iShala is an Indian music mobile app that provides flawless accompaniment for classical music practice, be it vocal, instrumental or rhythmic. It features:

• tanpura (x6)

• tabla

• swarmandal

• harmonium

• manjeera (x3)

all fully customisable in practice sessions that can then be loaded on demand. It effectively replaces a tabla machine, a lehra player and an electronic tanpura. It is therefore an ideal tool for anyone practicing Indian classical music, or just wishing to jam along virtual Indian musicians on any other musical style.

iShala includes over 60 rhythmic cycles, melodies in more than 110 ragas and 7 different tempos. You can also create your own ragas and fine-tune each of their notes at micro-tones (or shrutis) level. Possible combinations are thus nothing short of endless!

Along with accompaniment, iShala now also corrects your pitch*! Sing/play freely or over a harmonium melody and iShala will highlight any discrepancy from the correct note. This is an incredible tool to improve your pitch accuracy.

iShala has a pay once, use forever policy. A Premium* In-App purchase option gives you additional functionality under the same terms.

* Included with PREMIUM option (In-App Purchase):

• 4 additional tanpuras

• a low pitch tabla

• 3 additional manjeeras

• pitch detection to make sure you sing/play on the right note

• autotune session by pitch recognition

Version 3.2

If the app is a paid app and i have already paid ₹1499 towards the purchase then why should i be charged for the premium feature again. It should naturally be included with the app. If not then there is no use of purchasing the app in the first place.

All the glitches and sounds like artificial

I have emailed iShala customer care about this already.

The app is shutting down everything I change the raag or tabla style.

I have exam and using this for practicing all the bandish.

The app shutting down hampers the continuity of my practice and flow.

From my end I deleted and downloaded the app again but no help.

Pls see if you can fix this bug.

I’m facing some issues, whenever i connect my phone to a Bluetooth every other media player works absolutely fine except ISHALA!

The output audio is very low in quality. Can hear some distortion too. I don’t know if it’s a bug or anything but please fix this ASAP!

I recently purchased this app and now i’m facing this issue so it’s getting quite frustrating for me.

Thanks

I face very hard time using this app. Why do I always have to restart my phone to get the sound?? It’s mute even after all the phone’s sound settings. The app doesn’t produce sound many times. I have to restart the phone every time. Get me the solution asap.

P.S. - There is nothing wrong with my phone because at that time, all other media sounds work properly.

Fantastic! But sound and no.are not in sync and app is not opening

IShala is a great app! The sound is very nice and there are many taals ....the swarmandal is also very nice... this is an amazing app but after few months the tabla sound and numbers are not in sync..for eg. If the sound is in the first beat but the number is showing the 5th beat. Pls fix this as it is very problematic...I can’t do vilambits because of this problem too....otherwise great app....I put 1 star because of this problem. Today, I tried to open my app but it’s not opening. It’s getting stuck in opening last session. Pls fix this issue. Because I can’t do my singing classes and it costs a lot

I had one of the best customer experience with the Ishala team

The product is extremely wonderful, but the people behind it are much more than wonderful

There was an issue with the savings of settings on exit

This was pointed out by me to the team

They followed up with me extensively with quite a few mail exchanges

The issue was addressed and the problem solved

A big round of applause to the team

Superb sound

Its good app and helps syncing harmonium and tabla together along with swarmandal. The dual tanpura with paning effect is quite realistic. I use it for daily practice with tabla and swarmandal. This is a all-in-one package.

Absolutely love this app!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love this app!!!! It’s easy to use, nice neat interface and authentic pure sounds of Indian instruments. I use this during my singing sessions and even when am working, tanpura and swarmandal keeps playing in the background. The latest update is loaded with new features and I absolutely love these new additions. Many thanks to Swar Systems team

I have most of products by swarsystems and this also i bought way back but it was not too useful as app had issues crashing and poor support from swar team. But this year its much improved version 3.0 and has increased optionality of raga base and tuning of tanpura etc.which is quite useful. Really good app for hindustani classical (esp tabla students to practice).

It is a good app in terms of playing instruments together, which being a Kathak dancer I need most often. There are other apps where you have to manually sync the tabla and harmonium. This difficulty is taken care of here.

However, the worst part is only this - Teental Lehra #2 and #4 are out of sync with the tabla. Wherever you try to start it from, there is a 4 beat difference between theka and Lehra. This does not happen with other leharas, only Teental lehara 2 and 4.

Please resolve this as soon as possible, as it is a good app otherwise and I would love to give it a high rating.
