Pros and cons of iManjira app for iPhone and iPad

iManjira app good for

OM GAM GANAPATHAYE NAMAH OM NAMO NARAYAN OM NAMA SHIVAYA It is Brahma Muhurta time and i just found this nice App. ! If you are a Kirtan & Bhajan Fan or simply like to sing devotional songs and cannot use proper Karatala ither because you are on the go or because you cannot disturb you neighbours at home or in the hotel room at early hours than this App. Is for you. The sound is good and realistic and i suggest this App. to all devotes mantra singers. Alone this Instrument make a good companion to the voice. Its a little too expansive for the kind of instrument but it is unique and i am glad to have it. I should be listet again though, because when i was looking for it, it was not listed for Ipad but only for Iphone but when i wanted to buy anyway i saw that actually it is for IPad IPhone and IPod. CONGRATULATIONS !
Simple app that does what its meant to do - like both the small and large manjira sounds
Exactly like the real thing. That is what one would come to expect from the master musician-developer...
Very nice innovation. Very useful. The closed sound (clap) could use some work to sound a little more realistic. Also, if access to iManjira were available whole operating iTabla Pro, it would be really very nice - at least for those who have purchased both apps. Excellent app. Id like to see more features and improvements with updates.
Sound pretty good. Think about making it automatic like ilehra
This is a nice simple app that does what it advertises. Love the sound, and I can play a pretty fast accompanying pattern with the two buttons - feels very natural to me. And I love that I can now play this app with iTanpura running in the background and combine the two sounds effortlessly!

Some bad moments

After looking at iTablaPro (which seems very full featured), I was hoping this app would be more than a two-sample player. Only four samples: open & closed for large & small. No velocity or variety switching, no loops, no tuning, Really should be a freebie. —That is, unless Prasad has plans to improve it.
