Itablapro App Reviews

This is the best tanpura app I have used so far. I use it for my music of course, but in addition that, I use it for meditation as well. I also use it to block all outside noise in public and focus on my work. Great app!! Great sound quality!

Its the best, enough said

Couple of years later I was grateful to find out I automatically could get the iPhone version. It's still by far my favorite app. I wish developers would do similar things for other styles if music. I'm not a Indian classical player, but I mess around with Kirtan. (Suggestion: set up your favorites so your 6, 8 and 16 beat tals are all easily available without having to scroll through all the other options. Yeah, someday I hope to play in 13 and a half, but until then...) I love the interface but what really makes it are the quality of the sounds. In fact I wish the tabla was available for playback through a sampler. I asked and got an immediate and polite no for an answer. Hmmmmmm, perhaps I should take off one star...

All you need!

The best ever tabla app. Suggest adding dholak, knoll if possible. Narayan

For $25 it's a tough sell, but I use his app every day of my for hours! It's perfect, totally worth it. The sounds are incredible and are the real thing, and it makes such a big difference! This app can do so many things!

I liked it. Easy to use. Although more instruments could be added.

Great app - I'm a beginner and it more than adequately meets my needs, but with all the bells and whistles, I have no doubt that this app will support me as I advance through my musical journey.

Almost replicates the tabla and tanpura.. An awesome app to practice and worth your money

Phenomenal Music

Congratulations Prasad. Wonderful App and has features makes singer fully equipped. I am in Cypress CA. Hope to see you some time.

I found the reference for this app on flutopedia. As a NAF style flute player always looking for backing tracks. This app is amazing even includes a shruti box drone. You can adjust the key to any flute and the myriad settings that come with it are enchanting. A wonderful way to experience actual East Indian beats and rhythms.

Makes playing Indian classical music so easy and fun. Great job.

Thanks

Upon purchasing this for 7 usd I realised the amount of disturbance is so loud .. unable to use. Hope this is a known issue and being worked on.

A must-have app for anyone needing a tampura sound. You can even tune it to other instruments. Truly grateful that this exists. I've used it in concert many times.

Regardless of it’s superb quality and status among music apps, this app deserves recognition for the developer’s attention to updating and maintaining it’s functionality across all iOS updates and model upgrades. This is how you put a quality app out there. I’ve been using this app casually since I got my first iPhone, a 4S. Well worth the price tag.

Very helpful to practice Hindustani music exercises

A great help to learn harmonium and singing

An excellent on-demand accompaniment on taanpura and tabla... with many fine-tuning modes that work flawlessly. The swarmandal only makes it even real. Jai Ho!

Fabulous!

I'm glad to have this app on my iPhone because I take it outdoors and busk with it playing blues licks and other dishonorable sonic mentions with numerous variations employed. It's a very powerful and flexible app that communicates well with the listeners as they pass by and fill my tip jar. And … why not?

It's never failed on me unlike other apps. It works well in tandem with recording apps and minimizes on the lock screen to show me the taal (which beginners often need). The tanpura is just fabulous--I can customize it to tune both or either. Can't get enough of this setup!

I have only one thing to say...... the best app

Would recommend to anyone who plays Indian music - I use it as an accompaniment with mandolin. Just moved from the lite version after testing it for several months. Great sound...so many ‘taals’ with multiple variations (possibly all known so far are there). Quality app.... no glitches....keep up the good work.

I'm not expert, but this app does exactly what I need it to do and it always does it well.

Top notch sound quality for accompaniment. Must for students of Hindustani Classical Music. Lot of functionality for a low price.

I have been trying to buy the karaoke recording app that is advertised in iTablaPro. But the App Store doesn’t seem to have it. Pl help

Beautiful apps for musicians for self practice.

I am a songwriter and it provides a good framework and structure for my compositions. I wanted to purchase the Karaoke add on in app but it is in the works due to incompatibility issues with current IOS. There was a very prompt response from the developer which is commendable.It is the best Tabla app and using it with a good Bluetooth speaker, the quality of sound is superb. Excellent value for money.

