### 5/5 — Perfect TTRPG Soundboard

*2025-08-04*

This is exactly the app I was looking for my TTRPG game night. Several things to love about this app. First, it’s not a subscription! Second, the UI is clean and easy to use and is very convenient for me to operate while managing the table as the game master. Third I love that I have full control over the audio being played and managing the audio files. It was awesome to be able to go through and rearrange or remove the sounds to be exactly how I wanted—including adding new sounds if I really wanted to. 

After I did a bit of testing, there was a half off sale and I decided to just buy every sound pack and couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you for this great app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5-star review, Joseph. Happy to hear the one-time purchase model, clean UI, and custom sound control work for your game nights. If you have any feature requests or run into issues, let us know and we keep refining Audio Forge. Enjoy the sound packs!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for as a DM

*2025-05-18*

The UI is well designed and intuitive. The app works exactly like you’d want and expect it to. The monetization is unobtrusive. The included free library is extensive and covers almost everything I need. It’s fully customizable without having unnecessary features that makes it harder to use. 

If you’re a tabletop DM or player and want to bring some ambience and atmosphere to your game, there is no better app. 

I know how paid promotioney this sounds, I’ve just been looking for something like this for so long and I’m excited to have finally found it.

**Developer response:** Well, maybe we should hire you, that was awesome to read :). Thanks a lot, it's truly appreciated! If you ever feel like chatting or sharing ideas, drop by on our Discord server, the link is in the app settings.

Enjoy!
