"Tabla has encountered an error: Couldn't instantiate Inter-App Audio node: error -1. Open Tabla, quit it using the Multitasking screen, then retry" I've got this error in loopy pro and Aum. Tried few things but cannot solve. Toi bad because you app sounds awesome! Tom IPad 26.1 ### 5/5 — Good and fantastic for tabla players *2024-10-25* Goodest. Fanatasticest **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the positive feedback! ;D ### 5/5 — Good *2024-08-13* I’m from india and I love this app **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the positive feedback! ;D ### 4/5 — There is no option to remove ads *2024-03-31* The app’s page says Remove Ads for $1.99 but inside the app, there is no such option to remove ads ### 5/5 — Nice music! *2024-03-16* I really like music, and these are like drums! Instruments are my favorite! ### 2/5 — Don’t want score in every 30 sec *2024-02-11* While practicing it provides score in every 30 seconds, that’s very irritating specially, for the newcomer who wants to learn. While they are about to go in that rhythm, the score breaks at rhythm. You should allowed to control the speed of the loop while learning and practicing. ### 5/5 — About this tabla app *2023-12-10* I can say… only great, great and really great. ### 5/5 — Good *2023-10-06* Amazing tuned, bright setup of tabla enjoyable than ordinary ### 5/5 — Thank You *2023-06-12* I have always wanted to learn Tabla. This app gives me hope. I hate disturbing others learning a new Instrument…it is best to let the Instrument speak for itself. But I love Indian Classical Music and this app helps me to appreciate it more! ### 2/5 — Drains Battery *2023-02-25* Decent app but it drains battery like anything. It is always on in the background & sucking battery. Uninstalled it. ### 5/5 — Very good *2022-09-23* Amazing app me and my friends love it ### 5/5 — Tabla *2022-05-21* Thanks **Developer response:** Thanks!!! ### 4/5 — For the love of Tabla *2022-02-06* I love tabla. It cheers Aarish Gumtya up. He says 9:00 AM “ play tabla” 12:00 PM “ play tabla” . As well as other times for example 1:00” play tabla.” 3:00” play tabla” **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2022-01-13* Nice love it **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’ll pass *2026-05-26* Interesting sounds. Had some potential but the constant advertisements and interruptions make for a very unpleasant experience. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2026-02-18* Very weird and has no ghe that resonates. Has no tuu that can be used in dadra theka. It would also be better to play leers for certain known thekas / taals. But that would only bring it up to a 3 for me. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-07-29* 広告がおおすぎるにゃん🥵 **Developer response:** Hello! We understand how ads can be frustrating. Unfortunately, they’re currently the only way we can keep the app free. The type, timing, and number of ads are controlled by Google Play, not by us. That said, we truly value your feedback! If you’d like to remove ads, feel free to try our Premium version! ### 1/5 — Worst *2023-02-22* This is the worst app ### 1/5 — ADs *2022-06-20, version 5.19.1* This app has a fraction of Tabla’s features and it is plagued with excessive ads. For people who use such apps once in 3 or 4 months, it doesn’t make sense to pay monthly subscription. Just offer an option to make a one time payment for full version. Or offer an option to make one time payment to remove just ads. It says Remove Ads $1.99 on this App Store page but there is no such option inside the app. There is only subscription for $1.99 per month. The App Store listing is inaccurate. Thoughts? ### 1/5 — Tabla ? *2022-05-05* Full of lame annoying ads for some reason🤬What are you charging me for ??!! BIG WASTE OF TIME tapped it 3 times it went to more commercials 👎👎👎👎BOOOO GET A LIFE DUDE WTFAIL I WANT MY MONEY BACK YOU CHISELER **Developer response:** Tell more us about that!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-11-28* Totally pointless app!! **Developer response:** Why did you think it? ### 1/5 — too many spam you can not turn off *2020-07-08* too many spam you can not turn off, it takes control of your phone **Developer response:** Sorry for this 😔 ### 1/5 — Full of ads *2020-05-16* Its very frustrating if you do not buy the premium. **Developer response:** Sorry for this! 😔 ### 1/5 — Very bad.. hung most of the time and need to restart *2020-04-25* Not happy **Developer response:** 😔 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Title *2026-08-05* Review ### 5/5 — This made my son a master chef tabla player *2026-06-10* This is very good app to use I am Indian my English not good ### 5/5 — Nice but could be better *2026-04-30* I would like to learn the zitar why not make that avalible to tune and play ### 5/5 — Вот *2026-03-19* Крупа ### 5/5 — Very good and very nice *2025-10-25* Very good and very nice ### 5/5 — This heavenly app changed my life *2025-08-12* I was just sitting in my room, considering some horrible things that could end my life, all because there was nothing left for me, but as i installed this app, my spark was ignited, i was happy again, no thoughts of pain, just joy from this wonderful app Tabla.
