App should not shut when a call comes

I love this app .. had asked for this feature about five years ago.. the app needs to be re-triggered after a phone call or a voice to text activation in message ..This used to be working well where it used to switch automatically if the app was on.. now one has to go back to the app and turn it on again which can be quite annoying while driving. Please fix. πŸ™πŸ» great app by the way

Needs to be optimized for ipadOS

Please optimize this for ipadOS26. The windowing ability in this new iOS is really ruining the layout of the app. It does not take up the whole screen anymore.

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.

Problem needs to be solved…

Tanpura Sound and pitching are good, soothing, perfect. But I face another problem, whenever I play this app my phone gets hot. It’s very bothersome.

Bass is Missing

Please add some bass on the Tanpuras in by default settings. I know we can level up the bass by using PAN left and right settings but it’s reduced the output that’s why please add some bass in by default settings. Without harming or changing any settings. I am using Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 expensive Bluetooth Speaker for the better sound output but still there is NO BASS.

Response from developer

If you want to adjust EQ and panning upgrade to iTablaPro.

iphone earphone not working with tuner

pls help to support it

Magnificent

I’ve no experience with utilizing the tanpura to accompany me while chanting. In just minutes of experimentation with this app my vocalizing has been revolutionized.

I am finding that various keys are appropriate, depending upon the shloka. I never realized this.

I cannot thank you enough. By grace of Guru and Saraswati I found iTanpura.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Please try Bairagi Bhairav preset for shlokas if you haven’t already!

Useful and easy to use

Great for meditation sessions and classes

Long-time professional user of this app

I have been using this app for my concerts and practice for over a decade. Clean, quality sound; perfectly in tune at all shrutis; features for Carnatic music like the 6-matra strum pattern and the ability to turn off the 4th string; and many more features that makes this a no-brainer staple for a practicing musician or student. A relatively expensive app, but the developer has truly put care into it and made it a robust, high quality instrument that we forget the cost of over the years!

Response from developer

Not sure what you mean, please be specific. Best to email me through the app if you need help.

Thanks

Useless presets

Preset cannot be deleted and this is a great nuisance and detracts from performance.

Response from developer

Of course they can be deleted by swiping to the left. You can also mark your presets as favorites.

Needs a start and stop feature

Great app. Can you add a start and stop play button?

Response from developer

Each Tanpura already has a on/off feature. The Swar mandal and Sur peti turn in and off automatically with the Tanpuras.

Please make this available to download on MacBooks. Currently it is not available!

Duped

I paid 1299 last weekend for the app. But still I am not getting non stop use. And their app support is pathetic.

Response from developer

Please email me directly through the app. You may also try deleting and reinstalling the app.
