Five Stars. Our family and friends jam session partner.
We are a mixed household with an even more diverse group of friends. Some trained musicians and some here for the pure joy of singing. Together we sing Bollywood, English pop, Punjabi, Ghazal and kirtan. Naadsadhna is one app that holds it together beautifully.
The percussion range of Tabla, Cajon and Drums makes the feel like live orchestra which goes with every kind of song plus there are beats/taal in every raag possible. I have lost the count of how many fun evenings we have had with this app.
And then there is Sandeep, I wrote him an email with suggestions expecting nothing. He wrote back a few minutes later explaining his thinking around product development and we had such a meaningful conversation. This kind of warmth between creator and users is so rare today.
If your family, friends or you love music in any form I would highly recommend Naadsadhna.

NaadSadhana - distilling the magic of music!
Using NaadSadhana has been nothing short of a joy. The way it picks up on the energy building in compositions and seamlessly accompanies me makes me feel exactly like I’m on stage with pros! It’s just as deft at accompanying subtly and letting the vocals shine through as well. It is not very often that we get to perform with a 27-instrument orchestra (for most musicians, it’s an experience never to be had)
Recordings are incredibly easy too, it takes away my need to denoise, mix and remaster separately, and does it all at one go!
The practice section and tuner has been incredibly easy to recommend to new learners. Personally, it helps me to ensure I’m hitting the right swarasthanas, especially when I have ear blockages/am trying tune my tanpura.
From a convenience standpoint, it has been so easy to sing at remote locations and temples thanks to NaadSadhana’s on-device nature!
As a skeptic of AI, it’s refreshing to see an app like NaadSadhana that exists to empower artists and hobbyists and doesn’t rely on stolen IP, and have immense respect for the ethical standards that have been strictly maintained.
NaadSadhana has been one of the focal things that has helped me regain and rediscover the wonder I once held for music. Thank you for distilling the magic of music into an app.

Wow!! 🤩 Thank you! You truly made my day!! I’m so happy you are enjoying Naadsadhana!
Creativity & brilliance at it’s finest 😊🙏👍
I’ve been super excited by the possibilities ever since I discovered NaadSadhana. I happened to watch a video where Sandeep Ranade introduces the app and its features. It showed up as a YouTube recommendation and I was instantly intrigued. Once I tried it, I couldn’t be happier. This is exactly what I had been looking for! I primarily use the app as sruthi backing for my whistling. So far, I’ve been using the tanpura and swaramandal extensively. I’m still exploring the percussion instruments. I also use the notes training as often as I can. With whistling, it is very easy to go sharper or flatter than intended, so no amount of practice ever feels excessive. The ear training is extremely helpful and reinforces swara recognition really well for students both old and new. The recording & mixing feature is excellent, the flexibility it offers is impressive. You can custom mix tracks and export clean, raw audio files to use outside the app & this opens up a whole new world of possibilities for creators I am sure. The engineering brilliance & creative intelligence powering the app is remarkable. GeekGayak is probably the absolute best way to describe it :) Kudos to that geekiness.
The raaga and taal library in the app is extensive. Based on the style of music you choose, the app also automatically adapts the available instruments, which is a great touch. I do wonder if there might be room for some user-level customization in a future release.
I may have missed mentioning a few things (I probably did), but if you’re a music enthusiast at any level, you should definitely give this app a try.

A rare blend of musical depth and thoughtful technology
NaadSadhana is a beautifully designed companion for sincere Indian classical music practice. Coming back to music after a long gap, this app has made daily sadhana structured, engaging, and meaningful.
What truly stands out is the mind behind it! Sandeep Ranade is a rare geek + gayak, and that balance reflects throughout the app. There’s deep musical sensitivity, technical clarity, and genuine respect for the nuance and richness of ragas.
For learners who may not always have access to the right Guru, NaadSadhana becomes an invaluable support. Subtle, intelligent, and musically honest. Highly recommended!
