Exactly what I’ve been looking for

I’ve tried playlists and they were never what I needed them to be. Pocket Bard is goaded.

Soooo handy

This is the best ambience app I’ve ever had. It has so many ambiences that help with my campaign, especially when my space clown player does something completely random lolz edit: I would love it more if less things were locked behind a subscription

Great app would recommend

Wonderful app. I absolutely love it and I’ve barely scratched the surface of all the features. My only complaint is how much is locked in the subscription fee… but I will be subscribing soon

Pocket Bard is actually peak

Absolutely elevated my DND parties focus and Just an overall good app if you’re thinking about downloading it and you’re not sure download it most of the sounds are free so you don’t even have to Pay for it. I love this app.

Geniale App

Geniale App. Die kostenlosen Szenarien sind perfekt für jedes Szenario. Was ich mir aber nur wünschen würde, wäre eine Einmalzahlung um alle Szenarien freizuschalten und kein Monatsmodell wenn das noch verfügbar wäre, wäre die App eine 11/10. ♥️
Dnd Must have.

Huge battery issue

Huge background battery drain when you’re not even using the app. I was losing an extra 20% daily just by having this app in the background doing absolutely nothing. Makes me wonder if they’re doing something else with your compute. Would be a perfect rating if not for this issue

Needs the ability to add your own ambiance.

I don’t normally give

I don’t normally give 5 star reviews but I have been using this app since I found the fledgling notice from TikTok. They have improved leaps and bounds I will continue to support them!!!! I have no negatives and can’t wait to see what else comes along.

Ambitious project, but the options are few

The soundtracks are amazing! I even downloaded the app to play some for my own rpg, giving credits of course, but it didn’t have many options as I would have to subscribe for the majority of it. I deeply understand that the project is not owned by a multi millionaire company, rather what I believe is an indie project (correct me if I am wrong pls).

So, maybe a feature that adds the possibility of making your own soundtracks would be nice. Since there would be still people who do not have musician knowledge and would rather for the more “professional” music for relaxing moments or whatever.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your review! You're correct, we're an independent company, comprised of artists, musicians, developers, and audio engineers - there are no millionaires in our midsts (to my knowledge). We hope that you're able to enjoy our 24 free scenes, including our newly released Lo-Fi inspired Cozy collection. We're now up to 73 total scenes when you subscribe and we have a ton more in the works! We appreciate your patience as our team continues to make our app the best it can possibly be! Thanks again for your feedback, especially regarding the user uploads feature. We know that this is a popular request, so our team will definitely look into its viability going forward. Please reach out to us at support@pocketbard.app if there's anything else we can do for you!

Perfect for dnd

Absolutely amazing app
Wish I could pay a flat fee for individual scenes

The tavern is amazing how you can remove instruments and get the crowd to sing along however I wish there was an option to choose songs as I want to make quests around the content of these songs but it’s a night made to find the exact 1 I want
But absolute bangers
