Trial is too limited, read this as 0 star rating

Only 1 scale how can someone even try if the app is even worth it, deleting it as I can’t validate my use case here.

Thank you for your feedback. The free version includes one scale so users can try the app before upgrading. We appreciate your suggestion and will consider expanding the free offering in future updates.

I got charged double!

I purchased a lifetime subscription of 2999 today . I had to purchased an annual subscription of 1299 last year and this year I wanted to renew it so I saw the option of a lifetime subscription so I took the lifetime subscription, but there was 5000 rupees in my Apple account so they drew out 2999 plus they also took 1299 because it was on auto pay. I don’t know if it’s a glitch from Apple or but I would like to request the developer. I would like to request Sanam to reverse this 1299 because I want to continue with the lifetime subscription which I’ve already paid for. So I will appreciate if Sanam messages me back or revert to my query. The app is really good.

Very good app, but shy of great

SurTaal - Alankar is an extremely useful practice aid. I’m very happy I found it. There are a few things that would allow it to rise to the level of “great” that it lacks:
1. It should allow for editing, copying and deletion of custom and preset alankars. One should have control over the addition and deletion of rests
2. Overall pitch should be adjustable up or down in increments of cents
3. There should be a choice of various melodic instruments such as harmonium, bansuri, sarangi, etc.
With these additions it would easily be a 5 star app in my opinion.
