iTanpura App Reviews

... but swar mandal volume adjustment does not work (Iphone6). Developers, please correct and upload update.

Good product but super pricey therefore not recommended if u already have a shruti box. Also the product does not have tabla samples or beats so that restricts the functionality as well. Over all 6/10.

awesome product, and the sound quality is excellent the other reviewer said this app was pricy, but keep in mind most electronic tanpura machines are around $200 USD highly recommended

Wgjkk Wgjkf I was about to buy swarmandal, but then thought may be i should try this app before buying swarmandal. This is a great application for vocals, recordings, instruments like sarangi, taus. I did couple recordings with this, which turned out to be awesome. Recommended to every one who likes Raags. Thanks.

simply brilliant! THE best! makes singing experience even better. I am in bliss. thank youfor this! I dont have to depend on shruti box while driving, walking, singing on the beach. thank you a life time! would love mrudangam too! regards, vidya nataraj ( classical vocalist and educator)

For anyone who love Indian music.

Fantastic software, great sound, good function, good for practice and also good for concert, GREAT!!!

Great application...! The sound is much realistic....!

Really professional !! Thank you!

The sound is very good and clear especially when having 2 tanpuras in stereo. I really ask for the promised upgrade with tempo control and if possible more tuning or transposing possibilities of each tanpura separately. I know this might not be in the rules of classic indian music, sorry, but are we not in a fusion time of all cultures nowadays? Lets open our imagination and creativity ! Ill give it 5 * after such an upgrade.

Saves lugging around large machines. Looking forward to tabla version.

Its hard enough finding tanpura software for the computer that is usable, tunable, and not priced out of this world so to have a product like this for the iPhone/iPod Touch is fantastic! No more portability issues - no more dealing with a computer - no more having to use untunable CDs! Highly recommended and worth every penny!

This thing sounds incredible! My sitar teacher is here from India and was so impressed that hes going to pick up an ipod touch just to have this app!

this is wonderful, simple yet professional quality- please, consider making a tabla as well!

This is a great application - one that convinced me to purchase an Iphone! In fact, Apple should be giving the creator of this app some commission, instead of the other way around. The sound quality and attention to detail is simply marvelous. The controls are very easy to use. For instance, I was able to quickly transform a pre-selected Ahir Bharaiv from G# to A# and a C#. The dual Tanpura opens up a whole plethora of options. With this app, one can practice on the go, instead of carrying a tanpura / e-tanpura around. You can now have a music class in a car!

I am a vocalist and tabla player and I use iTanpura and iLehra every day. I was blown away when I saw them in the first place and bought them both immediately as the first apps I purchased on my phone. iTanpura has incredible, sampled real tanpura sound that you can plug into any speakers or just use the phones speakers. We recorded sarod and tabla with a digital condenser recorder with the iTanpura in the background and it sounds like there is a real tanpura in the room. We even had to turn the phone down, without having it connected to any speakers! ilehra is great for practicing and with future updates will continue to be my most heavily used app. Save yourself the $300 on an electric tanpura by getting this app! Its just as good, maybe better.

Beautiful sound with fantastic feature, and all in a small mobile form factor that I can keep with me at all times, makes this a must-have electronic tanpura. Not to mention its much cheaper than the the big shruti boxes I used to carry around. And the Swar Mandal just puts it over the top!

This app works great. Used in several concerts so far. The fine tuning makes it easy to tune with the non standard harmoniums (which is needed a lot of times). The panning also gives a great effect, especially when the first string is tuned to different notes. Prasad, thanks for coming up with such a wonderful product and making it easy to use!

Prasad Upasani knows Indian music, and has here created a Tanpura application that will appeal to scholars of raga, new age composers, those who meditate to the tanpuras relaxing voice, and more. This has replaced my $100+ hardware Raagini. I look forward to using iTanpura in my own compositions, chakra and hypnosis backgrounds. No scholar of Indian music myself (though I do play a little sitar), I find the instrument flexible and perfect for my use. It is the most expensive app Ive purchased, and a real bargain. Congratulations to Prasad on a rare accomplishment and wonderful use of the iPhones potential.

Thanks for making the best electronic drone to date! And also for making it affordable. I can only pray you all make a tabla accompaniment ap next that can change tals without losing the beat! I hope you make a nice nut from this gem and keep up the good work;)
