Almost
This app is outstanding for TTRPG needs, almost all your needs. If they had Japanese/Samurai themed scenes it would be perfect.
Dude the free version is amazing
So I am no Matt Mercer, but as a DM I like to throw some flare…….. how do I do so, well simple I just grab blue tooth speaker and put on pocket bard. Now the control are simple where I don’t need to mix any thing. I run a computer and then pocket bard off my phone. Works like a charm. You in a town, ya bet you are going to here busy streets. A dark entity is trying to talk to my player- the whispers will be ever faint but heard. Wolves at the gates ya know the got them howls.
I guess what I am trying to say is stop looking this is the app you want for your next d&d session to emersion our players crave ever since baulders gate came out.

Set the tone for your next dnd adventure!
I was looking to improve my audio experience for my players. And I stumbled upon Pocket Bard. The control you have over a scene is phenomenal! I’m only using the free version right now and it’s so good! Hope to purchase the year subscription to support this wonderful app!
A scene for everything
This app has been so great for my campaigns. I’ve also been enjoying having it on as I do everyday things. You can tell a lot of effort has gone into the music and sound effects. The developers also are really quick to help out on the discord and very friendly.
First choice
Great tool for sessions - unobtrusive and easy to set up.
No sound
I have been trying for a bit but no audio is coming from this app. it didn’t ask for the permission for audio either, could someone help please?
uptdate: i downloaded it on my pc and it started working on both. i’m not sure what the issue was or why it is solved but i enjoy this app.

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
Best music
Ever since I got this my games have gotten so much more interesting and fun
Doesn’t AirPlay to HomePod or to Bluetooth speaker
Title says it all…
Also I would prefer paying once for each scene instead of an expensive subscription

It’s perfect in every way
As a musician who plays dnd, when I first tried out the app, I thought it was all AI music because of how perfect and smoothly it all transitioned but when I learned that it was all composed and played by actual people??? Absolutely amazing app with so many choices, even with the free part you get everything you could possibly need for every situations your players will get you in. And you can adapt to that in the simple click of a button. Love it 🔥

Amazing
Best way to play music for my dnd campaign
It’s the best DND app I’ve ever seen
It is a crime that this app isn’t 5 stars, as I don’t even need to pay to use this app’s beautiful music and ambience. I’m shocked that there aren’t some form of ads at all.
EDIT:
Fun fact - if you turn on the lyrics in the Tavern, set the intensity to max, and turn on the crowd, there will be a crowd of singers.

Great for Background Ambience at Work
I love this app so much. I have been using it for background ambient noise in my office. I can dial up more intensity if I need it or keep it really chill and calm. It scratches that geeky fantasy vibe I love while I am working. Plus there is enough variety that I don’t notice the looping as much. Thank you for putting this out!

Fantastic music.
This has taken such a headache away from selecting music before every session. Now it’s more about vibes and gives me time to focus on how to unalive my players
Yes
PEAK.
So freaking amazing
Everything about this app is great, the only reason I wanted to leave a review was to bring up having like a live band or a lute playing in the background of the tavern. The tavern still feels fun, but the band would take it the extra mile for me
So GOOD + No AI !!!
The fact that some DnD music app use only AI but THIS one is human made + easy to use + detailed make it sooo GOOD !! Hope to see more « places » and variety :) !!
Response from developer
Thanks very much for your review! We are proud that all the content in Pocket Bard was lovingly made by human artists and creatives - even our scene art! We have a ton of new scenes coming, so we appreciate your patience as we continue work expanding Pocket Bard. If there's anything you need, or if you have any suggestions, please let us know: support@pocketbard.app - thanks so much for your time!
Pocket Bard Leveled up!!!!!
I attempted using pocket hard years ago when it was still new, and ended up trying music other ways. BUT IN 2026 IM BACK! I redownloaded it recently for a new D&D campaign and was absolutely blown away by how many new places, new features, and quality of life changes. From one DM to any other out there you should really seriously consider adding pocket bard to your bag of tricks, it makes it so much easier to never ruin the vibe of a session with ads, or a wrong song in the playlist, and it flows SO SEAMLESSLY. Pocket Bard I love you❤️

Worth Every Penny
By far the best audio app for DND/TTRPG I have EVER used! Seamless, easy, and the free content alone covers the vast majority of what you'd need. I have the subscription for more particular settings and because I want to support the creators. I listen to the Tavern Soundtrack with Vocals in my own time bc it's just sooo beautiful and peaceful. 10/10 app!

Meets all my needs
I love this app and my players do to, its simple to use and the only thing i have to worry about is forgetting to change the tone as we move through the session
