  • Great app, but...

    Love this idea, and it's very well executed. However, I use my device to run stats for my game and when you exit the app, the audio stops abruptly. Would like the ability to run audio in the background, please!
  • 10/10

    Love it, has everything I wanted for adding just that little bit extra to my 5th ed campaign.
  • Background Audio

    This is a really great app to add that extra bit of ambience to your adventures. Unfortunately, one flaw (mentioned by other reviewers) puts it just short of a perfect rating. Background audio support would make this the perfect D&D music app.
  • Fantastic

    I love to use this app while DMing. My players are never expecting it the first time and they always get so excited and immersed. Great app all in all. My only issue is that some of the ambiences are just a different pitch of wind blowing quietly, which is kinda lame. But it's not very common, so the app is still one of my favorite D&D assets to use. Definitely would recommend.

  • Great app, a few draw backs

    So this is a great app. Good interface easy to use. I think it would be nice to have a pause button on the different effect and sounds, not just the music. It crosses the boarder from background noise to foreground noise. Even on its lowest setting there are a lot of sounds going on at once. Otherwise the labeling is great, music and sound effects are very well crafted.

  • I love this, but one improvement.

    I love this app, it's got some great music and it goes amazingly with my campaigns, only one improvement to be made, make a place with favourites, not only for the FX sounds, make a favourite tab for everything, so I don't have to go searching for that one I know I want. Other than that I think the app is great.

  • Great Value, everything I wanted.

    After searching many options to use during our tapletop RPG sessions, this is by far the best value, and actually most customizable. I found everything I wanted in this app. I wanted to be able to use my own music and sounds from within the app, yup. It's a one time fee, not a subscription based service, yup. It has a lot of preloaded songs and effects from all genres, yup. It has the ability to preset music and effects in a custom way so that I with one button I can have all of my custom ambience playing, yup. Also some of the reviews, although positive stated they wanted to be able to turn up or down aspects of the volume, but couldn't. Maybe there has been an update, but I easily found the mixer and was able to do all of that very easily.

    Very happy. I hope they are able to add even more sounds and songs, I would gladly pay a dollar or two for an expansion, but it is pretty loaded and like I said you can import your own playlists right out of iTunes.

    Great!

  • Nice but...

    The one thing I would really love to see is the ability to pause the environmental music. Sometimes I just want to use the sound effects and its hard to even hear them properly over the environmental.
  • A few things holding it back...

    So far I'm loving the quality of this app, but I feel there are three things that are holding it back from being a solid 5-star:

    1. Background capability: I use my iPad for referencing campaign notes, which creates odd moments of silence when I switch apps. As such, I run DMDJ from my iPhone, but this kills the battery since I can't turn the screen off.
    2. Landscape on iPads: I feel like this is pretty self explanatory. Your website recommends using an iPad for a better overall experience. Most iPad cases orient the iPad in landscape.
    3. A nice to have: iCloud backup the snapshots for easy transitioning between devices.

  • Great app for my campaigns

    I love everything about this app. Well worth the money. Gives my campaigns that extra flavor. Please add background capability. I use multiple apps to organize my campaigns and I am forced to choose between music and tracking my encounters in another app. Other than that everything works fantastic.
