Pros and cons of iTablaPro app for iPhone and iPad

iTablaPro app good for

Excellent app. You get what you pay for. Fully functional. Superb interface. The additional tanpuras work perfect and their volume can be adjusted. The taals (rhythmic cycles) given are great. I would only love that, in next update, more varieties of thekas/bols for the different taals, be included. For instance, in my times in Varanasi, i.e. from 1970 to 1984, the Pancham Savari theka we used was different : dhin na dhidhi kat, dhindhin nadhin dhina tin, kredhindha terekete tuna katta dhin - - dha, - kre dhin -, - dha - kre or dhidhi nadhi dhina (for the last 3 matras) Anyhow, congratulations and keep up the good work. To recommand.

great design wich give full ergonomy and great sound quality thank you so much!!

Great! The only thing one should be able to tune the tabla ALSO! I would like to Play A2 on tanpura keeping A3 on tabla!!

I just could not live Without this app, amazing features, great sound... Many taal , tanpura is great...and updates are free, love it !

Pros too - it was my teacher who recommended it. All the taals youll need, any tempo, interface easy to use. And all in your pocket! Best investment Ive made in a long time.

Excellent App. Outstanding tonal quality for the Tabla. Very easy to use.

Some bad moments

All talas, on both iPhone and iPad start 4 beats late, means everything is of by 4 beats. There is no link to developer - the “report the problem” takes you to developers website, there is no E mail no actual report the problem link. Very disappointing - for the money it is rip off.

There is some distortion No variation in tabla like in Riazstudio There is auto tabla variation after every 4 or 8 bars, that gives you a real feel

After trying so many free versions and reluctant to pay for this app, finally I made a move for this, and it is such an amazing, well programmed app, that it is worth lot more than I paid for it. Thanks guys for building this.
