Good controls and features but not many free options
The ambience is really good and the controls are fantastic, and the light control options are very cool. But there are only 3 free options and everything else is paid dlc, and well other apps do that too they normally have a few more free options to play around with, that said this one is has a lot of interesting stuff and features. (*edit* I may buy the all worlds dlc, because compared to the other apps which are monthly subscription based and way more expensive this is actually immersive and properly sets the tone while sounding good)

Perfect! Though it needs more content…
I do really appreciate how the app can be used while simultaneously playing music from another app. Syncing Spotify and this makes a perfect atmosphere. However, I think there should be more biomes. Maybe jungles, victorian cities, libraries, or even sci-fi/cyberpunk cities and spaceships.
Awesome
Love the variety, love the fact it stays playing when you switch to another app, love the one off random sounds you can customise frequency on. Just need a running water add-on for the cave setting.
I do need to switch to another app for combat music, unless I haven’t noticed that somewhere in this one, otherwise would be perfect for my entire game.

Great app
Love using this in my sessions. I’d love to see support for more smart bulb brands added (GE CYNC specifically).
Love this app
I got this app awhile ago and it was my favorite out of all the apps for hue lights. I don’t play RPGs but loved the fantasy scenes. This sure wants to make me learn how to play though. I play other types of board games. Sadly I lost this app when my phone died and I guess I didn’t have it backed up. I searched for this app to get again but I must say this is a very hard app to find. By accident years latter when buying another hue light app this one finally popped back up. It is way better than I remember including even more fantasy scenes.

Stellar
This app is a huge boon to any gaming setup. When I first opened it the amount of options felt a little overwhelming compared to other apps of a similar kind; however after a few minutes of noodling it clarifies itself and is actually quite intuitive.
The biggest recommendation I can give this app is such: Although other comparable apps within the sector have perhaps more intricately designed musical compositions—they still operate on a loop—which becomes grating. If you’re reading this review you know what I mean. That wolf howl loops for the 10 millionth time. That one flurry of notes you loved the first 30 times becomes incredibly irritating. By adding the complexity of a simple sound board (something I’m used to seeing but absolutely understand why at first glance it’s a lot), allows the players or DM to shush that silly sound effect. Or apply a significantly smaller occurrence.
For example: I’m playing a game called Sleeping Gods, sailing the high seas. Though just clicking one the options ‘Sailing Overseas’ is great-it inevitably falls victim to the loop conundrum. This app beautifully skirts it’s by allowing me to drop out the music, or add thunder or whatever. You can really strip it down to bare essentials-these small effects allow the larger, orchestral, sound effect ridden moments to really shine! Earn it.
I hope they continue to expand their offerings in app. I understand their want to have some type of ease of use but their should be a master board option that allows you to access every sound effect across all genres.
PS I was inspired to write this review because the storybook in Sleeping Gods told me I entered a damp forest and I went to the app to find a comparable genre and found one titled Damp Forest.

Good app an I’ve only used the free version
The free version so far has been a great help I love the way you can switch off music at a flick of a switch especially when the moment calls for no music, its also nice because it doesn’t just stop abruptly it fades out which is nice and not jarring
So far this has caused me to want to spend the $16 on the full version and see how my games can turn into an add filled adventure with YouTube to a fully immersive adventure with RPG soundscapes
Thank you for making this app cheap and really easy to use would recommend to any game master out there who is looking for music and ambience
It’s almost criminal how this app doesn’t have any full reviews or more traffic.
Well done I can’t wait to see what this developer has to offer in the future

Why isn’t every DM using this???
Syrinscape seems to be the big supporter dnd sound board. It’s not good, with a horrible interface.
I’ve used so many. Same story. Janky music, bad interfaces, and in the end just went back to a Spotify playlist. Not with this app.
This sound board is clean, works well, you can overlap your Spotify music on top. I just hooked it up to my hue lights and it’s crazy this thing is so cheap. It auto changed the colored lights. Things light lightening light up the room.
We even used it for our Christmas doing Spotify music over the tavern background. It was great ambiance.
Crazy that this thing doesn’t have 10k reviews.