This is the best app available for anyone who wants to practice vocals with Tanpura and tabla. I am very happy with the pro version of the app.

This is really excellent app for professional performers and students as well. Just a small suggestion, sometimes when we have to perform light classical music we cannot select tanpura according to those mishra sur. Appreciate this small change to your app. Thanks.

This is a truly excellent app. The author has paid a lot of attention to detail. It works flawlessly. I'm learning to sing Indian bhajans and this is a huge help. Thanks!!!

This app is great! Totally worth the price ~ well done!!

Great for practice. It may seem expensive but I have not regretted one moment of having plunked down the cash for this! Does everything I need and the sound quality is superb.

I have purchased the add-on app and till date it has not worked on my iPad ! Even with repeated mails requesting to fix the issue, I do not see the issue being fixed. I so wanted this app to work for me!

Great app.

This app is an amazing app for my Sa Ra Ga Ma practices. I love the tabla in the background as well. This app is extremely well made and thought out.

I purchased this app years ago by paying the full price. Now it is asking me to pay again the full price. Not fair. Update 4/13/2017 I had accidentally downloaded trial version on my new device. Once I downloaded purchased app everything was good. The quality and the value of the app was never in question.

Easy to use, great sound, versatile, and complete. Awesome app!!!

This app is very useful as it has tanpura, tabla rhythm in a myriad of taals and the swaramandal. A great package. However it cannot be relied on or replace the actual tanpura or electronic tanpura. With recent iOS updates, something seems to be broken in the iTablaPro app. On playing the tanpura with a particular raga setting in the swarmandal, the tanpura pitch *slowly* starts going offtune. I have confirmed this happens only with iTablaPro and not with the electronic tanpura box. I had contacted Mr. Upasani but haven’t heard back. Kindly restore this app to the top quality it used to be.

This app is great. It does everything imaginable that I would need to sing classical Indian music. It has a tabla, tanpura, variations upon taals, etc etc. The price is right for what it does.

when connect my iPhone to my jbl speaker and play the metronome the sound is small in some beats. But at the same time when I stopped the apps and play music from liberty it’s okay when speaker. I don’t know what that problem.

This software was well designed. It is very easy to learn how to use all of the features just by opening all of the menus and reading the choices. The sound quality is excellent. I love how you can make the tabla play more fills for the vilambit tempo and choose between several variations of how it plays theka at any tempo. You can even fine tune the tampura settings in great detail. The designer thought of everything. I love how You can still see how much battery power is left on your phone while using. This app is any serious Hindusthani or Carnatic music student or performer’s best friend.

I have been using iTabla for quite a number of years now and use it almost daily. For many years I was a student of North Indian classical music, and for many years since, I have been a jazz musician, retaining many of the ideas and concepts of Indian music. So in addition to practicing ragas and talas, I also use it for less traditional purposes, such as non-traditional tanpura tunings, and for general practice in odd meters. Also, every musician can benefit from practicing regularly with a drone, as it can greatly improve your subtle sense of pitch. The app is also extremely well designed, and I would recommend it not just for students of Indian music (for whom it is really essential), but for any musician who wants to practice modal music with configurable drone accompaniment, or wants to practice in a wide variety of metric patterns. It also can provide a very useful background for all sorts of vocal exercises. Unless you have a couple of decent Indian musicians who can accompany you whenever you want, you should have this app, and probably even then.

I have used this numerous times for practice and performance. It's pricey for an app, which made me hesitant to purchase at first. However, it has been a great investment. It sounds great, it's flexible, it's easy to use, has a nice interface, and has numerous great features.

Please update it to fill the iPhone X display

Great app. I have gotten nothing but joy and happiness from this. I use it as background for playing my bansuri. Love this app. I have had it for years and still don't feel like I have scratched the surface of this apps abilities
