What's New in Sangatkaar

2.6

September 8, 2026

Palta Practice — a tempo routine built into the Tabla tab. Set a destination and let the tabla take you there. Step jumps by a few BPM every so many cycles. Ramp glides the whole way instead. Pyramid climbs to the top and comes back down, over and over. "Until" is the destination, and it sets the direction: above your current tempo to speed up, below it to slow down. Hold − or + to cover ground quickly. When it arrives it either keeps playing there, or stops after a few more cycles and powers the tabla down. It works with the Metronome as well, and it steps aside in Sangat and picks up where it left off. THE TABLA TAB, REARRANGED Metronome Settings now has a place of its own beside Count-in, rather than hiding inside the panel — and it stops glowing once you have set it. The Riyaz Timer sits below the clock, which has not moved. On every control with a label and a switch, the label opens the settings and the switch only switches. Neither does the other's job any more. THE PRESETS LIST Search, Factory/User and the sort row now stay on screen while the list scrolls. The list fades at the bottom so you can see there is more below, and the last preset comes to rest in the middle of the screen instead of the very bottom. SOUND The sam is stronger. Beat one of every theka and every variation, across all 26 taals and both drums. The chati and baya now sit in the same balance on both platforms. Moving the tempo across a band boundary no longer dips the drums, and changing Base Sa no longer interrupts the baya — only the chati steps aside for its own change. BATTERY The audio engine goes properly quiet now. Stages with nothing to play stop running, and the audio stream itself stands down after a minute of silence, then wakes the moment you touch the screen. FIXES The tabla no longer starts and then restarts a few seconds later when you power it on straight after opening the app. The swarmandal no longer plays Sa over and over on its first pass — it plays your sequence, from the very first press. Larger text sizes no longer break the mixer labels. A phone call now stops everything and puts it all back exactly as it was when the call ends. The lock-screen transport is gone. Sangatkaar keeps playing with the screen off, without leaving a player card behind. The guided tour now runs to 71 steps and covers Palta Practice.

User reviews

Bell option required

If bell option can be provided as an optional for sam will be helpful for new learner. Rest the instrument sound quality is very good. Thanks

Great app but needs a few improvements

This is a great accompaniment for Riyaz. The sounds are almost natural however if a couple of tweaks can be made, this will easily replace any competitor apps.

1, the base sa string of Tanpura sounds a bit artificial with more base and weight than really required. Tanpura can sound a little more natural.

2. Tabla sounds very authentic however, for some reason the Sam isn’t carrying the weight it should carry. Consulting a professional tablist and correcting it, will really help

Response from developer

Than you so much for your review. If you go to fine adjust, you can control the amount of Javari you prefer. Tablas have been co-produced by an amazingly talented musician. Will push the update with more weight on Sam in a future update for sure. Do try the App with a good bluetooth speaker for an even better experience.

Great app for music lovers

Loving it. Beautifully designed and refreshingly simple to use. Packed with so many useful features, this app is genuinely enjoyable to use — whether you’re just starting out or pushing toward advanced levels, it meets you right where you are. A real gem for serious students, with something valuable for every stage of learning.

Thank you so much! Update 2.5 is bringing more goodies with it! I cannot wait to share it with everyone. :)

UI/UX improvements

The app needs a good ui/ux revision, few things are not intuitive, keep it simple..
and in terms of tabla , itablapro is the best in market, Swarmandal is only highlight, tanpura javari adjustment feature i dunno how much it’s required… swarmandal raags are also limited… overall i wouldn’t pay 4k, I’m more than happy with itablapro

Thanks so much for the review. The app is designed to be used in one orientation per device due to the features and usability factors. It still appears in portrait mode on iPad but in landscape view.
