User Reviews

iShala is praised for its strong tanpura tones and convenient—if imperfect—practice features, but suffers from stability and audio reliability issues plus an aging UI. The app offers an integrated tanpura/tabla/lehera toolkit that users find valuable for riyaz, but crashes and inconsistent sound detract from the experience.

Pros

Excellent tanpura sound quality (deep and rich).
All-in-one feature set: tanpura, tabla, and lehera in a single app.
Very useful for practice/riyaz and generally intuitive to use.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability (crashes when changing settings; frequent app crashes).
Audio issues: no sound or intermittent playback, external speaker/Bluetooth problems, and need to reinstall in some cases.
Outdated UI/UX and aesthetics; interface feels behind newer iOS apps and can be non-intuitive.
