## Review summary

Users largely praise Carnatic Raga as a helpful, easy-to-use reference that makes learning ragas faster. The app is praised for its clear explanations, precise arohanam/avarohanam details, swara matching, and usefulness for both beginners and seasoned musicians. It also shines with offline accessibility and a well-received interface. However, reviews repeatedly report playback and sound problems (no sound, broken play button, missing swara audio), spelling inconsistencies in raga names, and missing features such as lessons and multiple shruti options or favorites. Stability on older devices is also a concern. Overall strong potential with notable fixes requested.
