This is hands-down, my favorite app on the market. The beautiful playing by the musicians who recorded these nagmas keep me inspired throughout a practice and the variety of instruments, tals, and rags ensures there's always something to match my mood. Thank you.
I have been using it for the last 2 years and it's just like playing for real . Specially the harmonium and Sarangee. I love to play and practice with this app, and it feels like I am playing with some artist . Thanks
