  1. 5/5A great practice tool!

    I auditioned several apps looking for a simple device to improvise over and work on my time. This app is limited in function but with a little creativity, surprisingly useful. It’s easy to navigate and set up. It gives you enough control over parameters to be very creative. Well Done!

  2. 5/5WoW

    Bandish has provided a simple and easy way to sing. Now I don’t have to get confused by using different apps for tanpura and metronome. In fact, the Tabla is a lot better than metronome. It helps me stay on beat. I also like how you don’t have to use both. This app has not dissatisfied me in any way!
