User reviews

Users appreciate the 'Your Tanpura' app for its usefulness to singers, realistic tanpura sound, good UI, background play ability, and scale adaptability. However, many reviewers report frequent sound interruptions—with the audio breaking or stopping abruptly—along with occasional app crashes. Additional complaints include missing musical features like certain notes and tuning options, and an overall lack of smooth transitions between notes, which impacts the continuous drone experience expected from a tanpura app.

Lack of certain musical features such as pancham, sharps, flats, or varied tuning options.
