Excellent! I like using iShala. It should also include some regional Taals (from countries around India) and their variations. It will definitely get more users and buyers.

This is good application. When we compare to itabla pro in iOS..look like that is little bit smart compare to this. If you able embed all those features in this application. That will be great and no need to do marketing as well. For Android that type app people is looking for. My suggestion for this 1)In tabla start with thi hai and ends with end notes or thi hai. 2)Laggi and auto laggi and luggi ends with thi hai 3)loop recording option 4)autodetect the harmonium pitch exactly and fine-tune
