in a specific amount of time
