An incredible app. It has such an immense library of ragas. It is an amazing resource for a newbie like me. "Krishna opens his mouth and the whole universe is seen". My inexpressible gratitude goes to the developers. The next step I think it's to include a short lesson on the gamakas for each raga. ofcourse I can't even fathom the work involved in such an endeavour. Thank you very much.

Unbelievable, I come from a Lil bit background with piano etc. After getting this app I became a Carnatic Mozart. I love how you can come up with your own variant scale and it'll tell you other raags that's like it. Specially the voices and the instruments. I also love the ABC notation where it's so easy to understand.

From the perspective of raagas , this is a versatile app. I play the violin at an amateur level and this app is proving to be quite helpful. It would be great, if the ragas also added the sthayi too with the aaroham and etc.

Jany Ragas such as sarvakalamanjari,kamodhakatkadarni can be included.For ragas only arohana and avarohana were given.A brief raga alapana will be extremly useful in understanding the raga lakshana with appropriate gamakas unique to that raga
