There is no feature to put repeat mode. Every time need to play section manually which is really annoying and cannot concentrate on learning. Please check and get this fixed. ### 4/5 — Bug fixes needed *2024-01-17* So I’ve recently download the app and soon enough went ahead with the premium. The app all in all is an amazing one stop solution and a perfect blend of learning and practicing, but I’ve been facing two major bugs: 1. Once you loop for practice, either you loop segments individually or loop all, it gets stuck, I have to hit pause, restart and then it begins to work. 2. It just won’t take voice. The inconsistency is huge and creates a bad experience overall when you’re trying to practice and correct yourself. It simply won’t show my voice curve and sometimes will suddenly show a note and then blank again. Please resolve this for smoother functioning of the app. ### 4/5 — Need improvement *2023-05-10* I like the app but the practices don’t include my key, C natural. The app is also slow to respond and requires you to put headphones on, which is an inconvenience. ### 3/5 — Update introduced lot of bugs *2023-01-16* I used to like this app a lot. But the rent updates have spoiled it charm as there are many bugs in the app now. First of all, the buttons for login in with any of non-Apple ID features do not work. The option for changing the course preferences to match my pitch also does not work…rather it’s stuck at the preference of having same gender for courses. It’ll be great if the developer can correct these bugs. ### 2/5 — Good but could be better *2023-01-06, version 77.4.2* This app is great for people who are willingly wanting to learn how to sing but they don’t know how to, When I downloaded this app I thought it would help me and teach me how to sing but this is so frustrating for me no matter how I try I have no progress with this. ### 3/5 — Refix scoring system *2022-10-29* I want to inform that there are few places which you don’t get good score properly even after singing perfectly these are some glitches which confuses students whether this is the right thing they are doing or not sometimes if you don’t sing at some places you get a star and at some places singing accurately you get red mark the app doesn’t show all the things correctly please look into this issue and try to refix it. ### 1/5 — "Update" ruined the app *2022-07-31* It was the best app for ruyaz before the whole "update". It always gives the message "error fetching data" whenever I try to open the app. Tried contacting the developers.. but to no avail. Pathetic! ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-07-23* I want to be able to open different music lessons but the app keeps crashing upon opening certain lessons ### 3/5 — Subscription not showing *2022-06-15* Dear Developer It is a very nice app for learning mysic no doubt. I started with my premium membership with “Riyaz premium yearly pack 2 (1yr) on 15th August,21 valid till 15th August,22, but it was idle and I was not using where as I started using recently but I am afraid my premium membership is Null and to use the premium segment’s it again asking to take membership. I asked to Riyaz team on watsapp with all related subscription screen shot as evidence , but couldn’t find any concrete solution, whereas they stated it is a technical glitch from App store. Kindly look into this matter and reinstate my membership so as to use all the premium contents. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. ### 1/5 — Singalong feature is NOT based on original songs *2022-05-24* I bought this app based on singalong feature that i had seen when i first checked out the app. After purchasing yearly subscription i see that original songs are substituted by recorded version from other people. Don’t like this at all!!! Cancelled the subscription but cant get my money back, hardly used it for a month, feel cheated. ### 4/5 — Fantastic content.. but too slow *2022-04-20* Riyaz is loaded with great content. It’s richness is amazing. Big dampner is its slow speed and issues like loss of information, some practice plans failing to load etc. Waiting to have an agil and bug free experience of this content King app. ### 2/5 — Subscription Misleading in the Purchase Details *2022-03-20, version 75.4.1* Seems to be a pretty good app, with what I have been able to determine—which is not much in 8 minutes, yet that could change. In purchase details in the information below, it gives a list of options for subscriptions & price, and the Beginner for $9.99 a month would be perfect! However, when option popped up only 2 Options: Annual/monthly $88.99/$24.49, respectively; nothing else. With updates, ALL the information ABOUT the app (for transparency purposes), and not just saying “bug fixes” should be included. Since this is not a technical review, I don’t expect it to be considered. Even if there was one, it would be the same response as previously seen with poor grammar English. Also, not everyone uses WhatsApp just sayin’… Emails would be the best contact method. ### 1/5 — App is not good , poor customisation *2022-03-02* All features are good but we go for riyaz it’s alankars should bhi loop in long, looping is very poor, we wana riyaz alankar many times but Riyaz played once only and disappear and new window opens, it just irritating some features not working properly, tanpura is not running properly, I am talking about premium one, every-time I come to Riyaz, I just frustrated, so this time decided to write a review, it’s should have more customisable features. **Developer response:** This isn’t the experience we would like to deliver. We would like to know more about the problem you are facing. Hence please contact us on WhatsApp - +917975412519. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Good *2021-09-07, version 74.1.0* I have downloaded the app and subscribed for a year today. I am concerned that : there is no option to listen to your own recording . There are no FAQs to understand how to use the app more productively And most important- no option to contact the app provider through the app as such had to take recourse through an initial review. