Shruti Box User Reviews

Top reviews

Sounds nothing like a shruti box

Just sounds like an 80s new wave ooooh voice synth you’d hear from Depeche Mode or OMD.

It Actually Works Great!

Those who dislike it simply don’t understand it. It works perfectly and has beautiful “voice” selections. The virtual Shruti box can be “pumped” by moving the volume slider up and down with one finger - actually easier than a “real” Shruti box.

Don’t bother...

...not worth the space on your device.

Lousy sound

Doesn’t sound even remotely like a Shruti Box

Absolutely brilliant!

Strongly recommended for practice with any wind instrument.

Bad app

Third class app,don’t buy.It should not be included in app store

Didnt like it

Please need a refund sent an email to u quality is poor

No sound on iPhone 6s

Will not produce any sound on my iPhone 6s. I had to download a free software after forking out money for this app.

update doesn't work... no sound

and crashes as a bonus

Great sounding Shruti box.

Very welcome update, but still needs Audiobus or IAA compatibility. The lack of these options limits its use.
Please add!

Cheap sounds

Disappointed

Not useful for Carnatic music

Not very helpful for Carnatic vocal

Mr Neyzenx

This is a great app! I think the other reviewers don't understand what a Shruti Box is used for. If you are doing Indian Music you will like this app. The Pa and Ma are actually beatless against the Sa, if one selects Harmonic in the settings. The interface is obvious to folks who have used a real acoustic Shruti box.

Sounds awful!

I feel like I am listening to a oscilloscope not a musical instrument

Horrible tone generator

Not a shruti sound, no dynamics, just a tone generator. Not really worth a buck.

Very difficult to use

This app is not very user friendly. As a beginner i wish it was easier to work with.

not a good app

didn't like it
I cannot select. sa pa sa

Not a true Shruti sound

This is more like a synth drone. Might be better if it had some way to control vibrato or a simulation of squeezing the bellows. Doesn't quite get the sounds right either.

No

Sounds like Brian Eno in a portapotty

No real Shrutibox sound

I really did not expect a wonder, so my deception was not that big when I heard the electronically pitched sounds of this app: Absolutely no comparison to the original!

Nonetheless a nice gimmick to play with...
