iShala

If you love practicing and learning indian music then you will like this app. I use it primarily for vocal training but it is excellent for ear training as well. There’s a ton of ragas here, with pakads/basic melodies and even decorated melodies and arohi avrohi up/down scales so you can memorize each raag. As an American musician these are great to practice memorizing unusual melodies and for inspiration.

Tabla in this app sounds much more natural than iTabla pro app. Thanks for this app. It is well worth it. But it still cannot match absolute natural sound of Riyaz studio app that is unfortunately available only on windows. I request developers to please listen to Riyaz studio on windows and replicate the same natural sound.

I was thrilled to find this app that has worked very well for my purposes—learning Indian classical singing. I appreciate that the interface is intuitive and easy to use. I find it has the functionality I need to practice any of the ragas I am learning in different tals and at different tempos. The large numerical display of each beat has helped me tremendously. I have seen improvements in the app in the last 3 years since I started using it. I encourage others to check out the latest version and not rely on old reviews.
