◆ ABOUT THE TABLA & LEHRA ◆
The Tabla is a percussion instrument widely used in Indian Classical music both as a solo instrument and as an accompaniment to vocal or instrumental music. When played as a solo instrument, the tabla is accompanied (usually on the harmonium or sarangi) by a continuous cyclical musical phrase or riff called the "Lehra" or "Nagma" (ostinato in western music) that keeps track of the "aavartan" or rythmic cycle in the chosen "taal".

It provides accurate as well as pleasing lehra accompaniment for a wide variety of taals and raags on the Harmonium, Santoor, Violin, or the Flute. Innovative features include tanpura auto-tuned to the chosen lehra/raag, presets, tap-tempo, metronome, and extremely intuitive controls.

Excellent for practice
Karu19

This app is excellent for practice . Covers most taals and santoor based lehra sounds best. On iPad the tuner does not seem to be accurate.


Crashing after iOS update 14.2
Sushil9936

Please upgrade the app its crashing with new iOS upgrade 14.2


App not opening
Sujata

I bought this four years ago. Suddenly it stopped opening.


Garbage App
Jai Singh Anandpur

Totally waste app for the price - save your money and don’t buy.


Great app
MonaliG

Been using this app for last 3-4 years for tabla riyaz and never ever thought of buying an actual metronome device. Portable and easy to use. Best app hands down. I also have the iTablaPro which is equally great!!


Good but needs resolution Upgrade 2020
arpanp108

Good but please upgrade to allow new iPhone 11 with Notch full screen compatibility.


Poor quality sound
DT123 user$$

This was disappointing. The sound of each instrument is so dull and low quality. Does not sound like a flute or sarangi. Waste of my $25.


Really nice app
gdyfhdhrbvd

Best Lenora ever, and by far, beats everything else


iLehra rocks
MattTabla108

I love iLehra. The violin and harmonium are very pleasing. The app is easy to use. Sure beats using taal pulse on my laptop. The cheapo in me was hesitent due to the price, since I have free software on my laptop. However, the convenience and quality are worth it -- esp while it's on sale!


Tons of potential!!
specialk

This lehra app is an excellent portable travel companion with tons of potential. It may seem a bit expensive but considering the alternatives and with updates on the way it promises to be worth every penny. I sent a message to the developer with a few suggestions to which he responded very quickly. He definitely seems to care about his products and I believe that the next update will only further show his dedication to these apps and those who support them. Keep up the good work Prasad!