Good but more needed
I really like the app. Beautifully made!!!
Paying 25$ is a high price for only 37 world sounds in my opinion. Not enough combat music. I’d really like to see at least 100 options of music. It’s a 3 star for now mainly because of the price with not a lot of content.

Almost perfect!
This app is fantastic in terms of how many boxes it checks! Crossfades between scenes, configurable presets within scenes, audio mixing with other app (this is a big one for me!).
The only thing missing is the ability to import our own sounds. I don’t tend to run games in a traditional fantasy setting and so most of the preset scenes aren’t useable for me. I have a big collection of SFX I’d love to be able to import instead

Just what I was looking for
I can set an audio and visual scene with just this app, tap to toss in immediate sound effects, set the mood, increase tension and energy. App was a little buggy when I first got it but subsequent updates have smoothed it out and improved it greatly. I run it now during every gaming session.
Update: This app just keeps getting better as they release more scenes. I couldn’t more highly recommend.

Very much worth it
I’m amazed at low the number of reviews for this there are. As stated by other folks, this is high quality and VERY user friendly, the latter I really appreciate it. The most valuable $15 I’ve spent on a DM resource.
Great app!
I live this sound system, combined with the Hue lights overhead and the hue strip on the table our group is fully immersed in the story line of any dnd campaign we are in!
The customer service is quick to respond to any technical issues I have thrown at them as well.

Must have for any RPG
This app is awesome. If you are playing Pathfinder, DnD, or literally any other role-playing game, this app adds all of the ambience that you need to help players realize and visualize the world they’re in. You can pay one dollar for a set of sounds, or $10 for all of them, which is what I did. Literally worth every penny.

This is a great addition to a DM’s toolbox
Ad on Reddit got my attention. Glad it did, cause this is a useful app to add a bit more immersion to a tabletop game.
I’m still playing around with the functionality and figuring out what it can do, but what I’ve messed with so far will definitely be implemented in my games.
The only problem I see at this point is the limited musical selection, but that isn’t much of a problem given that the soundboard is the main draw. Being able to create sound effects when appropriate is a thing that my players are going to get a kick out of.
Very happy with this purchase and looking forward to using it in-game!

WoW I really love it!!!
It did not crash at all like a person Said in an other previous review. It is usefull to play D and D with or Just Listen to It. That is a good idea. The sound is so real that when a dog is barking in the background that my dog starts to bark too! Lool
amazing! get this app
first thing about this app i noticed is how very user friendly it is. the amount of customization is amazing with most sounds having frequency and volume sliders, it really lets you make it sound just the way you want. the 3 free starting sets give you a ton of options that will add life to your RPG and the in app purchases i found very reasonable(1$ per set) to take things even further.
had a slight issue with my first use of the app, but after sending feedback i got a quick and helpful response from the developer who addressed the issue and replied in under 24 hours. i was blown away by the friendly customer service and i couldnt recommend this app more. try it for free you wont regret it! (and if youre as happy as i am pick up some extra sets and support a great dev!)

Fantastic!
I had the thunder app made by the same people so I thought I’d give this app a shot to see how it would work out for game nights with the crew and was blown away immediately. The amount of thought put into this and how easy it is to use makes it a worthwhile purchase.
This app changed my life
It honestly taught me a lot about how to use my smart light & sounds combined.
Absolute Gem!
The only thing that saddens me is how long it took me to find this app! I found it as a recommended app within another hue app. I couldn’t find it through searching on the App Store. Which is a shame! Because you really are a hidden gem!! On another note, the app itself, just absolutely amazing! Love the trigger sounds and the control I have over each aspect of sound on the board (sound layering). The amount of control is phenomenal!!! I can turn off the music and keep the ambience or I can change the volume of the cave drips and trigger some bats as I narrate. Didn’t even hesitate to buy the full sound set. Worth every penny! Please please keep up the amazing work!!!
