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.

Response from developer

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.

Prem

Just downloaded and seems awesome.

App

Nice but not what I was looking for

The Only App You Need For Indian Classical Practice

Love the simple ui and Alankaar & Raag Practice options, Only one small feature request, the only thing missing is a dedicated Tanpura + Tabla option for vocal riyaaz, as of now user can go to the Tabla page and mute the lehra instrument to get the same kind of result, but having a dedicated page just with Tanpura + Tabla + Swar Mandal would just make it perfect, something like iTablaPro, then it becomes an all in one app, thanks!

Love this app

Totally in love with this app especially the self creation version

Buggy app when iPhone locked

I really enjoy the features available when the app is open, especially being able to play the Raag with various adjustments.

However, I’ve noticed a few issues. After locking the screen, the tabla often stops playing after a few seconds, and the string accompaniment may eventually turn off as well. Additionally, if I receive a call, the music stops and does not resume automatically afterward.

For a paid version, this kind of behavior is unexpected. I hope the developers can address these bugs so we can enjoy the app to its full potential.

Response from developer

It looks like there was a payment issue. If the amount was deducted but the premium isn’t activated, the refund will be processed automatically. If not, please contact your payment provider or our support team.

Riyaz

A very good app for Riyaz. Although some Raags like Pahadi Madhuvanti are missing but I’m sure developers will add them sooner or later. Also I want to upgrade my subscription to lifetime. App not allowing as already I have bought 1 year. Please help.

Response from developer

Please msg us at info@ktm-studio.com. we will help you to upgrade your 1-year plan to a lifetime membership. Thank you for your support :)

Amazing app wonderful

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful application it’s a gold mine for amateurs and professionals too.

Bad experience

I downloaded and purchased early premium membership from the application itself, the app is opening and crashing by its own. Please help if you can.

Response from developer

Thank you for contacting us. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the app. To resolve this, could you please go to the settings page and reset the data? If the issue continues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at info@ktm-studio.com. We're here to help. Thank you!

Very promising app but lacking some crutial features

Must have features that are missing
1. No harmonium sound to accompany alankars. ( In sep 2023 they said that they are already working on it, it been 9 months and still that is not added)

Good to have features that will make this app best in market
1. Integrate vocal pitch monitor to app so see if we are hitting notes properly. There are already many apps that do this for free like Singscope, nail the pitch.
2. UI can be improved, the app only works in portrait mode. Ipad is mostly used in landscape mode and hence this is problematic.
3. Adding some more vocals for aakar, om etc
4. Some way to add ornamentations like meedh / vibrato when doing alankars
5. Options to have western notations too.

Response from developer

Thank you for your support and feedback. We are testing different harmonium sounds but still we haven't got the best result yet. We understand the significance of the harmonium sound for alankars and are actively working on implementing it. We apologize for any delay and appreciate your patience. Your input is invaluable, and we're committed to delivering the best experience possible. Thank you.
