### 2/5 — Limited options of raagas and bpm seed doesn’t synchronise with Lenora

*2023-01-04*

I have been using this app for more than a year now. The app is good. However there is a lot of room for improvement. Especially the cost that is paid for this app, it gives very limited options of raagas to choose from. It also doesn’t coordinate with the bpm on high speed with the full cycle of teen taal. Would like to see some improvement done to that.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2020-03-17*

Worst App ever

### 1/5 — Very basic

*2018-11-23, version 1.9*

Hardly any instruments. Doesn’t even something as basic as a metronome. Completely useless.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2017-03-15*

There is nothing wrong with this app. All the tunes are in sarangi and santo or. Whatever is there in this app is best. I would suggest the app creator to add more taals. There is only teentaal, roopak, jhap and Ek taal in the current paid version. The interface is clutter free. It should also display how much the me I have spent on practicing. This app has taken my tabla practice to a new level. iLehra app is also good but that does not have sarangi instrument, it has violin. But if you are in gurbani singing and love classical then this is the best app. The best thing in this app is that the Playing tabla with sarangi melodies takes your practice to the new level.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-05-22*

Very poor customer service. The app doesn't open at all for the past 6 months. I have contacted the developer almost 3 times in the past 2 months. No reply, no fix! Going to switch to another app (even though i paid for this one)

### 1/5 — Very poor technology

*2016-03-12*

Though the sound of the sarangi creates the atmosphere of a beautiful solo, the "Loy" ( tempo of a taal cycle) fluctuates a lot. " the gaj ki chaal" is brings the mood in the vilambit but in drut the same bandish has been just enhanced in speed electronically, there should be a different bandish for drut, the i-lehra has it. Please learn from them before selling a poor at a high price...

### 1/5 — Lehra

*2016-02-05, version 1.9*

Was working in the beginning but stopped working after updating the app. Can't even open it

### 3/5 — A good start

*2015-11-02*

The sound quality of the samples is definitely a step in the right direction, but this app lacks many crucial functions that come standard with iLehra. The limited tempos on the santoor, limited tal and rag options, and limited tuning possibilities are a few problems that seriously interfere with the utility of this app for tabla players. The sound of the sarangi (particularly at faster laya) could also be improved. Once some of these issues are addressed this app will be much more appealing. Good start, but please keep working on it!

### 1/5 — I  still  prefer iLehra but this could get  better

*2015-09-30*

Some  of  these Nagma patterns are  not very  good  and  they don't cover the  full cycle .. Pitch detection should be added . More Talas , more patterns , add tala claps or  mute them .. so  much room  for  improvement !! I think  this  has  potential and I  hope  the creator will seek to make improvements  as this could really be amazing for  riyaz !!

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2015-09-23, version 1.8*

Great app, please please continue to add more features and nagmas. Brilliant start. 🙏🏼
