The app is absolutely fantastic. The user interface is intuitive, incredibly smooth, and more interactive than anything I've experienced on Android before. The variety of taals is more than sufficient. Overall, it's a simple yet highly effective application. Would love to see a dedicated lehra app as well from Metapod!!!

Great sounding tanpura. This app has become my default for tanpura. Tabla section can do with some improvements.. for eg, teental has 10+ 'variations', and the 1st variation is not the 'basic' teental. so I have to go searching for which variation is the right one, and each change is about 5 taps till I get to what I want. Interface for that can do with some simplification.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re excited to let you know that in the new version of Bandish, we have made the basic teental the first variation and simplified the interface. You can now easily switch between Tabla variations directly from the front page. We hope this enhances your experience. Happy practicing! 🎶✨

Sir, This app is amazing. Wonderful. As a ardent music player, I have few requests. Please include options to change the variations in the front page, instead of selecting thru menu every time. That will help us. For example, kherwq with 60 variants, to try every variation, it takes a lot of time. People loose interest in the song.
