You can make simple rhythmic arrangements to.professional grade complicated korvais with this app. Amazing **Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Sequence Creation *2020-08-12* Please explain how to create my own sequence and store it for future use. For eg. GuGuNaNaKiTaThaKa ( ThomThomNamNamLeftThaDhiKiTa ). Can’t see anywhere that explains to create own sequence. Can I upload text file with a sequence as well. **Developer response:** You can check out the following video that explains sequence creation - https://youtu.be/qSGPt3PiqhM It is for an older version of the app, but we’re in the process of creating another video of the latest version. 🙏 PS - you can create the sequence on one app and share that sequence with another person by exporting/importing. ### 4/5 — Family Sharing Problems *2020-05-28* After testing the app for sometime, I purchased it via in-app purchase. But, later I realised that Apple doesn’t allow family sharing of in-app purchase. So, now I can’t use the paid version in my wife’s iPad. I’ll have to purchase it again if I want an ad-free version. It’ll be good to keep the paid version separate from the Lite version (like Talanome) to benefit the customers who want to purchase the paid version and use it for family sharing. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! 🙏 We’re happy to let you know that Family Sharing is now available on in-app purchases on My TalaVadyam (along with a host of other features released with version 4.0.0!) ### 4/5 — Please add tambura to it *2019-10-16* I love this app already but without the tambura, it’s hard for my dance classes. Would totally pay way more than $2 if tambura in different scales is added, **Developer response:** We're glad you like it, and thank you very much for your suggestion! We will surely look into a tambura feature! In the meantime, please do check out and upgrade to the latest build (4.0.0) - it has some major updates - Fine-tunable left/right-side pitch, Tala/Sequence Visualizer, improved Sequence Editor and more! ### 5/5 — Great Sounds *2024-12-29* I enjoy experimenting with different sounds and I put sounds and rhythms like these into my improvisational recordings. ### 5/5 — please add choice of common srutis *2020-06-27* At least C, D and G the default seems to be sharper than C# but flatter than D thank you **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback and suggestions! 🙏 We’re happy to tell you that pitch change is now available along with a host of other features in version 4.0.0. You can independently adjust the pitch of the Kaaranai and also the bass of the Thoppi, like the real instrument. The pitch is fine-tunable from 1-7 kattai and everywhere in between. ### 5/5 — Wow. Awesome App *2020-06-22* I am learning mridangam and as a beginner this is a very useful app. My favorite feature is being able to create my own tunes and practice along with it. I request the feature to change the pitch such as G sharp or D **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback and suggestions! 🙏 We’re happy to tell you that pitch change is now available along with a host of other features in version 4.0.0. You can independently adjust the pitch of the Kaaranai and also the bass of the Thoppi, like the real instrument. You can adjust from 1-7 Kattai (also selectable as Safed/Kali, Western Note, MIDI note or Frequency), with the ability to fine tune. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2020-05-24* Really an excellent app with mere sound precision.. editor can be bit more comfortable.. not sure if im underutilising it.. have any demo video? **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Editor has been improved quite a bit from previous versions, but there's always room for improvement! 😊 There's an older demo video available - https://youtu.be/qSGPt3PiqhM We will be releasing a new demo video, hopefully soon! ### 5/5 — Splendid *2017-10-28* It is really superb. But, it will be more useful If the pitch change option is there. I would like to buy the paid version if there is an option to change the pitch. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback and suggestions! 🙏 We’re happy to tell you that pitch change is now available along with a host of other features in version 4.0.0. You can independently adjust the pitch of the Kaaranai and also the bass of the Thoppi, like the real instrument. ### 5/5 — Good for beginners *2017-04-23* Fist of all it ia a great tool for some who is learning Miruthangam. It would be wonderful if the developer improve the editing function of notes such as moving the notes instead of deleting all and start all over again. But I am really appreciative of the developer's effort and waiting for the improved version. Thank you. **Developer response:** The latest version (4.0.0) has some serious updates - do give it a try! Fine-tunable left/right-side pitch, Tala/Sequence Visualizer, improved Sequence Editor and more! ### 5/5 — fun and great sounding! *2015-04-13* this is fully function just has ads.. love the sounds very authentic and exciting.. **Developer response:** Thank you! 🙏 ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very cool application guys *2014-11-14* Totally enjoying making up rhythmic patterns and hearing what it sounds like before I try. Thanks..Good work **Developer response:** Glad you like it! Thanks for the review! Looking forward to hearing your creations! Please feel free to hit the Share button and share it with the community! Also do upgrade to the latest version - it has some comprehensive changes to the Sequence Editor that will make creation and editing a lot easier! 🙏 ### 5/5 — God sent app *2014-03-31* Greetings!! Feel truly blessed to have come across th app. I am learner and my skils, specially layam needed a lot of correction. Here are my primary usages: 1) Practice the sample lessons, there are many great lessons to keep me busy for a while. 2) Construct and save the lessons taught by my guru. All note syllables are available for drag and drop. Assemble these buttons and press play and loop it. Wow!! high quality audio. 3) Earleir, after the oral recitation, i used to play. Now after oral recitaion, i listen deeply to the sequence in this app. This makes my ears get used to great quality notes and the i practise. This method is working wonders already. 4) Keep looping the notes and play along at various speeds. If i make a mistake, i can recover and keep going along with this reliable co-player. 5) There are other features which i have not explored, and reserving them for future wows!! Thanks to the creators, by honing the skills of learners, you serve a greater purpose. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind feedback and compliments! :-) This was exactly the kind of use we had conceived of. Please do upgrade to the latest version 3.0.1 - it makes Sequence creation and editing a whole lot simpler with inline editing and drag-and-drop reorganizing, and visually differentiating sequence phrases as well as extended notes, so you can create and save lessons faster and easier! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Arcadians *2014-02-14* Amazing work with tremendous potential. Fulfills long pressing needs of carnatic music students, amateur performers, and arrangers. Once the author adds a few more features, especially changing of pitch, this is well on its way to becoming a perfect product. Looking for use and future versions. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! 🙏 The latest version (4.0.0) has some serious updates - do give it a try! Fine-tunable left/right-side pitch, Tala/Sequence Visualizer, improved Sequence Editor and more! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
