User reviews

Users find SurSadhak useful and easy for classical practice with tabla and tanpura, praising its features and interface. However, many encounter bugs: app crashes, pitch and tuning inaccuracies (especially with tanpura), rhythm and tempo synchronization issues, and missing advanced features. Sound quality and tabla performance at slow tempos are also concerns. Despite improvements and a loyal user base, the app needs fixes and enhancements to address these consistent problems.

Pros

Good app for practicing Indian classical music with tabla and tanpura accompaniment.
User-friendly interface that is easy to navigate.
Includes common taals and allows tuning pitch and tempo adjustments.
Helps develop voice modulation and singing skills.
Free version available and premium version without ads.

Cons

Repeated crashing or app closing unexpectedly during use, especially when playing tabla or after recent updates.
Tanpura pitch issues: starts at incorrect pitch or resets to G#3 on opening, and distorted or odd sounds at certain notes like Ma and Ni.
Tabla rhythm problems including off-beat taals, stopping at vilambit speeds, and confusing rhythm changes when pausing or switching instruments.
Tempo and beat synchronization issues: tempo changes cause the beat to restart disrupting rhythm continuity, with delay or monotony in beats.
Lack of features such as multiple variations per beat, fills, master tuning, and better fine tuning options.

Recent reviews

This app is flawed. it stops after about 15 min with no warning. when restarted it will start on G# regardless of where the tanpura was earlier playing but the labeling will be at original setting. I have reported this to the app owners and no support or fixes provided for over 4 months.
