Summary
This application is perfect for studying and practicing Indian music! Since the app store does contain quite a lot of junk I was first quite skeptical about this little program, but it has yet to disappoint me. I first bought the iTanpura app but, while it is very good as well, I quickly went and bought iTablapro and haven't regret it for a single moment! It's very elaborate and allows control over almost every single aspect, so if you want to change pitch or speed you can very easily do so with a simple tap of your finger, and thanks to the very handy set of presets you can choose which raag you want to practice. New raags are being added all the time by the creator of the app, but for those who wish to do so there is the possibility to manually add new ones.
All in all: a great little app that has already been of great help to me and will probably continue to be so.