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-09-03* It literally won’t track my singing unless I’m like screaming into the speaker. **Developer response:** This isn’t the experience we would like to deliver. We would like to know more about the problem you are facing. Hence please contact us on WhatsApp - +917975412519. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not optimized for iPad! *2025-01-28* The app is not optimized for iPad Pro or any large screens like tablets. I hope you work on that and fix it because it’s so annoying. **Developer response:** We hear you and completely understand the frustration! 🙏 A great experience on larger screens like iPad Pro matters, and we appreciate you flagging this. We'll make sure this reaches our development team. For any other feedback, WhatsApp us: +919036102279. Thank you for helping us improve! 🎵 ### 1/5 — Won’t register my high note? *2024-09-08* So how long should I have to hold my high note before it’s registered? Very amateurish! Do not use! Other apps are much simpler! **Developer response:** We're sorry for the frustration! 🙏 Note detection on Riyaz should be near instant — so something is definitely not right here. This could be due to a few reasons and we'd love to diagnose and fix it for you personally. Please WhatsApp us: +919036102279 — we'll get to the bottom of it! 🎵 ### 1/5 — Neeraj Mehra *2024-05-18* Guys please don’t waste your time and money on this app. It’s been a month and this my review. Multiple times I have seen even after singing the sur perfectly they mark it as incorrect. Earlier I thought it’s my mic issue but I have changed multiple earphones but problem still exists. Imagine you are here to learn but despite singing well it is marking you incorrect and there by impacting your moral and confidence. I think the developers of the app have no intention to fix bugs and bring improvement of the app. This review is specially for IPhone users. Please don’t subscribe until they improve the app for IOS. ### 1/5 — Can’t find the songs *2024-05-01* Earlier I was able to look for songs I want to practice and there was a sing along. But now I couldn’t find any songs in the app ### 1/5 — App is not displaying notes after high octave Sa *2024-03-24* While in Tanpura mode with pitch set to C, it is not displaying notes from high octave Sa. ### 1/5 — Do not take their subscription *2024-01-07* Do not subscribe this app, rather buy every year if you have to. I have been using this aap for past three years. Every year they take money (auto deduct) and then subscription does not auto renew. And then I have to chase them for weeks to get it sorted. This has happened 3 years in a row, I am still waiting for my subscription to start and payment was made in August last year. ### 1/5 — No option for courses *2023-06-24, version 85.0.3* It had very good option to learn songs and do Riyaz before so K subscribed at $180 for 1 year but now it’s updated and getting worse. No any option for courses and different system to learn song which is very worse than before. if it comes before system in this app I appreciate otherwise it just stay here to claim the money. ### 1/5 — Nothing works not even registration *2023-06-15* Nothing works not even registration ### 1/5 — App is stuck infinitely- very cumbersome *2023-01-30* What an atrociously bad user experience for 110$ an year. More expensive than Microsoft office suite but cannot take two lessons consecutively without the app rebooting. Going to cancel subscription immediately. May revisit if better experience is restored. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore. *2022-11-30* I used to train using this app 2 years ago. It was great. But now nothing works. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app available *2024-05-03* Woah. It has good all kinds of syllabus including carnatic. Smart tanpura and option to chose our own key/shruthi. Only issue i see is singing along, the pitch graph is getting spiked many times. Overall such an asset for every learner. ### 5/5 — App issue resolved *2023-04-21, version 85.0.3* An update to my previous review. The issue have been resolved. The support is very responsive and sorted the issue very swiftly. Great app for anyone who loves singing and wants to improve. ### 5/5 — Carnatic intermediate and advanced levels *2022-11-13* Can you add carnatic intermediate and advanced levels too along with beginner? ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-02-20* So I got bummed out after my eye strain due to excess tv watching got worse. I was at a loss on what to do post dinner. Ran a search on singing apps and Riyaz came up. I can’t begin to tell you how good it is. I spent 3 hours doing swar gyan. And am really excited as singing is my first love and I am stuck at home. Thank you Team Riyaz. **Developer response:** Glad to know that you like Riyaz. Please help us by spreading the word amongst your friends. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please whatsapp us at +917975412519. We would love to hear from you! ### 5/5 — Best app ever!!! *2020-12-19* Riyaz is truly the best app ever! Its vast wealth of brilliantly designed singing lessons is both challenging and fun. What a great blessing these masters of voice have brought to the world.

I practice daily for 1hour and so good. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn singing. ### 5/5 — AzizPyare *2020-09-09, version 5.2.1* It is very awesome Thanks ### 5/5 — Anybody can become pro with this app *2020-08-19* Worth spending on this wonderful app, it tracks ur voice with the lesson, where we can see our graph and know level of our voice, amazing app just love it ### 5/5 — I purchased a subscription but it won’t show *2020-08-14* I love the app and it was working wonderfully until I decided to purchase a monthly pack. I purchased a monthly pack so I can more time for Riyaz, however even though the money has been deducted from my account,I cannot see my subscription active on the app. ### 5/5 — Just the Right App for Learning Indian Classical Music *2020-07-17* Nothing can replace a Guru. However, if you don’t have one, this app should be your best bet. You might struggle to get the handle on it initially but the more you practice the better you shall become.
