User Reviews

Users appreciate Bandish app's wide range of taals, realistic tanpura sound, and free availability with useful features for classical music practice. However, repeated issues include poor tabla sound quality, complicated and slow navigation in selecting taals and variations, unexpected stopping of playback, missing features like recording and tuning options, and usability problems such as the screen turning off during practice. Overall, the app is highly valued but has room for improvements mainly in tabla quality and user interface enhancements.

Pros

App offers a wide variety of taals including common ones like teental and kaharwa, suitable for different musical practices.
The sound quality of the tanpura is praised as realistic and pleasant, with a good low end.
The app is free to use and contains many features useful for Hindustani classical music practice.
User interface is generally appreciated for its simplicity and smoothness in tanpura playing.
The app supports playing in the background and remembers user settings such as BPM changes automatically.

Cons

Tabla sound quality is often criticized for being confusing, unnatural, and not matching expected bols.
Changing taals and variations can be cumbersome, requiring too many taps and complicated navigation through menus.
The tanpura or tabla sometimes stops playing after a few minutes, requiring app restart.
Lack of features such as recording, micro-tuning adjustments, and practice tracking is noted.
Screen does not stay on during use, causing interruptions, and no volume control for tabla is reported.
