ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iTabla Sangat holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dholak has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Dholak's written reviews are positive against 0% of iTabla Sangat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
