  • This makes games feel so real

    I use this for both, my 5e game and my starfinder game, and it works well extremely well. Every session I use it in is always looked at by my players as the best sessions. It really makes the game more immersive.
  • Potential for 5*

    Great app, but not being able to play sound when the app is minimised on your phone means you are essentially unable to do anything else with your phone. During DnD sessions I need my phone for various other apps and without being able to play music/sound in the background I will struggle to make good use of this app.

    Apart from ‘Snapshots list’ it should have a button for multiple playlist. I would like to be able to create a playlist for each upcoming DnD session and arrange the songs in order I see fit, rather than alphabetically.

    Also would love to see an option to link my music from spotify to this app.

    That being said a great app with a really good database of various sounds.

  • Natural 20

    Such a handy app. I’ve used in my games via my phone and found it far easier to use than another name brands tabletop audio service (you know who I mean). The UI is simple and clean. Because my group like to take it in turns hosting our sessions means I have to lug about quite a lot. So having it on my phone streamlines the process, save me going though tabs on my tablet or laptop, it’s sits separately to ready to go when needed.

  • Pretty Great! But...

    So I like it, but honestly there’s a few things I’d change.

    1) Some actual in-app tutorials or explanations of the custom dice rolls and some of the more complicated features would be nice.

    2) Some additions to the sound library it comes with would be rather nice. Under weather, I mean, you don’t have just... wind? A lot of areas are a bit lacking.

    3) Biggest thing of all, when you first open the app it says it’s meant to be played through a hi-fi speaker system. Alright. Understandable. But the thing is, you can’t even preview things unless you have speakers or headphones or something plugged in. It just... deliberately WILL NOT play out of your phone’s speakers. And if I’m just setting something up, testing things out, messing around... I don’t care about sound quality. Let me hear it!

  • Avoid: Doesn’t work anymore

    I’ve had this app for a year now and it doesn’t play any sounds anymore. The last update was a year ago. People have asked for stopping the playback of the environmental sounds and I agree, but the developer still hasn’t offered this option. You always have to play an environment, fitting or not, to hear sound FX. This is now a rotted out app with no further innovation applied.

  • Brilliant App

    This is a sound app I highly recommend for any DM! Its proved a big hit with my players and really added atmosphere to my game!
  • Brilliant app

    Good selection of sounds and fx, a must have at any tabletop game.
  • Half assed and over priced

    There are many better options out there. Being unable to still have the sound effects play while outside of the app is a major minus. This app has a poor choice of low quality effects. Don't waste your money here.
  • Super Helpful but...

    It's a good app with multiple uses for DM's, but ultimately it's still very flawed. In terms of ease of use I'd give it an 7.5/10. It syncs very easily with your music collection, even from subscription based music apps like Apple Music, and it has a very helpful guide you can access from the options. The Dice Rollers and custom dice formula creator it has are an amazing touch.

    The problems however are the fact that there's no effective quick way to silence the sounds of certain options. A pause button would be an awesome addition to have for the layers. Also the lack of sound affect options is pretty bad for a paid DJ app. Even free DM Sound board apps like RPGSounds seem to have more sound affects and battle loops. What makes the lack of FX even worse is that half of them are sci-fi space sounds and half are traditional fantasy sounds.

    More SFX, a pause button for the layers, and if you could make it continue to play from the background while I switch over to other apps that would be amazing. Or better yet, add a customizable initiative tracker. That would definitely make this a 5 star app. Hell even if the tracker was a paid addition with slots for info I'd definitely pay for it just so I don't have to interrupt the scene music to do my battles.

  • Annoying environments

    App doesn't play any sounds/music without playing some kind of environment sound effects in the background. Wish I would have known that before forking over my money.
