Top reviews

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.

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

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.

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

Love pocket bard😍😍😍

I love this app because I have really gotten into dungeons and dragons because of this app and I really like the music and I have also used it for other games that I like it is so good

Great for DnD & TTRPGS

Fantastic & Free. You would be doing yourself at this service if you’ve been this at least five minutes. You won’t regret it.

An Amazing DM Resource!

This app makes it so easy to provide background music and FX during my campaign. I love including the various scenes in my notes so I know what to switch to, but it’s easy enough to just use on the fly as well!

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!
