User Reviews

Users praise the clear, high-quality tambura/shruti sound and usefulness for practice and tuning, with easy-to-use controls and multiple tuning options. However, repeated complaints center on instability: crashes on startup or after purchase, and incompatibility with recent Android versions (e.g., Pixel 8 Pro). Several reviewers call it expensive and report poor or absent developer support after premium features. Some want more strings/notes and better updates.

Cons

Frequent crashes and app shuts down on startup or during use
