This is undoubtedly the best. Of course, scope for improvement always exist. -- Sreedhar Vedula, 2025-07-12 ### ****- "Awesome app" I just loved this app as I took it in bundle pack it was worth a money , one correction I would tell the team that they should have button for increasing base like we get the voice in real tanpura with full base … even old electronics tanpura are better sound . I would really like team to improvise on this -- Tejas chhadwa, 2025-03-08 ### ***** "Please add The Raga - Vachaspathi and Gawathi" Please add The Vachaspathi and Gawathi -- Chidambar joshi, 2024-12-11 ### ****- "Problem needs to be solved…" Tanpura Sound and pitching are good, soothing, perfect. But I face another problem, whenever I play this app my phone gets hot. It’s very bothersome. -- Artist Neer, 2024-05-18 ### *---- "Bass is Missing" Please add some bass on the Tanpuras in by default settings. I know we can level up the bass by using PAN left and right settings but it’s reduced the output that’s why please add some bass in by default settings. Without harming or changing any settings. I am using Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 expensive Bluetooth Speaker for the better sound output but still there is NO BASS. -- LakhanKoli, 2024-04-20 ### **--- "Tanpura is not producing perfect sound" Pls checked it with any renowned artist because it’s live error I think you solve this as soon as possible single tanpura double tanpura and with swarmondal -- charu chandra singh, 2022-09-07 ### ***** "Suggestion" Hi Team, The best app for the musicians. The awesome sound quality i have ever heard. Please go head with further updates. Can you include recording feature in itanpura which is there in itabla pro that will be usefull. Thanks Akhilesh A Menon -- akhilmenon, 2022-05-25 ### *---- "Stopped working .. attention developer / customer care" I purchased iTanpura app through ios App Store. Now it stops working when I want to record … please help resolve this issue Ramesh 98946 70392 -- Ramesh Muthuraman, 2022-04-12 ### ***-- "Useless presets" Preset cannot be deleted and this is a great nuisance and detracts from performance. -- hk334, 2022-03-02 ### ****- "Needs a start and stop feature" Great app. Can you add a start and stop play button? -- Anu Raga, 2021-08-29 ### ****- "Refund of amount" Hi By mistake I tabbed this app and 1299 has been deducted . I don’t need this app . Please refund and I am ready to delete this app from my phone Regards -- subaha 1, 2021-06-28 ### *---- "Duped" I paid 1299 last weekend for the app. But still I am not getting non stop use. And their app support is pathetic. -- mitocondalal, 2021-03-16 ### ***** "Suggestion in future" iTanpura is the best app ever among Carnatic musicians. I have a suggestion that could you please implement sub bass on tanpura strings which musician can customisable. For a reference, the base tone from Ragini electronics tanpuras exhibits such kind of tones. I am using Marshall stockwell bluetooth speaker along with iTanpura app for my concerts. If i adjust bass and trebles i affects the whole tones. Customised option to change bass strength of tone will give much more realism. -- Rahul R Nath, 2020-11-25 ### ***-- "Need sn option!" The app is heavenly nice and the sound quality is also good. But I have a suggestion, like the scale C#, please add the Jawari option for all the scales and octaves. Please solve this issue as soon as posible. Thank you -- Gouri Naik, 2020-02-02 ### ***** "Best Tanpura app out there! Go for it" This is a brilliant app! Been using this for a few years now. It has the best audio quality I’ve seen so far. The interface is very easy to use. Has no bugs and works perfectly fine. The screen resolution is not optimised for newer iPhones but it doesn’t create any problems.Would highly recommend buying this. Worth the price. -- Suraag, 2019-09-23 ### ***** "Lovely" I just love this application but the swarmandal sound is not natural sound .....if you notice the ishala application then you will see the swarmandal sound is like original sound... so please try to fixed it -- shubha khamaru, 2019-09-08 ### ***** "Refund Regarding" Can you refund my money i dont want to purchase this app i need onliny one app iTablaPro with tanpura. Please apple refund my money. Thank you -- simrangad, 2018-11-24 ### ****- "Brilliant but..." Itanpura is the best quality tanpura i have heard.It has such a professional sound to it .The omly problem I have with it ,is when the drone is played through my speakers,i could hear cuts in the sound in the middle. That would not sound well on a stage . I request you too please attend to this issue immediately.Otherwise the app is great. Thanks -- Srinidhi0611, 2016-07-08 ### ***** "Amazing stuff!!" I've been I been using this application for over a year now. it's amazing. I don't find issues with it and it feels like an actual Tanpura and the swarmandal is great. It brings me back to the right mood. Loving it. Kudos to the developers!! -- VDKhandal, 2015-03-22 ### ***** "Itanpura" Excellent piece . Delivers quality sound closest to real tanpura.
