4/5Excellent App but Crashing for IOS 14
A very good app for everyday Riyaaz but it seems to be crashing with IOS 14. Is there going to be an update to fix the issue?

5/5Long-time professional user of this app
I have been using this app for my concerts and practice for over a decade. Clean, quality sound; perfectly in tune at all shrutis; features for Carnatic music like the 6-matra strum pattern and the ability to turn off the 4th string; and many more features that makes this a no-brainer staple for a practicing musician or student. A relatively expensive app, but the developer has truly put care into it and made it a robust, high quality instrument that we forget the cost of over the years!

5/5Excellent
An excellent sounding tanpura. They seem to have thought of everything. Tuning can be changed both by cents and more traditional means. You basically get 2 tanpura, each with 2 strings, all can be set differently and played at the same time if desired. Ability for user presets (thank you!). L/R pan. Loops can be varied by minutes or not at all (continuous). I patch this out of my iPhone and into my Roland and then in to DAW. Works great. And oh -- you can find the master volume under the Harp icon.

5/5Very useful and convenient
This app has saved me several times when I was asked to sing and didn't have a sruthi box. Before this app, i use to have hard time singing at my pitch during an adhoc request. Very useful, convenient and life saver for singers. I would highly recommend it. I have tried using other apps, but none as effective

1/5Stopped working. No app support
I have loved this app forever. Today when I went to demonstrate it, nothing. I can’t turn either tanpura on and I can’t find any way to get support from the developer or upgrade to the paid version. I’m on an iphone 6 running a fully updated ios. What happened, Prasad?
