Great app

I am not an Indian musician, but I love using this app as a drone to practice. I use it for improvisational exercises.

The Best Tanpura of the Universe

I experienced different tanpuras (tamburas) available. This is undoubtedly the best. Of course, scope for improvement always exist.

Awesome app

I just loved this app as I took it in bundle pack it was worth a money , one correction I would tell the team that they should have button for increasing base like we get the voice in real tanpura with full base … even old electronics tanpura are better sound . I would really like team to improvise on this

Just ok

Not wide for IPad. Can’t see that this does anything iTablaPro does. $5 with bundle but still feel cheated.
