3.2.0 Oct 13
Meet Basurify Assistant
Ask anything about learning flute or using the app. It can suggest notations for your level, point you to features you might have missed, and help with Pro questions. If you need a person, tap “Ask a person” and our team will reply in the same chat. You can also share screenshots.
A more personal Home
New “Start here” and “For you” sections, plus a daily practice goal to keep your streak going.
Find notations faster
Filter notations by level. The Notations and Learn screens also have a cleaner, more compact header, so you see more on smaller phones.
Smoother practice
Section repeat now stays on the section you’re looping, with no flicker.
Also in this update
• A new splash screen
• Better reminder timing for your time zone
• Bug fixes and performance improvements
3.1.0 Oct 11
Small fixes and improvements.
- Fixed the applied discount code on the eSewa payment screen
getting cut off on some iPhones — it now wraps onto two lines.
- Digital Bansuri (Play mode): tapping a note on Android no longer
triggers a vibration, so it doesn't interrupt you while you play.
- Under-the-hood stability improvements.
3.0.1 Sep 26
A new Digital Bansuri, a new look, and Basurify in your car.
PLAY THE BANSURI
Every note a real bansuri can play — all 25 of them, across three
octaves, komal and tivra included — recorded note by note from an
actual flute. Tap a note to sound it, press and hold to sustain it,
or turn on Loop to leave a note ringing hands-free and play along on
your own bansuri. The flute on screen shows the fingering for
whatever is sounding, and a half-covered hole is now drawn as half
covered, so you pick up the fingering while you play.
A NEW LOOK
Home, Learn, Courses, Library, Community and Profile have all been
redesigned, with proper dark mode throughout.
CARPLAY
Browse your library and pick up where you left off, from the car.
BIGGER SCREENS
Real iPad and Android tablet layouts, including a notation view that
uses the extra space instead of stretching into it.
ALSO NEW
Video lessons in the Library. Practice tempo and repeat count are
remembered, so you're not setting them again on every notation. Free
users can now see what Practice Mode does before subscribing. And
discount codes work with eSewa payments in Nepal.
3.0.0 Sep 22
The Tuner, Riyaz metronome, and virtual flute could let your phone's
screen lock itself mid-session. Now they keep the screen awake the
whole time you're using them, just like notation Practice Mode
already did.
2.2.1 Sep 8
Smoother Practice Mode, and a faster start.
Looping an alankar, song, or raga in Practice Mode used to have a small
gap or stutter every time it repeated, and the highlighted note could
jump ahead of the music right as a new loop began. Both are fixed —
repeats now play back-to-back with nothing in between, and the
highlight stays right where the sound is through the loop.
Also faster: new users could see up to 20 seconds of loading screens
while signing up (after login, and again after each permission
screen). That's now a couple of seconds at most, so you're into the
app much quicker.
2.2.0 Sep 3
Riyaz is here — a new daily practice companion. Play along to a tabla loop, follow the matra
counter as it marks sam and the vibhags, and set the tempo to match how you're feeling today.
Find it right on your Home screen.
Also in this release:
• Tuner rebuilt from the ground up — faster, more accurate pitch detection, plus a new Guitar mode
• Digital Bansuri now shows a real, playable virtual flute — tap the holes, and play it in any
scale, not just C
• Your practice minutes — notations and Riyaz together — now show as a weekly chart on your Profile
• A refreshed Basurify Pro screen
• Nepal: pay instantly with eSewa, alongside the existing WhatsApp option
2.1.0 Sep 1
Fixed a bug where finishing a course lesson could show "Saved locally" and
ask you to redo the lesson, even when you were online. Progress now saves
reliably the first time.
2.0.2 Aug 20
Change the scale and the speed at the same time. Until now, adjusting one
would drag the other with it — pick your key and your tempo independently
and each stays put.
Also: faster, more reliable offline playback.
2.0.1 Aug 18
What's new in v2.0.0:
CHROMATIC TUNER
Tune your bansuri — or vocal, guitar and sitar — right in the app. Real-time pitch detection shows a cents needle, sargam and Western note names, and a gentle haptic pulse when you're in tune. Set your Sa and octave to match your own instrument.
STRUCTURED COURSES
A brand new way to learn, start to finish. Follow beginner-to-advanced courses with lesson-by-lesson progress, XP and practice streaks, so you always know what to work on next.
READ NOTATION IN YOUR OWN SCRIPT
The same music, written the way you read it. Switch between Devanagari sargam, Roman sargam and Western note names — with komal notes underlined and octave dots above and below, just as they're written on paper. Set a default in your profile or switch on any notation.
OFFLINE MODE
Download notations and audio to practise without an internet connection — ideal for travel or a low-signal riyaz room. Your Pro access now works offline too.
INTRODUCING BASURIFY PRO
Unlock the full notation library and courses, offline downloads, practice mode with tempo and loop controls, transposition to any scale, advanced tuner calibration, and an ad-free experience.
REDEEM A CODE
Bought a Basurify flute? Scan the QR on the box to unlock your included Pro access instantly. Workshop, gift and partner codes work the same way — or enter any code from Profile → Redeem a code.
NOTIFICATION CENTRE
A proper inbox. Announcements now stay in the app so you can read them later, alongside your own practice milestones, lesson completions and account updates — with full history.
UPGRADED MEDIA PLAYER
Repeat and shuffle join the existing section-repeat and speed controls.
COMMUNITY ON WHATSAPP
Join the Basurify community group straight from the app to connect with other players.
FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
- Pro features now work correctly when your device is offline
- Downloaded notations open instantly instead of waiting on the network
- Fixed a loading flicker on app start
- Fixed an Android playback issue
- Faster, more reliable search
- General stability and performance improvements

SMARTER PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Notifications now arrive at the right time for you, wherever you are in the world. We've improved how we calculate your preferred time zone so practice reminders land in the evening — not at 1am.
LINKS STAY INSIDE THE APP

simple, local payment option activated within 24 hours.

What's new in v1.0.6:
CONTINUE LISTENING
Pick up right where you left off. The Home screen now shows your in-progress audio tracks from My Library so you can resume practice without hunting for your place.
SMARTER AUTO-SCROLL
The auto-scroll control has been redesigned - it now floats as a compact circle when not in use and expands into a full control panel when tapped. Auto-scroll also automatically pauses when you start playing audio, since the player takes over scrolling for you.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR NEW USERS
First time on a notation screen? The app will now guide you on how to save a notation to your favourites, and explain what the Section Repeat button does - so you get the most out of every practice session.
FIND US ONLINE
