iTanpura

The sound quality is great compared to other tanpura apps.

A very good app for everyday Riyaaz but it seems to be crashing with IOS 14. Is there going to be an update to fix the issue?

I have been using this app for my concerts and practice for over a decade. Clean, quality sound; perfectly in tune at all shrutis; features for Carnatic music like the 6-matra strum pattern and the ability to turn off the 4th string; and many more features that makes this a no-brainer staple for a practicing musician or student. A relatively expensive app, but the developer has truly put care into it and made it a robust, high quality instrument that we forget the cost of over the years!

I’ve no experience with utilizing the tanpura to accompany me while chanting. In just minutes of experimentation with this app my vocalizing has been revolutionized. I am finding that various keys are appropriate, depending upon the shloka. I never realized this. I cannot thank you enough. By grace of Guru and Saraswati I found iTanpura. Koti koti pranams.
